Google Nexus One

[el_jentel1]

So I just got my Nexus One, and I have to say that I'm loving it.

One weird thing though, I was always under the impression that Nexus One doesn't support multi-touch (ie: pinch to zoom), but when I received the phone, after 30 minutes of playing with it I get an update alert, so I accept and update (update-1).

After that, I noticed that the pinch gesture works fine in browser, gallery, maps..etc, I didn't realize it at first because I was just doing it out of instinct (I have an iPod Touch), so after a while I said "wtf, pinch shouldn't work, my phone is haunted".

So I did some research and found one comment about it, since Apple has a patent for the pinch/multi-touch Nexus One in US doesn't support multi-touch.

Kinda weird to be honest, so I figured maybe the OS update enabled that feature because location is not US? Or did Google announce they will enable it for everyone and I missed the announcement?

Anyway, I love the phone, Google Goggles app is amazing, basically use the camera to search for stuff, I tested it on my Marlboro (as see in the pic) it scanned and outlined text "Marlboro" then searched for it, very very impressive.

It also reads barcodes to compare prices and stuff.

Can't wait for the next Android update (Froyo 2.2).

Hmm nice, was thinking of getting one, but already got a 3GS so..
What's it like compared to your touch? (assuming you have it jailbroken)

The reason I didn't get a nexus is cause I don't want to get rid my iphone cause of installous (best invention ever).

But damn, this looks pretty tempting

Specifications wise, if you compare it with iPhone 3Gs, Nexus One wins no doubt.

But if you're really a hardcore Apple/iPhone fan, then I guess you can wait for the new iPhone 4G, will be released in June I believe.

I just love the fact that it's all open source, possibilities are endless, I mean, if you are up-to-date with Android releases, the latest announcement that Froyo (2.2) is 450% faster than Eclair (2.1), and that's only by software optimization, no hardware changed.

Nexus One comes unlocked, no need to jailbreak, if you mean "rooted" to modify ROM, then nope.
