That’s right, as expected Google’s big announcement [so far] is the next phone in the Android family, The Nexus One. Pictures and reviews have been floating around the web for a couple weeks now so this announcement is no surprise.

You can buy the phone today directly from Google at http://www.google.com/phone. Currently the phone will work with T-Mobile in the US, but they are expecting to add more carriers in the future, two of which are Verizon (Spring 2010) and Vodafone. The phone will cost $530 unlocked and $180 on T-Mobile with a contract. Now my issue is if the 3G doesn’t work on AT&T’s network in the US, why would you buy it unlocked right now? I guess if you travel the world a lot and use prepaid sims, but I don’t get it… maybe I’m missing something.
