Google has released its long awaited mobile gadget - The Nexus One, running on the Android OS. The best part about Nexus One is that you can purchase its unlocked version. This is good news for all the UAEns as you would be able to use it on either Etisalat or Du network. Google has smartly placed itself in the market by not signing up with a single telecom provider as previously done by iPhone.
Check out the below comparison table released by BillShrink.
Some other info that is missing in the below comparison sheet is the Nexus One has the Google Earth and Geo Location Feature that is missing in iPhone. Another point to be noted is that Google has signed up with T-Mobile to sell the device on a limited contractual basis.
For all the tech freaks check out the Processor Speed for each of these phones. This info is missing in the below comparison sheet.
| iPhone 3GS | Palm Pre | Motorola Droid | Nexus One |
| 600 + Mhz | 600+ Mhz | 550 Mhz | 1 Ghz |
The most important conclusion that one can derive from this launch is that Google has finally launched its own online store. The overly hyped Nexus One launch has over shadowed the launch of the online store or Google intentionally wanted to keep it low. This is definitely a potential threat to many online stores as the website remains the only place where you can purchase the device. You never know but Google may start selling its upcoming computers on a Dell based model from this particular site. Just a point on the Multi-tasking bit - iPhone does perform multitasking, which has been erroneously reported as 'No' in the table.
Good news for people who are dying to get their hands on this device in UAE. You can buy the phone online via Souq.com. There are some people selling the device but at a much higher price...filling their pockets I guess ;)
