Nexus One, Here I come!

It 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.

From Android Guys:

Here’s the price: $199 unlocked in stores. $100 rebate online if you have an active and old Google account. That $100 rebate is either to buy it $99 online from Google’s online phone store, for using on Android Marketplace or for using on any Google Checkout stores. Can also be used for T-Mobile or AT&T pre-paid Data SIM card service at $29 per month, no contracts required.

What does “old Google account” mean?

I know that I have google account when it was first in invitation only phase.

We’ll find out in January 2010.

p.s. I read it via Hacker News.

“Captain’s Blog, June 6th 2009. It is the Saturday where the fate of one company hangs on a product. Palm Inc. is is hoping to have a hit on their hands to ensure their survival. This is a do or die. This could make or break the future of Palm.”

Palm Pre is set to be unleashed today to the Sprint Network.

Palm is sure to bask in glory, until Apple introduced the next version of the iPhone; and it could be just a few days away till Apple’s WWDC on June 8th, 2009.
