@ poster- to say that Google’s app is open source is a misnomer, but I understand why so many peeps refer to it that way. Even Google refers to it as “open source” Read the terms of agreement to anything google has released and refer to section 11-1. It is “open” but is not “Open Source”

I like the phone and would probably get one but would do so with the knowledge of what it really is. Just a new gadget supported by a company I like. I agree w/ Rob Frost…
Screw MS.
Remember:
“Do No Evil” – Google.

It’s a joke, that’s why 1. he lol’d 2. he said “seriously though,” and 3. you fail.

back to the phone though, Do want. Actually, on second thought I don’t really care. I don’t need a phone to do all that crap. a need a phone to A. fit in my pocket B. Make calls C. recieve texts D. Store phone numbers because I never was very good at remembering phone numbers.

Seriously though, I would consider purchasing one simply because it’s open source and I support that all the way. Plus, I hate Microsoft and I’ll give up a few hundred bucks to help take a stab at those bastards. Go Google!
