    I thought part of their success was due to the fact that they could offer lower prices not having that brick-and-mortar overhead.

    This would be perfect for me. I recently picked up an HTC Hero from Sprint, and the first thing I did was grab the Google Voice app and set it to replace all of the normal phone functions (voice, SMS, voicemail), so it's like my Sprint number doesn't even exist. I work in a solid steel building, and data signals from Sprint's network can barely penetrate. So it's great having my phone set up to use the building's wireless, letting me make calls from areas that are complete dead zones for everyone else.

    In reply to Unknown iPhone Model Number Being Field Tested in San Francisco
    I have a question. As many AT&T people probably are, I'm able to upgrade to the 3GS in two weeks.

    At the same time, I also don't want to upgrade too early if there's something better coming down the pike. What's your advice, Giz commenters? Should I wait, or just get the 3GS, knowing that it will likely be just fine?

    @Jeremy: There is ALWAYS something new coming. If you wait for the newest thing, you will never upgrade.

    @Jeremy: If you have a 3G now and it still works fine, wait 'til the new one is released in the summer. The 3GS is really only an incremental upgrade to the 3G.

    @Jeremy: Before deciding to wait for the 'next thing' determine if there is any need that the 3GS does not fill for you. If you can't think of anything, then you probably don't need to wait. It is not worth the effort of getting the newest of everything when you won't use the added features.

    @travisco_nabisco: That's a good point. The only thing I'm concerned about is storage space. I need every meg I can get and if they come out with a 64 gig iPhone I'll be pissed.

    @Dayv: I'm very interested in the autofocus camera/video parts.

    Just so people don't say there are only complaints about Apple fanboyism, but isn't a post about a rumor saying it's "a certainty" kinda pointless?

    But oh well, let's see how this one plays out... I love Google, but there are tons of Google services that I chose the competition.

    If Google ACTUALLY designed every element of the phone in house - took 2-3 years of development including a beta phone, I would be interested. I just don't want them rolling out some gimmicky phone. I want transparent screens, keyboard, HD, 7.1 surround sound, FLASH, microphone, 12 MP camera, 200gb storage, iTunes ready, GPS enabled, camera flash, and a sweet Hello Kitty dongle to attach it to my brief case. Nothing less!

    Unless Google plans to remove the necessity of a carrier with a souped up Google Voice and "the real Android", honestly, I could hardly care.

    Especially given Andy Rubin's firm denial of such a phone. I'm not sure how I'd feel about finding out your "trusted source" is more trustworthy than a development head of an open source project.

    There was some speculation that the Google Phone was actually going to be a VOIP phone, not cellular. Any confirmation of that?

    I wanna see ip address reports from these.

    Doubt they'd be dumb enough to test even a new cdma version on verizon's network, though.
