Does anybody have the nexus one?
By Natalia VNexus One: The Big Picture
The phone looks more like the iPhone than any other
phone on the market. There is no physical keyboard like the
Android-powered Motorola Droid, and
the tradeoff is a much slimmer design. The phone is 11.5 mm deep,
slightly thinner than the iPhone 3GS at 12.3 mm. It is also
slightly lighter than the iPhone 130 grams v. 135 grams). The
package comes with the phone, a removable battery, 4 GB Micro SD
storage card (expandable to 32 GB), USB charger and microphone
headset.
The Nexus one has four functional touch buttons at the bottom of the screen (back, menu, home, search) and a navigation trackball pointing device. It also has physical power and volume controls. But most of your interaction with the phone will be through the gorgeous 3.7 inch 480 x 800 OLED capacitive touchscreen. This is the best mobile phone display on the market today, blowing away the iPhone’s 480 x 320 display. The screen is bright and alive, and an absolute pleasure to use.
This phone is also powered by the Snapdragon 1 GHz core processor, which is more than able to handle the Nexus One’s 3D graphics, multiple applications running in the background and heavy browser use simultaneously. Unlike previous Android phones, there is no slowdown or lag when you push the phone’s performance, and less of a need to kill applications to keep the device humming.
On the downside: all this hardware is an energy hog. But! You can easily view what’s using the battery, though (the screen is 71% of my current usage), and then adjust the hardware or software usage to maximize battery life.
Overall the Android is a superior mobile device, particularly when paired with Google Voice. Google is calling this the first of the Super Phones. And they may not be exaggerating all that much.

Step your mobile phone game up! First Stop the Vertu Shop..
By Natalia V
The company's first store opened its doors on Thursday to customers in Tokyo's ritzy Ginza district with handsets selling at prices up to ¥6 million (US$64,400). Vertu is also establishing itself as a cellular carrier here, working on the MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) model across NTT DoCoMo's network, so it can provide tailored service to customers.
But the service comes at a price. Monthly subscriptions to the Vertu MVNO cost ¥52,500, according to local media. That's 15 times the cheapest basic monthly tariff offered by NTT DoCoMo.
Vertu is betting that its target audience -- wealthy consumers -- won't be put off by the price but rather attracted by the handsets, which are hand-assembled in the U.K., and virtual concierge, an on-call service that can help with advice on travel, entertainment, restaurants and events.
