Way more motivating are the rumors we’ve been hearing for months about a pure Google-branded phone. Most of our sources have unofficial information, which we explain below. But there are a few things we have completely confirmed: Google is building their individual branded phone that they’ll sell directly and through retailers. They were long scheduling to have the phone to be available by the holidays, but it has now passed to early 2010. The phone will be produced by a major phone company but will only have Google branding.
There won’t be any compromise over the phone’s design of features – Google is dictating every last piece of it. No splintering of the Android OS that makes some applications ineffectual. Like the iPhone for Apple, this phone will be Google’s clean vision of what a phone should be.
HTC T-Mobile myTouch 3G
We have news that HTC, a Taiwanese company, is building the new Google phone, but we think that information is incorrect. We have some reasonably good information that suggests Google is working with a Korean phone manufacturer on the Google phone – LG or Samsung. Samsung has numerous parts in the iPhone and could be pressured by Apple not to work with Google, which suggests LG is the most likely partner for Google. So rumors like this one may be much more significant than they first appear. But either way, the greatest information we have right now points directly at Korea as the birthplace of the Google Phone.
We’ve also heard from a good source that Google is scheduling a big advertising push around the device early next year – like January.
