The Nexus One is Here!

Throw out your ancient phone because the rumors were true! Google’s phone- The Nexus One- was revealed earlier today at the Android Press Event (like we predicted). A great review from TechCrunch gives specifics on how the phone works and why it is already living up to its anticipated reputation. Michael Arlington says this phone is “the fastest and most elegant smartphone on the market today.”

The Nexus One will carry a new version of Android that features 3D capabilities as well as Google Voice. Google Voice allows you to compose a text or email and find a contact just by speaking into the phone. This has to be the most unique feature of the Nexus One, setting it apart from all competitors. Another unique feature is the Live Wallpaper, which is just a moving background for your home screen. Separately, Google also gave a preview of a new 3D Google Earth application for the Android platform.

To buy the phone directly from Google and HTC it will cost you $529 and you can insert your own SIM card. If that option is too pricey, you can buy the phone with a two year T-Mobile contract for only $179. The phone will be available through Verizon and Vodafone this spring.

So far, the phone has received great reviews. For a quick overview of its main features, watch this video. If you have the opportunity to try out the Nexus One, let us know what you think!
