After what has likely seemed like an eternity to prospective Nexus One owners currently under contract with AT&T or Rogers, or hoping to use Google's flagship Android phone on either of those networks, a new version of the Google Nexus One that supports AT&T and Rogers 3G bands (850/1900/2100 MHz) is now available.

Rumor has it that a Verizon Wireless compatible version of the Nexus One could launch as early as March 23. Google is expected to announce availability at the Spring CTIA show in Las Vegas starting on the same date.

This makes sense as Google has previously stated that the Nexus One would come to Verizon sometime in the spring. The phone will launch on the Android Store and presumably at Verizon Wireless retail outlets. Pricing has not been announced, but will likely fall near the current subsidized price of $179 on T-Mobile.

Now the iPhone is not the only multi-touch contender in the smartphone contest. Google has released a software update for the Nexus One Android 2.1 handset that activates all of the finger gesture goodness of multi-touch.

Google maps, photo gallery, and the web browser will all support multi-touch with the new software update. This includes pinching and zooming with all of the typical two-fingered gestures that will make the Nexus One interface that much more intuitive and smooth.

Not yet. However, Adobe is already running Flash 10.1 on the Nexus One. We're sure the company will continue testing and T-Mobile will issue a software update one day soon that will add full Flash functionality to the Nexus One.

Stay tuned for more updates. As soon as we hear more about Adobe's progress we'll post it here.

Many users have reported issues with their Nexus One touch screen. This is the most popular topic in Google support forums after 3G issues.

Problems include touch screen calibration issues such as registering the wrong keys when pressed, and screens not responding to touch at all.

Until Google comes up with a permanent software fix try the following:

• Sometimes putting the Nexus One to sleep and immediately turning it back on helps.
  

Although the community feedback in regards to the latest Android smartphone, the Google Nexus One, has been overwhelmingly positive, one area in regards to which users have not been glowing is the Nexus One's 3G connectivity. Since the release of the device on January 5, 2010, owners have complained of spotty 3G coverage and intermittent, unreliable 3G connectivity.

Until recently, the jury was out on what was the cause of the 3G hiccups the Nexus One was experiencing. Early reports were unclear as to whether the device hardware, device software, or T-Mobile's network were to blame. Based on information released today by Google -- the blame seems to fall, at least partially, with the Nexus One's software.

A recent update by Google indicates that they have found a shortcoming in the device software and are

Android (as of 2.1) doesn't handle iCal or Exchange meeting requests out of the box. In order to accept or deny meeting/appointment requests, you'll need to install an Android application called Touchdown via the Android Marketplace.

Unfortunately, Touchdown isn't free. It costs $19.99, so for now you'll have to cough up $20 for improved Exchange integration on Android.

There are a few rumors out there that Google is actively working on improving Android's Exchange support, but no confirmations.

Yes.

Google officially announced it would be bringing a CDMA version of the Nexus One to Verizon in the US.

No exact release date has been set, but the phone is expected in spring of 2010.

No, the Google Nexus One can not utilize AT&T's 3G network due to a lack of support for AT&T's 3G band.

Please see this post for more information.

No, unfortunately not.

The Nexus One does not support the band Rogers uses for 3G data.
