Droid 101

Google released to the world the Nexus One Smart phone a little more than 6 months ago. The Nexus One is Google’s answer to what a real smart phone should be, and to all accounts they achieved their goal. In this gadget for every occasion world we live, the Nexus One stood as a testament that some things can actually be one size fits all. Power, speed, customization, and the ability to upgrade the system’s Android OS all while housed in a very sleek and dare I say sexy shell, not to mention having a Touchscreen that was vibrant and beautiful.
Google wanted to change the way phones where sold and marketed, which by all means was a noble idea, however they have partners to keep happy as well as not being able to advertise in a conventional sort of way made getting the Nexus One out to the masses difficult to say the least. In this short period of time the Nexus One has developed quite the following from modders to everyday users alike.
What Is the future of the Nexus brand? Will there be a Nexus Two? As of right now, Google says that there are presently no future plans to replace the Nexus One, and to which I say that SUCKS! Many Android users just want a light striped down version of Android from Google running their devices. So Google don’t let the Nexus brand die, give the Android community a worthy successor to the Nexus One.  I hope you hear us, in fact I know you do.

Nexus One, we here at Droid 101 salute you. It’s been a fun ride!
