I have one and I love it. It does everything I need and more. It has full synchronisation with google apps and products. a range of free apps available. Google Goggles is an interesting feature and also I have an app that will locate my phone if it is stolen (via gps) and also wipe all my private data remotely. I would recommend!

Where's the rest of the content??

It's only a few hundred words long, other have written thousands on the Nexus One and you call this a thorough review??!!??

The INQ is famed for its in-depth, deep down, hard technical content and this looks like the intro to a review that other sites have turned out.

Techradar even wrote a couple of thousand words and I suspect even woman's weekly would do so!

I really hope you aren't paying your staff all the same for their reviews.

Internet access for your laptop via Bluetooth via Dial Up Neworking, or Personal Area Network is still NOT supported.

On iPhone it works perfectly.

Android ffs. We wanna be online on our laptops. So far this is what they have to say about it: "We do not yet have a release targeted for official DUN or PAN support" sigh!!

The hardware is great but it is completely let down by the lack of useful widgets. HTC's Sense UI has it sewn up in this respect and I can't wait for Bravo to be launched, then we'll get the best of both worlds.

To quote, "Battery life is surprisingly good thanks to a 1400 mAH removable unit. With WiFi and 3G radios enabled you can expect to charge every other day with average browsing, push email, listening to music and of course phone calls." I am interested on what can be considered as 'average'. The nexus one I had can barely survive one day with both wifi and 3G enabled, with background data synching. And if I use it to browse, email and call, then expect it to last 6-12 hours.

If you are an Iphone lover who hacked your phone to do something that Apple didn't want you to do, then you are a prime candidate for the Nexus One.

I've had an iphone since the first jail-break was available. I've now had my N1 for 2 weeks. I miss all the apps that are available, but love that the N1 is my phone and I can do as I wish with the software stack. I know I'm in the minority, but I still think there's a good size market for this phone.

... until iPhone 4.0 is previewed, I suspect. Anyone NOT think that the next iPhone (due from April onwards) won't at least match the Nexus One in terms of processor speed, camera res, etc.?

And, yes, the Google OS is more open than the iPhone - but as you point out, that has potential downsides in that getting apps to work with all the potential hardware variants out there...

Compass shows which way device is pointing. GPS will tell you which way you are traveling, if indeed you are.
