The new support line is operational from 07:00am to 10:00pm PST and augments Google's support forums, FAQs and email support.

T-Mobile USA eyeing iPhone launch this year or next?
Engadget Mobile 10 hours agoWe don't like to stir up the nearly constant barrage of "so-and-so is getting the iPhone" rumors unless we've got a great reason to do so -- and we'd argue that a Financial Times report involving statements from Deutsche Telekom's CEO qualifies.
