Google Announces The Nexus One
Well the world hasn’t been altered, the industry isn’t shaken, the carriers are not trembling in their cozy offices, but we have a bad ass Android phone! SO looks like all the leaked information was correct about the Nexus One. The only big surprise was that it will be available for Verizon customers in Spring 2010. So fire up that Droid a few more times and get it ready for eBay, because this IS the Android phone to have. My only reservation is that it does not come with HTC’s Sense UI, but I am sure there will be a similar device from them with that software.
