"The device will have the Android 2.1 platform and will run special software, not available to current Android devices," says the WSJ. "Google would have conceived practically the entire software experience behind the phone, from the applications that run on it and the touch of the screen."
The American newspaper also highlights the possibility of Google wanting to play its brand more directly on the device, creating a phone that can work with all wireless operators and avoiding the existence of features that may restrict use on certain networks.
Other news claims that the model will be sold online and directly from Google, buyers will have to provide their own mobile service (customer of some operator). The Google Phone will be sold unlocked and users will be able to choose the network on which they want to use it.
Although the Google Phone is a model manufactured by HTC, the idea of launching a smartphone fully developed by Google contradicts the numerous speeches of the head of the Android project who argued, categorically, that Google had no interest in making or selling hardware.
