Google Gets Its Last Shipment Of Fresh Nexus One For USA Buyers

by Stefan Etienne on 16. Jul, 2010 6:36PM in Android, HTC, Mobile, T-Mobile

The last shipment of Nexus One phones, which is the official phone of Google, has arrived for U.S buyers. The Nexus oNe’s failure was pretty large, but in HTC’s and Google’s perspective, the Nexus One is actually very successful.

A fun fact: the Google Nexus One was originally designed to “show” how an Android phone should be built, and debuted the genre “superphone. And now every few weeks, a super sexy Android phone debuts. All thanks to Google’s original idea of how an Android superphone could be.

Although for those of you in Vodafone in Europe and KT in Korea, this news is nothing to you. The Sexy Nexy will still be sold where you are. As for U.S goers, if you want a Nexus One, you’d better fetch it now.

Explained: Google’s Nexus One is Official, Web Meets Phone

by Stefan Etienne on 05. Jan, 2010 2:38PM in Android, Breaking, Google, HTC, Mobile

It’s Official and Specs

Google’s Nexus One is official, and who didn’t think it would be? Sporting a 3.7 AMOLED display, Snapdragon processor, Android 2.1, 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, light and proximity sensors, GPS, Wi-Fi, accelerometer, 3.5mm audio jack, dual microphones for noise canceling, and you can get custom engraving on the metal bezel back. The Nexus One is the official gPhone everyone has dreamed of for so long. According to Google it’s thinner than a #2 pencil and lighter than a Swiss Army knife. Also, don’t call it a smartphone, because according to Google it’s a “superphone”. Interesting. I wonder if that will take off.

Customization

Customization is something that Google seems very passionate about. The News & Weather widget allows you to grab feeds of you guessed it — news and weather. The live wallpapers that react to touch is another nice touch, courtesy of the Snapdragon chip. And did I mention Google Earth is finally on Android handsets? It’s about time. Oh, just a minute — apps are now finally stored on the SD card. Yessss.

Pricing & Availbility

As for pricing: The Google Nexus One will be $189.99 on T-Mobile and $529.99 unsubsidized, with a Verizon Nexus One coming soon to the States and Vodafone carrying it in Europe. Both models would come in Spring 2010, with the Verizon model being CMDA based. As for US customers who are interested in getting a Nexus One right now, there’s the $529 option and the $189 option, and you can get it at google.com/phone. One note for subscribers who are interested in getting the Nexus One with AT&T: it will only work on EDGE bands. Sorry, suckers guys.

Full press release and video after the break.

Nexus One Support Page Pops Up, Then Goes Away

by Stefan Etienne on 04. Jan, 2010 10:04PM in Android, Breaking, Google, Mobile

Above is a brief glimpse of the Google Nexus One support page. Luckily, while Tim Stevens at Engadget took this screen, he (or they) were able to click around, read the Terms of Service, and “watch a few videos”. Of course Google has now quickly closed the page again,but with the supposed launch coming tomorrow, you can be sure we’ll know more as it comes in.

by Stefan Etienne on 23. Dec, 2009 11:16AM in Google, Mobile, News

Is that an Engadget watermark? Yes it is, and the only reason why it’s showing up here is because of the info that it contains. You see, the Google Nexus One will probably first be sold by Google invite only on January 5, and then T-Mobile would launch it later (hopefully soon after). So here are the most important specs for the Nexus One, and then 2 more shots that display additional intel after the break.
