Google’s first ever own-brand mobile phone, the HTC-manufactured Nexus One, could be set loose as soon as tomorrow.
The search giant has made sure that the biggest tech story of the latter part of 2009 is staying top of the wires going into 2010 by announcing a press conference for tomorrow, January 5…
And, as Nexus One specs, video reviews, previews and even pricing details have been awash on the web, it’s widely expected that the occasion will see Google finally giving its Android-powered baby the green light – in the US, at least.

For the one piece of information almost universally agreed on at this point is that the Nexus One will be available in the States initially, with a European release following later in the year.

But there’s still plenty to get excited about, even if we have to wait to get our own mitts on Google’s blower. At a luxurious 3.7 inches across the Nexus One will have a bigger screen than its smartphone nemesis, the iPhone, and will also come with Qualcomm’s 1GHz Snapdragon processor, a 5-megapixel camera and microSD card slot offering memory expandable to 32GB.

Reports suggest the Nexus One will go on sale for $500 SIM-free in the US, or $180 if taken with a T-Mobile contract.

We’ll let you know as soon as Google tells us more – hopefully tomorrow. In the meantime, take a gander at our 50 Best Android apps.
