Nexus 2

[rockymtnhigh]

The blogosphere is full of rumors of the Nexus Two being announced by Samsung, apparently on November 8th.

Can't wait to see what specs this baby has. The big questions is whether Big Red will carry it. That would be a very nice thing to see.... that and an unlocked bootloader, with nothing but gingerbread goodness and not bloat.

Interesting times we live in.... while I am so tempted to use my one year upgrade on a DX, my brain is saying to be patient grasshopper -- there will be good things for those who wait.

Wow! I was excited when I heard about the Sony Playstation android phone, but these specs are awesome!

And thinking about it.... why doesn't the Galaxy Tab have those specs, minus the 4.3" screen ??

It would be quite an 180 degree turn if Nexus Two ever saw the light of day. But with Google this could happen, I believe...

Specs are definitely mouth watering...

Could mean those are the minimum specs for Honeycomb (or Ice Cream).
Official support for 3 generations of the Android OS would be reasonable:
Nexus One: came out with Eclair, upgradeable to Froyo and Gingerbread.
Nexus Two: came out with Gingerbread, upgradeable to Honeycomb and Ice Cream.

I just suspect it will be Europe-only affair (if at all).
Despite what Schmidt says it were the carriers that made them quit selling N1 in North America.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if this whole rumor is misplaced and it is a Google tablet that was expected by Black Friday.

Sad, but probably true. I am really curious how long it will be before Apple introduces the ipad2.

Of course, I would most likely have to carry around the battery from my F-150 to keep it powered-up.

Yeah, or at least a battery pack on your belt. Maybe that is the future. We all wear Batman-like utility belts which provide power to our hand-helds.

Those specs are speculation and probably won't even be that accurate.
Samsung doesn't Fab out a 4.3' display.

Here is what the mockup looks like...

It looks like the rumour is based on the fact that Samsung has a press event scheduled for that day
Is Samsung About to Unveil a Google Nexus Two? | Gadget Lab | Wired.com

Whether the rumors around Nexus Two are true or not, one thing is clear. There is a press event for that date and Samsung does plan to introduce a new Android device then. “We’re not commenting on the rumors and speculation,” says a Google spokesperson.

But the idea sounds plausible even if only to kick-start Gingerbread.
Google does need a vehicle to showcase the new OS and Nexus Two - even if only for six months or so, just like N1 - would be one way to do this...

There is not much hope that other manufacturers/carriers will rush to Gingerbread: Sony's X10 starts getting Android 2.1 (!!) this weekend...

Rumor: Nexus Two will feature 1.2 GHz CPU, headed to T-Mobile – Android and Me

Very unlikely Verizon will get it. Quotes from Google Senior executive says they still feel there is a marked for Unlocked phones. Verizon is not friend to Unlocked phones with CDMA and it appears no SIM card LTE. Likely T-Mo or At&T is more likely.

Agreed.

Despite all the efforts, the market for unlocked (GSM) handsets doesn't want to die...

Nexus One was the short lived (some 6 months) first attempt to bring some variety to the way smartphone handsets are sold this side of the ocean.
And others started toying with this idea, too: Dell, Samsung and now HP as well

Looks like it will be called Nexus S

Just like expected, a Samsung S variant.

Most likely waiting for the official Gingerbread announcement...
