$150 For Google Nexus One ETF
Google Cuts Nexus One ETF To $150
Google lowers Google Nexus One phone (Equipment Recover Fee) from $350 to $150.So,you can check this in new Nexus One term of service.The $150 for ETF is reasonable but this lower fee still in addition to $200 T-mobile early termination fee if you cancel contracts early.Although,this fee was reduced.But there's no answer why T-mobile and Google are forcing their users to pay this fee.There are still question to answer for their users and FCC
Joel Gurin , FCC Consumer Bureau Chief said about Nexus One ETF
"The ETF on the Nexus One is of specific interest to us because if a subscriber cancels between 14-120 days into his contract, the ETF is $550," Gurin said. Indeed, the fine is significantly higher than what you might pay to a single carrier because it's going to both Google and T-Mobile. "This ETF is unusually high, and we want to understand the rationale behind it"
Nexus One Multi Touch Problem
Nexus One Multi-Touch Problem
In Video that is a Multi-touch test between Nexus One and Motorola Droid by using application from Android Market called "Multitouch Visible Test".And the result after testing is Motorola Droid has a fine multitouch and can working well but Nexus One has a problem when axis-switching.Here is Diane Hackborn's quote about Multi-touch on Nexus One
“Sorry I meant exactly what I said: this is how the touch screen hardware on the Nexus One works (which is essentially the same screen as on the G1 and myTouch). The Droid has a sensor from a different manufacturer, with different behavior. Other phones will likewise have different sensors.”So,that means this problem can't be solved by OTA Update ??? and How we can fix it ??? For now,all that we can is download Multitouch Visible Test App and prey for your Nexus One ,Good luck

80,000 Sold For Nexus One After First Month
Only 80,000 in First Month For Nexus One
80,000 that is number of Google Nexus One which had been sold in first month after released into smartphone market. Meanwhile, iPhone and Motorola droid sold 600,000 and 525,000 in their first month.Why Google Nexus One can't beat them ? Here is a answer.
The iPhone and Motorola Droid had marketing campaigns for electronic device customers for long-time ago and if someone want to buy iPhone and Motorola Droid they can walking to store and purchase it. but Google Nexus One only sold on Google website and that a new experience for many people like Eric Schmidt said,Nexus One is to change the way people buy mobile phone. Moreover,most customers were confused about contract and how to resign it.Google Nexus One campaign was based on Google Ads.
So,This isn't a result for this war and we're far from that.And don't forget Google Nexus One is only first one Google Phone.If Google's marketing campaigns have been success.Google Nexus One will be there and not to far from iPhone
Nexus One Google Phone : Software Review
Nexus One Software Review
The Google Phone Nexus One runs on Android 2.1 which brings talk of the town to Android users. A suggestion for Android users that is Android 2.1 has no different from currently version which runs on Motorola Droid (Android 2.0.1)Firstly,like another Android phones Nexus One completely integrated with Google Voice the great application for Android platform.That means you can make a call and send text message by using your Google Voice number.
Every text field in Nexus One allow you to use voice command.It's a great feature for saving your time by choose the microphone button and talk to the phone and then the phone will converts your speech to text. see speech converts to text on Nexus One video here
Next feature in Nexus One is Live Wallpaper which you can choose many wallpaper settings such as Galaxy,Magic Smoke,Polar Clock,Grass and Water. See Live Wallpaper on Nexus One here.
And new clock application which can show the time and local weather and has easy access buttons to the alarm and runs automatically when charge.
Nevertheless, Nexus One allow you to backup your profile,application and other setting and You also can setting up your Nexus One by using Google contact,email or application which you want in only 10 minutes.
But something which the guy from Engadget mentioned that is Nexus One has no multitouch.And now we can live with a browser or Google Maps with no pinch to zoom but without physical keyboard may be a weak point for Nexus One And another problem is Nexus One can't launch Nesoid application
So,Nexus One maybe not a perfect Android phone cause Google bring out some useful interation away from this phone but in the name of "Google Phone" Nexus One will be talk of the town for a long time from now.
