Nexus One specs revealed, first units available by “invitation” By admin in Mobile Development News
After several weeks of waiting, we finally have the full spec sheet for the Nexus One thanks to Engadget. Most of the specs are just what we expected except for the amount of RAM. We had heard rumors it was being beefed up and we can now confirm the Nexus One has 512 MB RAM (2x the 256 MB of the Droid).
Engadget is also reporting that the first batch of phones will be available only by “invitation” from Google. We were lucky enough to be invited to Google I/O 2009 where we received the Google Ion phone so I’m crossing my fingers we get a special invite to review the Nexus One.
The other good news is that T-Mobile will eventually sell the Nexus One at some point in the future. We are still waiting to get an official launch date and retail pricing.
Highlights of the Nexus One include:
- Android 2.1
- 11.5mm thick
- 512MB RAM, 512MB ROM, 4GB microSD in-box expandable to 32GB
- 5 megapixel camera with mechanical AF and LED flash
- HSPA 900 / 1700 / 2100, 7.2Mbps down and 2Mbps up — in other words, yes to T-Mobile 3G and no to AT&T 3G
- 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED display
Me likely 512 MB RAM.

But a 512 MB ROM does not mean 512 MB (or anything close to that) for apps… Which is why people are clamoring for more space all the time. Take for example the CLIQ – it has 512 MB ROM but only about 200 MB for apps.
If it was 500 MB after the system, radio, etc… Then I think it would be fine for most people. Of course, I only use approximately 10 MB on a regular basis.
This spurious forum post doesn’t seem like anything worth taking seriously. It is extremely vague, seems to claim that Google even has a say in T-Mobile’s price structuring, and contradicts what my own sources at T-Mobile have been saying.
I’d like to hear from someone with a proven record in having reliable sources. Some fact-checking is in order here.
The default apps2sd configuration only allocates 500MB for apps anyway. Most people don’t need >200 applications. For those who do, they probably also want root access anyway. I think as long as devices are kept open enough to be easily rooted, this model works fine.
This thing is fantastic. If the $199 price w/ T-Mobile contract is accurate, I just might abdicate my G1, physical keyboard or no.
To my knowledge, 32GB microSD cards are not presently on the market. I know Amazon doesn’t have any. SanDisk announced that they’d be starting production in 2H 09, but it seems as though they are not yet available.
16 GB microSD cards (currently the largest capacity available) are ~$70. That’s not all that bad considering the relative cost of buying a whole new phone (e.g. the iPhone model) to get more memory (not to mention the inconvenience of embedded vs. removable memory).
…but it’s on T-Mobile.
I’m actually HAPPY that it will come out later!!!!
If the information in that post is accurate, as I’m hoping it is, it will give me a few more months of saving to do, bills to pay, etc.
before laying down almost $400 for a new phone.
ALL BOW DOWN TO YE MIGHTY GOOOOGLLLLE!
lol
It’s not “supposed” to be anything – the price has YET to be officially announces Jeff.
At least, nothing from T-Mobile nor Google has been said about the pricing of the Nexus One.
That amount of $200 was ‘assumed’ by ’someone’.
Just like the article ‘how google can afford to give the google phone away for free’ – or something similar.
It’s all rumor, speculation and based on assumption.
I’d be delighted to know it’s less than half the cost of the Sony X10 at $800!!!!!!!!!!!!
As much as I thought ‘i love my G1 keyboard’, I really don’t use it THAT much.
The only time I do use it is when entering passwords in the browser – I use lots of alphanumerics in my passwords
My guess is that they do not want us Android users to ’share’ apps that are paid, etc.
