Comment on Google's biggest announcement was not a phone, but a URL

Comments

I really hope this article is spot on and we'll soon see carriers adopt this trend in the US as they do overseas. I've long lusted after various Sony phones (if only for their aesthetics), but I've never actually bothered to look into how good they are. You can't get them on Verizon and it's the only carrier I'll deal with at the moment. I would love to be able to choose nearly any phone I wanted to use on Verizon's network.

Surely there are larger cell phone manufacturers that could've forced this issue a long time ago, but none of them have stepped up to do so, or so it would seem. So I'm all for Google giving it a shot and I'll keep my fingers crossed that others follow suit.
