TechCrunch just posted an extensive review on the Google Nexus One, the first mobile phone, and self-proclaimed “Super phone” from Google. They rave that the smartphone is not only the best Android device to date, but it also wins out over the iPhone in many ways as well. With a 3.7 inch 480 x 800 OLED touchscreen and a Snapdragon 1 GHz core processor, it is able to handle multiple applications, graphics, and heavy browser use without any hindrance to its fast performance. The only downside seems to be its brief battery life, which can be killed after 1.5 hours of game play on its brightest display settings. Some notable features include noise cancellation (including machinery and noise from the other end), a 5 megapixel camera with an LED flash, and two available docks – a normal charger and a car charger that turns on Google Navigation. The Nexus One will be available this month for $529 in the U.S., U.K., Hong Kong, and Singapore. You can get one through T-Mobile for $179 with a contract or use the unlocked phone with AT&T, although the radio can’t use the 3G network. If you can wait until Spring, a CMDA version of the phone will be available through Verizon, and through Vodafone in Europe.
