Verizon had already rejected the original notion of the "Google Phone"...and if the "Google Phone" is indeed the HTC release in January, which has now been reported for weeks..it will not be coming. This is why the "Google Phone" was to be GSM only..pre-production Verizon denied Google.
It's pretty much common sense this was the original "Google Phone." 4G and LTE will be deployed by the end of 2010 and then in 2011 we can expect to see all phone releases to be on that type of network. Unless you are saying the "Google Phone" will be a 4G phone released in January of 2011, this was the only opportunity for them to release it. Time is running out on 3G..it would make no sense to release a 3G phone in August of 2010.
This was the phone that that Google wanted to be carrier-free, and fortunately it will not be. Because if it is limited to only Edge on AT&T...it will not be promoted as a legitimate phone for the carrier and will be imprisoned to T-Mobile where it will slowly die.
Sorry Google...make a decision about what you want to do. Do you want Android to be the main Mobile OS of all manufacturers to combat WinMobile and Apple's sole device, or do you want to be like Apple and produce 1 product line of phones with your OS. Can't have it both ways...for now.
[And if you do the manufacturers you persuaded to use the OS will look elsewhere, therefore damaging your marketplace value. Its the nature of the cellular industry and those are safe-guards placed so no one company can put a stranglehold on it.]
