Is Google really coming out with their own mobile phone?

Well according to Crunchgear, there might be a Google phone on the market as early as the first quarter of 2008! I usually don’t care to write about gadgets, phones, etc, but when I heard that Google could be coming out with it’s own phone, I felt myself more excited than when I heard about Apple’s iPhone!

Seriously, whether this is for real or a giant well-orchestrated hoax, I would buy this phone in a minute, even if it cost $1000! Well maybe not that much, but definitely for the same price as the iPhone! Not only are the designs very cool (I don’ think the final design has been chosen), but just the fact that this little baby will have all the great Google software installed and ready to use is enough for me.

Again, according to inside sources at HTC, the phone will have a “mobile” version of Google Maps with GPS functionality included, Google Talk for VOIP calls, GMail for email, Google Calendar, and Google Docs and Spreadsheets (the last one is not certain)! And best of all, it might run on Linux instead of crappy Windows!

Here are some more of the designs currently out there that might end up being the final version:

Personally, I like the top one and the Dog Orgod design the most! Those are just plain sweet looking, even more so than the iPhone. I think Google really has a good chance of penetrating the market if the phone is cool-looking and feature rich.

For those of you who didn’t buy the iPhone yet, Keep your fingers crossed and wait a few more months! Enjoy!
