They now dominate the entire cycle of cell phones. The fact that the phone is only available through Google should be troubling to cell phone companies. No one I talked to here at the John R. Carlisle Institute thought it was worth all the hype. Its basically the same phone as the already available Droid. Not leaps forward in technology. The big difference in the Nexus One is solely the manner of distribution.</p> <p>John R. Carlisle</p> In reality they released another device they control.

I thought Google said that they weren’t going a mobile phone. When they spun it, and said, “well, we’re not doing the phone, our carrier partners are” there was still some minuscule shred of plausibility left.

Now that Google selling the phone themselves, directly to the consumer.. how can they not call this the Google Phone?

I thought they said that they weren’t doing a Google Phone? They actually are?

I’ll go back to a question to which I’ve never gotten a satisfactory answer: If they’re not telling the truth about doing a Google Phone, how am I supposed to believe them when they say they’ll protect my (gmail or web search) privacy? If they break one promise, what stops them from breaking the other?

They are obviously targeting only a very specific segment of cellphone users. </p> <p><br /> </p> The phone is too pricey for the general consumer.
