But no, you're right, that's not good enough.
So are you expecting it to ship on the 13th Jan or are you going to cancel your order? I'd planned on buying one in January - I guess not! Haha.

Forget the phone. Isn't g000gle trying their best at coming out with an operating system to replace windows?

You would think that they would have their own dedicated servers for this alone, but again, I'm not Google, nor do I think like them!!

Google should stay out of the hardware market and learn to take Kiyosaki's advice of "minding their own business." It just might be their undoing, or are they "too big to fail?"
