More Google phone rumours, this time from an HTC “insider”, who claims that smartphone manufacturer HTC have provided Google with 20 different designs of smartphone for them to choose from for their near-mythical Google phone.

Apparently, the new Google phone will come with a custom version of Google Maps using internal GPS, built-in Wi-Fi to support Google Talk with VoIP, plus GMail and Google Calendar.

More interestingly, the rumour also suggests there’ll be an announcement in two weeks time, with the Google phone itself shipping in the first quarter of 2008, but then we’ve had rumours predicting an imminent announcements for over a year now, so I wouldn’t hold your breath!
