Nexus One: The iPhone killer?
Google is working on a new phone, and it’s called the Nexus One. No, Nexus One is not a code name, it’s the real name of the phone that you see in the picture above. You can see more pictures of this at Engadget. The Nexus One is a slim phone running Google’s Android 2.1 operating system. HTC is manufacturing the Nexus One. No price, specs, or other official dates have been confirmed. According to rumors, this phone will be unlocked and will sell for around $500. Reuter’s sources are saying that there will be two versions of the Nexus One: One will be sold through T-Mobile with a service contract and the other will be sold through Google unlocked. Reuter’s sources are also saying that the Nexus One will be released around January 5.
The one question many people are thinking about is, will this phone be the iPhone killer? It’s too early to judge this as the phone is not even out yet, and Google hasn’t even confirmed that they’ll be releasing it. As far as we know this could even be just a phone for developers. This phone is running Android, and from my experience with Android it was not as user friendly as the iPhone. The main reason why many people choose the iPhone is because of the ease of use it offers. Apple has done a perfect job developing a great software, the iPhone OS, and it’ll take a lot for other competitors to catch up.

Wow, it took you long enough to post something. Like a month! Just saying that I am not going to this site again (now that I know you are there). Also, no more “iPhone Killer”. Nothing will beat it, as the other 5 iPhone Killers will tell you!
@BioToho: Google’s operating system, Android is used by other manufacturers too. By naming their phone the Google phone they would be killing the other phones, and there is no way Google would do that.
Love this site! I am going to go to it everyday! One request, update the blog more
Thanks for your feedback george, we’ll definitely start updating this blog more! There are a lot of changes coming to this blog, but it will take some time. Right now there is just one person working on the site, me, and I’ve been sick because of the cold weather here in the US. I promise to update more often once I get well.
Devenatly NOT! iPhone will ever be the Best!
[...] will be releasing their Nexus One aka Google phone today. Will Nexus One be an iPhone killer? The answer is no. Engadget’s Joshua Topolsky managed to get his hands on a Nexus One [...]
Killed my iphone. It’s great! Superior sound quality, OS is nice, most of the apps i like on iphone are here, great screen, better camera, built-in flash (wake up iphone), better bluetooth. I’m looking forward to Google Voice as soon as I get my invite.
As a developer, I would not say it will be the iPhone killer but will cause headaches to Apple. The main pain points will be the ability to manipulate data and apps + flash applications that you will be able to run on the Android OS.
