I am inclined to think 'what is the point?' and 'why don't they stick to what they do best?' to be honest.

The fact that a phone has Google branding makes not one jot of difference to me, I can search Google from my current mobile phone perfectly adequately, thanks.

haven't you heard the rumors though? free or cheap smart phone with free service? that sounds very good to me. in fact, they could put out of business all the phone companies.

That's another way of Google peeking into people's privacy. First they "had to know" what do you look for on the net, but now they want to know who are you talking to...

CIA will not tolerate this.

NO, you're getting it all wrong. Google could care less who you talk to. This another "feature" that google is using to get rich off advertising. This will be a good thing for people who can't afford a phone, or for basically any one that doesn't want to pay for service anymore.

I would rather pay money than be spammed by ads on a hourly basis. I imagine that free phone would come with "buy this... buy that..." bombardment.

Lol youd get intellisense on your text messages/emails i bet

MS should make a phone. It would rock. Blow apple away. They already have the OS.
