Unlocked Google Nexus One Android 2.1 by HTC
Be the first to own this phone in Australia!
Have a look at the wiki on whirlpool for info about getting one yourself rather than from 1saleDay. You could save yourself $125, but you need to have some good proxy foo and there are many steps in the process…

Also I wouldn't expect them to have a lot of stock so get it sooner rather than later, but be aware you are paying a premium price here for convenience.
This is cut 'n paste from 1saleDay…
The Nexus One features a 3.7in AMOLED display, with a 800x480 resolution. The screen has a 100,000:1 contrast ratio and a response time of 1ms. It has an illuminated trackball which can emit different colors of light based on the type of notification being received. The phone has two microphones, one on the front and one on the back, to enable noise cancellation to reduce background noise during phone conversations. A standard 3.5 mm headphone jack is also provided.
The phone features a 1 GHz Qualcomm 8250 processor, 512 MB of RAM, a 4 GB microSD card, 512 MB of internal Flash storage, a 5MP auto-focus camera with LED flash and digital zoom, GPS receiver, light and proximity sensors, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, and 802.11b/g/n Wifi capabilities. It provides hardware decoding for H.263, H.264 and MPEG-4 video, and is capable of playing MP3, AAC+, Ogg Vorbis, WAV, and MIDI audio, and displaying the JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP image formats. It has a standard micro USB port rather than the proprietary HTC connector, and the microSD card slot allows expansion up to 32 gigabytes of card storage. Applications can only be installed to the 512MB internal flash memory, of which 190MB are available for that purpose. During unveiling, it was mentioned that Google might eventually lift this restriction after addressing security issues.
The phone weighs 130 grams (4.6 oz), with a height of 119 millimetres (4.7 in), a width of 59.8 millimetres (2.35 in), and a depth of 11.5 millimetres (0.45 in). It is powered by a removable 1400 mAh battery, expected to last up to 290 hours on standby, 10 hours talk time, or 5 hours while browsing the internet.

I have ordered one of these directly from google myself, and it is a bit of a nightmare to get hold of one to be honest. Mine worked out at $700 even, but a load of hassle. eBay prices are similar or more than this. Cheapest you can get them for directly is around $685 depending on the exchange rate, and that is a big big hassle to do.
