Just released this past weekend is the Google Nexus One by HTC. The Nexus One is the first cell phone to truly challenge the iPhone's supremacy. True, the BlackBerry Storm (and now Storm2) claimed to make that charge but the Storm is still a BlackBerry and never will the BlackBerry and iPhone user ever truly meet.
This is not the case with the Droid software on the new Google cell phone called Nexus One from HTC. The wireless service for the Nexus One is being exclusively provided right now for T-Mobile. Google actually offers an unlocked version of the phone that can run on any GSM network with a sim chip but the unlocked wireless phones or cell phones are a lot more expensive. The cost for an unlocked Google Nexus One phone is right around $500. The Nexus One operates on the Android 2.0 platform which is significantly more efficient than the previous Android 1.6 phones on the market. It is also more social network friendly (you can truly annoy all your Facebook friends from ANYWHERE!).
One of the first things you notice about the Nexus One is its screen, which is truly better than that sported by the iPhone. It possesses a 3.7 inch capacitive screen with striking 480-854-pixel resolution. Also, unlike the iPhone 3GS you also have a full size finger friendly QWERTY keyboard. This makes the mobile experience all that much more powerful. It is almost like having a fully functioning PC in your pocket except that it is a lot cooler and only weighs a few ounces.
The camera is also a nice feature. At 5.0 megapixels it rivals all phone based cameras on the market. It also comes with an auto focus and an LED flash feature. As expected the Nexus One also has a suite of photo editing software so that you can manipulate pictures right there on the device and upload them to social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace.
More importantly if you are a T-mobile wireless customer you have a choice of another smart phone in the T-Mobile collection. The Storm 2 is great but it does not have the multimedia functionality and crisp streaming capabilities of the Android which runs on the Google Nexus One. If you have your mind set on the iPhone then you are going to have to sign up with AT&T which means you are going to be sacrificing both coverage and network speed.
Unlike AT&T, T-mobile network can actually deliver on the HTC Droid's capabilities for the Google Nexus One wireless phone with live streaming video and TV which is seamless on the Droid software.
Without a doubt the future of T-Mobile Wireless lies in the hands of the Nexus One. Both T-Mobile and Google promise an app library that will rival the iPhone which is still the iPhone's strongest feature at the moment. With WiFi, Bluetooth and every other connectivity mode you could possibly want the Nexus One delivers across the board. If you can stomach a change from AT&T's unreliable phone service get a Nexus One by Google and ditch the iPhone. You simply will not be sorry.
