For those who are not aware, Google released a mobile phone under their own name. It's actually manufactured by HTC. I've actually bought one and it's on it's way as we speak.

http://www.google.com/phone/

It is currently not available to buy from Australia and they wouldn't ship it down here either. I've had to deploy some tricks to complete the purchase and have had to ship it to a US address.

Anyone else looking to get one? It's an iPhone killer :giggle:

When I saw the news on this from CES I knew Australia got the shaft but I didn't think they were available at all yet. I doubt it will kill the iphone but it should compete nicely with it, HTC make some great phones and are severely limited under Windows mobile the touch-flo software they've stuck over the top of it for years has been a great feature but just like the ipod the iphone flourishes on word of mouth and people who just want a fashion accessory Creative, Archos and Cowon have all had players with much better features/quality but haven't even dented Apples lead, even Microsofts player is starting to look better and are soon to introduce Xvid support, if you want to watch video through (cr)apple you have to purchase it from them.

One thing on Googles phone though the front screen icons appear quite small yet theirs plenty of room between them, doesn't seem to be a wise move...?



Let us know what it's like when you get it

The screen is quite large so I don't think that'll be much of an issue.

Just imagine that glorious AMOLED 480x800 screen. It makes me weak at my knees :oops: :pelvicthrust2:

Does anyone else remember when we didn't have the Internet to use as a social tool? :hug:

:lol: Yes! But we probably shouldn't laugh because there's plenty of people out there who probably don't...

I gotta level with yah. I don't even understand what you lot are talking about with all that mobile phone jargon. If I ever decided to get one I know I wouldn't understand a single word the sales assistant was talking about... :shrugno:

C'mon Skavie, move into the 21st century. You'll only be 10 years to late, but we won't mind.

Skaven I recommend if you ever need a mobile go for the latest in technology (see pic). These just make phone calls and nothing else and all your friends will be envious of you.
