    I repair mobile phones for a living, so I get to check out a lot of devices. In my opinion, the Nexus One is at the top of the cool pile! Definitely the best smart phone available today. Beats the iPhone 3GS hands down in all departments. Top specs, beautiful design, excellent UI, seriously innovative software and huge app market ; what more could anyone want? Android is the way forward, no doubt about it!

    Great review by the way MobileBurn, I have subscribed to your channel and RSS feed.

    Why would a nexus one want to have lesser hardware? Besides Multi touch was being played with by bell labs in the 80s It’s just only recently became popularized. A touch screen phone without Multi-touch would not be able to type quickly on the keyboard as any second press would cause the wrong keys to be pressed or missed. It’s just that so many people wanted pinch zooming Google released an update for it, which has existed in places other than the iPhone.

    UUUUUUMMMMM apple hasn’t decided to use bing as it’s search engine. That was just rumors. Nice try though.

    What he means is that the iPhone is going to start to use Bing as its default search engine and coincidently Google adds multi-touch to the nexus one. He’s basically saying that Google enabled multi-touch in order to get back at Apple though.
