Google hires Sidekick team to build Google Phone

by Patrick Altoft on March 21, 2007

Google has been in talks with several European mobile phone companies, including the manufacturers of the T Mobile Sidekick, with regard to the rumoured Google Phone.

According to an article in todays Guardian Google has hired the creators of the Sidekick to work on the Google Phone.

Google, meanwhile, has held talks with companies including Telefonica, owner of O2, about producing a “GPhone’”which would make it easy for users to search for information using their mobile handset.



It is believed to have hired the team who created the Sidekick mobile device which T-Mobile launched more than two years ago. The device, which has a keyboard hidden beneath a swivelling screen, gained notoriety in the US when a phone owned by Paris Hilton was hacked into and her address book posted on the internet.
