Nexus One “Superphone” Unveiled By Google

nexus-one-1a

Google unveiled the long awaited Nexus One phone today They have dubbed it a “superphone” – which is a little cheesy for my tastes. The Nexus One is a sexy looking phone. Not as sexy as Daryl Hannah in Blade Runner, but it is only the Nexus One and not a Nexus 6.

Full details videos, and pics after the break:

Nexus One is initially available from the Google web store in the US:
* Without service for $529
* or starting at $179 with a two-year contract from T-Mobile USA.

In the near future, Google will sell the Nexus One for use on Verizon Wireless and Vodafone networks. Google is initially only taking orders from the US, the UK, Singapore, and Hong Kong. The Google Nexus One can be purchased at www.google.com/phone.
