Google Officially Introduces the Nexus One Phone [Video]

Google has officially unveiled the Nexus One Phone as well as a Google hosted web store for Android devices.

Manufactured by HTC, the Nexus One features dynamic noise suppression from Audience, Inc., a large 3.7" OLED display for deep contrast and brilliant colors and a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset for blazing speeds. Running on Android 2.1, the newest version of Eclair, the software includes innovations like a voice-enabled keyboard so you can speak into any text field, fun Live Wallpapers, a 3D photo gallery for richer media experiences and lots more. It also comes with a host of popular Google applications, including Gmail, Google Voice and Google Maps Navigation.

The Nexus One is the first in a series of products which Google will bring to market with their operator and hardware partners and sell through the online store.


Today, the web store allows you to purchase the Nexus One without operator service or with service from T-Mobile USA. It is priced at $529 as a standalone purchase or $179 on a two-year $79.99 plan agreement with T-Mobile. Google expects to add more operators, more devices and more countries in the future, including Verizon Wireless in the U.S. and Vodafone in Europe.

The Nexus One support page also features a video demo of Android 2.0 even though the device ships with 2.1. We will post a walkthrough of Android 2.1 as soon as one becomes available.
