As expected, Google Nexus One phone was officially announced on Jan 5 2010 in California. The Nexus One runs Android 2.1, comes with features including 3.7-inch 480 x 800 touchscreen, GPS, accelerometer, light, proximity sensor, microSD card slot (up to 32GB), 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, and powered by the 1GHz Snapdragon processor.
The Nexus One phone is product of the close partnership between Google and HTC and Google has categorized it in the Superphones category. Android 2.1 on the Nexus one allows 5 home screens to be defined. The GPS capability also allows your to track location-aware weather information, which you can also create a widget of weather to place on the home screen.
Although it packs lots of goodies but unfortunately it lacks of multi-touch! Applications such as browser, maps, and other programs do not make use of multi touch on the Nexus One’s touchscreen. The answer from Google is “they’ll consider it in the future”.
Prices are as expected before, unlocked for $529.00, on T-Mobile for $179.00, and will be coming to Verizon this spring. Find out more on Google. Engadget has the full coverage of the superphone event
