I don't think Google will go with 3 carries for this, seems more likely they will do what Apple did and just go with one, that way both companies make bank.

Hell, I don't see what the appeal is to the hardcore mobile-phone-using Google fanboi. If your phone has got a decent browser, you can access all of the Google mobile features anyway, so why on Earth would you want to buy a phone that gives you nothing more, with the exception that your browsing experience will be constantly interupted with adverts? I can see why Google (and others) want to jump on the mobile advertising bandwagon, but something tells me that people will be a lot more resentful of adverts appearing on their mobiles than they are of averts being plastered all over their favourite websites. And a lot of people are becoming increasingly annoyed with that as well. I for one wont be buying a GPhone if it turns out anything like I expect it to. I can just about bear adverts being shown with my emails, chat logs, web searches and alongside my morning breakfast cereal, but doing the same thing to my small-screened mobile when I'm trying to read my emails isn't something I'm willing to put up with really.
