Here is the Gizmodo's review: http://gizmodo.com/5443835/nexus-one-review?skyline=true&s=i

It is on the same level of the Engadget review, that's what it was sounding strange to me.

Some extracts:

"On paper, those specs are impressive. In actuality, each bit has its own quirk that makes the Nexus One less than perfect and just good.The 5-megapixel camera is built by HTC in such a way that the bezel around the ring juts out noticeably from the otherwise smooth back. The bulge protrudes just enough to either scratch surfaces that it's placed on, like your glass table or your laptop, or even scratch the lens if you're unlucky enough to rub it over something rough. "

"The four touch buttons for homescreen, back, menu and search do have haptic feedback when you hit them, but they're not that phenomenal either. Half the time they don't register a press when you want them to, and the other half of the time they think you're hitting it when you just wrapped your hand around the phone slightly too far."

on live wallpapers: "There's no reason for something like this to exist, and it sucks up your battery unnecessarily, but it might be the single coolest reason to get this phone right now."

on the apps screen: "There's a noticeable lag when you're flipping up, which makes us wish Google had eliminated the effect and let you just scroll through your programs in 2D."

Of course there are some pros in the review (screen and speed)......but it seems a little bit too strong.

What do you think?
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
i am from ohio and i havnt had a problem with it, registers about 90% of what i say to it, just make sure you speak clearly

gizmodo at least reviewed the product after it was released to the public... engadget put their review up after using the test model on the 4th... its hard to honestly review a phone that you have only used for 20 min because you got pissed off at the load time of your horrible website...
[Nexus One General] SANTilt:
The handset warranty from Asurion is $5.99

Some more points:

"You don't get a rocker switch for silencing the phone without looking, like on the Pre or the iPhone, but you can do the same thing quickly from the lock screen by swiping across the screen to the left. (Swiping to the right unlocks the phone.)"

Did they miss the volume button??? During an incoming call, that silences the phone immediately.

-As for multi-touch, I honestly never, and still do not, think it's an issue. Yeah, it's "neat", but in no way is it imperative that a phone has it. Besides, anybody that wants it can soon have it...

-I agree with him on the trackball being almost useless though.

-I haven't had any issues with the haptic buttons. Sometimes I miss a button, but hell, sometimes I drop things as well.

-And the app screen has no slow down for me, in either direction. NO idea what they're on about here.

-Speech to text in SMS and not email is something I hadn't noticed yet. True!

-In my experience, Tmo has some of the best coverage/service around. I've had VZW and ATT recently, and they were pretty bad in SAN. I drove cross country with my G1 last year (ATL-OAK) and had NO issues. Sure, there were a couple small dead spots in BFE, but you get those with ANY service.

I love this phone. No, it's not PERFECT, but what phone is?
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
Now there is an honest view, coming from a previous wmo user...

Though i havnt tried it nor do i use exchange, i have heard good things about an app called Touchdown, though it is 20 bux many reviews say it is well worth the money... just lookin out for my fellow toledo homie and android user :)
[Nexus One General] copualt3:
any window mobile users annoy at android phone application not pulling contacts when punching in their names? i have to hit contacts and find people manually. is that android or it is me?
[Nexus One General] Fuskand:
So I got my Nexus One yesterday. It's a grand phone. Very fast, I love it. Typing is a breeze with Swype, heavily recommend it.
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
No it is not you, I came from wmo as well on my dash... i spent about an hour last night redoing everything in google contacts on my laptop to make it go faster....

the problem occurs because of all your contacts are on your sim card. Android recognizes those numbers and names associated with them as just numbers, the phone number associated with them has to be classified as "mobile" to get them to show up in the drop down... thsi annoyed the **** out of me for texting because on my old phone i never had last names or anything either and i think some things got mixed up when all my facebook friends got dumped into my contacts (a bit ridiculous to be honest since i will never contact prolly 75% of them)

best advice i can give you is get organized and stay organized with everything... it was a painful process but its worth it in the end...
[Nexus One General] copualt3:
thanks, JHaste, i ll be juggling the nexus one and HD2 when tmobile release it and see which one to keep.
[Nexus One General] Warrior2:
When, oh when??

The reviews above suggest the N1 is awesome.

I WANT one and WILL have one should my wife and children have to go without food and clothing for some short time. (I jest!)

But, can anyone tell me when this phone becomes available in the UK?
[Nexus One General] somekindarobit:
How about importing from your sim? Go to contacts, hit menu and then import/export.
[Nexus One General] coolbho3000:
1. I recorded a video at 26 and the specs say 20+

2. Not yet, flash will be released later this year

3. Yes, download a T9 keyboard app from the Android Market
[Nexus One General] JunoonX:
Already tweeted about my review. Take a looksie here if needed. But if one line matters: This is the best Android phone hands down. No second thoughts on buying it :)

Droid versus Nexus versus HD2

So I'm debating whether to switch my Droid for a Nexus One or to wait for an Android version of the HD2 (Leo). Any thoughts? The Nexus doesn't really seem to have much over the Droid. I really wish Google had gone with the HD2....
[Nexus One General] BrooklynAvi:
Right on the front page, Engadget boasts apps for iPhone, WebOS and BlackBerry. Really. None for Android. I'm shocked that their browser tests show that iPhone is better. LMAO. They are haters. The N1 is blazingly fast in everything it does.

BTW, when you spoof the browser to make it look like iPhone, Engadget.com suddenly loads much faster. LOL.
[Nexus One General] gary.lavin:
Nexus One versus Droid

Just over a week ago I was searching for a comparison between these two devices and couldn't find a good one. I gave up on waiting for an Android version of the HD2 and I went ahead and got the N1. Here are my thoughts.

The N1 is definitely sexier, a smaller lighter better looking phone.

IMO the best part of the current HTC devices is HTC's SenseUI and Google chose not to include it. I have resorted to installing the old version of My Beautiful Widget but I miss all the cool integration around contacts. There is some Facebook integration on the N1 but it doesn't work very well. It would be cool if the XDA guys could get SenseUI back.

I don't see much new in the OS other than Live Wallpaper and I really don't see the point of that, who stares at the home screen for extended periods?

I have not seen any speed increase, in fact the Droid feels faster. I have had no lag on the Droid but have waited on the Home screen on the N1. The N1 does have 7 screens. I have also noticed a lag when scrolling through the apps where the N1 freezes for a moment.

In addition the N1 has a known issue around data connectivity and there are many times when a link fails to load a page and you have to refresh, this adds to the N1 apparent lack of speed. Hopefully when this is fixed the N1 may feel faster.

The onscreen keyboard works fine but in landscape mode when you type all you see is the keyboard and to can't refer back to the message you are replying to, you have to either switch to portrait or close the keyboard. On the iPhone you can still see the original message.

Bluetooth on the N1 is not as good as the Droid. I jog with a Bluetooth headset and have to put the N1 in my right pocket or else music skips as I turn my head, no problems on the Droid.

Having said all that my Droid is now on eBay.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
I don't have much experience with the Droid, but from what little I do have, I think it's a great phone. However, some of your issues seem odd to me. When I'm typing a message in landscape (as is often the case), I can see what I'm typing in anything I've tried. Not sure what app you're in when you do this? Anyway, my N1 has 5 screens, not 7. I agree Live Wallpaper is a gimmick more than anything else. I believe it's just intended to show off the capabilities of the processor. As for SenseUI, it's nice. I used it extensively on the G1, which I know doesn't do it justice. The integration is very well implemented... that being said, I personally don't think it's SO MUCH better that I'd be willing to wait 6+ months to receive a software update. The Hero's are still on 1.5, right? Unless HTC can start rolling out updates within a month of a new release, I'd never contemplate switching to Sense. Just my 2 cents.

First impression:

well i couldnt even hold the box still in my hand because i was so excited:D

Umm what more to say then fast fast fast. i was very impressed with the cpu speed compared o my iphone. also was happy to finally go back to multi-tasking which is a major plus. car home works like a charm and i cant wait for move live wallpapers to be created. all thought i have realized that my cpu speed stays at a constant 663 which to me is ****ty since i got a fat 1ghz under the hood! i still need more time and some more work with finding the correct rom that will support my needs. all i really want is speed and a sexy onboard screen! other than that i love this phone!!!! want to get another on just so i can root again!
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Where on earth are you seeing that it's stuck at 663mhz? What app are you using, and how do you know that the app isn't the issue?
[Nexus One General] halfsight:
Here is a link to my owner review...

My Nexus One Review
[Nexus One General] tmotech88:
yea thats what was weird about it. its comming from the app overclock widget in that market, i should have taken a screen shot before i uninstalled its but it was stuck at 663??????? freaked me out so i did a nandroid backup to restore to previous settings, re-installed my MoDaCo built and now its runing correct with setCPU. i have my current setting for wake mode at min 245 and max 528 but i want it to overclock to 550 or even 600mhz( from what some people are saying they have done) am i mising something? what would be the best setting to get the best proformance. yes i already know that the standard cpu speed is fast but i just want to go alittle faster but not push the limits since i have already unlocked the bootloader so no RMA! HELP!!!!!:D
[Nexus One General] gary.lavin:
I can see what I'm typing in landscape but that is all I see. I would like to be able to refer back to the message I'm replying to.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Well I'm the wrong person to ask, because I prefer letting the phone handle processor speeds. I think the phone's already as fast as can be expected and doubt setting your own clockspeeds will make a difference in performance.
[Nexus One General] tmotech88:
good point! thanks man!
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
LMFAO!!!!!! :D

I know EXACTLY what you're talking about.

I listen to NPR podcasts on my way to work, plugged into my car so the sound goes through the car's speakers. And god forbid I get an email, because HOLY ****, the amount of sound is loud enough to shatter the windows along with my ear drums. I learned quickly to put notifications on vibrate if I am going to listen to stuff via my car's speakers :D

As for my take on the N1: my phone's wifi was DOA, so I didn't get a chance to play around with it much. (I mailed it back tonight.) I will say though that it is an extremely sleek device. Feels and looks awesome. The live wallpapers are cool, but I didn't find any one that I liked. There will be more in the future of course.

Is it worth the $575 I paid? ($529 + $45 California tax)

I'd say 80% no.

I'm giving it 1 more try, once they ship a phone back to me, because returning outright for a refund it will mean I have to pay a $45 restocking fee. But if it's broken again, I'm returning it for good. I'll buy it again once the price drops in the future.

But $575? That's a bit much... Very difficult to justify this purchase.
[Nexus One General] wind0zer:
N1 is my first smartphone. I've been eyeing smartphones since 3-4 years but never felt compelled enough to buy until last year I started seeing news about the n97, xperia x10 droid etc. I was waiting for the xperia to come by february and the nexus one dropped like a pleasant surprise. With better ram and amoled. I got the N1 without wasting any time at all! : ) I love it.

I have to admit after using it I cannot recommend it to someone like my grandmother or girlfriend. iPhone probably.

I just read Anand's review at anandtech.com posted a couple of days ago. He has a good take on the whole android and iphone thing. Also a good overview of the chip inside.
[HD2 General] drewX2:
No matter what rom I use, somehow something eventually goes astray (at least I am assuming) or hangs and the phone reboots back to setup.

Sometimes I can go a day or so before it hard resets. I thought maybe it was an isolated rom issue, yet it happens with any room. This also happens to another person I know with a HD2.

Why does this happen? Is there a way to prevent this damn "fail-safe" mechanism? I grow tired of reinstalling all my stuff again and again.
[HD2 General] wynthewun:
Hi DrewX2,

You'll probably find that a program or tweak (or anything that you can install on your phone) is actually causing these "hard resets" and not the device itself.

I have been using a stock Rom for approximately 1 month and my phone has never hard reset. To be honest I think I've just been lucky this time with what I have chosen to install onto my device.

My best advice is to install programs 1 by 1 and test them for a period of time (personally I would be patient and wait for 1 day). That way you can isolate which program is causing the hard reset.

Of course there is a very very slim chance that it could be a hardware fault, but I wouldn't bank on this. Hope this helps :)
[HD2 General] ftr2k8:
Sounds like you have problematic hardware to me. I'd try and get a replacement
[HD2 General] dhamma:
registry changes

i had big problem when activating some apps to do there recomended registry changes ie

Pocket mechanic professional or sktools

so now i only got sktools running but newer edition for other uses not to try and change any registry stuffs.

iv stock rom and it now runs well but im still very reserved and careful as i think i know the pain your experiencing > makes one feel like throwing it out the window
[HD2 General] dlotters:
Try re-flashing to a stock ROM, and see if the problem goes away.
[HD2 General] drewX2:
Thanks for all the responses.

Let's just pretend it is some .cab I have installed (I mostly install a few visual modification cabs).

Does the response my phone is having seem like a normal response? Or does your phone never hard reset because of some .cab that has been installed.

I am gonna lay off on adding new stuff to my phone to see if that can prevent these hard resets.
[HD2 General] Jim Coleman:
Never had my phone do a hard reset in all the many years I've owned Winmo phones, and my HD2 is no exception.

My own guess is it's a hardware issue but nonetheless I'd try running the phone for a few days with minimal or no third party apps on it, just in case one of them is being nasty, but I've never heard of an app spontaneously causing a hard reset, TBH.
[HD2 General] ClownShoes:
It's nothing to do with apps you have intstalled and nothing to do with your device. You say every rom you instal does this, but I'm willing to bet the stock roms aren't?

As I understand it, it's something to do with the implementation of SSPL. My best suggestion to you would be to flash the new Hard SPL and then to be safe flash a stock rom (1.61 for the newest radio) and then flash your custom rom of choice. I can almost guarantee you your problem will be sorted.

Let us know how it goes :)
[HD2 General] Ruudfood:
I had spontaneous hard resets on my X1 with Itje's and Valkyrie's ROMs. Wow, it was annoying. I never pinned it down - mainly because I didn't have the time and needed my phone to be working. I flashed Energy ROMs and never had a problem with any of them.

I've also not had any problems with my Leo but I'm still on 1.48 with only a few visual mods.
[HD2 General] biranouran:
This is a carateristic of Microsoft software.
[HD2 General] ClownShoes:
No it's really not mate! Sorry but that is just unnecessary Microsoft bashing!

I was having exactly the same problems last week and reflashing a stock rom before the custom rom fixed it.
[HD2 General] creed:
Never had this problem!

I've had my phone for about 3 weeks now and have never had this happen even once! I am running a TUR 1.61 ROM which I changed to after a week on stock Tmobile UK ROM
[HD2 General] ClownShoes:
You wouldn't have a problem Creed. The Turkish 1.61 rom is a stock rom.
[HD2 General] drewX2:
I suppose it's time to flash hardspl and perhaps upgrade the radio to see if that will fix it. And yes this only occurs with custom roms to my knowledge (in my case).
[HD2 General] ClownShoes:
Well you should upgrade the radio anyway, because the battery life is much better, but definitely HardSPL and if you want to be safe flash a stock rom before the cooked one and always remember to hard reset after the initial install. It may seem like a pain in the arse, having to do all that, but it sure beats the frustration of unexpected hard resets. ;)

I have tried to set up hotmail on my HD2 as per HTC website instructions

http://www.htc.com/uk/howto.aspx?p_id=297&id=168&page=2

Only stage 5 doesn't appear on my phone and when I have finished I never receive mail to this account even though I know my PC account is receiving mail. What do I do?
[HD2 General] ftr2k8:
Are you sure you're entering your hotmail address correctly? HD2 should pick up on a hotmail or live address. What domain is your address at? If it's a different address set up for a passport it may not work
[HD2 General] tshizzle:
i think you should try thewindows live application from the marketplace. once you have it, you can sync mail...and probably.conracts too.
[HD2 General] FAZ84:
having the similar problem... my account is hotmail.co.uk and when i try to setup it says either pass or id is incorrect but i am 100% sure that pass is correct...is it something to do with .co.uk

help please!!!

thanks
[HD2 General] Archer:
As mentioned by tshizzle - use Windows Live. It automatically sets up your hotmail account when you set that up.

It should be on your phone already, but there's a newer version on the Marketplace.
[HD2 General] FAZ84:
it dosnt work there either...same problem for me atleast
[HD2 General] Archer:
I hate to say this, but you must be entering the information incorrectly.

After entering the information in step 4, can you take a screenshot (use BsB Tweaks if you don't know how to do this), and upload it for us to check for you.

It works for everyone else, so it must be something you're doing.
[HD2 General] weetiebangs:
Hotmail

Can get my .com to sync, but not my .co.uk. Maybe its .uk that as a problem.
[HD2 General] Archer:
I just added a hotmail.co.uk account and it worked for me. Strange problem this is.
[HD2 General] creed:
Hi Timax. I think I know what your problem is. I noticed you are with Tmobile, so am I and I kept running up against the problem where it gets stuck at stage 4 of 5! Very annoying. Apparently it's because Tmobile diverts the service via their proxy server. Follow the instructions in the thread below on post #2 and it should be fixed!

[HD2 General] FAZ84:
what is the incoming/outgoing mail server have you used...what do you put under these boxes?
[HD2 General] MaskedMagi:
My hotmail was set up through LIVE and my inbos is just not being updated, unlike my gmail and outlook ones. I know this becuase I just checked my hotmail account on the computer and I have 3 new emails and this has not been updated on the phone. However when I press send/receive on the phone it does sownload the new emails. Anyone know a way of sorting this out, it's annoying having to do it manually everytime!
[HD2 General] JR1977:
johncmolyneux you rock i had been banging my head for days trying to get my hotmail to work, and the answer was right under my nose. i just needed to update to the new windows live app. man i feel like a dumbass for not going back to basics before jumping into all the other stuff. Thanks a Million bro!!! :)
[HD2 General] cr2069:
I have to agree that it's very hard to make hotmail account working properly, while Gmail, Yahoo! mail work fine.

I've tried so many times and everytime it behaves differently. Once it went through all the mails and get the first mail(many years ago) then stopped working. Once I setup through Windows live, it took me to the Windows Live web page then stopped at there...very frustrated...

Now, at last, it works like a charm--but I have no idea how I did it since I've done so many times, each time is a little different and I am totally confused...

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chinpokomon:
You need the latest refresh of the drivers (and tools for updated fastboot, etc.) from the SDK. If you go to a Windows command prompt and run Android, assuming the tools directory is in your path, you can select the update for both. It will fail in updating tools, since you are using an app in it, but don't close the app, just reapply at that point and it will work on the second go. Then when you install the N1, you will have the drivers you need to install as before.

Not meaning to argue with you but what I was saying is I have had no issues doing anything via adb with it as a magic I have done fastboot as well hey maybe its just working for me.
