Interesting:
The Austrian branch of the carrier orange.com today stated it would not try to offer the Google phone to its customers. According to
this German article
, they find Google's business model "hardly attractive" for carriers and consumers and consider it "
problematic if Google can access customers' data via this phone and market them afterwards.
"
I somehow doubt that these are the only reasons for Orange to reject the device. Still I find it highly interesting that a major carrier (and not some geeky privacy club that never gets heard) publicly points out the risks of using Google phones. It certainly made the headlines today...
