Droid wha?, Google, Nexus yeah!

I never understood the hype behind Droid by Motorola. It looked pretty ugly and the hardware was "meh" at best.

But now I'm excited.

Nexus 1 is coming soon and it's a phone designed by Google, made by HTC. Now THAT is something that interests me. Android has a lot of potential. I see a future where all of the google applications online (including google translate, google maps, google chat, google docs, etc) are integrated into the android and available 24/7 on the phone. Can you imagine being able to access translation tool on the fly integrated with google voice/google ap? Holy shit, now that is amazing.

The other awesome news is that unlike the Droid, the Nexus will apparently be sold by Google unlocked and have the ability to access both GSM 3g networks in the US.

Seriously. This is great news. This is the game changer that everyone has been waiting for.

If google does another one of those exclusive deal bull shit with a particular carrier however, I will be disappointed. But if the prelim plans that are leaked on the web are true, I may be sporting an android phone come end of next year.

And because this phone is GSM, the google phone can be sold all around the world at launch. Fucking amazing. I still don't think this phone will topple iphone's dominance but I think it will make Apple take notice finally. All of these other supposed "iphone killers" were absolutely retarded. Nothing can touch the Iphone right now. Even the haters know this deep inside. But with the Nexus, things may finally change.
