I was thinking last week when listening to an NPR TotN tech segment on this phone that it sounded rather underwhelming. Even the tech guy reporting on

it said it wasn't groundbreaking with phones like Droid and of course the iPhone out there.

It's groundbreaking in the fact that Google is selling it "unlocked" and not specifically tied to a carrier. - JaxSean Jan 13, 06:06 7
- Not so much. Nokia and other mfg have been doing this for a long time -- nm - oblique Jan 13, 06:27 2
  - I thought I read the goal of the Google online store is to have deals with the major carriers for their phones. - JaxSean Jan 13, 06:39 1
    - Phones are rarely exclusive to 1 carrier. Most lower-end models are available at many. The iPhone is exclusive in the US, but not everywhere - Guigue Jan 13, 06:41
- And without the T-Mobile contract it costs like $500? Not the time for numbers like that, IMHO. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jan 13, 06:15 3
  - Have you priced an unlocked phone lately? That's pretty standard -- nm - oblique Jan 13, 06:30 2
    - Most people don't buy their phones that way. - Cuzzin Todd Jan 13, 06:31 1
      - True, but it's not some new paradigm or ground breaking effort -- nm - oblique Jan 13, 06:58
