Hope it sells as well as the iPhone. I think it will be a tough market for Google to break into.
I think that it will surpass the iPhone in the end. Google has been a shark bidding it's time in the waters until the world was ready for its prowess. I'm very excited.
I’m willing to bet unlike most other network-unlocked handsets, this one will have full access to the Android Market.
eh if thats true and the unlocked price holds up i won't be able to get this phone …i was hoping to be able to use the tmo payment plan option to get it and $500 is beyond my reach for awhile
