Google's Nexus One reviewed, how does it stack up?
Recently, Engadget got a review of Google's first handset, the Nexus One. Even though the device will come to T-Mobile first, followed by Verizon and Vodafone in the Spring, we're all interested as to how it preforms. As a whole, the Nexus One is a pretty capable smartphone, according to Engadget, which is pretty normal we guess, having in mind its powerful hardware. In addition, if the DROID's sharp edges weren't exactly your cup of tea, then it seems the Nexus One will appeal to you more with its smooth lines. On the software front, the Nexus is running Android 2.1 (Flan), as it became clear yesterday on the event, which unfortunately, doesn't seem to bring a lot of new stuff, Engadget reports. Ultimately, it looks like the HTC Nexus One is a very high-end device, very well-made, but isn't a game-changer, as some have hoped.

We at PhoneArena will also be doing a full review of the Google Nexus One, so expect it soon!

Too bad there's no planned version for AT&T or I'd totally get it.

If you wanted it bad enough, you could just buy the unlocked version and activate it on AT&T.

nvm. I guess you can't. Earlier phone arena article said you could. Wow, guess I should read everything they write before thinking something they write is true. lol

Actually you could probably activate it thruwww.google.com/phone but I really want the 3G working.

8. hmcougar09 posted on 05 Jan 2010, 19:05

Switch to Verizon and just get the Droid!

14. Fanboys Suck posted on 05 Jan 2010, 20:18

Haha! I guess, huh? That's pretty funny.

Yeah, baby... I'm in when it comes to Verizon in the spring! w00t! Can't wait! I'm glad I waited and didn't get the DROID!

i agree, i'm totally getting this phone, BUT, the differences between the nexus and droid are minimal. nexus is a tad faster and a lot sleeker but thats about it :( If they released it at the 4.3 in screen we originally thought it wouldve been SWEEEEEET

I agree with both of you.. been waiting for a decent full touch screen smartphone with excellent colors for videos and pictures. Dont like the droid.. too bulky and slide out keyboard.

11. vzw fanman posted on 05 Jan 2010, 19:26

the droid is not bulky what are you talking about?? the kayboard is amazing.

18. techie123 posted on 06 Jan 2010, 00:02

yeah! at this level of thinness even a millimeter or two makes a difference - i'll do without the keyboard, especially since this phone comes with pretty good speech recognition (reports suggest 90% accuracy). i'm waiting for this phone to come out on VZW

10. Galen20K posted on 05 Jan 2010, 19:19

It's a Fantastic Phone, I"m going to have fun using it!

13. VZW-COSTOMER posted on 05 Jan 2010, 20:07

if this phone had a qwerty key board it would be a awsome phone

17. techie123 posted on 05 Jan 2010, 23:59

forget the keyboard - this phone is awesome without one! if you need the keyboard get the moto-droid...

16. T DAWGv12 posted on 05 Jan 2010, 23:04

This phone does have a qwerty keyboard and a different name to go with it-DROID. No thanks on the Nexus One and no thanks on physical qwertys on any touch screen phone.

-Since they're making a Verizon CDMA version...Hopefully Sprint gets it as some point in the future
