Is this the Google Phone? Begin salt grain preparation

Although it appears that there won’t be any one singular Google Phone, there have apparently been some murmurings around the interconnected network that Chinese device manufacturer “E28″ has developed a phone that “has been pegged as being the likely core of the Gphone, with Google’s suite of applications closely integrated.”
The thing runs Linux. Okay great. It also can connect to Wi-Fi networks and cellular networks. So can a lot of other phones. It seems weird to call any device THE Google Phone, though. I don’t think Google’s as interested in hardware partnerships as it is in getting its software on as many devices as possible so take this one with a grain of something.

I am sitting here reading this post and thinking about my Verizon LG 8300. I love the hardware, only one slight complaint related to it of the headphone plug, but I HATE the OS that it has on it.
If google made the OS, or the OS was similar to what google does with all their apps, then I would have no complaints about the phone (not talking about the carrier).
This is a very interesting idea, especially considering the Verizon change in TOS today.
