Anyone seen this?

Looks pretty good: Nexus One review -- Engadget

Wanna try this when or if it gets to Australia.

Looks nice and I bet it runs fast. Everything from Google is quick and efficient - good engineers.

 

[ClockworkSoldier]

It's running the 1GHz Snapdragon CPU with 512 ram and rom (separate).

Should prove fast... Only thing, it's not multi-touch .

Comparison charts @ TechCrunch;

24 Month Ownership Cost of iPhone Nearly 50% Higher Than Nexus One

It is also 50% cheaper than the iPhone on 24 month plan.
I own a Hiptop so dunno how it compares lol..

 

[Aquawhite]

It seems like a cool phone.

How to post youtube vid?

Using http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvzxZ8tOBcQ as an example

Type {youtube}(youtube address){/youtube}.

Replace {} with [].

You don't need the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= part of the address, just the ending characters, the hvzxZ8tOBcQ part.

Remember, replace {} with [].

It looks like this; {youtube}hvzxZ8tOBcQ{/youtube}

I wonder how the Nexus One works with just general speed of use in songs, text and the alike functions... if there is an annoying start-up time or so on.

FYI, the Wikipedia page has some good info:
Nexus One - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Actually I'm in Hong Kong right now (one of the places that Google ships to atm =P), but I don't think I'll get it so soon when it's likely to be buggy and in a sort of experimental stage.

It is multi-touch, Android Eclair supports multi-touch, its just the apps that come with the phone don't. Plenty of keyboards/other apps you can download from Android marketplace which support multi touch

I'd be wary if I were you. I like google stuff because it is fast, but I don't like them because google collects information that can identify a device, like google does with chromium.

I'd go Personal security > speed.

Like everyone says: safety first.

What is that even supposed to mean? Fwiw, google had nothing to do with the design. Google HTC Passion or HTC Bravo and see what you get. The design is purely HTC, google is just getting behind it to get Android out on the market.



I'll be importing one tomorrow night. Was hanging for an iPhone for about a month or so, then looked up the specs of this and was reasonably impressed. Having seen pics that the camera puts out as well as real world battery life figures, and not to mention the price, decision was pretty easy.

Nexus One gets a software update, enables multitouch (updated with video!) -- Engadget

 

[Azamakumar]

bought mine on thursday, should be here friday

 

[Azamakumar]

got mine today
fucking brilliant piece of work this is

 

[Azamakumar]

had it for ~48hrs,
thoughts:


cons: cannot connect to ad hoc networks, only access points
camera is impressive but really nothing special
pales in comparison to my 5 year old ipod in terms of sound output (frequency response and volume)

pros: everything else

 

[Riet]

apparently it will do ad hoc soon

I was tossing up between buying this or the Nokia N900. In the end, the reviews all said "it's a tie" and I decided to go with the N900 because it has a) Full desktop-level Flash support, b) a full desktop web browser, not the shitty mobile one Android has, c) it is based on Debian Linux (which means it can do pretty much ANYTHING a desktop can do, unlike Android), d) it has a keyboard, e) it has powerful multitasking support.

Edit: Though I think I'll dual-boot my N900 with Android.

I think they were just trying to sound smart....

Oh and there may be a competitor soon for the Nexus Watch Out, Nexus One: Here's HTC's Incredible Phone - PCWorld
