Tmobile confirms The Nexus

Does ne1 have any clue how this invite thing for the phone may work. I read that developers/press first, then what?

in my opinion wouldn't it make sense to just mass release and put a hurting on apple on T-mo's spectrum

hopefully it is just a mass release and that its actually released to public on Jan 5th, and not just announced.

Not having followed new phone announcements in the past, is there a typical timeframe from the announcement date to the retail sale date of the phone or does it vary from phone to phone?

My contract with sprint is up next week and I want to get this phone, but wondering if it will be this month or still be a few months.

Either way (immediately or in a few months) DON'T renew your contract with Sprint, LOL.

If you are new to (and will continue to) following phone releases, you will be very disappointed when your waiting, and waiting, and waiting, for Sprint to finally get that hot new phone.

To answer your question though: It varies. As it was said, Apple can do it immediately. But since this is Google doing the release, WHO KNOWS? Optomistic though that it will be sooner than later since peeps have already had the phone for a month+

Thanks, I kind figured that would be the answer. I WILL NOT be renewing my contract with Sprint. I was looking at the Droid (and the Iphone), but after finding the leaks about the Google Phone and the HTC Passion, etc., I am more interested in the new phones, but I also don't want to just wait and wait for the next new thing to come. I want to enjoy a new phone at some point. (I've had a BB Pearl for 2 years now)

im wondering if this is by invite, would someone with all of googles services have a better shot at an invite than someone who doesnt. like would joe shmo have a better shot if he has google wave, voice, gmail, etc than say sho joe who only has only gmail?

Invites seem to only be going to the media such as engadget, BGR, Gizmodo etc. I dont think regular joes get invited :(

Makes me wonder about the rumored price of $199. I'm thinking either it is really that cheap because of the info Google could get/ads used, or could be they are subsidizing it and still requiring a contract under T-mobile like Apple does selling the iPhone directly from Apple stores... or that the rumored price is just wrong haha.
