"The Nexus One runs the latest version of Google's Android mobile operating system, allowing for several forward-thinking features. Nexus One users can rely on speech anywhere on the phone where text can be input — users can speak their e-mails, text messages, tweets and web searches.

The phone will retail for $180 with a 2-year contract with T-Mobile, but will also be available for $530 unlocked. It ships today and is available for purchase immediately at Google's new online store. The Nexus One will be available on Verizon and Vodaphone networks this spring, Google says."
