For those of you who practiced some serious restraint and decided to save your pennies for the second gen iPhone, behold the next superstar device which might make you change your mind: The Google phone. No word on specs yet, but I'm going to take a wild guess and assume it will be jammed packed with lots of Google apps goodies that will rock anyone's online world. Supposedly Google has been working with Taiwan’s High Tech Computer (HTC) Corp to make this Linux-based phone far superior to the iPhone. And yes, it will be here in less than a year.

Would ths be similar to the Iphone's features?
1blah. google is boring. i would get an iphone anyday...err, if i wanted and needed a cell phone that is.
2Google is awesome. Imagine google earth in your pocket. mmmm Steve Jobs can take his iPhone and crawl under a rock.
3I'm an Apple fangirl, but I'm a bigger Google fangirl. I'd totally buy this... if I actually had the money. Come on, it's going to be expensive.
4I wonder what provider it'll be on!
5Okay so I'm like, what's with all the new phones, get over it I like my phone, blah blah, Google's being a copy cat. Then I look at the phone and I'm like "GASP!" I like it! Now I want it just as much as I want the iPhone.
6...and of course I just got a new phone last week....damn it
7oooh! so many choices
8I love my iPhone. I really don't know what I did without it. I think apple has really raised the bar here, and the expectation will be for any new device like this will need to be as good as Apple's offering.
Google is great at some things, but UI is not one of them (The original Google Video site anyone?). Also, I am enjoying my iPhone now.
9I do LOVE my iPhone but I am a gadget freak so anything that looks this cool is appealing (wouldn't give up my iPhone though). I really like the looks of it.
10I'll be purchasing that.
11That phone looks HOT. I like the design more than I like the iPhone - buttons!!!
12omg! are you serious? a google phone? whoa...
13cool beans!!
14google AND linux?!!
15Nice sleek design. I'm more loyal to apple though.
16oooooh very niiice.
17Maybe they'll be smart and make it available for multiple providers. I loves me some Mac goodness, but the Cingular exclusive thing was a big downer. I'll definitely wait to see what this one's all about.
18Nice! Hopefully this will help drive down the prices of the iPhone so I have choices.
19I'm addicted to my BB, and even though I am a huge Apple freak, there is no way I am spending the dough to buy an iphone on ATT (ps: they suck). I think I'm going to pass on a Google phone though...love me some BB.
20somehow not that appealing for me...brands that normally do not make electronic stuff and just put their names in phones(like prada by LG) never interests me
21Cute but i love my iphone
22Looks interesting...
23It's kinda cute but I'll stick with my Blackberry Pearl for righ tnow until something better comes along...
24I wonder how much it will cost..
25i want! i am a google fan! If they pair with verizon that would be awesome as verizon rocks. I wonder if this is why verizon passed on the iphone? they were alredy in talks with google?
26I'm def intrigued.
27I love Google. Further proof that Google is taking over the world.
28Sweet...now they just need to make it available to more than one carrier.
29Is this a confirmed rumor... That Google is making a phone? I've heard it debunked a few times. But I would totally love it if they did make one.
30I love it. It's white! Yay! Haha.
31Haha, that's great! In the techwars, only consumers stand to win.
32i lurrrrrrrrve google!
33this is too intense for me
34Am I going to be forced to use terrible horrible no-good AT&T with this phone too? If so, I pass. (If Verizon is involved, then I'm on board.)
35ooooo pretty. I think I want this one. Even though I love my iMac and iPod, something turns me off from the iPhone. I wonder which carrier they will partner with.
36haha whatever happened to a nice, regular phone?!
37whyyyyyy.
Well that's cool. I can't wait to see what all it can do.
38I don't even car about the features, that phone is BEAUTIFUL. I wants.
39OMG OMG OMG.... I can hardly wait!!!!!!
40WOAH! I love it! It's even sexier than the iPhone! I hope it's not on stupid Cingular/AT&T. If it's true to the Google spirit, it will be available for all carriers.
