lmao epic fail]]>May 14th 2010 12:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/May 14th 2010 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/Got the N1 for AT&T 3G. Multi-touch works perfectly across email, google maps, and browsers.
I've put on an HTC Desire Rom, and wireless tethering and I'm golden. Yes the UI is quirkier than the iPhone 3GS and the screen not as responsive to touch..but the 5mpx with flash, loud speaker phone and headset, removable battery and insane ability to modify each and every aspect of the phone is worth it.
Not to mention the screen is abso-fuckin-lutely GORGEOUS!! And the updates are through google, not carrier so I'm lookng fwd to Froyo 2.2 with Flash enabled in browsers and more goodies within the next month or so.]]>May 14th 2010 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/
Even cross axis tracking? News to me. I know the multitouch on the N1 is fine for gestural stuff (pinch, etc.) that doesn't need to know the exact location of the 2+ points, but the last I had heard, the cross axis tracking problem was an unpatchable, hardware-related quirk for that unit's touchscreen.]]>May 14th 2010 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/
the only reason i haven't bought one is because i'm not about to spend $629 for a phone, desktop charger, and car mount.

Bring down the price to say $300 for all that and Google would probably sell out..]]>May 14th 2010 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/I bought my Nexus one and I love it.

Maybe 4G is missing on N1 or EVDO ..]]>May 14th 2010 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/
I'm not sure I agree with the whole "death of the google phone" mantra... After reading the blog I don't recall them saying they'll stop making carrier-unbranded phones, just no longer selling phones through themselves... and instead offering them at stores where people can actually play around with it. The Nexus One will still be sold... and nothing's stopping them from making Nexus 2s and 3s... the only thing changing is HOW they will be sold...

I could be wrong and may have skipped over something vital, in which case I'm very much open to correction... but that's just how I see it]]>May 14th 2010 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/May 14th 2010 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/
Yup, or any other apps that require accurate point tracking and not just gesture recognition. Don't get me wrong- I still think it's an awesome phone, but that multitouch problem/quirk is a deal killer for me.]]>May 14th 2010 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/May 14th 2010 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/That's supposed to be fixed in 2.2 coming shortly.]]>May 14th 2010 1:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/May 14th 2010 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/No it's not.

Its not actually THAT bad. I think it comes down to which software your using. I find the default apps have no problem with multi-touch.

3rd party apps tend to have less accurate multi-touch. The multi-test shows the axises flip for me very rarely, but in gameboid, the two points are noticeably not in the right spot (just by a bit).

If the software is done right (Froyo anyone? =D), the N1 will be a really good phone =)]]>May 14th 2010 7:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/google-changes-nexus-one-plans-will-stop-selling-handsets-onlin/

Yeah, from just reading this, that "google phone is dead" sentence was completely out of place, over-dramatised and confusing.
