Re: No way in hell they should do this....

I can't wait for the day when BBR members are bitching about Google along with AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, etc. and how they're screwing consumers for the sole purpose of increasing revenue.

I can see both sides of the argument. On one side, the potential introduction of additional competition has to be good for consumers. Right? On the other side, I have no desire to pay $300 up front, plus $50/mth for the privilege of using a crappy phone plastered with Google Ads.

Oh well, like everything else in life, we'll have to wait and see if this even comes to fruition.

May I suggest using your phone as ..uh..phone then. You actually don't see adverts whiole your talking on the phone. And yes, I understand you want to surf while sitting on a busstop... but don't bark about something that you're clearly choosing to do!

Re: No way in hell they should do this....

Actually, I just want a phone, which is becoming more and more challenging. You don't see (or hear) adverts while on the phone now, but Google is like the 800 lb gorilla that everybody sees in the corner, but is wearing a tutu and appears harmless.
