Today’s the day that Google is expected to officially announce its Nexus One Android phone, custom built by HTC.  The details & rumors have been swirling for over two months now, & Google is expected to make some waves today, just two days before CES kicks off.  According to the link above, the press conference is scheduled to begin at 10am PST, so to tide you over until then, why don’t you read Engadget’s official review?  Lots of good stuff in there, including a side-by-side-by-side web browser loading times with the Droid and iPhone.

The AT&T Tilt 2 (aka HTC TouchPro 2) and Pure (aka HTC Diamond 2) should be showing up at AT&T very soon.  Both phones will feature the new Windows Mobile 6.5 and an enhanced version of TouchFLO.  The Touch 2 should carry a price of about $300 after rebates and a 2 year contract and the Pure should run about half that, $150, after rebates and 2 year contract.

The original Tilt and it’s older siblings have been my choice for WinMo phones for the past 5+ years, until I picked up a 3G iPhone, so I’m looking forward to spending some quality time with the Tilt 2 in the very near future — perhaps it’ll sway me back over to the WinMo side of the fence.

EngadgetMobile’s got a shot up of the HTC Touch Pro 2 complete with AT&T branding.  This photo follows news that AT&T will be releasing the device as the “Tilt 2,” following the HTC Kaiser’s branding.  The Tilt 2 is listed as “pre-launch,” which means that we could be seeing it soon… or not.  Also no official word on a 3.5mm jack yet.  Hopefully we’ll get some more photos between now & launch.  The photo confirms that the Tilt 2 will hit with WM6.5 (note the lock screen).

Speaking of WM6.5, PocketNow has posted a new video that details some very cool features of Microsoft’s latest build:
