Nexus One (ADP3) Development Phone Available for $529

Google has just made their Nexus One the official developer phone. Google has stopped selling the device via their online phone store, but it is still available for developers inside the Market dashboard. You will need to sign into your Android developer account and click on the “Developer Phones” link.

Priced at $529, the Nexus One is shipping with Android 2.1 and soon after activation, should update you to the Android 2.2 platform allowing current developers and new developers alike, to start using the “latest and greatest” hardware and software to help create the ultimate application. The Nexus One is the successor of the previous “dev” phone the T-Mobile G1/HTC Dream (ADP1) and the Google ION/HTC Magic (ADP2).
