Google 'Nexus One' Android Phone Revealed; Nexus One to Arrive in January 2010?

I’ve been waiting for this one…More pics & description below…

That’s right, folks, you shouldn’t be so surprised that Google decided to make the first Android Google Phone after all. Baptized the Nexus One, which implies the fact that more Nexus versions will follow, Google’s first Android phone is rumored to be produced by HTC and launched at some point early next year.

We already have some pictures of the phone and there are even some rumored specs for us to take a look at. But before we proceed any further I’ll have to make one thing clear. I am expecting the Nexus One to beat the Motorola Droid in features and specs and I really hope that Google’s first phone will be able to fight the iPhone 3GS and, most importantly, the next-get iPhone that Apple is surely going to announce next June.

The Nexus One will apparently be available as early as June 5, 2010. While T-Mobile seems to be the official carrier of the phone, Google plans to let you purchase the handset off contract too. And in case you will want to use your AT&T SIM card with the Nexus One, that’s going to be supported too. Should the Nexus One become a hit phone like the iPhone did, Verizon and Sprint will miss out on all the action.

When it comes to actual specs and features, it looks like the Google phone will run the all new Android 2.1 which comes with animated home

screens, 3D elements, new grid icon at the bottom of the screen and more. You can also expect GPS support and all the Google apps you can handle including the Google Maps Navigation
system and the Google Goggles visual search engine.

Other features include a 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED touchscreen display, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a 5-megapixel camera with flash.

Naturally there’s no word on pricing details yet and we have no idea what other markets will get the Nexus One in the near future. But we’ll monitor the progress of the Nexus One closely for you in the weeks to come.
