Google Releases Nexus One Smartphone

The Nexus One is an important milestone in the smartphone market. Google, a software company frustrated with making compromises with hardware manufacturers, has developed their own device for their Android operating system. This phone is Google's vision of the perfect Android device. It has a large and beautiful screen, fast processor, and software elegance of Google Navigation, Live Wallpaper, and a Voice Keyboard. Combine all of this with the Google Voice service, and you've got quite a device on your hands. The phone can be purchased with a T-Mobile 2-year contract (other carriers coming soon), or you can purchase the phone directly from Google to be used on any carrier.
