"There are two gPhones slated for release with the first coming in September and the second probably not appearing until after Christmas. Given that the first is the high-end model and the second is cheaper, Google will probably expect to make as much money as possible on the higher-margin units at Christmas before revealing the budget model even exists. How Apple-like, eh? "Both will include WiFi, which makes me wonder if a VoIP client will be there, too. The high-end phone will look somewhat like a Blackberry Pearl, but the screen flips up and there is a keyboard for texting. No word on pricing for the high-end phone, but the second model is intended to be less than $100 — AFTER Christmas." http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/2008/pulpit_20080215_004309.html Here's hoping! <em>HeavyLight's last blog post..<a href='http://normob.blogspot.com/2008/02/s60-not-touch-on-iphone.html' rel="nofollow">S60 not a Touch on the iPhone</a></em> Robert Cringely reckons that Samsung are working to produce two models and they’ll be badged as Google’s gPhone despite all the denials.
