The kids over at Engadget are the type that can’t rest until they know the contents of every present under the Christmas tree. Shaken today is the package containing Google’s Nexus One smartphone. And Engadget thinks they know what its all about.
Relying on an anonymous tipster, Engadget is reporting that the Nexus One will come equipped with Android 2.1, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.1 2.1 (and A2DP Stereo Bluetooth), a digital compass, an accelerometer, a 5-megapixel camera with a 2X zoom, 512MB of memory, and a 4GB Micro SD card. It will be able to handle JPEG, GIF, and BMP images; MP3, MIDI, XMF, iMelody, Ogg Vorbis, and WAVE audio; and MPEG-4, H.264 AVC video. No word on what talk and standby times are. The Nexus One will be for use only on GSM/EDGE systems (and will be quad-band). (Engadget posted a full set of specs, if you too can’t wait for Christmas morning.)
But, it probably matters little, because there’s not going to be one under your tree, now or any time soon. Engadget also reports that the initial round of sales of the Nexus One will be by “invitation” only. Whose to get the invites Engadget doesn’t know. But they do say that T-Mobile, at some point in the future, will be offering the Nexus One for sale.

You know, flash memory isn't THAT expensive anymore. It'd be nice to see more than 512MB in one of these handhelds. A nice round 1GB would suffice. Especially for app installs and whatnot. Sure, installing apps to the SD card is ok, but only if you are able to remove the SD Card from your phone, put it in to another (of same make and model) and reinstall your apps from the card (pending authorization of account or something for paid apps).
I may complain about the memory, but I absolutely LOVE my Dream (G1). Best mobile phone purchase ever!

Hate to be a killjoy, but this is looking more and more like Google's just going to be selling a dev phone and the actual consumer version will be showing up on T-Mobile in the summer, just like with the Dream/G1.
Maybe that's just me, though.

I think you mean Bluetooth 2.1 (As per the Engadget article). 3.1 would be cool too, though. A phone from the future?
