Google Nexus One
Posted by: Keech on 5th Jan 2010 in Creative Report


Google is about to unveil a new phone; the Nexus One. This is more than significant as it will surely go head to head with our beloved iPhone. Carrying the obligatory 300 quid plus price tag, it apparently rides on Google's own Android mobile phone software first launched in 2007.

The rumour is that the screen width is bigger that that of the iPhone and that it sports a 5 MP camera, which of course it would have to to get a look in. According to Design Week;

"Examples of the phone – which was not meant to be unveiled until 6pm this evening – are thought to have been leaked after some Google employees were given the handsets as Christmas gifts by the company."

Sounds a bit far-fetched but you never know:
"Merry Christmas Google staff. Here's a free sample of the biggest thing to hit the mobile phone industry since the iPhone but don't show it to anyone and try not to lose it"

Hmmm. But it could have been an intentional "teaser" marketing trick...
