Of course, everyone is rambling on about the Nexus One phone. If you've been in a cave with Osama and haven't heard of it yet then I shall take a moment to explain. The Nexus One is the alleged name for the new Google phone that is being tested out at the moment by the Google employees.

This phone, which has been seen by only a handful of people, was labeled as the best of both worlds. With attributes from both the iPhone and Droid. The phone will be running off of the Android platform of course (duhh since it is Google's Mobile Operating System). This could be called the "Open Source Phone". Not only will the operating system (Android) be open source, but the phone will also be sold as an unlocked GSM phone.

With the phone being unlocked this will be one of the first phones to give us a true option in voice/data services. We won't be stuck with a 1 or 2-year service contract with a cellular company that we don't feel like is up to our standards. This was one huge problem with the iPhones and Droids. They tied you down when people don't want to be tied down. As technology is growing at a substantial rate and the mobile phone field being at the top of that list, you would think that companies would understand that an awesome unlocked phone would rule the entire mobile market.

Google's plan to dominate the world is coming true. Watch your back dear mister Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. I see this company squashing you and they don't even sell crap! They are only making money off of the advertisements that they sell off to companies. This is a win, win situation for the entire tech community. We don't spend money for awesome services, and they make money by sending prospective customers to companies.

Hopefully, the phone will also be integrated with their soon to come voip services. If we could get the free voip services, wave, and voice all put on one phone then everyone will be happy. It is also rumored that the Nexus One phone will be sold only at cost. They are not going to pull profits off of the phone, but make money off of mobile advertisements. Sounds like a good deal to me if this is true.

Here are some leaked pictures of the phone from TechCrunch and Engadget:
