The google phone, rumored and most likely to be named the nexus one, is said to have a release date to the public in January of 2010. Images of the phone have been circulating the web with pictures popping up on all sorts of sites but most notably twitter. The phone is to be manufactured by htc and will be sold online by google. Its rumored the phone will be sold unlocked as google has not made any deal with cellular service providers. this mean buyers will have to set up their own accounts with different providers which is good and bad in some respects. It will allow users to keep existing contracts but it might also mean a higher price in the phone seeing as most cellular devices sold off contract are higher priced than those on contract. WSJ has been quoted "The entire user experience is designed by Google". This will hopefully mean that new and exclusive features will be on the phone that are not on other android powered phones. The device will launch with android 2.1 built in, and I'm sure quite frequent software updates in order to fix minor problems that may occur. Google employees worldwide have had the phone for quite some time in order for Google to fix any kinks before the public launch. The phone has received quite positive feedback from early testers with users describing the phone as an "iPhone on beautifying steroids". This could be the phone that finally rattles the iPhone title as one of the most desirable phones on the market and may even beat it in sales in the coming months. Having this said, the same was sated about the Motorola droid which also happened to run on android. This phone however, did not succeed in what it planned to do.
