Google Nexus One vs iPhone 3GS vs Motorola Milestone vs HTC Hero

We've only had a taste of the Google Nexus One, but Google says it's the phone that will really show what Android can do. Although it doesn't live up to the hype that built up around the mythical Google phone, it does look like it'll be the fastest, smoothest Android phone yet.

Latest and greatest

The Nexus One packs version 2.1 of Google's Android operating system, which puts it ahead of the even the Motorola Milestone, which was leading the pack with version 2.0. It also has a stunning 94mm (3.7-inch) AMOLED screen and gets its speed from a 1GHz Snapdragon processor.

Lost in the UK

Like the Motorola Milestone, in the UK, the Nexus One is missing one of the biggest features the latest version of Android, Google's turn-by-turn navigation. It does have voice recognition, however, so you can dictate almost anywhere you can type.

For now, the Google Nexus One looks like a tempting option for anyone who's been waiting for Android to get polished. We'll soon be doing a full review, but in the meantime check out our hands-on photos.
