Google Does Something Wrong, Miracle Phone Delayed

T-Mobile expects to launch a phone in the fourth quarter, while Sprint Nextel, which was planning to as well, will have to wait as Google doesn’t have the resources to do both. China Mobile, the world’s largest wireless service, is pushing back its anticipated launch from the third quarter to late ’08 or early ’09.

Our brother blog, MobileContentToday, has more.
