I don't believe this I'm afraid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It was in "The Times" and some other newspapers with quotes from people that work for google as well as other companies involved such as phone operators who all confirmed google being involved in creating a phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!I cant remember the details of the article but it included Samsung, a deal with Orange as well as Vodafone and its going to be produced by a sub company of Samsung but will be a "GPhone" as quoted in the times. It will also aim to be a rival to the iphone said the report.EDIT:Found the article:<a class="user" href="http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/technology/article1539555.ece">http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/technology/article1539555.ece</a>

In contrast with wanker-of-silver, I actually know something about the telecom industry. Google ain't making a mobile phone. MAYBE an OEM is making a GoogleTalk handset. I know several that have been shopping for XMPP/Jabber/Jingle to put in WiFi, single-mode handsets and cordless phones. But nothing yet is approved for production. Other products like the Skype phone did not succeed as well as hoped.
