Possible Google Phone?

I'm signed up to a paid-survey website and well i received this the other day as part of the survey that i was participating in
basically it was a survey about a google phone, which was designed by samsung, but running what seemed to be a google interface, i totally forgot to take a screen shot of the specs but they seemed decent, not mind blowing
had the usual in par of 3g/wifi etc, had a camera 2megapixal from what i recall, feel really stupid for now taking a screenshot of the specs not lol

anyway here is the screenshot



just noticed my mate was coming online at that moment, lol ignore that lol

looks like a samsung design alright..

this maybe won't be the phone itself, but i guess we'll see one soon seeing the increase in rumours.

Like this one =

Hey guys i completely forgot to mention pricing, it was priced pretty competitivly in comparison to the other phones that they had in the survey, it was around £50 with a new contract or £199 pre paid, obv its just a survey and the real price if it is released will be no where near this, but its just a worth while thought though, i will ask my mates to see if they got the same survey and simply have not done the survey yet so i may be able to get a few more screen shots, hopefully they haven't.

Brother, I appreciate you following up. Sure, its just a survey, but, have you ever seen a survey on a product that didnt exist in some way shape or form? I havent, and I do them as well. I DID see something elsewhere on pricing, but your information is slightly more to the dollar, so to speak. The design is nice, but we shall see when the real things comes, and I have confidence it will. Thanks again.

I do agree with you Zodiac, in that there never really has been a survey on a product that doesn't exist, basically other things that i recall were that it had storage in Gb's cannot remember the exact number although it was lower than the 4gb iphone, none of my mate's got the survey either therefore im afraid its only what I personally can recall,
during the survey they did compare it to some other phones that may be considered in its 'range' such as the iphone, lg 'chocolate' (i was wondering why was this in there lol) erm a nokia (seriously my memory has gone down hill!) however out of the bunch it seemed pretty strong, hopfully there may have been some other people that got the survey so may be able to shed some more light on the 'rumour'
another fact i completely forgot to mention and only realised once i read the engadget article on this was the 3month free trial that comes with the phone, they kept re-interating this throughout the survey so...don't know what that means but its looking more and more like a proper google phone.

Is there a way you can look into your browsers cache and bring it up again or log into your account where you took the survey so you can check I would personally WAIT to go with anything else and see what this gPhone turns out to be. Much apreciated if you can look into that, brother!

Google is an expanding company, guess they're expanding into phones now. They are by no means just a search engine company anymore. Try telling Richard Branson whats the point of Virigin moving into another buisness sector lol .

Well, no, I understand branching out into other stuff. Heck that is how you get rich. But what exactly will the Google phone have that will entice people? As popular as Google is, there's not exactly brand loyalty in the sense that people only buy or use Google stuff.

Google has a great suite of FREE online stuff to use. Google maps, Earth, an office suite, email, picasa, blogger - many many things. Their calendar software on the home page (when you sign in) is awesome... if this could all be obtained mobily and with a device specifically desigined for it, well, Im sold.
