Yummy. . .but at what cost? I understand that Google will sell directly to the public, and not necessarily via service providers, but at what cost? AND if AT&T gets their hands on it -- or any other service provider for that matter -- I suspect they'll eviscerate many of the cool features and force users to go directly to their own app website (e.g., AT&T Media Net) rather than to any main menu or to have the option of programming their phone any way they want, and esp. menus.
Google has enough clout that they should require in their contract with service providers that NO functions are disabled, else it would hurt Google's image as a phone manufacturer.
Viva Google. . .go get 'em!
