The previous link you posted states T-Mobile will be releasing a phone using the Android OS. Doesn't mention anything about a branded google handset being made by Google. Unless I missed that bit?

Looks to me like Google made the OS, T-Mobile will be the carrier and HTC are making the hardware.

No?
I'd have to dig around a bit, but they've even had photos of the prototype with the Google logo, and referred to by the media as the gPhone...though I doubt they'll call any of them by that name.

The Android OS will be seen on HTC, Motorola, Samsung and LG phones at some point in time and will be carried by Sprint and T-Mobile here in the States. The one they are referring to in the article is just going to be the first of many. On top of that, it will be installable on a big list of phones from those same manufacturers. You can already load it on pretty much any HTC phone thanks to the HTC hackers out there.
