Not Car Related: Google’s new Phone!

nexus one phone website google

To those who dont know, Google’s got a new phone. It’s got nothing to do with cars. It’s just us recognizing Google’s contribution to the internet and to us at Zerotohundred.com, for not just making it possible for most users to find our website, but also providing us with proper revenue throughout the years.

I’d like to post something short about Google’s very own phone, the Nexus One. Most of Apple’s products may be cool, but when it comes from google, you know it works – minus the fussy details.

The Nexus One runs on Google’s own Android operating system and is built by HTC. Just don’t get too excited yet. It won’t be available here in Malaysia yet. Though one could try borrowing one from the lucky Singaporeans? being one of the 4 countries the Nexus One will be available apart from the US, Great Britain, and Hong Kong.

Here’s what Engadget says about the Nexus One : Nexus One Review

Reviews say feature wise its better than the iPhone. But its not perfect, its reacting slowly to some 3G networks which is puzzling both HTC and Google, and because its rather a powerful device, battery life in the real world is poor... very poor its been said...

It certainly is a upto date phone, as usual google did what they do best, kept it simple...

Even as I like a bodily keyboard, after managing the Samsung Captivate for approximately quarter-hour, it's laborious to go back. Right now I'm debating whether to visit Verizon for the Droid X, go to Sprint for the EVO, or stick with AT&T for the Captivate...decisions, decisions.
