Google Officially Debuts Nexus One Android Phone

by Warren Riddle on January 5, 2010 at 05:00 PM

Last year, T-Mobile introduced its G1 mobile, the first handheld to utilize the Android operating system. Since that debut, analysts and spectators have been anxiously waiting for the next stage in Android devices, particularly the much-discussed Nexus One Google phone.

Google announced the phone officially today in California. The presentation traced the history of Android and included detailed information about the size of the Nexus One ("No thicker than a number 2 pencil, no heavier than a Swiss army knife."), its features (GPS, accelerometer, light, and proximity sensor), and its hardware (1 GHz Snapdragon). The Nexus crew also provided insight into some upgrades from the early G1 models, including "better news and weather widgets" and heightened voice capabilities.

The Nexus One is available unlocked for $529.00, on T-Mobile for $179.00, and will be coming to Verizon this spring. For full coverage of the "superphone" event, head on over to Engadget. For specs and ordering information, Google's got you covered. [From: Engadget]
