The HTC Nexus One and all we know about it
Share:
This article contains unofficial information.
The word has it the HTC Nexus One is quite thin and sports 3.7-inch, capacitive display that utilizes AMOLED technology and comes with extremely high native resolution, but lacks multitouch support. The device will be probably equipped with 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, controlled via trackball and not a camera shutter. We also know the handset will feature microSD slot, microUSB port and 3.5mm jack and they are more than welcome.
Leaked images also reveal the HTC Nexus One will probably run Android 2.1 with a home screen that consists of 5 separate pages, but without any OS personalization. Supposedly, the CPU lurking under the hood is the powerful 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, but the amount of installed RAM and ROM remains shrouded in mystery. The Android-based handset will support HSDPA and HSUPA, meaning its owners will be able to rely on fast internet connectivity even with no Wi-Fi networks in the vicinity. The Nexus One will be a fully functional navigation device thanks to a built-in A-GPS module.
So, what about its release date and the carriers it is to roll out through? Google has already filed the necessary paperwork to register the trademark Nexus One and the fact implies the company does intend to sell the device. The rumor has it the internet giant plans to offer the HTC Nexus One without intermediary carriers and at a non-subsidized price via its own online store, but we´ve recently heard the speculation is actually inaccurate and the handset is to roll out through T-Mobile USA at a price of $199 on a two-year contract... and on January 5, 2010. If the latter turns out to be wrong, the Nexus One might end up being just another ultra-cool device, destined to collect dust on store shelves due to an overwhelming price tag – something that never fails to put off customers. We hope you found the current article informative and fingers crossed that we get to see official details on the HTC Nexus One soon.

if it doesnt have that snapdragon processor, then it honestly has nothing new aside from the nice screen. lets hope this isnt a bust!

Why would there be "OS personalization" when Google is the one who created the OS?? I'm so sick of hearing personalization right out of the box and any smartphones coming out without one will fail. When buying smartphone, buy for the hardware and not the software (other than that native OS...in most occasions). You can always tweak the phone to your own liking with softwares. For example, you can not make your QVGA screen to a WVGA screen.

I am so hoping that this is the HTC Incredible for Verizon, too. My xv6900's D-Pad is messed up (water damage, my fault) and I want to hold off for this phone. I would take this over the Droid because of the processor speed, and the fact that I like HTC products.

It doesn't lack Multi-touch support, it has it and the hardware is more than capable of it. Its just that the programs need to have the code written in it to support it. Get on it developers!

There will be multi-touch in GSM regions like Europe, it's been the case with the Droid/Milestone. I don't know what the problem with it is in the States - do Apple have a patent on multi-touch or something?

there is nothing wrong in the states. in fact, there is a browser in the app store of the moto droid that does implement the multi touch. also, the droid eris has multi touch in the browser, although that may just be due to the fact that it doesnt run android 2.0. also, it only lacks multi touch in the browser (moto droid)

Man...I am really hoping VZW comes out with something "Incredible" around the mid-January timeframe. I don't like the fact that T-Mo is gettng this phone...maybe...and the HD2...confirmed. What the hell does T-Mo have that Verizon doesn't ?

i think its great that it has a faster processor than the droid, and its gorgeous in all aspects... but honestly, my droid is very fast no matter how you put it. i really think this is just another android phone. :(

tmob is trying to pull out of 4th place... verizon seems complacent with where they are at in the rankings. and obviously dont care about yall :) like tmob does us :D its like a big family! @marcmaiden yea if the phone doesnt have the 1ghz processor then noone will want this phone other than the screen. which to me isnt enough to buy it.

I just want to know when it's due for release in the UK. I can upgrade on Jan 6, and at the moment I'm going for either an HTC Hero or a BlackBerry Bold 9700. If this is released in the UK on Jan 5 as well, then I'll be extremely happy.
