Nexus One

As I said in the earlier quick review, I give the Nexus One a big thumbs up.
There are many things to like about the Nexus One. The speed of the internet compared to the Pearl I had is like night and day, and it is also a full browser. Also I love the WiFi connection ability, even thopugh the 3G connectivity is pretty fast also. The only problem with the 3G or T-Mobile connectivity is in my house if I am in the basement. But any phone will have problems connecting there, I have not had a phone work that well there anyway.

The iPhone may have more apps in their market, but how many apps can you have. I have many for traveling, such as the DC Metro app for when I am in DC later this year for CPAC. And many others for sports scored, and even one to steam up the screen on the phone. So the Android Marlet has pretty much anything you want. I still have not really tried any of the games, but I am sure there are many good ones there also.

The Phone itself works great as a phone. I can hear clearly the voice on the other line and the best thing it has is the microphone noise cancellation, so the people on the other end can hear better if you are in a loud place. So as just a phone it works as good or better than most other phones.

Pros and Cons:

Pros:
1. The screen is very clear and you have 5 home screens to place all of the apps you want to use to easily find them
2. The great web browser that displays a full website, now using wap. I am sure that some of the other new phones are just as good also
3. With a 5 megapixels camera, the pictures you can take are very good. And if I want a better picture I can always use my digital camera.
4, I can also use WPtogo app to post on the various blogs I post to that use the Word Press platform

Cons:
1: Battery life is not that good. On my old Pearl I did not have to charge it for about 2 days usually, but with all the power and apps on the Nexus One, it is going to use battery life faster.
2: The spealers are on the back of the phone. So it sounds better if you have the phone laying on a table better than holdoing it up. But to listen to musio, it is better to use the ear phones anyway.
3. This is a con for now, but the online keyboard is hard to get use to. But I am sure that eventually it will get easier.

But the Nexus One is an excellent phone for anyone that wants to have a powerful phone for using the internet. Google Maps also is very good on the phone and with the GPS you can find almost anything you want to visit.

I have not gotten paid for any of this review and have no connection to Google or HTC.

Guess What I am getting???
