The Nexus One, the upcoming “Google Phone,” will be sold online and unlocked. But Google is also partnering with T-Mobile to push the phone after Verizon declined.
That partnership also explains why the Google Phone will use GSM rather than CDMA technology, limiting it to AT&T or T-Mobile: Google only made the decision after Verizon passed on the opportunity to market the device, according to MediaMemo. A January 2010 launch date has been rumored.
Upon receiving the phone, users will choose their carrier from a menu. It’s a bold move that will break the hegemony of the carriers, but might also mean we pay more (unless Google devises a way to partially subsidize the phone itself).
