Nexus One

A week and two days ago I finally made the leap into the world of smart phone users. When it comes down to it? So far, it hasn’t made a huge difference in my life. It almost seems like the phone is the expensive toy you always wanted as a child, but once you had, you weren’t entirely sure what to do with it.
Things I’m a huge fan of:
- The glowing white button. I wish it breathed a little more slowly, like my Mac does, but it’s a really nice way to be alerted about events.
- The archive button in the mail app. Having a phone designed for gmail is way preferable to using my iPod, which never let me archive.
- Word suggest. It makes texting more bearable. Honestly, I still miss texting in t9.
- Live wall paper! Self explanatory.
- Haptic feedback.
- Industrial design/laser engraving.
Things I’m less of a fan of:
- Shorter battery life. I miss going for days.
- Five screens is a little unnecessary for apps. One would probably be fine.
- The buttons on the bottom force me to touch slightly above them, rather than on them. I got used to it, but it’d been a bit aggravating.
