Google launches Nexus One, goes for $529 unlocked and $179 on contract

Amidst the CES frenzy that is already underway, Google launched its highly anticipated Nexus One. The phone is created by HTC and thanks to a steady flow of leaks, we already know most of the things about the device. Nexus One’s spec sheet includes a 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, 1Ghz Snapdragon processor, Android 2.1 update, 5MP with LED flash, GPS, accelerometer, 3.5mm audio jack and more.

Google is selling the device in few countries, including US at $529 as full retail price but if you’re willing to sign T-Mobile’s dotted line, it will cost just $179.
