Nexus One thoughts

Hello World,

I'm having a lot of fun with my N1. I like the whole bit about unlocking it and cooking ROMs and having full control of the device. It's sweet. Here are just some thoughts I've been having while discovering my new toy:

• Typing is really fast. I think it's faster than that of my 3GS.
• I like holding the device in my hand. It's so smooth and easy on the hands. It's thinner than my 3GS, but it also doesn't have a case. I doesn't know if I will get one for it. I probably will.
• I strongly disagree with anyone saying the AMOLED is a "nightmare" in sunlight. This past weekend, I pulled it out in clear and sunny Calgary weather with my polarized sunglasses on, and it was perfectly acceptable to me. I took off my shades, and obviously, the visibility was much better. This effect reminds me of what I see in the audio world. People think they should hear something, and therefore they hear it. They spent so many hundreds of dollars on this piece of equipment, and therefore their sound automatically must be better. Like everything in life, if it's more expensive, it's better, right? I honestly don't know what people are looking at. I wonder if this is a case of LCD manufacturers harping on AMOLED technology, and some people are drinking the koolaid. I'd say the screen is perfectly usable. I know the 3GS's screen was much brighter in sunlight, but that isn't to say that the N1's AMOLED screen is a nightmare. I'd say it's probably just an exaggeration, borderline wrong.
• Froyo is so snappy. I really like it. I even called my brother just to share my jubilation. So easy to use. Probably faster than the 3GS in some areas, but I can't really comment without a side-by-side test.
• I feel that this Android 2.2 + N1 is what Google always envisioned. As always, there are still some rough edges and some areas that need to be ironed out, but I think it's a really great device. Great software, great hardware, easy to use, quick response. I know it's a real geek phone, but I think a lot of "normal" people would like this thing.
• I haven't even tried out Flash on this thing yet. I'm just excited I can start surfing digg.com again and not get that blasted question cube everywhere I click.

That's all for now. Will come up with organized thoughts someday. As you were.
