Google’s first phone and also the device that made Android a household name today, was the Nexus One and since those days, we’ve seen the Android platform grow leaps and bounds with great interest from consumers and developers alike. No doubt the Google Nexus One was a huge it, which went on to lay the foundations of Google’s latest device, the Nexus S.

However, earlier this year, it may have come as a shock to many Nexus One buffs as the device was officially discontinued as of this summer. Regardless of that, Nexus One users rejoice as the device is going to be updated with the latest version of Android, version 2.3 or Gingerbread as it is more commonly known. When? Google Nexus Twitter account answers that question in a Tweet shown in the picture above.

This HTC manufactured, Google branded device has undoubtedly been one of the most powerful Android powered device in the market which initially came with Android 2.1 and it was still the first device that was updated to Froyo, or Android 2.2, and if this “coming weeks” time window is actually true, the Nexus One will then also be one of the first few devices that will be running Android 2.3, or Gingerbread, in the market.
