Blogger Cory O’Brien posted a snapshot of Google Phone- Nexus One. He tweeted about the phone as

“Google Phone = iPhone + a little extra screen and a scroll wheel. Great touch screen, and Android.”

Nexus One is thinner than the iPhone 3GS and it is unlocked(so you can you any SIM with Nexus One). Google handed over test units to their employees for testing. Hope we will get more details about the “Nexus One” coming days.

Updated – Few more details from @coryobrien tweets

• Almost forgot: Google Phone’s interactive backgrounds were AWESOME. Not distracting, but an interesting/unique addition to the phone.
• The Google Phone is exactly the same size as the iPhone. Screen is prob 5mm longer(not including the buttons)
• Scroll wheel worked well, and the screen was super responsive. Scrolling/sliding felt just like an iPhone
• Software was nice, though I haven’t played w/ many Android phones, so I don’t know what was unique to the Google Phone
• We’ll see, but it was a nice phone. Definitely going to give some competition
• The four buttons at the bottom are always there.
• I like my iPhone, but the Google Phone was nice. Will definitely be some strong competition.
• Trade-off for no HW keyboard is that it’s super thin and feels really solid though.
• Nothing too detailed, but my overall impression was that it was a really nice phone.
• Very responsive. Didn’t do any serious testing, but it felt very iPhone like when using the OS.
