Beyond the Google Phone hype, it comes down to: be cheap enough or die
Might not be actual Nexus One phone…
You have probably noticed in the past couple of days that the hype surrounding the network-free Google Nexus One phone has almost reached its climax. I say “almost” because Google has yet to officially reveal images of the phone that employees describe using words like "iPhone" and "Steroids" in the same sentence. The WSJ says that despite using Android, the 'experience' will be different (read: better) than current Android phones. "how different" is unknown but the question is: what does a network-free does for you, me and Google?
Given that “Wireless Carrier” is the most hated profession after lawyers and car dealers, it's fair to assume that there mere fact that Google seems to go remotely against them makes the company some sort of super-hero. It's very good for Google's image. In theory, it would let you and I get a cool phone without being tied to a contract or to a network (most phones have to be unlocked to work on a different carrier network). Sounds great huh? But, wait, we had that option for years, so why don't we all buy a Freedom Phone?
