Fast and lurrrvely.

I like the form, the screen brightness and color vividness is great. (coming from a G1 BTW)

I've stuck my most used apps on there and everything is much quicker.

I was worried about going from the G1's slide out keyboard to just using the on screen keyboard as on the G1 I thought the screen was a bit too narrow and thankfully the slightly wider screen does improve things tremendously, I can actually type quite fast.

I've installed a business application which I'm currently developing and really glad I did the upgrade before showing the demo to my customer using the G1. It is much more responsive and impressive. And nice to finally have a decent camera on a HTC phone for once!

So all in all very happy indeed.

Would still like an apology from google for their non existant customer support though
[Nexus One General] rmd77:
Just got it :D makes the iPhone 3GS im replacing look like a antique :p Its great ive took a couple of pics of the snow ect and havent noticed any pinkness :( thats really unlucky though to get a device with a problem .
[Nexus One General] m00moo:
yea but it seems alot of people have the same issue. Try chargin your unit and then try again. I've gotten another problem now that i cannot get the mobile internet working!! :mad:
[Nexus One General] n0ahg:
Great, I phoned up at lunch time to tell them that make sure they had the correct address and the nice lady said it would be OK even though I pointed out that part of the post code was missing. I have now gotten an update saying incomplete address and I have had to contact dhl at my expense again.

Just got a call back and it is now to late to deliver today.
[Nexus One General] n0ahg:
No phone for me today :-(
[Nexus One General] n0ahg:
I was told by one lady at dhl that if the driver had any problems he'd ring me and she confirmed my phone number then later a different woman said it was against procedure for a driver to ring. If only google got the damn address correct.

Anyone still waiting, I'd recommend using the email tracker and if the post code is wrong then to contact dhl and insist they update the details. Some drivers can work it out if they have a problem, some can't :-(
[Nexus One General] neilosb:
worth the wait, its a flying machine.

show it to an iphone user, ther press a couple of buttons, passit back n say, its quick.

and then appear to be quiet.
[Nexus One General] Nieda:
Could someone please post the exact cost of the device with shipping to UK? I live in Germany and want to send money to a friend of mine, so he can order one for me.

The unlocked version should work with every 3G network?

[Nexus One General] m3t4tr0n:
From my online bank statement:

Of course this wont include any VAT or other duty bill the UK customs may add on top, but will have to wait for that.
[Nexus One General] electricdemon:
I got mine this morning, also got a dent in my car, parked outside my work. :( The bloody DHL driver went into the side of my car when he was driving away! :eek:

Phone on charge right now whilst I'm on hold with DHL's insurance company. :rolleyes:
[Nexus One General] n0ahg:
No update on dhl website so I just phoned them and they 'forgot' to put it on the van today so unless I can pick it up I won't get it until Monday.
[Nexus One General] n0ahg:
Without charger,

12Jan GOOGLE *Nexus One google.com/ch CA £357.02
[Nexus One General] Nieda:
Thanks for the price. Can you please confirm that the unlocked device works in any 3G network without any limitations?
[Nexus One General] n0ahg:

[Nexus One General] Neo-Dragon:
i just got mine, and stuck on 02 sim in and it's saying I'm not on a registered network.

I actually bought this off ebay, not google, so I'm just wondering how to activate my phone.
[Nexus One General] n0ahg:
DHL are incompetent, apparently my parcel is now on a van again :-/

Just looked on xe.com and 558.65 USD = 342.819 GBP today. Perhaps I need to check with my bank what conversion rate they used.

EDIT: the bank used a conversion rate of 1.564 on 13th when the payment was taken, I just rang them to check.
[Nexus One General] efeltee:
All phones are sold unlocked so this is really weird...

Okay but why would someone would the AC adapter? :p
[Nexus One General] n0ahg:
To charge the phone? ;-)

AC chargers are higher current than the 500mA available from USB and therefore will charge the phone faster. I didn't order a charger as I have plenty around the house.
[Nexus One General] m3t4tr0n:
Oh, and its microUSB not extUSB like all my previous HTC phones, so I dont actually have a charger anyway !
[Nexus One General] :
Get an ipod charger and plug the usb into that. It will work fine :D
[Nexus One General] n0ahg:
I'll just plug mine into the front of my popcorn hour ;-)

Edit: if I ever get the damn thing!
[Nexus One General] grandmasterethel:
Just got mine, although I should have had it yesterday, but DHL decided my postcode didn't exist. It existed today though :D Just plugged it in, and am watching and waiting for that charge light to turn green.... :rolleyes:
[Nexus One General] nyzrox:
90% takes couple of hours
[Nexus One General] n0ahg:
They now claim they tried to deliver 1 1/2 hours ago. I live in a block of flats which logs the door entry codes so after pointing that out and the cctv they are coming back lol.

Edit: It's made it! On charge now and will play later :-)
[Nexus One General] andrewrees:
Silly question..

Did anyone receive any information regarding the VAT we have to pay with the box itself, or do they just post out the invoice later without warning?
[Nexus One General] n0ahg:
No, you will receive a bill directly from DHL as they have already 'covered' the tax
[Nexus One General] TallPaul86:
Well this was surely an epic read!!!

So who here is happy with their N1's initial performance so far? I've been in two minds as to whether i should risk it all and wait patiently on a Nexus One to replace my BlackBerry Storm 2 or get the HTC Magic and await the eventual release of Android 2.0 for it...

I'm on the Vodafone network so would appreciate those who have a Nexus One on Vodafone to report their findings if they could please although all other network subscribers are considered also as my contract runs out fairly soon and wanna decide on a future proof Android phone :cool:
[Nexus One General] firedup:
It certainly is an epic - has to be my post popular thread!

Re:VAT. I ordered 4 of these altogether (seperately on different days) and sold 3 for a small profit on ebay to help pay for the cost of mine. Only 1 of them had the plastic document wallet interfered with and in it they placed a letter saying I could expect and invoice to be posted out to me within the next few weeks for £59.61.

The other 3 didnt have such a letter and the plastic wallet was in tact. I have been wondering (hoping) that this might mean I only get charged VAT for one of them. Anyone else had such a letter stuffed inside?

Re: Vodafone - I stuck in a contract SIM and it configured the APM automatically. Works fine so far although havent tested 3G yet as not in a 3G area.
[Nexus One General] Abbsta:
Mine didn't and I'm contract SIM as well. It only configured WAP settings and I had to enter APN manually.
[Nexus One General] firedup:
Mmmm I wonder if mine are correct then?

What are your APN settings?
[Nexus One General] nyzrox:
Mine setup all ok fine on T-Mobile 30day contract sim.
[Nexus One General] andrewrees:
Switched from my Touch Pro 2 to an N1, and couldn't be happier with it so far! None of the reported 3G issues on T-Mobile UK either, everything set up quickly and works a treat!
[Nexus One General] Abbsta:
Name: Whatever you like

APN: Internet

Username: web

password: web

Everything else just left as is. After you've entered the details and come out then you need to select it instead of the WAP setting.
[Nexus One General] firedup:
OK thanks will give that a try
[Nexus One General] htcmagic:
Ordered mine on 7 January and got it on 12th January.

I gave my old htc magic vodafone to my wife.

I love the nexus, its superfast and its a superphone.
[Nexus One General] hsd:
So what is the average time for delivery when ordering in the UK?
[Nexus One General] gadgetgaz:
I don't know about the average but mine came super quick! I ordered it on Wednesday morning about 10am on the 20th Jan.

The DHL guy was knocking on my door Friday afternoon at 4.30.

A UK company might struggle to beat that!
[Nexus One General] hsd:
Thankyou, wow that was realy quick. Ive imported stuff off ebay before thats taken week and didnt realy want to be waiting that long for my new phone.
[Nexus One General] yans:
I ordered mine on Monday night and it arrived Friday morning in my hands at 11am! amazing stuff!

I was frantically watching my tracking number on the DHL site!

God love her...... RiP iPhone :)
[Nexus One General] Raymond77:
Mine arrived a week after ordering it.

Overall I'm very happy, however the touchscreen issue is really starting to nark me off. I'm in the middle of deleting some text from a text message, and all of a sudden I'm adding in smileys or carriage returns, it's really annoying!

The sooner a firmware fix comes out the better.

Also, the battery life can be pretty crap; after 8 hours I'm usually down to about 35%, when it's done nothing but sit on my desk at work. At other times it'll go all day and be will into the 15 hour range before dropping to 40%.
[Nexus One General] stewart1988:
How long before I receive my VAT invoice?

Got my phone January 13 and still not received anything...

I had all the paperwork still on the box does that matter? I read that people had it removed from the box.
[Nexus One General] redmongoose:
I got mine a couple of days before you. All paperwork was in the box.

I asked at the branch about the VAT when I collected it but they said there would none to pay :(

I asked about being invoiced later he said I wouldn't be. I was a bit surprised by this but like you I haven't received anything.....fingers crossed
[Nexus One General] stewart1988:
Looks like we got lucky! I see on some other forums they recieved invoices less than a week after recieving their N1!

:) fingers crossed no invoice goes through my letter box! :)
[Nexus One General] Redant:
Well ive had mine for over tweeks and have not seen anything yet.... heres hoping...:D
[Nexus One General] nyzrox:
Same, i read it about Duty and ignored it. If they dont send me a letter im not paying it. simple as.
[Nexus One General] Abbsta:
I got my VAT invoice today from DHL.

VAT: £60.15 + Admin Fee: £1.25

Total: £61.40
[Nexus One General] nyzrox:
After how long did you have the phone?
[Nexus One General] stinkypete:
Had mine since Jan 15th, placed order on the 10th and just got my import duty today of £60 from DHL. In total

I am having a little bit of buyers remorse. I'm disappointed that it still feels like the OS is still in alpha
[Nexus One General] nyzrox:
Ah i see. I ordered on 6th, had mine since around the 11th i think! No letter for invoice just what was on the box, I think in the end everyone will have to pay it.
[Nexus One General] M..N:
Does anyone have an idea about the vodafone release data for the nexus one.
[Nexus One General] spr33:
I got my invoice today, just under £60. I've already had to shell out £78 to replace a cracked screen :(
[Nexus One General] Abbsta:
Got it on 13th Jan.
[Nexus One General] Abbsta:
I feel the same way. I'm into minds whether to hold on to it or sell it.
[Nexus One General] hsd:
Warning VAT

DHL attempted delivery today but because their was no one at home to pay the VAT bill the driver had to refuse delivery.

They are coming again tomorrow but had I known it was cash on delivery I would have left necessary funds.
[Nexus One General] nyzrox:
Got my VAT invoice today =(
[Nexus One General] imfloflo:
What happens if you don't paid it to DHL ?
[Nexus One General] duncan888:
Just ordered mine last night as the news of Multi touch update came out, but payment was initialy blocked by my credit card, but I've called them up and resubmitted the payment. Now the status has been on 'Retry in progress' for the past 20 hours.

Quite sure Google have kinda taken the money as my remaining credit limit on my card has reducted by about £355.

How long is it going to stay on 'Retry in progress'???

Should I get a email when the status changes? So I don't have to keep checking. What is the next stage?

3 Feb

You'll get an email with a DHL tracking number when your order gets shipped.
[Nexus One General] duncan888:
thanks for the info, my order has been shipped and is in East Midlands at the moment,

hopefully a Monday delivery, cant wait
[Nexus One General] duncan888:
hum.. mines been stuck at east midlands since 12:34am sat morning.

do DHL work on the weekend, thought it would have at least ship it to the local depot.

3:42 am Processed at DHL Location. Cincinnati Hub, OH
[Nexus One General] Abbsta:
There are another 2 steps at East Midlands which are processed and departed. Don't worry your main issue would have been getting it shipped from OH.

If they don't work tomorrow, you'll have Monday morning. Mine left E. Midlands at 2:37am and was at my door before 10am after stopping at Heathrow.
[Nexus One General] duncan888:
Mine was still at 'Clearance processing complete at East Midlands' this morning at 8am, it seemed to have missed the last 2 steps in east midlands and has gone directly to 'With delivery courier' at 8:42am. I thought it wasn't going to be delivered today so I've gone into work!! I'm gonna miss the delivery now!!!
[Nexus One General] stewart1988:
Same here! £59 and I also got my new N1 today as well! :)
[Nexus One General] duncan888:
Got mine yesterday, the screen is so nice!!
[Nexus One General] Abbsta:
Nice...thought so as you post again. :p
[Nexus One General] redmongoose:
Doesn't say when it needs to be paid by though ;)
[Nexus One General] Highland3r:
Just a quick Q for the UK guys who've recieved theirs recently...

Are you having to pay VAT/Import up front or are the bills coming in a few weeks after the N1 has arrived?

Seem to recall reading somewhere that some people had to cough up the cash on delivery rather than getting a bill through the post. Mostly interested as I'd like to get the phone delivered to work and I'm not sure reception would take kindly to a random courier demanding cash :P
[Nexus One General] m3t4tr0n:
Mine and everyone else I have seen talk about it from DHL has come through the post weeks later.
[Nexus One General] simonsidhilton:
if it has arrived you shouldn't have any tax or duty as they will hold the item till you have paid duty i had to pay 70 quid
[Nexus One General] Highland3r:
Thanks for the confirmation!

Ordering later today in that case :D
[Nexus One General] andymck:
1 month and 2 days in fact.

£61.40

no duty but vat and dhl handling fee
[Nexus One General] gettons:
Hi folks,

I got mine yesterday.

It looks pretty cool then.

I had not to pay any money to the courier, but I ll expect it very soon. :-(
[Nexus One General] Highland3r:
Ordered weds afternoon, it's out for delivery today.

Gutted, off on hols today - back monday! Was hoping it'd take a little longer so it wasn't sat in the office lonely waiting for my return!
[Nexus One General] r8zer:
ohhhh YES JUST GOT MINE 2DAY!!!, ordered monday 8th feb came friday 12th feb, awsome, lucky my wife was inn, SWEET!!!:D
[Nexus One General] cyborg_001:
DHL sucks a&&!!

Mine was scheduled for delivery today but the DHL flight was delayed 100 minutes last night so they sent my phone to heathrow from east midlands and said they'll deliver monday!!

Another guy whose phone was on same flight got it delivered today in somerset...I'm in London and this sucks...was waiting so eagerly.

Will try pick up at hounslow depot tomorrow if they allow but for sure my girlfriend seems happy as this means she gets all my attention on valentine's day ;P

Blimey!!! That was an very expensive cargo on that DHL aircraft
[Nexus One General] Hasilpuri:
Thats very good then i dont have to worry about sending it back.

Now i'll have to think wat to engraved on it.
[Nexus One General] tallen3:
Rubbish service from Google

I'm truly feed up now, still no news, no change on My status and I ordered on the 5th minutes after the announcement. I've emailed them twice and all I've had is automated replies. I'm not very happy with the customer service I can't seem to get through to a real person. I'm beginning to think I should just stay with my Hero.:(
[Nexus One General] andymck:
mine has now got to Manchester (5.41 this morning), the worst part about waiting for it to show as out for delivery is that the international sorting facility is about 1/2 a mile from me
[Nexus One General] finisterre:
Arrived at Heathrow from East Midlands at 6.29 a.m. this morning.

With Delivery Courier at 7.46 a.m.

Delivered to my door in Central London at 08.38 a.m.

I was quite surpised it did the last leg so quickly.
[Nexus One General] TonyHoyle:
Mine should be in Manchester but it's sat in Birmingham because apparently although google put UK on the address they put Switzerland in the country (separate, according to DHL) so it's stuck until I phone up after 9am to release it. :mad:

I'll have to pick it up otherwise I'm stuck until Monday.
[Nexus One General] finisterre:
The shipping documents in the see-through plastic stick-on bit on top of the box had been removed on mine. Presumably DHL took them to sort out the VAT/duty etc.

Is this the same for other UKers?
[Nexus One General] TDiDaddy:
Just arrived...

Reception at the office took delivery of it about 30 mins ago. Just letting it warm up before I charge it as it was icy cold being on the delivery van in these sub-zero temperatures.

One cool thing is I didn't specify the UK adapter to save $20 and avoid the additional 6% import duty on accessories and it had one in the box. Sweet!.

As the previous poster said, the clear envelope was empty so DHL can sort the VAT etc.

Looks nice compared to my Voda Magic. A lot thinner but wider.

Warm up damn it!!
[Nexus One General] andymck:
Mine's out for delivery at the mo!! :D:D
[Nexus One General] nyzrox:
Same. However mine says as below.

Mine is exactly the same.

Ive called my bank, and they have confirmed the payment.

The money has also gone from my account too.

This is a response from a google employee posted on their help forum:

I think some people in the US got their N1 without receiving shipping emails but not sure about the UK.
[Nexus One General] daleski75:
Mines now 40 hours or more with credit card declined - retrying.
[Nexus One General] KK43:
just got mine, was hoping it would be later today as won't get a chance to play around till later tonight!
[Nexus One General] Abbsta:
Did you have any problems when placing the order? and did you get shipping details?
[Nexus One General] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
So it's the same as the US phone then ATM, not shipping with Multitouch supported in the native apps, the article states the phone will support multitouch in native apps. I'm assuming from what you've stated is that it will only be the Vodafone branded Nexus One that will support multitouch in the native apps. The phone has always been capaable of multitouch google just wasn't supporting it in native applications in USA.
[Nexus One General] nyzrox:

ooohhh its lovely!!!!!!!!!!

Have never moved so fast to answer the door!!!
[Nexus One General] daleski75:
Pretty much the same as mine!!
[Nexus One General] KK43:
Yes my credit card got declined, had to call the card company and tell them it's a genuine transaction and then it went through fine. Day after I got DHL tracking details.
[Nexus One General] trickyhenry:
Same .. seems those of us that had to update our cards are not seeing anything!!! omg this is annoying. Payment not come out of account either!

Stick or twist?
[Nexus One General] daleski75:
Just got this reply after I emailed them asking them if my credit card has definitely worked.

Hi Dale,

Yes I would like to confirm that you credit card has been charged and you

will be receiving the phone shortly.

Regards,

Ruchi

Still no update on the order status though so maybe sometime tonight or over the weekend it will suddenly jump to shipped.
[Nexus One General] austinchimp:
Disappointed

I think I must be going for some kind of record, I ordered 21:00 5th of Jan, and still haven't received shipping confirmation! No engraving or anything, just that damned "Credit card declined - Retry in progress" status. I've had numerous automatic replies from Google, but none of them directly addressing the problems I've been having.

Very annoying, frustrating, and likely to put me off ever buying direct from Google again.

I may just be being impatient, but it's not what you expect when buying the most advanced smart phone in the world from one of the world's most advanced tech companies!

EDIT

I have called my card company, they said there has been no hold up from their end, the payment has been authorised, but Google haven't taken the money yet!
[Nexus One General] KK43:
Have you called your credit card company to confirm it's gone through? When I had that status my card company kept the transaction on hold until I called and confirmed it's legit (first card I tried failed instantly, second one as described)
