Nexus One... Now what?

Yesterday Google officially made the Nexus One aka the Google Phone official; now what? After all but promising that the Nexus One will cure cancer, Google announced the latest (and currently greatest) handset running the Android OS. The much hyped news bouncing around the interwebs was that Google will change the way people buy cellphones and "change the mobile industry." If that was their intention they fell short of doing so.

To mark the occasion Google created a new way to buy the phone - direct from Google. Once you make the appropriate button clicks you're ready to make your purchase of a brand new unlocked Nexus One for $530 or a T-Mobile subsidized handset for $180 with a 2-year agreement.

As I mentioned earlier, spec wise the phone is a beast. Aesthetically it IS the prettiest phone to come out of HTC - whatever that means I'll leave up to you; and pricing isn't horrible for an unlocked phone. But I repeat: This. Will. Not. Change. The. Mobile. Industry.
