Finally details about Google Phone is revealed Officially. The Search engine Giant finally unveils the Self-developed Smartphone, they call it a “SUPERPHONE”. On top of this, they have come up with a Google Web Store For purchaing the Phone.(I Gave a try & always ended up in an error page).The web store allows you to purchase the Nexus One without operator or with the wireless service from T-Mobile USA. It also promises more operators soon.So why is this this device creating such a huge interest among consumer / techie’s , lets take a look. Initally Google launched Android with T-Mobile USA as G1, but as of date they have about 20 devices with 59 operators in 48 countries and 19 languages. Android is free & Opensource, this is another reason why the platform might have got so much light.
