Google will be bringing some sort of automatic Android backup service to the Nexus One like desktop docking station, Google mentions that the dock can be used to “charge the phone while streaming music and backing up your data.” That last bit there is today’s fuel for the rumor mill. Google is getting ready to roll out a native Android backup service that possibly involves a desktop client.

Google already stores a lot of backup-able data in their cloud (Gmail, Google Contacts, Google Calendar, etc.), so the thinking is that a dock-based backup service would be more comprehensive. The iPhone, for example, backs up SMS text messages, apps, music and videos through iTunes. It wouldn’t be all that surprising to see Google offering a similar option for the Nexus One.

The less exciting possibility is that Google is referring to backup apps available on the Android Market. But, those apps don’t necessarily require that an Android phone be plugged into a computer or docking station.

We’ll have to wait for Google to release more information be we know more. The Nexus One’s rumored launch is slated for Jan. 5th, so expect more info on or before that date.

Motorola XT800 like the Droid, the XT800 also features a 3.7-inch touch screen, 5-megapixel digital camera, and high-definition (720P) video recorder. The Moto XT800 is powered by TI Cortex A8 processor, the faster mobile processor from Texas Instrument.

Motorola XT800 Android Phone has pretty good looking device and the specs:

* Android 2.0
* 854 x 480 resolution
* 5MP camera
* Both GSM and CDMA support
* GPS
* Bluetooth 2.1+ EDR
* 3.5mm headset jack

Projector Phone From Logic Wireless called the Bolt V 1.5 (model 150LGW). The handset boasts a built-in projector that is able to produce images up to 64-inches with a native resolution of 640 x 480 pixels.

Seidio isn’t being secretive or shy about their involvement with “the ultimate Android Phone” the Nexus One.

In fact, they’re out-and-out advertising that they’re currently manufacturing accessories for the phone! Visit their website at SeidioOnline.com and you’ll see this:

Google nexus one phone and confirmed their support of internal T-mobile system

leaked screen shot is says:

Google,with the support of T-mobile, is scheduled to launch a new Android device in early January. The Google Android phone will be sold solely by Google via the web.

• Support for this device including troubleshooting and exchanges will be made managed by Google and htc.
• T-mobile will offer service support including billing, coverage, features and rate plans

Additional details and StreamLine content regarding the launch of Google’s Android phone will be coming in early January

So now we know that this phone “will be sold solely by Google via the web”. T-Mobile will only support “billing, coverage, features and rate plans” of the phone. All troubleshooting and exchanges will be managed by Google and HTC and the expected launch of the device is “early January”.

We still don’t have any confirmation of the pricing but various sources of TmoNews are confirming a “January 5th date, 9am , ordering through Google ONLY”. We’ll update you with any news we have so keep an eye out! We’re all waiting on some more leaks and info which hopefully will not be too long!

Nexus One will be $530 unlocked through Google or $180 on contract through T-Mobile.

Apparently there is a limit of 5 Nexus One Phones per Google Account – time to start creating Google Accounts in massive amounts and getting your EBay seller profiles ready! I kid, I kid… also interesting that in the “terms” Google makes you acknowledge that the manufacturer of the phone is HTC and NOT Google. Maybe they’re leaving that “Google Phone” door open since this will be called the Nexus One on launch.

according to Engadget Mobile Nexus One will release on January 5th, apparently. Although, as many other people have predicted, it’s not going on general release on that date. Nope, it’s going on sale ‘by invitation only’. You have to get a proper, official invite from Google themselves, to buy one.

So, yes. I still say dev-phone. I also say all the people who are driving mental shouting “Googlephone, Googlephone, I tells ya” need to calm down a bit. Oh, and before I forget, these are the main specs:

- Android 2.1
- 11.5mm thick
- 512MB RAM, 512MB ROM, 4GB microSD in-box expandable to 32GB
- 5 megapixel camera with mechanical AF and LED flash
- HSPA 900 / 1700 / 2100, 7.2Mbps down and 2Mbps up
- 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED display

Google Nexus One (N1) comes with a tri-band phone (900/1700/2100 MHz) UTMS and quad-band GSM which allows it to work on the T-Mobile network in the US. Features include a 3.7 inch WVGA AMOLED touchscreen that according to one person who had a look at the phone said it was the best looking screen they had seen.

The Nexus One will run Android 2.1 and be capable of transferring data at 7.2Mbps where networks support this. The processor inside the phone will be a Qualcomm Snapdragon running at a snappy 1GHz. The phone will have four illuminated soft keys primarily for Back, Menu, Home and Search. A tri-colour LED will be used in the device for notifications and charge status.

Haptic feedback is to be included in the phone. Other features are the fairly standard A-GPS, Accelerometer, Light sensor and a proximity sensor along with a compass, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3.5mm headphone jack and active noise cancellation. The camera is 5 megapixels and will be capable of using the A-GPS for geotagging shots. An LED flash can be used for lighting close subjects and the phone will have 2x digital zoom. For memory the phone will have 512MB RAM and 512MB of flash memory and will include a 4GB MicroSD card with 32GB cards being supported.

It looks set to be a very interesting phone. It will be interesting to see what pricing plans it will be made available on and how much it will cost. A rumoured date early in January 2010 has been touted for the launch date. We’ll find out officially soon if this is the case.

T-Mobile G1 could be getting an OTA (over the air) update very soon taking Android on your phone to version 2.0 or perhaps even 2.0.1.

The Android Eclair update brings a number of feature to Android phones. What we do hope for is T-Mobile launching Android 2.1 which we have recently seen on the Nexus One.

One thing to remember though is that these are still just rumours and might or might not be true.

With that in mind, we’ll update the post when rumours are confirmed either way.

BlackBerry Curve 8530 owners out there not happy with their current OS can now head on to the Sprint BlackBerry download page and grab the latest official OS. 5.0.0.395 is what is up for grabs over there which is a few notchs above the release OS and still ahead of Verizons official which is still at 5.0.0.337.

According to the leaked source, the GooglePhone (Nexus One) will runs on Android 2.1 operating system, and it has a gigantic 3.7-inch AMOLED touch screen, rivaling HTC Bravo. The GooglePhone also has a 5-megapixel digital camera with LED Flash. Please stay tuned for more updates.

Google’s “shock factor” with the Nexus One isn’t with the phone itself or applications on the phone… but with how your phone can interact with other pieces of hardware with the new Bluetooth APIs now found in Android 2.0. We haven’t seen these exploited (in a good way) thus far and they are relatively new, but that doesn’t mean Google hasn’t been working on them for quite awhile now.

We’re only a couple weeks from when some of the rumors say the Nexus One will be made available. Even if its by invite only, we’ll be hearing/seeing SOMETHING pretty soon, one would think. I hope your New Years Resolution isn’t to save money by buying less gadgets cause might break that rather quickly.

Google Phone AKA Nexus One(N1) is built by HTC and being a Motorola DROID killer in all ways. The phone has no physical keyboard making it very thin. It’s fast and managed to beat both the DROID and iPhone in web page load speeds consistently.

The screen on the Nexus One (N1) measures the same as the DROID but has been described as looking amazing. The blacks are blacker and the colours are more vibrant making the whole visual experience far better.

The Nexus One currently runs Android 2.1 and overall it runs faster than the DROID. There are no official numbers on the CPU at the moment but Giz believe it to be a 1GHz processor inside providing a more snappy user experience.

Overall it looks set to be an incredible phone. Lets home for some official information soon to clarify the hardware specs and what ever else is not known at the moment.
