Rumors flying all around that Google are going to follow the Apple way by launching a phone themselves. The rumors of the Apple iPhone are heard everywhere and Google too think that this could be a productive area. Orange are at the forefront in teaming up with the search engine giant to produce a Google-branded phone.
The best part about the Googlephone if and when released would be the applications and services offered. Since Google is at the centre of great and useful apps like Google earth, Maps, Gmail, Calendar, Spreadsheets and more coupling these with a Smart phone could be a clincher in my opinion. The word out is the phone will be manufactured by HTC, but this opens out another doubt. The HTC phones are all powered by the Microsoft Windows Mobile Operating System and would they be willing to turn to Linux or a open source OS.
Looking at the fact that the services offered by Google are already coming loading on newer phones with whom they have a tie-up, a phone of their own could not be too far away.

The new phone from HTC which is famous for making smartphones and PDAs is going to be the HTC Vox or the HTC S710. This may very well be a codename, we don’t know as of today what the company is thinking of, but we can get you some spy pictures as well as the specs that this phone will carry. The photo is a bit dull and hazy, so please bear since this is just a early look at the phone.
The HTC S710 according to the sources will be a Quad Band GSM phone with double keypad. Yes, so for those of you who don’t want to make use of the QWERTY keypad all the time there is a normaly numeric keypad too. The Vox boasts of a good 2.4inch QVGA TFT screen along with a 128mb ROM and 64mb of RAM.
Other features of the S710 include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and EDGE. The phone weighs about 140 grams and measures close to 100 x 50 x 18mm which is surprisingly thin for a phone like this. The phone could go into production as early as next month but it is not confirmed yet.
