This walk-thru of the Nexus One user interface demonstrates what Android 2.1 looks like on the Nexus One – and also shows that the phone is very real:
The specs are also now available and they are impressive – a fast processor (1GHz Snapdragon) and a large screen (3.7 inches, 854 x 480 pixels):
- Nexus One test: faster, better screen than iPhone
- Nexus One full specs detailed, invite-only retail sales starting January 5th?
- Google Nexus One hands-on
The third article reveals:
- Thinner and lighter than the iPhone 3GS
- Same screen as the Droid (3.7 inches, 854 x 480 pixels)
- The Droid has a 550MHz Arm A8 (similar to iPhone). The Nexus One appears to be nearly twice as fast (1GHz Snapdragon).
- video backgrounds
- 5 megapixel camera
If Google’s planning on releasing this phone as their official Google phone, it’ll certify them as the premium Android phone brand out there right now. Even though it doesn’t have a hardware keyboard, it basically beats the hell out of the Droid in every single task that we threw at it. And face it, some people didn’t like the Droid’s keyboard because it was too flush and the keys were too unseparated with each other. N1’s onscreen keyboard felt fine, and the speedy processor made sure that each key was interpreted well.

Sholes.info reportedly ported over the Flan Android 2.1 on Verizon’s Droid handset. Although the port was successful, there were quite a few problems with bringing over this build to the Droid. Below is a summary of a few of them:
1. Keyboard backlight is no longer functioning properly. The only way to get the keyboard to turn back on is to use the Power widget and toggle the brightness. This is a one-time fix and needs to be done repeatedly.
2. Superuser and the su binary for local root and escalated privileges no longer works (even if pushed to the device). If you drop to a terminal and execute “su” it seems like it wants to do something and then ultimately gives a “permission denied.”
3. Landscape mode app drawer acts weird. The little “home” icon on the screen is off-centered and when pressed launches the Camera application.
4. The Messaging app still notifies you of Messages even when it’s set not to.
5. The carrier shows up as T-CDMA 64
6. General, non-repeatable inconsistencies with the home screens. Issues like no longer being able to swipe to change home screens, or not being able to launch apps from the home screen.
7. Automatic brightness is also not working.
8. App drawer not working properly in landscape, probably because the phone it is for does not have a landscape mode in home, therefore, app drawer cannot handle displaying in landscape properly.
9. It seems that notifications are fairly jacked up as well. For instance, the Email app always makes a sound because the Default sound is set. But attempting to change it to “silent” results in a crash of the Email app itself.
Feeling like taking a stab at it with your coding guts? Here is a link to the image file. PLEASE NOTE: We are not responsible if you brick your phone.
Sorry, Google. The apps (and by that we mean appetizers) won out.
At long last there is proof of Google’s (GOOG) long-anticipated smartphone. Late last week, the online advertising giant started handing out an Android-powered phone to employees. While refusing to detail the specs, the official Google mobile blog refers to it as a “mobile lab.”
The Googley vagueness continues on the blog, where it is described as, “A device that combines innovative hardware from a partner with software that runs on Android to experiment with new mobile features and capabilities.”
Of course, the gadget-obsessed immediately ran to the Federal Communications Commission to get those specs, and photos have been popping up all over. So, we now (mostly) know that it is a sleek-looking touch-screen phone made by HTC, powered by a high-end Qualcomm (QCOM) processor and featuring the latest Android 2.1 OS. From the looks of things, this GSM phone could operate on any number of networks abroad, but seems destined at least for T-Mobile in the United States.
With all the Googlers eager to show off their new gizmos, and this, the calendric peak of the holiday party season, it was inevitable that in the Bay Area at least, the two would combine. Sure enough, a friend attending a holiday party over the weekend in San Francisco with a number of Google folks making merry was presented with the new phone. “Mostly, I wanted to see the photo of the engagement ring that was on it,” she says, requesting anonymity. “It wasn’t an iPhone, and besides, there were pigs-in-a-blanket and these really good mini-cheeseburgers, and I was hungry, so I didn’t pay too much attention. “ So there you have it.
Table stakes: iPhone quality hardware
Discounting for a moment that this occurred in gadget-jaded Silicon Valley (and that the mini-cheeseburgers were really good), it does offer a point worth examining. Great hardware is the minimum starting point in the smartphone market these days, and it doesn’t get anyone’s blood racing by itself. As a piece of hardware, the Google phone, dubbed the Nexus One according to employees, had better be on par with an iPhone. If not, as we have seen time and again with would-be competitors, it will be a non-starter.
Let’s assume Google’s phone is tip-top in the hardware department. What sells smartphones these days has as much to do with the software running the phone and the applications available as the hardware. Again, Apple (AAPL) leads the pack by a wide margin with its mobile apps store.
Google’s open-source mobile OS Android has been getting mostly good reviews, especially in its latest incarnation running on Motorola’s (MOT) Droid phone. What Google needs to do, however, is get more Android phones out there to attract more developers and get the critical application mass it needs.
What has everyone most excited at the moment is the (rumored) prospect that Google will sell its Nexus One as an unlocked, carrier-agnostic piece of gear starting in January. Fine, as long as the phone is still relatively cheap. If Google comes out with a $500 unlocked phone, it will fade as quickly as all of Nokia’s similar unlocked and pricey efforts.
But if Google sells its phone contract-free for the same $199 the iPhone sells for (with a two-year AT&T (T) contract) it will have a monster on its hands. How could that happen? Google, rather than a carrier could subsidize the phone, and make up the cost via mobile advertising (it just bought AdMob), or maybe just take a hit to build a market. Google can certainly afford it. Either way, Android gets very huge, very fast, and that is what Google really wants.
Would that upset Google’s roster of current Android customers, including Motorola, Samsung and some of the wireless carriers? Sure it would, but this isn’t about the old-school wireless ecosystem, it’s about the mobile Web and Google’s designs to own it. If Google wants it, it needs to step up. If no? Those pigs-in-a-blanket sure look good.
The recently, confirmed “Google Phone”, Nexus One has a very nice boot up animation and people are all over it. In this video, Brandon Scott, @brandonscott on Twitter shows it off on his Verizon Droid, but we get the deal. Nexus One is said to be the next “iPhone Killer”, but in my opinion will probably fail, like the Droid, Pre, G1, and more have. One thing to note, is that this is going to be Google’s second smartphone, first being the T-Mobile G1. The Nexus One will be on a special new version of Android 2.0, built by HTC and most likely on T-Mobile, like it’s big brother the G1.
The HTC touch pro marks HTC’s refined move into providing a touch capable phone for the average user. HTC has always made touch technology the focal point of their phones. With the Touch pro, the company has taken the intuitive touch system of previous phones and combined it with supreme styling. Taking a cue from the Apple iPhone, HTC is providing the consumer with a phone that houses the popular touch screen technology with a QWERTY keyboard.
There is strong news around the tech blogs that a HTC-made, Google Phone is in the wild amongst Google employees. Google did confirm that there is something brewing. This is very important because currently Google just develops the Android OS, while it is up to manufactures (like HTC, Motorola, etc.) to make the hardware. With the so-called Google Phone (or G-Phone) it would mean a phone fully developed by Google to their liking. You can expect tight integration between the hardware and software. For manufactures who implement the Android OS it could be uneasy news.
Here are the facts from TechCrunch: The hardware manufacturer of the “Google Phone” is HTC, and it will be sold as an unlocked GSM phone (so technically it would work on both T-Mobile and AT&T). The phone will be running Android 2.1. It will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and it will have a beautifully bright-lit OLED touchscreen. It has no physical keyboard, two mics (one mic will try to eliminate background noise), and a camera. Rumors are that it is thinner than the current iPhone. A projected release date of January 2010 has been mentioned.
For cell phone manufactures who are Android partners, this could take away from their sales. If the reports are true, the G-Phone definitely makes Apple’s iPhone 3GS look silly and dated. Where the Droid was equal to the iPhone, the G-Phone should eclipse both. Nokia and Symbian need to innovate now in order to keep their market share lead. For Palm and Microsoft, this marks the beginning of irrelevancy in the smartphone market. Lastly, Verizon gets left out on what potentially could be the best phone on the market.
The real winner? Google. It is the correct move for the company. It ensures extremely tight integration of software and hardware that rivals the iPhone. They can create their own branded phone and no one will stop them because they have the manufacturers by the balls with their amazing Android OS. This is something Microsoft never dared to do in the PC market…but then again this is what separates Google from the rest.
Getting Knowledge about what we are using is always handy and as CDMA/GSM terms always come into picture as we change our mobile handsets frequently so i guess understanding the term is handy.
Question: is the unlocked htc hd2 compatible with any mexican networks on 3g with internet and service?? does anyone know about the upcoming htc passion?? also the release dates and specifications please
Answer: hello i work for t-mobile in london england and i have the htc hd2 . i love the phone because it has 3G ,5 megapixel camera n a front facing camera for video calling. the htc touch hd 2 ONLY!! supports HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz for 3G !so over here in london 3G works fine because we use 900/2100 for 3G. but if u unlock it and use it in mexico with telcel or moviestar u will only get edge . since its a quadband phone it supports GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz.. which telcel and moviestar use. telcel n moviestar use the 850/900 mhz band for 3G which the htc hd 2 does not support.
its kinda confusing but to put in in easier words no 3G support for mexico or america.ONLY edge.internet access will work but its will be really slow video calling will not work at all. video calling only works on 3G . voice calling and text n picture messaging will work too but it will be a little slower at sending pictures.. also the htc passion from what i heard is coming out with verizon in america some were next month.

1. Press Camm & Comm button simultaniously. Keep them pressed.
2. Punch the little hole at the bottom with the stylus for a second or two.
3. Release the stylus (keep the buttons pressed!)
4. A white text-message appears on a black screen, telling you to press the send button
5. press the green button(the one you press to make a call).
6. Now, release the Camm & Comm buttons
7. The message on the screen tells you some more about formatting.
8. Release every button, you are done!
The OS has been reinstalled on your phone (it’s like formatting your hard drive and install a new Windows).
Method 2:
1. Open “Today => Settings => Clear Storage”
2. Enter “1234″ as instructed
3. Hit “YES” in the bottom-bar
Question: not just q1
Answer: sorry only htc knows the answer to that but its supposed to be out in the middle of december or at least before christmas. it will also be on verizon. hope this helps
Question: I need a another phone and this one will be for my business use only. I have heard alot about blackberrys and alot about iphones but some people are telling me about HTC and now that leaves me clueless...so who better than to ask the general public and oh yh I use a pc not a mac
Answer: I am NOT a fan of the new "touchscreens" and having to lock and unlock my phone each time etc etc. I went from an LG to a Blackberry Curve 8330 and LOVED it but when my contract was up with Verizon, opted to upgrade again to the Blackberry Tour. It is easy to navigate, professional, loaded with features and has Blackberry's amazing one-touch email along WITH the best quality service provider (Verizon)! Go with the Blackberry. View touchscreens as the new "fad" but the Blackberry as long-term sustainability.
