That pic was actually taken from here and their story you have found is kindof twisted. This is the phone Verizon is getting.

Google did make a version for their employee's only, that they will not sale. But this isn't coming to Verizon or anyone else.

This site has it mixed up ;)

Re: Real Google Phone (Not Droid) Check Out
 

Here is a good article about it

Re: Real Google Phone (Not Droid) Check Out
 

So its a Bravo running Android 2.1?? Thats it?

I like the idea of Google tryin to eff cell phone carriers in the a.

edit:

So GSM only it seems =(

In one article google says android as we know it now is not "real android" and that the NexusOne will have real android as its meant to be. .?????? IM SO EXCITED

Re: Real Google Phone (Not Droid) Check Out
 

The phone has gone through the FCC with no CDMA bands. Not to say a CDMA version will not rear its head at some point, but the phone in the OP's links is not going to Verizon.

Re: Real Google Phone (Not Droid) Check Out
 

Considering the rest of the world practically runs on GSM and the fact that Google wants to be at the center of everyone's everyday life, I'm not surprised it's GSM.

Re: Real Google Phone (Not Droid) Check Out
 

one glance and it JUST looks like a sprint phone.

Re: Real Google Phone (Not Droid) Check Out
 

Rumor is now out january 5th 199 with contract with tmobile

but antoher rumor I heard I forget where says they applied for FCC for GSM and CDMA.. and yeah it really does look like a sprint phone it screams sprint

Re: Real Google Phone (Not Droid) Check Out
 

So far the phone itself looks really exciting, but if it only goes to AT&T or TMobile it might as well be a Razr. :sleepy2:

Re: Real Google Phone (Not Droid) Check Out
 

I don't know breakmyfootoff. TMobile is set to launch their new HSPA 7.2 network before the end of the year. It is sporting speeds 10x that of 3g on Verizon.

My thinking is that this phone will be launched in co-ordination of the turning up the HSPA 7.2 system... and it very well could be... and I hate to use such an abused term... the real iPhone killer.

Re: Real Google Phone (Not Droid) Check Out
 

Auctually, they're getting ready to not only lite up 7.2, but 21meg in some places. If t-mobile has good coverage in your area, the speed/price combo is starting to look very very enticing.

Re: Real Google Phone (Not Droid) Check Out
 

Speed is nice, but have you looked at their data coverage map lately? I do agree that it'll be awesome for the people in those coverage areas, but outside of that, not so much. If they had good 3g coverage I would literally consider paying an early termination fee to get this phone with them, but most of their area is edge :(

Re: Real Google Phone (Not Droid) Check Out
 

But if motorola is successful in getting a roaming agreement to go through with AT&T and T-Mobile, that could mean good things. Not only would there be an app for that, but there would also be a map for that!! ;)

Re: Real Google Phone (Not Droid) Check Out
 

According to wideawake, Verizon is getting their version of this soon. He's waiting on more info from his data specialist :)

Banden, thanks for your input. Glad to see you posting here. Banden is a great friend of wideawake and I here in NC!

Re: Real Google Phone (Not Droid) Check Out
 

I hope this phone does well, if for no other reason than just to help Android grow and attract even more developers. Roaming agreement typically just give edge data connection though, so you wouldnt gain much as far as data coverage goes. I think the actual phone is awesome, I would just rather have it on a CDMA network. I'm not too worried about it though, my next upgrade is still 11 months away and there will be a whole new world of phones available by then at the rate that new phones are being announced lol.

Re: Real Google Phone (Not Droid) Check Out
 

My wifes line will be ready for an upgrade in May, if this phone hits Verizon between now and then I forsee a Droid in her future (the Motorola one that I currently have to be more specific :D ) and I'll get this beast on Verizon. I just dont think I could deal with Tmobile or AT&T's lack of good data coverage though.

Banden is one of my favorite noobs :D, dont wanna imply that he's new to smart phones though, but he is fairly new to the forum :)

Re: Real Google Phone (Not Droid) Check Out
 

About T-Mobile, I wonder if they are putting up towers here near my house? I wish I knew.

Re: Real Google Phone (Not Droid) Check Out
 

a lot of speculations from all over

Re: Real Google Phone (Not Droid) Check Out
 

maybe microsoft will follow suit and actually make a phone with wm7 on it, wish sprint would get stuff like this...

Re: Real Google Phone (Not Droid) Check Out
 

if they do, they'd be about a year behind seeing as how winmobile 7 comes out at the end of 2010.

Re: Real Google Phone (Not Droid) Check Out
 

Well, regardless of what comes down the pipeline next, I think it's good time to launch a phone like this riding in the wake of the Droid(s). I hope Verizon continues this trend as well because it's setting a precidence for the 700mhz spectrum that they now own.

Here in NC, Tmobile is pretty much just an urban option for Raleigh and Charlotte, pretty much everyone else has to be on some other service...

Hey Courtney! Glad to be here, I've been lurking for a while, and I've sent an obscene amount of people to this site over the years, but only now that I actually have a smartphone do I really feel I can contribute so hopefully you'll be seeing more of me. So far I really just hang out in the Motorola Droid forum.

~Yeah I am new to being a smartphone user... but I've been working with them and troubleshooting issues for them since the early days. My first cell phone was a Nokia 101... ah to be labelled a drug dealer just for owning a cell phone... those were the days.

Re: Real Google Phone (Not Droid) Check Out
 

thanks for the teaser Courtney! Does he anticipate the version for Verizon will be the same look as the nexus phone or will it be the same specs but look more like the HTC Bravo phone in the leaked brochure?
