On Friday, Google handed out mobile phones to their employees, the Google Nexus One, which is now being reported as the much rumored Google Phone that we have heard about over the last few months.

The details on the phone seem to be pretty scarce at the moment, it seems to be physically similar to the HTC passion, without the HTC logo, although it has been reported as being slimmer.

That seems to be about it for details so far, it looks like it runs Android, and features a built in scroll wheel.

There are is no confirmation as yet whether the Google Nexus One is just a Christmas gift to employees, or where this is the actual Google Phone that Google intend to release.
