Google Nexus 2: Next after Nexus One?
Google Nexus 2: Next after Nexus One?

After Google released a smartphone with Android open source mobile operating system (Nexus One
), What next?
Rumor mills suggest that a Google Nexus 2 is lurking in a research lab already. No sooner had the Nexus One stunned us all with Nexus One’s launch on January 5 than the inevitable Google “Nexus 2” started appearing in online rumor pieces.
Thanks to Google itself that this rumor has emerged. With vice-president of product management Mario Queiroz commenting at the Nexus One launch that it was “the first in a series of phones”.
And indeed, a few days after the Nexus One’s arrival, Google’s VP of engineering responsible for Android, Andy Rubin, claimed that a QWERTY keyboard-wielding follow-up was indeed in development, with it would be focused on business users.
Top 20 Geeky Inventions
Since then, practically every handset vaguely fitting the bill has been touted as a potential Google Nexus 2. One of the issues clouding any talk of a Nexus One follow-up is that Google itself doesn’t make the hardware. HTC is its partner of choice for its smartphone debut, but some rumors are suggesting fellow Open Handset Alliance member Motorola may be favored next time up.
The Motorola Shadow – first outed at the end of last year – is the current insider tip as a potential Nexus in different clothing. It adds one of the few features the Google Nexus One actually lacks – a QWERTY keyboard. But that’s about all that’s known right now, and the single image being circulated appears nothing more than an artist’s render.
There’s talk of a next-gen Snapdragon 1.3GHz or 1.5GHz processor being lined up, along with the next Android update too, of course (which we know know will be called Froyo) but it’s anyone’s guess if either will be found in a Google-branded phone anytime soon. What do you think? Nexus 2 is just another rumor or is it for real?

Many such names pop up. Nexus 2 crap!!!
You mean Shadow??
Many such names pop up frequently. dragon, hero, and others
Isn’t it amazing that even rumors quickly become so popular if the name “Google” is associated with them?
Hey… Cool post
what’s the cost of this?
Jojo´s last blogpost >> Google Nexus 2: Next after Nexus One?
As it is not yet confirmed if this is a rumor or real, price of Nexus 2 is out of question for the moment. Anyway, for Google’s and everyone else’s own good Google better keep it affordable and near the price of Nexus 1!
No doubt the feature list for the Nexus Three and Four are already documented by now.
That’s why they are Google, the “Big G”!
Hello

Google needs to look at the product finish of apple and bring the nexus 2 with all the current android + lighter, stronger and faster one with a better replacement for the track ball and battery hours.

Considering the fact that Google struggled to sell Nexus One and and it turned out to be a BIG Flop, they should bring something better to the table in form of Nexus Two.
