Android Guys reports that Google is set to release a new phone, the Android-based Nexus One, on January 5.  They speculate:

Google will push full VOIP usage on these, meaning no voice/sms plans needed at any carrier. Voice calls will go through Google Voice on Data SIM cards and will provide unlimited free voice calling. And SMS is replaced by unlimited free Gtalk.

Interesting, no? Here’s something even more interesting – Google seems to have reserved a couple of URLs for the coming offer. I checked http://www.google.com/nexusone, and was received a standard 404 error, NOT the custom 404 page that Google normally serves up when a page isn’t found.

This is the standard Google 404 page: ( http://www.google.com/blah )
standardgoogle404

This is the (browser-generated) 404 page shown when looking at http://www.google.com/nexusone and http://www.google.com/nexus1:
nexusone404

Interesting, no? Whether the speculated January release date is correct or not, it seems that Google has reserved these 2 URLs, /nexusone and /nexus1, for something special.

Stay tuned!
