Google Phone (Nexus One) – Coming Soon
Posted by free iPhone on Tuesday Dec 15, 2009 Under free, iphone
It is now official that there will be a Google Phone coming soon. Not just a rebranded HTC, this is the real deal; a 100% Google branded, sold and supported phone – and it’ll be called the Nexus One.
How this will affect the iPhone’s supremacy will be seen over the next 18 months or so – Google has a long way to go to match the runaway success of the iPhone. But they do have a track record of doing things well, as we all know from their success taking over the internet search sytem, web based email, and now their delve into social networking with Wave.
It is fully expected that the Google phone will incorporate all of these features at some stage, and much more
The phone will come loaded with at least a Google Navigation tool, and the new Google Googles.
How much?
The biggest question on my mind at the moment is how much the Nexus One will cost. To be successful as the newest and greatest smartphone on the market Google are going to have to do something a bit special. an they rely on some clever feature to make us buy their phone over an iPhone, or even a Blackberry with its new app store feature.
The only reason I would buy a Google Phone would be if it could match the iPhone in terms of features and applications AND be cheaper. Much in the same way as I haven’t binned Firefox for Google Chrome, I won’t be ditching my iPhone in favour of the Google phone unless it can offer me something much more financially.
Will there be a Free Google Phone plan? I hope so, and think that may be the only way for Google to make their mark on the World of smartphones in a real way. The Android is dead, but the Google phone could well be king.

You have to submit it through the android market and hope it gets approved. Wireless carriers hate apps for several reasons and usually install measures to prevent you from writing them. Mods and apps can sometimes also void the warranty.

Just a few years more and google will turn to opening some restaurants too…
A part from joke Nexus can really prove to be a tough competitor to the iPhone.

I can’t help thinking that with all the new areas Google is moving into, they will find themselves in a situation where they become the company everybody loves to hate.
