Well, the "Google Phone" is finally coming. T-Mobile USA will be carrying an HTC-built phone using Google's new Android OS later this month.
HTC, the builder of T-Mobile's (and many other carriers') Windows Mobile phones, has delivered a touchscreen device with slide-out keyboard that looks like any one of the many of the similarly-configured WinMo phones. It looks like a fun little device, with good support for Google's services, but seems a bit unsuitable for "real work"- no Exchange support, no desktop sync (yet)- instead it syncs with GMail contacts and Google Calendar "in the cloud." But, with its open source platform, perhaps we'll see developers add the needed applications to get work done. Or, maybe they'll just build "flashlights" and games like they have for iPhone!
