Passion is definitely not the Google phone. It is definitely going to be a GSM phone and will not be on Verizon. The Google phone is more than likely going to be made by HTC and they already have protos in testing and should be out there to Google employees very soon, so don't be surprised to see spy pics in the near future. But, from my understanding this is going to be using Google voice as part of the phone and will probably use the user's phone number piped through Google voice to rid of voice usage. So, whoever carries the Google phone will more than likely just be paying the provider for data and using Google Voice for SMS and voice.
