The Nexus One was anything but unexpected when it was announced earlier in this month. The phone was supposed to fit in a new class that some Google employees called the “Superphone” family. After using it for a few days, I’m confident in telling you that it is not good enough to push out new classes for cell phones. The Nexus One isn’t bad by any means. It was just suffering from excess hype prelaunch. Cool phone? Yes. iPhone killer? I don’t think so.
Before we get into details, here's a quick video preview from Google to walk you around the Nexus One.
Physical
This phone is Google only by name; it’s really an HTC phone at heart. The phone looks great and feels great as well. The body is made out of a metal frame that wraps around the plastic back-cover. It’s soft but offers adequate grip so that you don’t drop your 530$ (180$ with T-mobile contract) toy. The Nexus One actually fits quiet properly in your hand even if it is a little big but what’s more interesting is its thickness that hits 11.5mm, which is incredibly good when you consider all the powerful hardware that is packed inside.
On top you’ve got your 3.5mm headphone jack, and the power button. On the bottom side you have a USB port and on the right you have a volume rocker. On the front panel the 3.7” AMOLED screen sits comfortably, you have 4 haptic feedback buttons under the screen – back, menu, home and search. You also have a trackball but I don’t know why they put that really, you’re not going to use it anywhere but it acts as a notification light for missed calls and new messages…etc.
