Yay, it’s the first birthday of my Nexus One – my first smart phone. Thanks to Google. If not for a Google phone, I would have never purchased an Android phone. I totally love my Nexus One. It opened up the Android space on this blog and some of my posts became popular on the web. It gave a new identity for myself on the web. Android is so open that you can tweak almost anything and everything on your phone. Moreover, you can learn a lot by doing so.

Android development. After getting the phone, the very first thing I did was to download the Android SDK. Though I have gotten my hands dirty on Android development, I have not developed anything big enough to make to the market. But, stay tuned, there is an interesting app coming soon. Also, I have written many small scripts to automate some of my daily tasks like archiving old SMSes, etc.
Any Regrets? Though Nexus One is one of the best smart phones of its generation, it has its own set of problems when compared to other phones. The first item on the list is its Touch sensitivity – on continuous usage the screen becomes sticky and less responsive when compared to Apple devices. The device gets heated up while charging. Apart from these two issues, I don’t have any major complaints with my Nexus One. The device has no front camera and is definitely a drawback. My complete review on Nexus One.
