http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/12/500x_nexone.jpgAnother personal encounter with the Nexus One (http://gizmodo.com/tag/nexusone/) is recorded in history forever, and while Tnkgrl (http://tnkgrl.wordpress.com/2009/12/18/exclusive-google-nexus-one-hands-on/) wasn't allowed to exercise her camera finger, she's written on her blog that it's "extremely thin," but more importantly, there's a severe lack of multitouch...
While she concedes that it's "much nicer looking in person," the lack of multitouch is a bummer. Here's what she noticed when having a fondle with the Nexus One:
- It's much nicer looking in person than in pictures
- There's a 4 GB micro-SD card installed
- The battery capacity is 1400 mAh
- The screen appears to be OLED (same size/resolution as the Motorola Droid)
- 3G works on T-Mobile USA :)
- I can confirm that there's no 3G on AT&T (EGDE only)
- It's definitely unlocked
- It's super snappy! Faster than the Droid…
- There's no multitouch support in the browser or in Google Maps
- There's no dedicated camera key, but it's the same camera interface as the Droid
- The trackball can be used to focus (like on other HTC devices)
- Low-light performance is decent, but the flash is weak
- Calls are routed the normal way, not using data (VoIP), and sound fine
- The home screen is divided into 5 panes (like the Sense interface on the HTC Hero)
- It's using a micro-USB connector for data/power
- There are some gold contacts at the bottom edge, for a dock perhaps?
- Did I mention it's fast?
The lack of a camera button disturbs me, but other than that, it sounds like a fairly ho-hum (http://gizmodo.com/5426003/why-we-all-need-to-calm-down-about-the-real-google-phone) Android phone.
