Oh, Techland’s page-splitting of comments, with the ability to change pages relegated to the bottom, makes me want to come here again and again! Except on my iPhone, where they shunt me to their comment-less MOBILE page, despite my having a standards-compliant browser.

Seriously, monkeys, I’m waiting for Lev to name names, and then there’s a train ride and a brief view of a pipe wrench in your future.

Is there any statement on battery life? It looks awfully thin to have much of a battery.

@doubleang Hardware supports multi-touch and that’s evident in the Euro version of the Droid. US-based devices have to be rooted to support multi-touch. My G1 is rooted and supports multi-touch.

@doubleang the nexus one doesn’t support AT&T’s 3G frequency.

QUestions:
is it true it will only work on Edge network with ATT?

Screen res sounds sexy and promising – the width of the Nexus One is the same resolution as the height of the iPhone’s. 800×480 vs 480×320

Hopefully this device pushes Android over the hump to make it a true competitor to the iPhone.

Wow. The image at the google store includes and app (article?) titled “Helping Grandpa Get His Tech On.”

Hookay, then.

“Nexus One Superphone”

So I was wrong about the phone babies. Apparently this one came from Krypton

Great screen resolution suitable for web surfing IF you can see it. I wish I could plug my phone into a monitor .. now THAT would be revolutionary!

10:37 AM – were you being sarcastic with the “WOW”?

By: Peter Ha

Well, we know it’s a GSM device and supports T-Mobile’s 3G band but not AT&T.
