Rarely do phones live up to hype, and this is one of the most overhyped Android phones ever. But it seems, this may really be an ‘iPhone killer’ of a smart phone. Google Nexus One, sold directly by the internet company and on T-Mobile, has a great big 3.7″ AMOLED touch-screen, a standard 5 megapixel camera and an easy-to-use trackball for added navigation. Bar the beautiful curved, thin (11.5m!) minimal design what captures the attention most about the Nexus One is its super-fast 1Ghz CPU processor. Everything is amazingly quick and easy with the Nexus One, even the internet which is 7.2Mbps HSPDA. The Nexus One is most often compared to the Motorola Droid, but the Nexus One sets it own president as an all-round smart phone with few flaws that (without wanting to overhype) could be the next-generation of ‘super’ smart phone.
