After Nokia X6, there is also going to be another high-class smartphone available in South Korea soon. KT, the second largest phone carrier in South Korea, will sell the phone, but unfortunately we do not know anything about the price yet. KT says Nexus One will be available both online and through various retailers.

KT also offers iPhone in South Korea, so it's not an untested market. Since November 2009, it sold an incredible 732.000 units of iPhones. Comparing the sales in the US, Nexus One will probably not be so popular in the Asian country, but you never know what can happen.

You probably already know Nexus One runs Android 2.2 (and it's the first smartphone out there which got it), is powered up by a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, packs 512 MB DRAM and has an 800x480 display. The storage capacity is big, 512 MB internal memory and 4 GB included on slot, expandable until 32.

After Google announced they will close their online store, we didn't heard too much about when Nexus One will be available, but the smartphone may be available at a third-party store, T-Mobile partner, called iWireless. This seems to be one of the first outlets in US selling Nexus One. The price is $299.95 after a rebate and a two-year deal. This is a good deal in my opinion, deal in which you can also purchase the T-Mobile compatible device and use it however you want.

We don't know if AT&T or T-Mobile will sell the phone on their own websites too, but at least now we're sure Google will shut down the online store for sure.

We announced some time ago that Google Nexus One will be available in South Korea soon. The Android 2.2 powered device is now available through KT, the second largest mobile phone carrier in Korea. By giving Android 2.2 a go, they allowed every user to enjoy the latest features, including Adobe Flash 10.1 support, a faster web browser and enhanced voice recognition, which is available in many languages, including Korean.

Starting from today there are going to be 4000 devices available at the carrier. This doesn't seem to be too much, but the online retailers will also sell Google Nexus through their stores starting Monday and will offer the phone with around $577 off-contract. Anyway, it's weird Android 2.2 is available in a country like Korea when the newest operating system is not available in bigger consumer countries. Google announced there will not be too much to wait for the update to come in most of the countries. Maybe all of them?

TELUS, the Canadian phone carrier, will release the Nexus One soon. Tipsters say that there will be a promo offer Nexus One will be offered with. The promotional price plan will offer the phone with less money than the $529 we heard about when the phone was released back in March. After Google announced they will stop selling Nexus One online many carriers wanted to sell their mobile, including TELUS. The smartphone will probably be available in more plans. If the official price of Google is $529, then the price at TELUS for the off-contract version is probably being around the same fee.

Buying the phone with a three-year deal will be $99.99. With the two-year contract there will be around $250 and with the one-year contract there will be a $499.99 fee.

Google Nexus One is Google's first smartphone, running Android 2.1 Eclair and manufactured by HTC Corporation. It is powered up by a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon ARM processor, has a 512MB flash memory on a microSD card with a 4GB card included. It can hold up to 32GB. It packs 512MB DRAM, has a 800x480 pixels display, 3.7 inchWVGA with AMOLED screen. The camera is a 5.0MP with video capabilities and packs Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi and aGPS.

Google Nexus One was pretty catchy since its release, but it seems this is going to be the last device from Google, as the American giant isn't planning on releasing another smartphone. Google's CEO, Eric Schmidt, announced today they've decided not to produce the rumored Google Nexus Two. The reason? Well, they said they have achieved everything they wanted with the first Nexus, so that's why there isn't going to be a second one. 

"The idea a year and a half ago was to do the Nexus One to try to move the phone platform hardware business forward. It clearly did. It was so successful, we didn't have to do a second one", stated Schmidt. They congratulated themselves and stopped the possibility to release a Nexus Two.

Anyway, there are many users out there who think sooner or later there is going to be another Android device from Google, but they can't say anything about it. If it's going to be another device from Google, then they really know how to keep a secret.

We talked about Google shutting down their online store but they do not stop pushing for it yet. The Android based smartphone will be available in France at SFR, which is a division of Vodafone. The smartphone can be bought in France from their website. You will have to pay around 130 euro on a one-year contract. If you want the smartphone to be able to use any network you will have to spend around 420 euro.

The handheld device will be available from 25th May at SFR and is suggested Vodafone's franchise will be the only one able to sell Nexus One in France for half a year.

This January, when Google released Nexus One, they've also introduced to the market a mobile phone store, where you could have buyed this smartphone from. You could have picked the phone, the plan and mix between every option. The user didn't had to do many things for buying the Nexus One. It seems now the phone was not such a revolution because many producers preffered other models, as HTC or iPhone.

Producers as Verizon Communications didn't liked to give up control and decided not to sell Google's smartphone. Because of this and other companies, the mobile phone seems more a flop than a market-breaking release. It's obvious users like to see and control the phone by hand before buying it. When you buy a book or an HDD you don't need to, but buying a mobile phone (especially one that can cost more than $500 unlocked) is an important investition and you may need to research and compare a lot before taking a decision. 

Google's online mobile store was not a good idea and they know it. Maybe know more companies will agree to sell Nexus One and the phone will spread around, but I've never seen Google as a good mobile phone producer. I don't really think they can match Sony Ericsson, Blackberry or Nokia and this is definitely in their disadvantage.
