Tht's exacly why I am posting those high end specs mainly due to u gsmarena nerds. It seems that ALL of u want the MOST high end device!!! otherwise why bother looking at this NeXus1 if u can get cheaper HTC Magic with same Android 2.1 (with the hacker's help ofcourse)

Pce out

      Did I miss what kind of touchsscreen ?
      Resistive or capacitive ?
      Alsp, the "full specification" do NOT reveal what resolution that screen's got.
      In the end, although you can read all the spec-sheets in the world, it's still how the stuff work in real life that counts.
      ( F.ex. the Nokia N900 seem to do really really well, in spite of a bit less hardware muscle. )
      The iPhones´ versatility and ease of use are hard to beat, we must admit it.
      But I personally want a physical keyboard, PLUS I just can't stand the iPhone camera - not even the 3Gs cam.
      You'd hope that in a year touchscreens would have become A LOT better and much more affordable: I believe we're in a trasition stage regarding touch-screens.

Seriously. Until battery technology catches up to power hungry devices, I don't think you can get this type of setup. That's being realistic.

              I'm sorta starting to admire ur software Google (finally FM radio support), but those SPECS r simply PATHETIC to non-believe!!
              It's gonna be 2010 in a few hours - what were u thinking...
              exact same display as my i8910 HD, but crappy camera (blame HTC) with no HD recording, no internal memory, no 5.1 surround sound via speakers, same old crappy SLOWdragon processor (where is Tegra 2 when u most need it??)... 512MB RAM yep that's the start! (wonder if we actually need that much)
              point is: by the end of 2010 we should expect:
              1)Dual Core 2GHz Tegra 2
              2)1080p HD recording and playback (once again thanks to tegra)
              3)512MB RAM
              4)32GB internal storage (for storing those HD videos obviously)
              5)1500mAh battery with optinal solar panel
              Incoming Xperia X10, and HTC Bravo r not worthy either...
              Companies get to work!!

Cmon DFW, thats the biggest metroplex in Texas next to Houston!!!! Its not like im in Calvert or some weird town way out in the middle of nowhere. It's not just my area either. A friend of mine couldn't get a 3G signal from TMobile from his house either and he lives within the major metro area. U can also see the tower from his house too!!!!! Their GSM signal is too weak to penetrate shrubs and trees and maintain relative strength after bouncing off of objects in its path. that's where CDMA shines!!! I get every single bar with Sprint. Never had ONE dropped call...

Yeah the math is nice and all but have you heard of unlimited minutes? Having to switch off of that for 500 minutes without nights and weekends and no mobile to mobile. Google just shot themselves in the foot with that mandatory plan garbage. There is no way I'm going to switch my unlimited minutes and text for 500 minutes and text and web for more money than I'm paying now.

                          I used to be a Verizon customer, and I can tell you that Verizon has the best coverage without any contest.

                          Yet, T-mobile has the best deal with the use of a SIM card for old customers.

                          And as far as I can remember (in my area), 3G started in 2008, a little over 1 year. Unless you live in the suburbs, I cannot see how in hell would I get 2 bars 3G right in the middle of Chicago.

                                  TMobile is getting their hands on a lot of nicer phones lately but whats the use if their 3G coverage sucks? I could stand on the roof of my two story house and barely get two bars and i can see the freakin tower less that a mile away!!!! They need to do some major network expansion. Sprint and Verizon are about to launch 4G and TMobile has barely had national 3G coverage for a year or so.

                                    Well the design is just simple, but i have a big expectation for this one. google is making big mark for next and i hope windows mobile 7 would do great. but if windows mobile 7 disappoint me android is the way to go.

                                        I have HD2 now, n900 all trough it is in tablet area can't come even close to HD2. I had iPhone 3g, it is just plain toy for games and apps without all the business needed options that HTC WM devices have, 3gs is nothing better. The only competitor to HD2 is Nexus One, it beats it in screen type and slightly bigger ram, but that's all, WM is old pro, people claim it is buggy and sluggish, of course it is if u don't know how to use it and if its run on lower devices, Android is great, but it is too young and unexpanded to beat up WM. WM is most complex OS to date, and new WM 7 is just amazing, I'm glad that my HD2 can run it. As for games, iPhone beats in numbers, but comparing to n900 and HD2 it is cheap toy, n900 runs duke nukem 3d, that's fine, but HD2 runs tekken 3, that's even better. All pro people from mid to high level should have HD2 or Nexus One, for rest of you children there you have 3gs, n900 and Hero. So stop crapin your filth over HD2, try before you judge.
