I disagree. Google has managed to get a pretty effective viral marketing campaign going. I've had at least half a dozen people ask me if my phone was "the new googlephone" while using it in a public place. They're curious about it and want to know if I like it.
Google has never used mainstream marketing gimmicks to sell their products. They've never had to, because the water cooler does their advertising for them.
