After many leaks and hands-on’s the Nexus One has just been officially released by Google a few minutes back. Unvieled by Peter Chou, CEO of HTC and head in the creation of the Nexus One’s hardware the superphone(as its called by google) is what the leaks predicted:

- The specs match previous leaks. It’s a 3.7? AMOLED display with a trackball.

- It comes with features such as a light sensor, GPS, and accelerometer. These are all features pioneered by Apple’s iPhone.

- It’s 130 grams in weight and 11.5 mm in width, about the width of a standard #2 pencil.

- The camera is 5MP with LED flash.

- The audio has received an upgrade. It has two microphones, one of which is used for noise cancellation.

- Customization is a key to the Nexus One. There are five home screens to cusotmize your interface.

- Google showed off some of its dynamic touchscreen features of the software.. For example, one of the wallpapers is a lake with leaves. When you touch it, it will ripple. It’s quite nifty, actually.

- They worked with the team at CoolIris to visualize photons on the Nexus One in a 3D environment. If you tap on an album, you’ll be able to quickly scan and load photos. You can also tip and dip photos based on your hand motions and the accelerometer.

Go to the Google Official Technical Sheet for more in-depth specs

As you can see from the above picture, Google is comparing the device to a pencil even though the phone isn’t ground-breakingly thin.

Note: This post will be updated as soon as some more info is revealed soon

Nokia N97 qwerty users were recently blessed with the introduction of the long-keypress which allows users to access symbols and numbers via this method. This function is sadly missing in the Nokia N900 but this will soon be remedied in the next firmware update as part of the internal build version 2009.52-10, according to Maemo Bugmaster Andre Klapper.
