The Google Nexus One launch has become the most controversial and confusing Android handset launch to date. With publicity "leaks" over the holiday season, the Nexus One handset received unprecedented buzz. This same hype helped create the expectation of a revolutionary Android handset and its potential to be an iPhone killer.
