Google phone Nexus One likely to launch on Jan 5th?
Tech websites all over the internet are abuzz with the News of the Google phone Nexus One making it's debut on Jan 5th. The much awaited phone has been much in the news and if all the news flying around is to be believed than we are going to see the new phone at a press conference on Jan 5.
Google has scheduled a press event for Tuesday, January 5 at its Mountain View, California, headquarters. Though the company hasn’t mentioned Nexus One, the invitation mentions Android, Google’s mobile operating system for phones, and the company is widely expected to show the device that has had smartphone industry watchers buzzing for weeks.
It’s a move straight out of the Apple playbook. In January, 2007, Apple famously upstaged CES when it unveiled the first iPhone at an event in San Francisco — even as most technology journalists and executives were huddled in Las Vegas for the trade show.
Below are some specs of the phone we found on GadgetVenue
The Nexus One will be a tri-band phone (900/1700/2100 MHz) UTMS and quad-band GSM which allows it to work on the T-Mobile network in the US. Features include a 3.7 inch WVGA AMOLED touchscreen that according to one person who had a look at the phone said it was the best looking screen they had seen.
The Nexus One will run Android 2.1 and be capable of transferring data at 7.2Mbps where networks support this. The processor inside the phone will be a Qualcomm Snapdragon running at a snappy 1GHz. The phone will have four illuminated soft keys primarily for Back, Menu, Home and Search. A tri-colour LED will be used in the device for notifications and charge status. Haptic feedback is to be included in the phone. Other features are the fairly standard A-GPS, Accelerometer, Light sensor and a proximity sensor along with a compass, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3.5mm headphone jack and active noise cancellation. The camera is 5 megapixels and will be capable of using the A-GPS for geotagging shots. An LED flash can be used for lighting close subjects and the phone will have 2x digital zoom. For memory the phone will have 512MB RAM and 512MB of flash memory and will include a 4GB MicroSD card with 32GB cards being supported.
The Google Nexus One phone now has got its full specifications unveiled. TheNexus one phone is also said to be launched by T-mobile in the US but by invitation only (Sounds pretty much like what Google has done for GMail or Google Wave before).
Lets take a closer look at the phone. The Nexus One phone features tri-band (900/1700/2100 MHz) UMTS and quad-band GSM, which is compatible with T-Mobile network but does not work on AT&T’s 3G frequencies. The specs at a glance of the Nexus One are as follows:
* 3.7 inch WVGA AMOLED touchscreen display
* Android 2.1
* HSDPA 7.2Mbps, HSUPA 2Mbps
* Qualcomm Snapdragon (QSD 8250) processor at 1GHz
* 4 illuminated softkeys (Back, Menu, Home, Search)
* Tri-color charging and notification LED
* Haptic feedback
* Accelerometer
* Light sensor
* Proximity sensor
* A-GPS
* Digital compass
* Wi-Fi
* 3.5mm headset jack
* Active noise cancellation
* 5MP camera with autofocus, LED flash, geotagging and 2x digital zoom
* Stereo Bluetooth 2.1 (A2DP, EDR)
* 512MB Flash memory
* 512MB RAM
* 4GB MicroSD card included (supports cards up to 32GB)
* MicroUSB
* Height: 119 mm
* Width: 59.8 mm
* Depth: 11.5 mm
* Weight: 130 grams (1400 mAh battery included)
* Teflon-coated back cover
According to Engadget, the launch date of Nexus One is on January 5, 2010. It’ll be first offered by invitation and likely to be sold by T-Mobile next year for a price that is currently unknown.
We know you're itching to get your hands on a Nexus One -- Google's managed to build buzz here the way only a couple companies in the world know how. Unfortunately, it sounds like you're going to need to cross your fingers (or pull out that eBay emergency stash) to get one out of the gate, because we've got some intel here suggesting that it'll be available only by "invitation" at first. Our tipster doesn't have information on how those invites are going to be determined, other than the fact that it's Google doing the inviting -- if we had to guess, current registered developers are a strong possibility -- but the good news, we suppose, is that T-Mobile will apparently sell the phone directly at some to-be-determined point in the future. Oh, but that's not all -- we've got specs, too. Lots of them. Here are the highlights, but follow the break for the whole shebang:

- 5 megapixel camera with mechanical AF and LED flash
HSPA 900 / 1700 / 2100, 7.2Mbps down and 2Mbps up -- in other words, yes to T-Mobile 3G and no to AT&T 3G, though you'll still be fine on EDGE- 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED display
