Google Phone As Early As January 5th?

According to sources “familiar with the matter,” the heavily leaked Passion/Google Phone/Nexus One will be available as early as January 5th directly from Google(the website (Yeah, I don’t know how that will work either)).  Our own sources are confirming this as an internal rumor, so don’t take it as final (but possible).  Want more good news?  They are also saying that it will be available for a reduced price if you agree to a contract with our beloved magenta.  I don’t know about you, but I am as, if not more, excited about this phone as I was with the 9700 (I guess that wasn’t too long ago).  Leave your thoughts in the comments!

Update: (warning: rumors follow) According to Android&Me the Google Phone could be competitively priced at $199, subsidized by Google and not by a carrier (they would make money off of advertisements when people use Google services).  See, Google really does want you to use an Android phone, or else.
