Word has come in that Google will be rolling out Android Gingerbread 2.3.3 updates over the air to Nexus One and Nexus S handsets. This won’t really be major news for Nexus S owners, since the 2.3.3 iteration of Gingerbread only fixes a few bugs and expands the NFC capabilities of the handset a bit. For Nexus One owners, though, this will be the first taste of Gingerbread that Google has given them and definitely big news. The updates are expec...

Google Nexus One deals on contract
Following the trail blazed by Apple, this time around, you have the leading online search engine Google getting its feet wet with its first Smartphone from HTC as the OEM who abandoned the rumored HTC Passion for the Google Nexus One. As a Google handset, it runs on the latest Android 2.1 Éclair OS.
High End Features
The Nexus is powered by one of the fastest processors for mobile gadgets - the 1 GHz Qualcomm QSD 8250 Snapdragon with a 512 MB flash ROM and 512 MB RAM expandable to 32 GB with its microSD slot. The retail kit includes a free 4 GB microSD card.
Confirming its HTC Passion pedigree, the Nexus sports a stylish body measuring 119 x 59.8 x 11.5mm weighing 130g and is a quad band GSM/GPRS/EDGE phone on 2G and a tri band UMTS with HSDPA/HSUPA on 3G for broadband internet surfing. It has WiFi 802.11b/g for hotspot surfing as well as Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR for high speed wireless data synching.
Inheriting the large displays of its OEM HTC line of smartphones, the Nexus impresses with its 3.7-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with Wide-VGA (480 x 800) resolution and multitouch capability that is disabled as default in its US version.

With a fully charged 1400 mAh Lithium-ion battery, you can have up to 10 hours of talk time, 20 hours of music listening, 7 hours of movie watching, 5 hours of browsing, and 290 hours of standby time.
It has the usual sensors like a proximity sensor for auto disablement of touchscreen sensitivity when held against your face in a call, gravity accelerometer for auto rotate viewing convenience and an ambient light sensor for auto brightness adjustment according to ambient light conditions. It also comes with a magnetometer for digital compass capability that aids its built-in GPS-based SatNav feature.
Imaging takes off with a 5.0 megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash and digital zoom as well as a stunning high definition 720p video recording at 20fps. Photos can be geo-tagged courtesy of its built-in GPS receiver. Entertainment is supported by media playback for the common media file codecs, a stereo FM radio with RDS and headphone listening options from wireless Bluetooth A2DP stereo headset or wired high fidelity headphones plugged to its 3.5mm headphone jack.
Like any Android handset, you get online access to more than 20,000 apps from the Android Market and growing. Not bad when you consider that the Apple App Store has about 125,000 apps. It has voice to text transcription, noise cancellation for crystal clear voice calls and voiced navigation with its GPS turn-by-turn direction feature.

When Google launched the Nexus One handset back in January, I’ll admit I was intrigued, not by the device itself but by the manner in which they went about flogging it. You had the choice of getting the phone on a contract via an operator i.e. the traditional route or buying it directly from Google and slotting in your existing SIM card. I thought the latter option was a strange thing to promote, particularly as Google had no previous experien...
