Verizon Might Deliver Google Phone

MrCrassic writes "There are talks floating around surrounding Google's possible talks with Verizon and possibly T-Mobile to establish an agreement for the carrier to deliver phones carrying Google's speculated mobile operating system. According to the article, one of the main hurdles slowing down the product are concerns about user privacy and advertising, one of Google's well-renowned strengths. With over 6 million customers potentially at their disposal, could this be "the deal" that establishes Google's hegemony in the internet sphere?"

Get a Move On

[jlf278]

What's taking so long? Google and Verizon please hurry up and introduce a sleek new phone to compete with the iPhone so my wife will stop nagging me to pay the early termination fee on her verizon contract. It's in all our best interests a true win/win/win.

I think you missed the point of his post. I would assume (hopefully correctly) that the majority of the people here know the difference between CDMA and GSM. If you don't already know the difference, maybe this article could be of some use. How to jump from a moving car [wikihow.com]

Maybe Google will make them never ring in public places and inform the user when they're talking too loudly :)

I'm more concerned about the potential collision of Verizon + Do No Evil... A paradoxical combination like this could rip a hole in the space-time continuum.

No no no. See, right now Google only dominates the tubes. This would allow them to branch out into the sphere as well.

So it'll hang up on you if you say "Can you hear me now?" Verizon won't be too happy about that...
