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...
