Nexus One phone being advertised on Google

Hans — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 21:13:28 +0000

The Nexus One phone that Google released yesterday is being advertised on the main homepage of http://www.google.com. If you go to Google you will notice the above screenshot with an icon for the Nexus One phone and the “Experience Nexus One, the new Android phone from Google” ad. This is a pretty smart move by Google as they normally have no ads on the homepage and this will catch the attention of a lot of people.

The Nexus One is currently available on T-Mobile. A Verizon Wireless Nexus One phone will be available to purchase in Spring 2010. See my Everything about Nexus One post for more information on the Nexus One.

Giant Nexus One tablet phone for $60,000

Google already announced their Nexus One phone on http://www.google.com/phone, but did you know you can get a giant Nexus One tablet phone for $60,000? Yes, it’s true watch the video at this link to see the giant Nexus One tablet phone in action. Pictured above is Matt Cutts from Google wishing he could take this Nexus One tablet home.

The giant Nexus One tablet in this video is a competitor to the upcoming iSlate by Apple (apparently Google thinks the iSlate is a tablet, when it’s actually an eBook reader).

Nexus One vs Droid

Hans — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 22:03:26 +0000

Now that the Nexus One Google phone has been released, the Droid has a new competitor. The Nexus One and Droid both use Google’s operating system and both are available on Verizon. Unlike the Nexus One, the Droid phone is not unlocked.

Here are the major differences between the Nexus One and Droid:

Droid will support flash, but we’re not sure if Nexus One will
Nexus One is unlocked and can be used with other carriers
Droid has a physical keyboard, while Nexus One only has a virtual keyboard
Nexus One is thinner
Nexus One has the Android 2.1 operating system which has a lot of new features (maybe Droid will get this update as well)

The full Droid specs can be seen here and the full Nexus One specs can be seen here.

Google’s Nexus One supports multi-touch

Hans — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 21:30:03 +0000

One thing I like about the iPhone is the multi-touch support it has. The Nexus One phone Google released today does support multi-touch, just like the Droid. Nexus One multi-touch is disabled, due to what some people believe are legal reasons. Although multi-touch is not enabled in the browser, it can be added in other apps.

If you have a Nexus One right now, search for PicSay in the Android Market and download it. This app will support multi-touch and pinch and zoom.

Everything about Google Nexus One ‘Superphone’

Hans — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 20:37:51 +0000

Today Google launched their Nexus One “Superphone”. The Nexus One runs on Google’s Android Mobile Technology Platform 2.1 (Eclair) which has new features like live wallpapers, and voice enabled for every text field.

The Nexus One will be available on only two carriers in the US: T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless. As of right now it’s only available on T-Mobile, but it will be available on Verizon in Spring. T-Mobile users can get the Nexus One for $179 and a 2-year contract.

The Nexus One phone will also be available to those in the UK through Vodafone, but no date has been announced. Vodafone won’t be an exclusive carrier, and other carriers in the UK may start offering the Nexus One on their network too. Once Vodafone gets the Nexus One you will only be able to order it through Google’s website.

To order the Google phone go to http://www.google.com/phone. You must have a Google account and use Google Checkout to purchase. If you want to see the specs go to this page. You can also take a 3D tour of the Nexus One phone at http://www.google.com/googlephone/tour/.

Buy Nexus One phone at www.google.com/phone

Hans — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 19:08:57 +0000

You can now buy the Nexus One phone at http://www.google.com/phone. The pricing information that was leaked earlier was correct! Nexus One will not only be available on T-Mobile, but it will also be available on Verizon Wireless in Spring 2010.

If you want to buy the Nexus One phone unlocked, it will cost you $529. I you want to buy it with T-Mobile it will cost $179 with a two-year contract.

Nexus One Verizon Wireless phone coming soon

Hans — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 18:48:09 +0000

Google has just updated their page on http://www.google.com/phone. They have revealed that the Nexus One is coming to Verizon Wireless in Spring 2010. As a Droid owner I can say that I’m really happy with these news. The Nexus One is a great phone, and I’ll definitely be switching to it once it’s available on Verizon Wireless.

Android users: Are you going to be getting the Nexus One? I think it’s the best Android phone out there right now. I’d prefer that over the Droid because the Droid has an extra physical keyboard which I rarely use and because this phone is thinner.

Hans — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 20:51:10 +0000

Over the weekend a lot of information about the upcoming Google Phone, the Nexus One was discovered. Today Engadget has got some quality photos of the Nexus One and more details about it. Their photos revealed the following:

Nexus One can run on T-Mobile
Nexus One will have the Android 2.1 operating system
There is a QR code on the back of the Nexus One
There is no HTC logo on the Nexus One

Pictured above is a photo of the Nexus One running on Android 2.1. What’s different about this is that it has an animated wallpaper in the background, and if you look near the bottom you’ll see a screenshot of all the current open windows. Android 2.1 has a new way of managing multiple apps, similar to the way Palm uses cards in their webOS.
