Google was the talk of the mobile technology industry today. If you Google, Google today you will be flooded with stories on the Nexus One. Google released the much anticipated Nexus One; which is a Google designed Android based smartphone.

Google could not have picked a better week to release its new venture into the smartphone market. The start of a new year and the International Consumer Electronics Show being hosted in Las Vegas amount to a perfect time to roll out the Nexus One.

If you are looking for an Android based device be sure to give the Nexus One a good look. The phone is currently available only on T-Mobile for $179 with a two year contract. The phone is also available from Google directly for $529 which is without contract and is carrier unlocked allowing you to use it on any GSM based network. (T-Mobile, AT&T, Rogers,  Vodafone, etc) Be warned the Nexus One does NOT support the 3G frequencies on AT&T and Rogers so you will only be able to access the slower EDGE network.
