Nexus One May Suffer from Same Framerate Issue as EVO

We reported recently that the EVO has been having some serious frame rate issues, namely that it is locked at 30 FPS in both 2d and 3d modes.  Now it seems that the Nexus One may be suffering from the same frame rate issue.

In a post over at dailytech.com, it is Read the rest of this entry »

Nexus One Begins to Appear in Third-Party Retail Stores

If you wondered what Google meant when they said the Nexus One would be getting “more retail availability”,  just take a quick look at the image above.  That’s right, it’s an advertisement for a Nexus One sold through a retail channel!  Oh my!  When did this happen you might ask?  Well, it appears wireless retailer and T-Mobile affiliate i Wireless has started offering a number of Android devices in the past few days, including the Nexus One.  I Wireless is now selling the phone for $299.95 on contract after rebate — a good bit more than the $179 Google charges, but in return, it looks like you can select just about any plan T-Mobile offers (Google restricts you to the Even More 500 plan to get the subsidy).  This is a pretty good deal if you ask me.

Opinion: 3 Reasons Sprint Will NOT Drop the Nexus One

There has been much talk regarding the Sprint version of the Nexus One and whether it will meet the same fate as Verizon’s. Back in March, prior to Sprint’s formal announcement of their support for the Google’s flagship device, I wrote a post entitled “Opinion: What Does Verizon’s Nexus One Mean for Sprint?.” In it, I outlined the many reasons as to why Sprint will be getting the device. Sure enough, I was right. Read the rest of this entry »

Nexus One Is Flattered By Its Chinese “Clone”

Let me put it this way: when your phone’s design and likeness is completely ripped off, you should be quite flattered to say so. We often see these knockoffs in many forms and in all types of technology, and phones seem to be right up there with the top prospects. Usually, we’ll see the millionth take on the iPhone making its rounds, but this time it seems we’ve gotten a hybrid of the iPhone and Google’s Nexus One. Read the rest of this entry »

WIND Customers: Get Your Hands On A Compatible Google Nexus One

Throughout the iPhone OS madness, Google brought it upon themselves to silently update their mobile storefront to include WIND Mobile as an official carrier which supports the Nexus One’s frequencies. All you need to do is head over to Google’s online store to order yourself a Nexus One compatible with T-Mobile and you’ll be able to get set up on WIND without a hitch.

If there are any Canadian fellows on WIND out there, will this new-found support entice you to finally buy a Nexus One? The fact that WIND doesn’t have “a gazillion phones, just a handful of great ones” should make this news rather pleasant for people looking for a bit more in their phone selection.

[Update]: Thanks for the correction, guys! Sorry about that.

Sony Ericsson snubbed Google over Nexus One, Cool?

Sony Ericsson turned down the chance to make the Googlephone, because it didn’t want to become a contract manufacturer – not even for the Chocolate Factory.

Sony Ericsson CEO Bert Nordberg told Swedish newspaper Sydsvenssan (Swedish only) about the discussions. In the interview Nordberg says relations remain good with Google, which turned to HTC to manufacture the Nexus One, instead. Read the rest of this entry »
