gizmodo.com — JB over at Crunchgear has the exclusive on the "upcoming" Google Phone, supposedly set to launch in Q1 2008. His source is someone inside HTC, the company that Google's working with to pick one of 20 models to finalize their design.

Firstly, I have an 8525 (HTC TyTn) and it came with WM5. I'm no M$ fanboy and I'll be the first to say that Windows Mobile 5 did crash way too often; however, I've been running various flavors of WM6 for some time now and it is *MUCH* more stable. I basically don't have crashes, period. Sure I can lock things up through my actions because I like to test out all kinds of very alpha/beta software on there, but that's my own doing.Another thing - I can't really picture Google branding a phone packed with Windows Mobile on it. I still think Google isn't doing a gPhone at all and it's nothing more than typical Google rumors, but *if* they do you'd really think they'd pack their own OS of choice in there which also means they aren't likely to go with HTC since HTC is always bundled with Microsoft software.

ands it running windows mobile 6.0. XDI would wish google bases it on the HTC touch and their own os.

Apple are/were until recently, a Computing Company right? The iPhone is the equivalent of a Nokia Operating System for Macs, which is just as unlikely as a Goog-Phone

It said it could be running wm 6 or a linux based. No hint has been uttered.

I'm not sure this is reliable as they're stating that the phone will use either Windows Mobile or Linux. It was also "confirmed" earlier that Google has been developing their own mobile OS. A lot of contradictions on this one.
