Here Comes Google Phone – Nexus One

3 Comments » Share

The long waited Nexus One is finally released and is pretty much up to the expectations. The California-based search giant entitled the phone launch at their headquarters on Tuesday a “Super Phone”. Erick Tseng, a Google engineer demonstrating one of the phones, said “it is a great marriage of form and function … It is really light”. Google employees received the handsets – about the thickness of a pencil and no heavier than a Swiss Army knife keychain – three weeks ago for a final round of internal testing.

According to a source familiar with the process, the Nexus One was designed by employees of One & Co., a San Francisco design firm acquired in 2008 by HTC. Andy Rubin, vice president of engineering for Android at Google and leader of the project, later told GigaOm that “there are no hardware or industrial designers on my team.” Leading up to Tuesday’s event, widespread reports claimed that Google had designed the Nexus One by itself, and while the company may have specified hardware requirements to go with its software, that’s not the same as designing the phone. CNET reported

Phone will be sold on the Google-hosted web store for $529 free from a contract with a mobile operator. You can check out the specifications of Nexus One and then decide whether to go for it or not!
