While there is incessant buzz that the Google Nexus Phone is coming on T-Mobile’s mobile network in the UK, the search engine giant seems poised to pick out AT&T for the launch of the 3G version of the device in the US, it has been emerged.
Google is apparently drawing away from its initial marketing strategy of selling the device direct-to-customers, presumably after the inaugural edition of its smartphone failed to work with the AT&T’s 3G networks.
In a bid to deal with this, the search company had reportedly filed an application with the US Federal Communications Commission for launching a 3G iteration of the device compatible with AT&T’s networks.
Incidentally, recent reports are suggesting that the Commission has already given a nod for such a version of the Google’s highly-talked about Nexus One.
The 3G version of the smart phone will soon be made available. In addition to this, reports are also doing rounds that a Verizon edition of the Google phone is expected to hit the shelves by spring this year.

The high-end Android smartphone, is similar in many ways to the Google Nexus One. Pictures of the HTC Bravo have already appeared on the web.

Along with that the handset is also configured with a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, Wi-Fi, GPS and HSDPA – same as the configurations of the Nexus One.
However, unlike the latter, the Bravo boasts of multi-touch and a new optical trackpad, as against the traditional trackball setup.

Rory Cellan-Jones, ,the technology correspondent of the BBC was dispatched to Google’s HQ, where he put up a question while taking interviews that if Google had thought that Nexus One mobile would provide contest for iPhone Apple. The spokesman of Google waffled, but needn’t have bothered. In fact it is the truth that in most respects Apple product is superior to the Google phone.
Wait…
This does not mean that Nexus One does not have some nice features. It has a powerful processor chip, which has the ability to run multiple applications at a single time. The handset has a nice screen having higher resolution than the iPhone and it has a turn-by-turn navigation (including Street View so that one can reach their destination easily). The voice recognition software of this Google phone works 90% of the time. There are many more powerful features to allow you depart with your money.
