Google Phone
Friday, October 19, 2007
Google plans to announce details on their upcoming smartphone next week. On the surface it seems like a good thing, the hottest new company with its forward thinking developing a phone to compete with the likes of Apple, Microsoft, Motorola, Nokia etc. Well once you dive a bit deeper its not so sweet. Google plans on using HTC for the hardware side and although they make decent phones I am not a fan of the hardware. They all seem big and clunky with little attention paid to comfort. Lets hope they start fresh and give us an easy to use and nice looking device.
My 2nd concern would be pricing, Google loves to give things away but at a price, they spam you with advertising to do so. I really don't want a great deal only to have my inbox, sms text messages and internet cluttered with advertising. I am not saything this will happen but if you look at their product history, its a good guess.
So at this time I will be sticking with the Motorola Q9H (whenever stupid AT&T get around to releasing it) and see what happens within the next year or so.
