In a surprise move by Google and Vodafone UK, the Nexus One Android smart phone will now be offered directly by the UK based mobile network operator. Those who want to get the device early should sign up and pre order the device as soon as possible to reach the first batch of phone deliveries that will be pushing through on May 5.
If you have not been keeping tabs on the Nexus One, this offer directly from Vodafone is unique since the device was originally meant to be exclusively available in the Google Online Store. The phone launched back in January 5 and has met with a very low sales performance due to the fact that not many people were interested in getting the phone through the Google store.
The move to stock the device directly by Vodafone and ship it straight from within the UK may hopefully change the plight of the Nexus One.
In many ways, it is odd that the Nexus One smart phone actually failed. Putting the bad marketing decisions aside, the phone itself is an impressive piece of work, being one of the first true high end Android devices to be launched.
The device runs on a 1GHz Snapdragon processor which will have your apps and features loading fast and running smoothly. The 3.7 inch AMOLED touch screen display provides excellent images and responsive touch controls. Lastly, the 5 mega pixel camera takes images and videos for uploading and sharing.
Google has also put in some interesting new technology in the device as well. The Android phone comes equipped with an enhanced voice recognition system that enables the phone to convert speech to text and even accept voice input queries. The dual microphone setup allows the device to easily filter audio.
