More details on the Google Phone Nexus One
No Multitouch included
Google's iPhone killer, the Nexus One is superfast, but unfortunately has no muktitouch capability. Tnkgrl Mobile got her hot little hands on the new gadget and reported some interesting details.
According to Tnkgrl, the Nexus One is thin and sexy looking but "there’s no multitouch support in the browser or in Google Maps". Also, the Nexus One is loaded with a 1400 mAh battery, a 4 GB micro-SD card, an OLED screen, a micro-USB connector and a 3.5mm headphone jack. US users will be happy to know that the phone 3G works on T-Mobile USA and is definitely unlocked. The phone is also noticeably faster than Motorla's Droid phone. Also, there’s no dedicated camera key, but it’s the same camera interface as the Droid. However, the camera flash is weak even if the low-light performance is decent.
As we reported earlier , the 'Google Phone' is not just another HTC phone with Google's Operating System Android, in fact the gadget is a proper Google-branded phone which the company is building right now and will sell it directly through retailers. The Google Phone will be an unlocked GSM phone. The gadget is powered by a Snapdragon chip and is loaded with a super high-resolution OLED touchscreen.
Now here is the interesting part - the Google Phone is thinner than the iPhone. It has no keyboard and two mics which are on the back of the phone to eliminate background noise. Also, it will feature a 'weirdly' large camera for a phone. And in case you dislike the touchscreen keyboard, you can simply write emails using by speaking into the phone using its voice-to-text feature.
The Nexus One is powered by the Android 2.1 operating system, and is supposed to be really, really, really, really fast. Here is a Twitter message from a Google Program Manager, who writes "Stuck in mass of traffic leaving work post last all hands of 2009. ZOMG we had fireworks and we all got the new Google phone. It’s beautiful." Another Googler Jason Howell tweeted "The new Google Phone runs on HTC hardware. I saw it w/ Android 2.1. Homescreen has new visual enhancements like animated desktop wallpaper."
