NexusOneThe Android Press conference is still going on, but they have already activated the web site to buy the new Nexus One phone. As expected, it is available both unlocked and at a reduced rate with T-Mobile service. The reduced cost is $179 and the unlocked version is $529.

It is an impressive piece of hardware. Quick highlight of specs:

  • 3.7-inch (diagonal) widescreen WVGA AMOLED touchscreen
  • 800 x 480 pixels
  • 100,000:1 typical contrast ratio
  • 1ms typical response rate
  • 5 megapixels
  • Autofocus from 6cm to infinity
  • 2X digital zoom
  • LED flash
  • Video captured at 720×480 pixels at 20 frames per second or higher, depending on lighting conditions

It is also interesting that they plan on offering more phones, and more providers from their web store. Here is a quick screen grab:

Interesting tidbit in the Q&A, a future upgrade of the Android OS will allow you to store applications in removable media. This will be a big (and welcome) change for Android.

And finally, kudos to the presenters NOT call it an “iPhone-Killer” but stressing that it is about choice.

  2. Japanese phones have been doing that for years, i still have a vodafone from japan (when they were located there prior to selling to softbank known in the 90’s as jphone). its meant for sign language mostly hence a niche market.
