Why do we need to subscribe to a 2 year phone contract anyway. Shouldn't we be able to simply use WiFi connections to the internet and to Skype for phone use. I want to simply pay for the Google Phone upfront and simply own it like I would a lap top or a netbook.
I am hoping that the Google 'Nexus-One' is the Internet device I have been waiting to be given to us. I want a truely portable device which is WiFi g/n compatable for searching the Itnternet, while also being able to be used as a portal to the Internet phone system provided through 'Skype'. I don't want any 2 year t-mobile, ATT, or Verizon contract. All I want is the ability to view the Internet with it, and use my Skype account with it through WiFi. It must also come with sufficient memory to be able to be upgraded with future Android versions for 2 to 3 years, and run fairly suffisticated programs through the Cloud. Am I really asking too much for the people over at Google Android?
