If you do not really mind having to order anything online, then you might have already ordered, shipped and gotten a Google Nexus One smart phone.

On the other hand, most people are not too keen on getting the alleged iPhone killer (well, it failed to live up to the hype so it isn’t) are already planning to put their money aside for the launch of the HTC Desire which is apparently the smart phone which the Nexus was based from (HTC manufactured the Nexus One for Google). Since the two devices are quite similar in terms of specifications, it really makes the decision to settle so much easier.

The Desire and the Nexus One are both using 1GHz Snapdragon CPUs and 5 mega pixel cameras. The screens on both devices are 3.7 inch AMOLED capacitive touch screen displays with multi touch capabilities.

Anyway, even if Vodafone is offering the device to their customers, the closest they will get you to a Nexus One is by redirecting you online to Google’s store. They will however, provide you with a SIM card for your chosen plan.

Aside from the Nexus One, Vodafone is pretty much up to the brim with big name devices from high end manufacturers. The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10, HTC Desire and HTC Legend are also coming early in April while the Apple iPad is expected to arrive by late April.

In other Vodafone related news, it turns out that the operator has recently undergone a cost cutting process which saw the closure of 6 stores and the removal of 375 employees due to redundancies. Despite this sad news, the operator is still pushing through with its busiest launches for the year.

Windows Phone 7 may have stolen the show at the Mobile World Congress, but that still leaves plenty of other impressive devices that deserve time in the spotlight. No amount of media exposure has been missing for the devices listed below, but for a quick second look at some impressive Android smart phones, try the following:

It comes as to no surprise that our lineup of Android smart phones starts out with the HTC Desire. The device was originally considered for a basis for the Nexus One and carried the name Bravo. Sunday saw a new name and a slight new look for the device. The phone continues to carry a 3.7 inch AMOLED touch screen, a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and a 5 mega pixel camera with the ability to record videos on 720p D1. Leaked pages from Amazon Germany state that the phone is only 419 Euros.

Another Android smart phone from HTC is the Legend. This device is expected to be the successor to the HTC Hero. The phone will have a 3.2 inch AMOLED touch screen, a 5 mega pixel camera and a Qualcomm 600 MHz processor. The device has been confirmed for Netherlands through the KPN site.

Sony Ericsson has its own Android phones as well. The XPERIA X10 is one of the high end smart phones coming out soon with its 1GHz Snapdragon CPU and 4 inch touch screen. The device will have two follow up phones, the X10 Mini and the X10 Mini Pro. As one might guess from the names, the X10 Mini is a bit sized version of the X10 and the Pro is a second version of the X10 Mini but comes with a physical keyboard.

Everyone will want to own a Google Nexus One with its extensive features and capabilities provided on the mobile phone.  The phone will have Live Wallpaper that sets the background in your screen.  The interesting part is where the Live Wallpaper makes the background looks as if it was alive with fluid and graphical motion.  The water wallpaper will ripple if you touch the screen.  This is a milestone in the creation of Smartphones and the Google Nexus One is unparalleled for this feature.  In the charger dock, the clock app will run and show the time, weather, and accordingly to the location of the local area.  The clock on the phone diminishes the need to keep an alarm clock as you keep your phone on the charger next to you on your bed.

The settings feature will have a backup overhaul that will keep your profile, ringtones, and other various applications updated.  The noise-cancellation feature should be noted as the microphone concentrates on the voice command rather than the extraneous noises that hinder the ability of the phone to follow user voice commands.  Wind noise and machinery noise will be miniscule, and they are usually the noises that get in the way of call quality and background noises. The phone offers no alternative to the users who like to cradle the phone between their shoulder and neck.  Users who do this will find that the microphone located on the bottom of the phone on the left will be muted on occasions such as this.  Hopefully, Google will create better usability for people who operate a phone without hands in the future.

A car charger via the Nexus One will activate the navigation features that will help you find your way on the road.  The regular charger will make the phone activate the clock feature that will substantially replace alarm clocks.  The phone’s ability to connect to your car and activate the navigation feature makes the Google Nexus One remain the most flawless mobile phone on the market today.

The biggest problem with the phone is the high cost associated with the early termination fees.  If you are planning to buy the phone, be prepared to follow through with the associated fees that are referenced to the plans.  Another problem according to the consumer complaints is the touch screen, which is a pretty vague concept and is undetermined.  Like any phone, there is bound to be complications with some of them, so the downfall is not necessarily unpredicted.  Google will most likely attempt to fix the errors that are concentrated in consumer complaints and be rectified according to the analysis of consumer complaints.  They should focus on the areas that are most complained about.

Even though, the phone is most anticipated, they will have to do something about the fees associated with unlocked and locked phones.  The unlocked version will be available for around €600.  With the T-Mobile plan, the retail is around €250 with a 2-year contract plan.  From this, it is pretty obvious why the complaints are existent when consumers try to weasel their way out of a plan and getting the phone for €200.

The “Super Phone” (Google’s words) has finally arrived or at least has been unveiled. The world finally got a glimpse of the Google Nexus One and by most accounts, it liked what is saw! Prior to this unveiling, there had been a lot of space dedicated to the phone on blogs based all over the world. Some of them included “insider reports” others were pure speculation while still others simply gave it a mention. Now that the phone has been unveiled, people have a lot more to talk about.

Google held a press event on January 5th, 2009 at their headquarters in Mountain View, California. It was an invitation-only press event. However, one night prior to the company’s announcement, several well reputed blogs did release reviews on the phone, including pictures. These were in-depth, factual reviews which matched up with what was released a day later by Google.

Individuals who appreciate Android technology are especially excited about the phone’s release. Almost everyone, Google included, feels like the Nexus One is helping to take Androids to the next level.

The Nexus One looks very similar to the iPhone. It has a number of features which very closely resemble the iPhone as well. This makes sense, considering this is their biggest competition. By and large, people loved the iPhone, so why depart from a proven model? The Nexus One is slim like the iPhone and has a similar shape. It contains a nice sized touchscreen at 3.7 inches, a 5 megapixel camera, GPS, voice recognition and a decent amount of memory.

Google has priced the Nexus pretty high. It is by no means an inexpensive phone. It costs $529 (£331) if purchased directly from Google. Individuals that buy the phone through T-Mobile and who are willing to sign a two year contract with the company qualify for a significant price break. The price falls to $179 (£112).

Everyone knows that Google are a reputable company, and provide great service for free to the public. They produce many great applications including Google Maps, Google Trends, Google Pictures and the classic Google search. All these applications are available directly from the phones desktop, which can be accessed by using the phones touch screen. The phone comes complete with a 5.0megapixel camera. This allows you to take professional looking shots, whilst keeping the whole mechanism in the compact and sleek design of the phone. Once the photos have been taken, you can either transfer them to your computer for editing or sending, or can be uploaded to various websites from the phone itself, providing the site has the capabilities to do so.

Weighing only 133g, the Nexus One can be used effortlessly by you to make calls. The high definition screen allows you to watch movies and TV on the go, so you can keep yourself occupied on long journeys or other times you need to pass the time. When making a telephone call, the built in noise reduction technology will help you to have cleaner and less interrupted conversations. Using compression technology, the system filters out sounds which are in the higher frequencies that do not apply to the phone call, in particular line interference and background noise. The Nexus One is available on Vodafone in the United Kingdom, and T Mobile in the United states. Google have said that the phone is a “a point of convergence where the web meets phone and is an example of what is possible on mobile through Android.”.
