Verizon is in talks with Google to adopt the search giant's upcoming mobile phone platform. The company is also reported to be in partnership talks with T-Mobile USA. Although no official announcements or details have been released, most reports suggest that Google is offering an inexpensive operating system to carriers, which they can then customize and deliver to manufacturers. The Wall Street Journal expects Google to announce details by mid-November and for handsets to go on sale mid 2008.

🙂 the only reason Verizon would consider it!

and even if Verizon did adopt the OS they could cripple it to the same level as their current OS, no? so i don't see what would be the benefit, unless Google would allow Verizon some of the profits fro...

Not ALL T-Mobile phones have all pink menus... I have the Razr2 V8 and it has pleasing greys and blues in the menus.
