Watch as CNET editors take a first look at the new Google Nexus One phone. A quick summary:
The good: The Nexus One has a gorgeous display, a lightning-fast processor, and a loaded feature set. The enhanced voice capabilities worked flawlessly, and the phone delivers solid performance.
The bad: Like other Android phones, the Nexus One forces you to store apps on the internal memory. The media player remains average, and it’s missing some wanted features like multitouch support, dual-mode capability for GSM and CDMA networks, and hands-free Bluetooth dialing. Currently, Outlook calendar syncing is not available.
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.

That is a wonderful video but somehow I still feel that the Apple iPhone has a better design than Nexus One.

The so-called bad parts you mentioned are not bad at all ro me. I am not the type to download a bunch of unneceassary apps and I do not ust Outlook, instead I use either my built in phone calendar or yahoo calendar – which you can use Yahoo on the device. The only thing it is missing to me is an optional slide out keyboard just in case the touchscreen goes haywire.
This one almost has the page sliding effects of the PalmPre…but can you do multiple things at once like on the PalmPre, hmm?

For me, the high screen resolution of nexus one is the biggest advantage over the iphone

It was indeed a cool phone. But if I can’t maximize its usage, the phone is a no no for me.

Why do they bother to make a smartphone that doesn’t have all the innovative and amazing features that people want. They just wasted their money and time. The iphone still tops my wishlist.
