So if this is actually the "google phone", why was it first reported that it was going to be with VZW? Or is the Dragon/Passion a whole different device all together?

Because Verizon asked for this model but Google said they would rather give it to t mobile and rejected Verizon request sooo Yeah i think this is the passion with a new operating system version of android

umm.. cola lover?.. LOL. can you link the articles that your immagination is basing this off of? lol VZW would have been offered this phone and spit at it. It would undermine the way VZW does business. its VoiP calling and data if all the initial reports are correct. As in, you dont need a voice plan. YLTG, this is a whole different device than the dragon/passion. The D/P is a souped up android device the like if the Eris was an Accord, the D/P would be a Ferrari. It still operates the same as the current android phones on the market (voice/data/text plans). The google phone works differently even though they look the same.

colalover25, verizon rejected the nexus one phone. they are smart, at&t accepted the iphone and their network is you-know-what. maybe their strategy is waiting til a phone is more advanced before they take it and clog the crap out of their network.

Regardless of whether you love the Android OS or any of its devices, you have to like how Google is trying to influence the cellular market here in the U.S.. Open source and a device not tethered to any provider. This is way things SHOULD be. The idea of whether the Nexus One is better than the iPhone or Droid is a negligible argument for small minds. This could and should be the beginning of a large scale change in how we use this technology. This is good.

"those who buy the handset bundled with a 2 year contract with T-Mobile will pay a subsidized price of $199 for the unit." How is this any better than the current process of buying a subsidized phone from a carrier and being tied to a contract? I agree I like open source, but from reports I've read, the specs of this device pretty much limit it to T-mobile as the only carrier that can support it. Maybe one day in the near future, when everyone has LTE based network, a truly provider-free device may be possible. But we are not there yet. CDMA, IDEN, HSPA and GSM differences still require diff devices for diff providers, period.

If that's the case, then that's different than what's been reported on other sites. And would be really disappointing.

more then likely it can be activated on any gsm network for voice but will need to use a wi-fi capability for data... basically forcing you to go to t-mo but i do agree whole heartedly on your first posting!!! follow me on twitter.com/the_savage_prep techno friends and ill follow you and we can start a movement!!!

VZW, its an open phone. As in you should be able to buy a vzw/sprint version a tmobile version an att version, ect, directly from google. It is just a different radio after all. Google just partnered up w/ tmobile for a specific contract version. Tmo and google have a good partnership. remember it was tmobile that launched the android platform. they have 4 android phones now with another half dozen on the way through Q1 if that HTC Q1 roadmap leak was right.

all indications are that it will be GSM. When they make it available carrier-free I'll buy it for use on Rogers in Canada. Would be nice to see the UI, though. Hopefully they took some of HTC's Sense..

This device is pretty much the same as the droid. The droid was the 2.0 flagship android device for vzw and this is the flan flagship device for t-mobile. Shouldn't be such a big deal as far as all these rumors are concerned. I think that this device will mark another step forward for Android in general and will probably add another big feature to the os like 2.0 did. What's sad though is that with the progress of android going so fast it seems to leave all these other devices (moment,cliq,behold 2 etc) in the dust. At least apple only has one phone, one screen resolution and one form factor to worry about so they can keep everything compatible. I have a cliq right now and I feel like getting rid of it because it seems so outdated. But the problem is I will probably be the same way if I were to get a new device because then android 2.5 will come and 3.0 and 4.0 way too fast all with new devices.

even though im not a fan of apple products their marketing strategy is awesome... and theyre very organized with their product line and they make everyone wait a year on their OS updates (unless theyre pushing a fix) which is why people lose their minds because if you starve someone long enough they will jump for a morsel. but google started as a search engine, they have the internet at their disposal, they have everyones innovative ideas posted on blog sights thoughts, opinions, yays, and nays. not to mention that their OS is open source and can borrow ideas from manufacturers UI's so of course they are going to rapidly pushout updates and better their OS. odds are once they have a good stake in the market share they'll pull back. supply and demand follow me on twitter.com/the_savage_prep techno friends and ill follow you and we can start a movement!!!

vztech, the cliq right now is the only one with the moto-blur interface. it is ahead of the curve, not behind it. yea its based on android 1.5 but it wont be forever. I have it now, and i had the mytouch. i love the base android and i think the blur is killer. It needs a little more refining and it has been getting it through the updates. Be patient, next month you will hopefully have motoblur based on android 2.0, and then u will have all the new android stuff with the custom UI.
