Google appears to be on track to release a phone in the fourth quarter of this year. Supposedly it will have both a touch screen and slide out physical keyboard. Youtube has video:
I believe you're right- Android was originally being built as a phone os (an open one at that, I believe). I think google had some problems getting companies to allow them to put things on their phones though (hence we're stuck with the crappy verizon/sprint/at&t software)...so they made their own...I think that's how it happened.
I think the thing is kind of ugly...but it might just be the poor video quality...

I thought google was just making android as a software platform to run on phones by other manufacturers?
