Probably not. They'll end the moment it's released, when everyone's going to be talking about it just like the iPhone. Some say it's called Google Phone, some that it's called gPhone; some that it's going to be launched in 2 weeks, some say it's next year; not to mention that a plethora of relatively detailed pics are starting to emerge, not knowing which is fake and which isn't.
Well, in this informational chaos (which probably starts from a true thing, there isn't smoke without fire :), let's look at the users for a moment, not the developers.
What do you want from a Google phone? Something that others, maybe even including the iPhone, don't have? Share your views in comments.

Will the Google Phone Rumors Ever End?

My personal (and shared by many others :) view is that this phone should have free and permanent internet. With the level of advertising today, anything is possible.
Apparently, new details have emerged about a possible materialization of the phone, on Engadget:

Here's a quote from that post: "According to 'reliable sources', specific aspects of the GPhone are coming to light - the first suggesting that the phone will run on a Linux variant (which is nothing new), and will be Java Virtual Machine-capable. Additionally, the OS of the phone will be Java-based (as well as the all phone apps itself), and performance is said to be "very responsive." The browser for the phone will be new (though some say it's based on the WebKit core, which Safari is built atop) and will tout "pan-and-browse" capabilities. Finally, the word is that HTC is manufacturing the handsets, and instead of a single form-factor for the prototype, there are a variety of phones, all with QWERTY keyboards (one article suggests the phone will be "simpler" and less "flashy" than the iPhone, with less screen space, and a BlackBerry / Treo form-factor)."
