I just received my nexus one. Initial impressions...

[A5]

Since Google only sold 20,000 Nexus one phones during the first week, it appears that you weren't the alone. Google had better get an ad on tv asap, or this phone will fail.

If they cared about early sales, they probably wouldn't have launched with T-Mobile. I'm guessing the advertising will ramp up once the Verizon version is out in the Spring.

If they cared about sales, they would have brought it out for at&t, not TMUS which ...
1. ... has the crappiest coverage in the US,
2. ... is the smallest of the 4 nationwide carriers,
3. ... locks you out of 3G in Canada, LatAm and Australia/NZ, and
4. ... already sells plenty of android phones vs. none on at&t.

Like I said, this phone is just like the G1 or myTouch. Everytime these phones were rumored, people were like "OMG, the GOOGLE PHONE WILL RAPEZ0RZ." But in the end it's a raw Google experience phone more aimed at developers.

Just wait, HTC will bring something nice to AT&T.

The phone is hardly just like the G1 and Mytouch. The hardware capabilities as well as the quality of the touch screen are FAR superior to the previous mentioned models. This really opens up the phone to do what you wanted to do before, but didnt have the hardware to do.

Well when the G1 was released it was good hardware so the same can be said.

i wonder if the verizon/vodaphone model will be a hybrid cdma/gsm...that would be interesting if it happened.

It was average hardware, not good. It had a slower processor than the already existing Iphone. It was a middle of the road hardware phone with a new, hyped OS. That's why it did well.

The problem with that phone though is the build quality was chincy (as is the Mytouch) and the processor/ram cannot handle all the widgets/screens/customization that the phone's OS can do.

So essentially you have this awesome platform that you can't take advantage of. Whereas on the Nexus, you have top of the line hardware (compared to anything out right now) and now you can finally do on that OS what you wanted to do on the G1 but did not have the power to do.

Not to mention, the touch screen is about a billion times better, which is a HUGE difference, IMO.
