Google said it will sell the Nexus One, its own touch-screen smartphone, for $180 with a two-year T-Mobile contract or $530 unlocked -- stepping up its attack on rival Apple with a device widely seen as a competitor to the iPhone.
Google has already gained a foothold in the mobile arena with its Android operating system. But the Nexus One, built by Taiwan handset maker HTC, is the its first Google-branded phone -- sold directly to consumers following rival Apple's iPhone. It has a large 3.7-inch touch screen with vibration feedback, 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 5.0-megapixel auto-focus camera with LED flash, 512MB onboard memory with microSD slot, noise suppression technology and runs the latest version of Google's Android operating system with Google services including Gmail, Maps and Search. The device had been widely anticipated since Google handed out the smartphone to its own employees three weeks ago.
