The sequel to the Android device that started it all is on it’s way to T-Mobile; and the specs have finally been announced. Now, I must say that these are hardly mind-blowing specifications by any means, but it seems like it will hold up well in the mid-high range Android world. The design may be the thing that makes or breaks this device, is not as sleek or as modern as looking I would like, it could appeal to some though. It does have a physical keyboard, much like the G1, to satisfy the tactile fiends out there. A nice touch is the fact that it will ship with 2.2 firmware and should of course feature the HTC Sense UI. No pricing has been mentioned. Following the break is the specs breakdown.

Nexus One Discontinued
On Friday, Google announced that they had just received the last shipment of their much beloved ‘Google Phone” the Nexus One to be sold on their online store. The Nexus One epitomized the Android operating system by offering the most powerful hardware and also by having no region lock to raise its availability. This touchscreen behemoth did receive many favourable reviews and was well received by the tech community, however the consumers did not hop on the bandwagon quite so easily, as sales did suffer when compared to those of the retail options.
The lack of local sales and service for it could be one of the reasons it fell behind in overall sales. This could also be theĀ reason they are no longer offering online sales after this shipment is sold. Though retailers such as Vodafone in Europe, KT in Korea, and possibly others based on local market conditions will still sell the Nexus, certainly not handy for us North Americans. So if you were waiting for a price drop or another reason to grab this upgrade then now is your chance.
