The Nexus One, Google’s secret smartphone isn’t out yet but is already generating a lot of buzz online.
Endgadget’s Chris Ziegler said on Wednesday that the Nexus One will be available on January 5th on an invite-only basis to start. “Our tipster doesn’t have information on how those invites are going to be determined, other than the fact that it’s Google doing the inviting — if we had to guess, current registered developers are a strong possibility,” he wrote.

Also on Wednesday, Gizmodo’s Jason Chen wrote about a “clandestine meeting with a source” who allowed him to give the Nexus One a test run, to the tune of a rave review. Mr. Chen went so far as to call it “Google’s Droid killer,” and wrote that, in comparison to Motorola’s Droid, “it’s thin, it’s fast, it’s better in every way.”
