The drawbacks? You can't take this phone to your corner T-Mobile store for support. T-Mobile will handle network-related issues but the rest is in HTC and Google's court. Google isn't a company famous for quality human contact, and we'll see if they can handle being a retailer. Read more

Google makes no bones about their intentions with the Nexus One, saying it is more than a smartphone; it is a “superphone.” We have to disagree. It’s a pretty amazing phone, don’t get us wrong, but with some now basic smartphone features like multitouch and Bluetooth voice dialing missing we’re not ready to elevate it to superphone just yet. Is it the best Android device to date? Absolutely. Is it better than the iPhone ? Probably. Are we excited... Read more

The bottom line: It doesn't have all the features we'd like, but the Nexus One greatly enhances the Google Android family with a fast processor, good call quality, and improved voice control features. What's more, we love that all versions of the phone will be unlocked. Read more

HTC Google Nexus One is definitely one of the best looking Google phones, more appealing than G1 and G2. In terms of performance, it is also above any other Android device coming from HTC, for the moment at least. I think I won't be lying when saying that Google Nexus One is the best choice for Android users. Unfortunately, the low autonomy battery as well as the high price might limit success. Read more

Alright, we’ve no problem saying it. The Google Nexus One is certainly one of the finest pieces of mobile technology we’ve seen recently. Google have managed to outdo the Android crowd, although what’s fair is fair: the MILESTONE is the uncontested leader in the QWERTY-enabled segment. The political consequences of the Nexus One are certainly the subject of a whole different discussion. The thing is, the ramifications are not as grave as feared at this point. And... Read more

HTC Nexus One 5 Looks like Apple finally has some competition. The Google Nexus One combines the sleek look and styling of the iPhone with the versatile Android platform and delivers the much demanded break from ATT wireless service that so many otherwise loyal iPhone users have complained of. The 3.7 inch 480 x 800 touchscreen display is absolutely brilliant and is more like working on a laptop than a typical smart phone. Paired with Google voice, this device is a must... Read more

Upgraded from my G1. My girlfriend got a DROID and my envy was palpable, but no more! This thing is awesome, I sold my Ipod cuz I have no need for it anymore. I was dissapointed with the fact it only comes with the 4GB Micro SD (instead of the 16GB card in the DROID), but I found a cheap 16 GB card on craigslist and now i'm back in buisness. No lag time between homescreen, or really anything noticeable when switching between some memory intensive apps (from Pandora to... Read more

Almost My Perfect Device

Reviewer: gdgt

I ordered the Nexus One off contract a couple days back. I just got the device yesterday and have been using it extensively since then. Short version: Still hate the trackball but everything else is going swimmingly. Hardware-wise, the device is great. Super thin, soft-touch back, all glass front. The one downside, at least for me, is the trackball. I never use it except to look and see if I have any notifications while the screen is off. As far is the internals go, I... Read more
