GOOGLE has unveiled its new Nexus One smartphone, but you’ll have to wait a while to get one in Australia… Import it I say *smiles*

The touch-screen device was today billed by Google as a “superphone” and the next step in the evolution of its Android software.

The phone, which has no set release date in Australia, is expected to be released gradually around the world.

“We do hope to allow people in other countries to purchase the Nexus One and future phones from Google soon, but I don’t have a time frame to share,” a spokesperson told technology news site Gizmodo,

Google launched its own online store at which the Nexus One would be sold.

Nexus One smartphones will be sold at the Google-hosted web store for $US529 ($578) “unlocked”, without ties to a telecom carrier.

This is in contrast to Apple’s iPhone, which forces consumers to pick a plan with a carrier before being able to use the phone.
