New photos and a hands-on description have compared Google’s custom-built Nexus One handset, rumored to be for sale to the public next month, with Apple’s iPhone.

Jason Chen of Gizmodo received some hands-on time with the hardware thanks to an anonymous source. He called the long-rumored, supposed Google Phone a “Droid killer” — ironic, because Motorola attempted to position its Droid, which launched in November, as an “iPhone killer.”

Chen said the Nexus one is slightly thinner and lighter than the iPhone 3GS. The back is somewhat rubbery, and feels less “cheap,” he said, than the iPhone’s plastic back.

“You can call the design the antithesis of the Droid: smooth, curved, and light, instead of hard, square and pointy,” he said. “It feels long and silky and natural in your hand — even more so than the iPhone 3GS.”
