The infamous Google Phone is kind of like Kaiser Soze - does it exist or not?

Engadget is spreading rumors – which we’re happy to pass on – from a Taiwanese counter-part, claiming a Google Phone will be in our hands by the end of 2007.

They cite “handset component makers” as their source. The phones will feature Texas Instruments’ 3G platform with EDGE and of course built-in G-Mail and Google Maps. Unfortunately, they will not be GPS enabled. The handsets are also said to sport both Google and carrier branding with “sources” claiming that European’s Orange might be the first carrier to see the hotness.

At this stage it’s still very much a rumor.
