Google Nexus One Arrives Today

This item was filled under [ General News ]

Here it is, kind readers. The Google Nexus One. In case you were wondering, its available now from Google in unlocked form and from T-Mobile with a SIM. The NO (as in No, iPhone, you are no longer alone) sports some rather ludicrous specifications. The first thing you notice is the enormous display. Its a 3.7″ AMOLED capacitive touchscreen device which pushes an 800×480 resolution, the same as Nokia’s N900, just larger. The unit is powered by a Qualcomm 1GHz CPU, it has 512MBs of Flash, 512MBs of RAM, and it comes with a 4GB microSD card and can take up to 32GB. They crammed a 5MP camera in there, and the battery is a capacious 1400mAh. It also sports B, G, and N wireless, has Bluetooth with support for A2DP, an AGPS receiver, a digital compass, and the now obligatory accelerometer and proximity sensor. They even stuck a second mic on the back for noise cancellation.

130 grams. $529 unlocked. $179 from T-Mobile with a 2-year. Wow.

UPDATE: There’s a section in the Terms of Sale which is interesting. Its called Maintaining Carrier Service. If you purchase a Nexus One with T-Mobile plan you’re still buying it from Google, but at a discounted rate. If you don’t maintain your service plan for at least 120 days, you owe Google the difference in cost for the unlocked version, about $350. They even state that its not a penalty, but an Equipment Recovery Fee.
