With thousands of rumors of this Nexus phone,it finally was introduced by Google 10 hours ago,capable with the latest Android system,Android 2.3(as known as ‘Gingerbread’).

This time,the phone is made by Samsung.I think that’s why it is called as Nexus ‘S’,not Nexus Two. Open-mouthed smile

You can know it clearly via its official video clip.

Google has released the detailed spec of this leading phone.

It will be available in US and UK market in 2 weeks.The contract-free phone will cost you US$529,the same price as Nexus One previously.

Well,What I’m looking forward to is my Nexus One gets ‘Gingerbread’ as soon as possible,at least before Christmas.I think lots of Nexus One users are waiting for that big day and the update,for us,will perhaps be the best Christmas gift.

I believe Google Android system will be the trend of smart phones because it’s moving really fast and the engineers in the development team do know the needs of users,the most important thing is Android system is open source.That means it’s maximizing the flexibility of modifying the system in order to fit all kinds of experiences.

If you never have a smart phone,I think you could try Nexus S to know that a phone could be such powerful. Smile

Google Nexus one is unavailable to sell in its official website permanently as said by Google that it has achieved the initial aim.However,it will be sold at some authorized retail shops as well as partners in US,European countries and South Korea.On the other hand,it will be also treated as a developer phone and sold by Android develop team in some other ways.I just caught the announcement from Android developers blog about it:

Nexus One Developer Phone

from Android Developers Blog by Tim Bray

We’ve always offered unlocked phones for direct sale to registered Android Developers. As of today, the Developer Phone is the Nexus One, at a price of $529. To see the details or order a phone, you need to sign in to your Android developer account and click on the "Development Phones" link.

The Nexus One combines an up-to-the-minute platform (Android 2.2), modern hardware, and the pure Google Experience software suite. It’s a good choice both for people who want to build Android applications using either the SDK or the NDK, and those who want to experiment with modified versions of the Android platform. Note that the Nexus One still ships with Android 2.1 but will download 2.2 soon after you turn it on; make sure you’re near a fast network.

As well as being an outstanding developer platform, it’s a really nice everyday phone; we’re really happy to have connected the right dots to make this happen.

So if you are an Android developer,you still can use that provided method to get a new Google Nexus One which has advanced hardware and designs.If you’re not,you can find some way to get it too.Google Nexus One will never die. 微笑

If you are an Android phone user,I bet you know what I’m talking about.Since last month,Android 2.2(code name:Froyo) was introduced by Android team and in the past several weeks,some Nexus One users had reported they got some different patches of Froyo.

Some insiders of Google told that they were still doing the testing and bug-fixing and so only app developers and some press were given to try the new version first.However,today has a different story.In the early morning,I had got some information over the Internet that some builds for all Nexus One phones were found in the Google server and the direct links were exposed very quickly.I’m the one who downloaded and installed Froyo manually in my Nexus One by referring the instructions from the comments in Engadget.

One hour after I installed Froyo in my device,I caught an article from Google Nexus One board declared Froyo is starting to OTA to all Nexus One users from today.Most Nexus One users will receive the notification of upgrade by the end of this week.

So if you are so patient,you could wait for some more days to get the automatic upgrade;if you are just like me,you can download and install it manually to enjoy the power of Froyo first.

For Build number ERE27:http://android.clients.google.com/packages/passion/signed-passion-ota-42745.dc39ca1f.zip

For Build number EPE54B:http://android.clients.google.com/packages/passion/signed-passion-FRF85B-from-EPE54B.75b107d6.zip

Please follow the steps to get Froyo correctly running in your device:

1.Rename the downloaed file to update.zip
2.Put it at the root of your SD-Card and then turn off the phone.
3.Hold down the volume button and then press the power on button, it should go into a boot screen. Wait for a few seconds for it to load up proper and then select "Recovery" with the volume down/up button and press the power button.
4.Once you see an android holding a sign with an exclamation mark push volume down+ volume up + power button _at the same time_.
5.Select "apply sdcard:update.zip"(or something similiar) with the trackball and press it.
6.After the update is finished select "reboot system now" with the trackball and press it.
7.Wait for it to reboot, it can take a long time mind you.

(Thanks the reader afinite in Engadget for the detailed information.)
