According to ABC, the HTC Nexus One, the device that you might also know as the Google Phone, will be launched January 5th. While the choice of carrier is theoretically left to the buyer, those who buy the handset bundled with a 2 year contract with T-Mobile USA will pay a subsidized price of $199 for the unit. The phone will be made available through the Google web site. Are the competing manufacturers getting nervous? Are the carriers worrying about Google's sales process making them lose whatever control they have left over consumers? A Verizon rep that we were chatting with this evening asked if the Nexus One was something that he should be worried about-and this is from the operator that just released the 2009 Gadget of the Year! It is a real life drama out there and if The January 5th date is correct, there is only 3 weeks left to sort all of this out. In the meantime, some more pictures have made their way to BGR. Ok, who is planning on buying the Nexus One on launch day?
