The Nexus One, Google phone unveiled

Here the evidence. The Nexus One which runs on Android 2.1 will be sold online by Google (although other retailers will be flogging it, including Best Buy) and will come unlocked. This mean that you can choose your own network provider.

The gallery is from Engadget, who also captured a sweet shot of the smart phone’s backside revealing that beneath the ripped-off Post-It fragment is a QR code, since the Nexus One will be running Google Goggles, an app that takes photos and then generates search results once it’s worked out what the image is of. To install a photocopier for its Christmas party, it’s no need for the Mountain View campus then, as using this phone to take rude pictures will be a million times more interesting.

The Nexus One’s OS boasts 3D-style elements to its app tray, and there’s a grid icon that previews all your homescreen pages. There are four touch-sensitive buttons below the screen, and a volume control on the side of the device. So, let’s pose the same question that we ask whenever an innovative new smartphone rears its pretty little head: is this going to be the phone that lands a blow on Apple? We’ll find out next year.
