Tag: "Nexus One"


In this browser speed test the contestants are Google’s Nexus One, and HTC’s HD2. As you probably know, the Nexus One runs on Android, and the HD2 runs on Windows Mobile. The test is done by using the fastest mobile browser we know of, in other words Skyfire.

Overall, loading times are much better on the HD2, but the user experience is better on the Nexus One. Also what I find a little bit disturbing on the HD2, is that it doesn’t show the page before its fully loaded. I prefer the method used on the Nexus One, since the user is able to view the page while its loading.

Google Goggles demoed on their Nexus One. The quality of this video is much better than the previous Google Goggles video i posted(the one with the Toblerone). As the guy on the video said, it works extremely well with barcode, and reasonably good with images of known objects.

Google’s Nexus One didn’t have an extremely good first week. According to Flurry, a mobile application analytics firm, Google sold only 20,000 Nexus Ones during the first week. This is three times lower than what T-Mobile’s myTouch sold, twelve times lower than the Droid, and a whopping eighty times lower than the iPhone 3GS.

This sounds pretty low, but I don’t think this should be compared to for instance the iPhone. The iPhone was launched in eight countries simultaneously, and it was not the first generation of the phone. Also, another fact that could cause so bad sales, is that Google’s Nexus One wasn’t exactly the first phone to run on Android(OK, it was the first phone to run on Android 2.1).

T-Mobile has acknowledged the 3G problem seen on their Nexus One phones. In the picture above, you can see an internal document on what they are going to do about the problem. So if you call to T-Mobiles customer service to complain about your Nexus One, you will most probably get an answer that follows the troubleshooting guide above.

Here is an interesting take from “Life from All Things D at CES 2010″ transcoded by Engadget. Andy Rubin, VP of Engineering at Google, said that there will be an enterprise version of the Google Nexus One phone. The phone will have a physical keyboard, and a better/bigger battery.

A video showing the voice input used in the messaging application on the Google Nexus One. At least in the video it works quite good :)


Here is a test to show the accuracy on four different capacitive touch screens. Phones used in the test are the iPhone, HTC Droid Eris, Motorola Droid and the newest of them all, the Google Nexus One. Check out the video after the break!


Google’s support forums has exploded with complaints that the 3G reception on their Nexus One is bad. Either the phone doesn’t even connect to the 3G network, or then it continuously keeps switching between 3G and EDGE. When a few users have tried with the same SIM on another phone, they haven’t had problems, so the problem is Google Nexus One related.

This could be a minor glitch in just a small amount of phones, or then it could be a really big/bad problem for Google.
