Google launches Nexus One phone

January 6, 2010 · Filed Under News by Purnima·

As per the speculations, internet search giant, Google Inc, revealed its very own smart phone on Wednesday. With this, the internet giant is aiming to boost its position in the emerging mobile Internet market by exerting greater control over the new generation of Web-surfing devices.

This smartphone, dubbed as Nexus One, will be sold directly to consumers.

The sleek touchscreen phone is Google’s boldest venture outside its traditional Internet business. This will also be the first time that an 11-year-old company will sell a consumer electronics device bearing its well-known brand.

However, despite a positive response to Google’s new phone, analysts say the phone is not as revolutionary in design as Apple Inc’s iPhone was at its time. Despite various favorable reviews from across the globe, experts also noted that the phone doesn’t have any major revolutionary features different from others in the market that run Google’s Android software.

The Nexus One ships immediately and exclusively from Google’s online store for $179 with a two-year contract from Deutsche Telekom’s T-Mobile USA, or $529 without a service plan.
