Google Phone = IPhone + Extra Screen + Scroll Wheel = Great Touch + Android

Apparently Google is not intended to be tweeting the details of the Google Phone, but they have no problem tweeting about how wonderful it is. And they also apparently have no problem showing it off. And not surprisingly, begins pictures of the device to take on the Internet. Without further ado, this is it.



Cory O’Brien, a San Francisco-based blogger got his hands on a night and tweeted this picture. As you can see, Google Phone, which apparently is called Nexus One (for more on this, see here), looks like HTC Passion, all of whom were in their previous positions.

The Price

$199 unlocked in stores. $100 rebate online if you have an active and old Google account. That $100 rebate is either to buy it $99 online from Google’s online phone store, for using on Android Marketplace or for using on any Google Checkout stores. Can also be used for T-Mobile or AT&T pre-paid Data SIM card service at $29 per month, no contracts required.



You will also notice that there is an important difference: This is not the HTC brand at all.
