Gaithersburg, MD | Hmmm... I'm all for choices, but I don't see what this offers us that isn't already available. I have both an N95 and an N97. Both are unlocked and I can use them with just about any carrier in the U.S. or Europe that uses SIM cards.
What does a Google phone bring to the equation that's not already there? |

| An open-source OS. |

1 edit | Hmmm...Symbian is the OS on 50% of all the phones in the world and is also open source:
»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbian_OS
So I still don't see what a Google phone offers, unless it's less expensive than competing phones. |

| That article says that the Symbian source code won't be published until next year. Anyway, point taken. |

said by Desdinova:What does a Google phone bring to the equation that's not already there? Perhaps nothing. In that case, it will only be competing against other unlocked phones rather than phones in general.
