Google phone in the final stages
Rumors has it that the Google branded gPhone is on its way. Now when exactly is a different story.

As for the handset design, Google is supposedly leaning towards a 3G device instead of a full EDGE compatible cellphone, this all leading to a first quarter 2008 release.
We suppose we will wait for the initial gPhone announcement before deciding on whether to drop some coin on Google's device or the iPhone.

Ain't happening. They have to get cell phone spectrum at first, there's no other way around.
