Google Nexus One : An Impressive Phone

The Google Nexus One smartphone was released a few months ago and has become the darling of the market in the eyes of many, especially smartphone users. Google designed the Nexus One. It operates on the Android 2.1 system and the HTC Mobile Manufacturer handles the production. The Nexus One has already been branded the top Android phone available on the market to date by those who have experienced its abilities. The Google Nexus One bears some similarities to the iPhone. The Nexus One has no physical keyboard, like the iPhone, and the slim construction that results is actually slightly thinner than that of the iPhone. Featuring dimensions of 119mm x 59.8mm x 11.5mm, the sturdy phone is also rather light, weighing in at only 130 grams. The Google Nexus One comes with a 3.7 inch AMOLED touch screen; the display resolution being a nice 480 by 800 pixels. Below the screen are four touch buttons – the home, search, back and menu buttons. Additionally, it has a trackball device, a power button and voice controls. Within just a few hours you can expect to be totally at ease with the control system that it uses. The Nexus One operates with a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor on an Android 2.1 system. All of the standard connectivity features are found on the phone. Internet browsing is accomplished with a 3G HSDPA and HSUPA and WiFi though WLAN connections. Using a microUSB and Bluetooth, the phone transfers data to other devices either cabled or wirelessly. There are a number of applications available to the Nexus One, and the software features make the smartphone a delight to use. One application installed to the phone is Google Voice. The user’s Google Voice number can be assigned for sending text messages as well as making calls. The biggest benefit of this application is that Google Voice users are able to make calls from the phone totally free. Even without a physical keyboard, the Nexus One makes texting and data entry easier than ever. If a text field is found on the phone, it is also voice enabled. The Voice Keyboard, launched just last year, is an application that allows the user to activate the microphone button and convert their speech into text by speaking into the phone. All you have to do is talk, and your words are converted into text. Not only does it save you the time and tedium of typing on the phone, it has been rated at a 90% accuracy rate.
