Posted by 37prime in : Announcement, Applications, Apps, Media, News, Resources, Tech , 2commentsIt seems that I’ll be getting Nexus One, the fabled Google phone. Since Reuters broke the story and picked up by the Android Guys; it is really likely I’d be getting Nexus One this January 2010.

We’ll find out in January 2010.
