Google Nexus One Hands-On, First Impressions and Photos
You’ve probably read tons of Google Nexus One coverage from those who got it a day or two after it was released by Google. So, pardon me for posting this late since I just received my Google Nexus One a couple of hours ago. Being in a non-supported country, my Google Nexus One arrived 10 days after I ordered it, which was actually the day after it was announced. After going through some work-around, I finally did it – ordered my Google Nexus One, and waited impatiently for it to arrive. And so it did.
So, after practically using no other phone the the iPhone for two years, I’m so glad that the Google Nexus One runs almost the same as the iPhone. I mean, the interface is almost identical. The touchscreen feature, the apps screen and the display resolution make the iPhone and Google Nexus One almost like siblings.
But of course there differences. And based on a few hours of using it, I came up with a conclusion. If you have to compare the Google Nexus One and the iPhone using the usual mobile phone brands, I would have to say that if the iPhone is the Nokia of smartphones, the Google Nexus One can be considered as the Sony Ericsson. In other words, the Google Nexus One is geared more for the tech-savvy mobile phone users.
Aside from the looks, what more can I say about the Google Nexus One? Oh yes, the Android OS is simply fantastic. It’s fast, lightweight and plain straight-out mobile phone OS. Being an iPhone user for two years, did I find any difficulty learning the ins and outs of the Android-powered Nexus One? None.
Using the Nexus One for the first time is a breeze. Nothing difficult about it. Although, I’m not pretty sure how it fares when it comes to tinkering and tweeking. That’s what I’m going to do next. Will post a review of the Google Nexus One after I’ve used it for a couple of days.
