The days are numbered for the iPhone, the Droid, the Palm Pre and HTCs Hero – the Google phone is very real, and it is lightening quick, and it is prettier than the new Miss World. And it arrives in Janurary 2010!

Chatter on Twitter confirms that the Google Phone runs Android 2.1 operating system, and will pwn everything else on planet earth. Here is a Twitter message from a Google Program Manager, who writes “Stuck in mass of traffic leaving work post last all hands of 2009. ZOMG we had fireworks and we all got the new Google phone. It’s beautiful.” Another Googler Jason Howell tweeted “The new Google Phone runs on HTC hardware. I saw it w/ Android 2.1. Homescreen has new visual enhancements like animated desktop wallpaper.”

Another tweet says “A friend from Google showed me the new Android 2.1 phone from HTC coming out in Jan. A sexy beast. Like an iPhone on beautifying steroids.” And like many websites are reporting, the Google Phone is like an iPhone on beautifying steroids. Wowzers!

The ‘Google Phone’ is not just another HTC phone with Google’s Operating System Android, in fact the gadget is a proper Google-branded phone which the company is building right now and will sell it directly through retailers. The Google Phone will be an unlocked GSM phone. The gadget is powered by a Snapdragon chip and is loaded with a super high-resolution OLED touchscreen.

Now here is the interesting part – the Google Phone is thinner than the iPhone. It has no keyboard and two mics which are on the back of the phone to eliminate background noise. Also, it will feature a “weirdly” large camera for a phone. And in case you dislike the touchscreen keyboard, you can simply write emails using by speaking into the phone using its voice-to-text feature.
