Google Sued By Floridian Over Nexus One’s 3G Issues [Android]
On behalf of his neighbors in Florida—as well as California—Nathan Nabors is attempting to take on Google in a breach of contract class action lawsuit, due to the continuing problems with the Nexus One's 3G signal. You'd think he'd be better off taking his issue up with T-Mobile, really. [TechCrunch] More

Flash Player 10.1 goes final for Nexus One handsets, available to download now
Google just confirmed it at an Android / Flash event in San Francisco, and sure enough, our trusty Nexus One just found, downloaded and installed the final (read: non-beta) version of Adobe's Flash Player 10.1. It weighs in at just under 5MB, and it's looking as sweet as ever so far. Nexus One owners can hit up the Android Market to get their download on, and we'd highly encourage you to bookmark a few dozen Flash sites just to rub in the faces of your dearest iDevice-owning friends. Just sayin'.

Nexus One lives on as Google’s official developer phone
Well, it looks like the now slightly dated Google Ion finally has an official successor -- Google has just announced that the Nexus One is its new developer phone. It apparently remains unchanged from the recently-axed consumer model, however, and Google notes that it will ship with Android 2.1 but receive Android 2.2 shortly after you turn it on. Got your developer credentials handy? Then you can log in and get your order in right now for $529.
Update: We just got a look at the specs on Google's developer site and it looks like the Nexus One on offer is unfortunately T-Mobile only. Check out the tell-tale bands for yourself after the break.
Update 2: The specs mention that the device has "no root access" and that the bootloader is locked, but we're taking this to mean it's no different from any other Nexus One you'd buy. More ominously, though, it says that fastboot isn't enabled, which leads us to wonder whether this is going to cause problems with bootloader unlocks in the field. Let's keep our fingers crossed. Thanks, Carson!

Nexus One Will Not Be Sold In T-Mobile Retail Stores
When it was confirmed that Google has officially stopped selling the Nexus One on its online web store, rumor began to spread that T-Mobile retail stores would soon begin to offer the Nexus One. If you've been banking on that rumor, you might be a tad disappointed, as a leaked document confirms that T-Mobile will not be offering the Nexus One through retail stores, though Nexus One owners will continue to receive the necessary support. If you've still got your heart set on the Nexus One, you might want to take a virtual walk into eBay and see what you're able to find.

HTC Swapping AMOLED For Super LCD [Smartphones]
HTC has today confirmed rumours of a planned switch away from the supply constrained AMOLED screen tech it sticks in its Desire and Nexus One phones, with new/old and more plentiful "Super LCD" screens replacing them. More
HTC makes Super LCD screens for Desire and Nexus One official
Welcome back to our "worst kept secrets" hour, where HTC has seen fit to release a PR blast informing the world of what it already knew: the Desire and Nexus One are getting Super (duper) LCD displays to fill demand that Samsung's AMOLED division cannot. Interestingly, HTC's statement says nothing of the Droid Incredible, a close sibling to these 3.7-inch devices, but the global Nexus One and Desire are getting hooked up "later this summer." CEO Peter Chou has also helpfully explained that the visual experience on the new SLCD screens is "comparable" to AMOLED, but offers better battery performance. Color us curious to see and hear more.

Google’s Nexus One supply is exhausted
Well, that was a fun run. Google is now officially done selling the Nexus One. It’s not that big of a surprise as it broke last week that Google’s last shipment was en-route. After the inventory dried up, they were done selling cell phones directly to consumers. Well, at least they were done for now. It’s hard to say that Google will never do it again, but it probably won’t happen for some time.
The Nexus One is loved by many. It’s a great phone and actually somewhat of a shame that the unconventional — for the US anyway — retail channel limited its sales. You have to wonder if the phone would still be around if T-Mobile sold it within their stores. But no matter, the Android phone market is dramatically better than even a few months ago when the Nexus One debuted and there are a ton of great handsets available from nearly every carrier.

Nexus One is sold out in Google’s store — forever
Google warned us that the Nexus One was approaching the end of its days, but we've gotta admit, we didn't realize just how quickly that moment would come. Sure enough, Google's official online store for the phone now just shows an ominous message that "the Nexus One is no longer available for purchase directly" from the company, which means you're going to have to go through Vodafone, KT in South Korea, or hold out for the units that they plan on selling directly to registered developers. Needless to say, for the bulk of potential customers, the phone is all but history. So, on that note, Nexus One: for your straight-shooting stock Android ways and your unlocked radio, you'll be dearly missed -- and we hope your legacy lives on, even though your retail model does not.
[Thanks, Dan]
