Finally we have what most of us wanted to hear! The detailed spec sheet of the "GooglePhone" aka the Nexus One has finally been leaked. This comes just days after the images of the phone with the iPhone and the HTC Hero started doing rounds of the Internet. So, does the spec sheet throw some surprises? Well, not really. In fact, some users might turn out to be disappointed because the Nexus One will definitely not turn heads - not just by its specs alone. In fact, had it been not for the GooglePhone label, you might just have passed it of as a high end, quality phone from er.. HTC. Having said that, what needs to be noted here is that the specs is quite contemporary and amongst the best out there. The reason for the aforementioned disappointment would be because this might not be "enough" owing to the fact that this is the mighty GooglePhone! "It had to be out of this world" - is the general perception whenever people expect something from Google!

3.7 inch WVGA AMOLED touchscreen display
