Nexus One finally caught on video alongside its packaging (updated)

Frankly, we're surprised it took this long, but lo and behold, here we are with the first video of the Nexus One we've seen. It's just the all-too-brief and familiar boot animation, but thenexusone.com promises this is just one of many videos to come, and with any luck, a nicer video camera can be found in the interim. Also on hand is a few snapshots of the casing it came with -- don't read too much into that, however, as even the developer-only Google Ion had fancy packaging. Video after the break.

Update: Video of the animated background now available over the break as is a first pic of the onscreen keyboard

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

more than a google phone.. its just a really good HTC phone

i love how the phone's origin and purported business model are the source of all its hope..this is just a better hero, hardware-wise. and it has 2.1, nothing too special

That animated background is absolutely hideous. Can't wait for Android 2.1 on the Motorola Droid though.

I don't get it..it's not special. It's like all the other android phones out
ther.. With a different case! What's the point?

what a waste of background animation. it should have been more like the hd2's sense ui

what carriers will this be on?

[hfm Posted Dec 16th 2009 2:47PM]

is this thing running a Cortex A8 or Snapdragon?

[mr9872 Posted Dec 16th 2009 6:35PM]

Not to excited for this one, i'll wait for the Bravo(HTC-branded version of Nexus One). That way I can have fantastic hardware/ specs, Android 2.1, and most importantly of all; HTC Sense.

the 4 colour red, green blue and yellow remind me of windows but then it turns to X...
Hmmmm No to Windows ?
and the way the X keeps pulsating seems to say...
Noo to Windows... No to Windows, Nooo to Windows........
subliminal thingy here...........
