It was only a matter of time. It’s amazing how powerful the internet is. We went from only rumors of this phone yesterday, to knowing many details, a name, and now have pictures of it in the wild today. Who knows what we will know by tomorrow.
But anyway, onto the news at hand. A pictures has been tweeted of the new Nexus One in the act of, what i believe to be, booting up. The pictures are courtesy of San Francisco blogger, Cory O’Brien.
Now, this picture of the Nexus One looks exactly like pictures of the HTC Bravo/Passion except one detail. The HTC branding is absent on this phone. So who knows exactly what is going on here. But Cory later described this phone as “Google Phone = iPhone + a little extra screen and a scroll wheel. Great touch screen, and Android.”
With Google stepping it up everywhere lately, and already having a growing developer fan-base in Chrome and soon-to-be in Wave, could the Nexus One be the iPhone killer? If not the killer, it is definitely going to be its biggest rival. The iPhone has basically been riding on its own success, with very few major upgrades. It took three generations of iPhone to allow it to take video. So if the Nexus One is a big success, Apple is going to have to step up the growth rate of the iPhone, which would be good for all of you iPhone fanatics out there.
Updated: Another Picture has surfaced of the Nexus’s interface it looks to me.

The Google Phone that has surfaced on technology sites across the web, including our own, has been given a name. The name is confirmed to be the Nexus One, which makes me hope that this isn’t a one time deal.
Some of the Google related details include:
- Google designed the whole thing
- Google will sell the phone online
- It will be sold unlocked
There has been no price details, nor any more specific specs than it will run Android 2.1 at first, has a touch screen, has a trackball, no physical keyboard, an animated desktop wallpaper, and will be produced by HTC.
This also means that this phone is separate from the HTC Bravo/Passion which is what the Google Phone was first speculated to be though it will resemble it. But oh well, this just means more phones for us. Plus, we will be able to use this phone with any phone service so us people who don’t have AT&T, which seems to always get the “cool” phones, will be in luck.
