nexus

Google launched Nexus One on January 5. Google will initially ship Nexus to US, UK, Singapore and Hong Kong. However, it’s expected that Google will ship the phone to other countries later this year.

People in these 4 countries can have the phone ordered by courier with around $30 shipping charges. Note that Nexus One is a GSM phone, and so, obviously in the US, it won’t support Verizon Wireless’ CDMA service nor AT & T’s 3G network; however HTC is expected to release Verizon compatible version later this year.

Currently, an unlocked Nexus One is available for nearly $530 with added cost of a country-specific AC adapter and shipping charges. The subsidized version of the phone is available only in US under a 2-year T-Mobile contract, priced at $180 (plus some additional). Outside US, customers still have to go for a full $530 unlocked Nexus One. The wait for European customers however, ends in spring, when the subsidized Nexus One would hit Vodafone Europe.

The Nexus One uses Android open source mobile operating system.
