"Sometime 2010" is when Vodafone Hutchison Australia has said it would commence selling Google's new touchscreen handset, Nexus One.

On the heels of an agreement between Vodafone Group and Google that was announced yesterday, the local arm, VHA, has confirmed it will be selling the device to Australians at some stage this year.

"Our agreement with Google covers all Vodafone geographies," VHA said in a statement. "Details relating to Vodafone's Australian launch of Google Nexus One will be announced in due course."

The Australian Financial Review reported VHA chief executive Nigel Dews as saying it would need to optimise its network to ensure all of Google's services available on the device worked. Google's device, which runs its Android 2.1 smartphone operating system on an HTC corporation device, offers similar applications to Apple's iPhone, including email, Google Maps and support for Microsoft Exchange.

VHA said it would launch the phone in the UK within weeks, followed by other European countries.

I have purchased a Nexus One and I find they are a fantastic phone and are even better than the iPhone. I am currently with TPG Mobile which uses the Optus network and haven't had any issues here in Perth.

@ Tupaea, I've found the same on Optus. The Nexus one cruises along even on data while brousing the internet. I used to have a voda 3G broadband connection, and it totally sucked balls.

Voda needs a major overhaul, and quickly. For anyone interested, if you want a Nexus One via ebay from the US, buy the T-mobile version as it supports 2100/1900 Mhz 3G same as Voda and Optus (and Three). If you want it to work on Telstra, buy the AT&T version which supports 850Mhz 3G.

what about Telstra... i know everyone seems to hate them, but seriously i cannot fault the speeds i currently get and also the excellent connections - always first time rarely drop a call, seem to always have a signal...have got 3G... so why wont telstra take nexus one? do they think it more a younger person phone - not business enough for them? i think someone should reconsider.
