We told you that Motorola was prepping a new Android smart phone, called Shadow, but now many rumors claim the Motorola Shadow as the next generation of the Google Nexus phone, which could be called Google Nexus Two.

The Google Nexus One phone was built by HTC, but rumors say that Google could be partnering with another manufacturer for making the Nexus Two phone. The speculation was raised due to both Google and Motorola were at the same talk a week ago, where Google Executive, Andy Rubin, talked about the Nexus phone and Motorola talked about the importance of Android and the flagship devices.

So, if the rumors are true, the Google Nexus Two will be a QWERTY slider smart phone with large screen. Rumors also suggest that it’ll aim at the corporates or possibly compete with the Blackberry and its Enterprise Server. Anyway, all these are just rumors, nothing is official yet.

As expected, Google Nexus One phone was officially announced on Jan 5 2010 in California. The Nexus One runs Android 2.1, comes with features including 3.7-inch 480 x 800 touchscreen, GPS, accelerometer, light, proximity sensor, microSD card slot (up to 32GB), 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, and powered by the 1GHz Snapdragon processor.

The Nexus One phone is product of the close partnership between Google and HTC and Google has categorized it in the Superphones category. Android 2.1 on the Nexus one allows 5 home screens to be defined. The GPS capability also allows your to track location-aware weather information, which you can also create a widget of weather to place on the home screen.

Although it packs lots of goodies but unfortunately it lacks of multi-touch! Applications such as browser, maps, and other programs do not make use of multi touch on the Nexus One’s touchscreen. The answer from Google is “they’ll consider it in the future”.

Prices are as expected before, unlocked for $529.00, on T-Mobile for $179.00, and will be coming to Verizon this spring. Find out more on Google. Engadget has the full coverage of the superphone event.
