Nexus one comes with a really cool camera (much better than Apple iPhone 3GS) and also associated apps. The camera app can be used to shoot video. That’s a no brainer I agree. But the interesting thing is, you can share the clips taken via camera app directly on YouTube!!

In order to do that, you first have to switch to the camcorder by pressing on the switch near the record button. Shoot your clip, then go to Menu and select Gallery. With a clip selected, go to Menu and select Share. Select YouTube, login, and upload.

So damn simple and easy to use, isn’t it?

This is what it reads-

With the launch of the first Android-powered device just over a year ago, we’ve seen how a powerful, open platform can spur mobile product innovation. And this is just the beginning of what’s possible.
Please join us in Mountain View on January 5, for an Android press gathering.

Too many clues point to the same thing – Nexus One launch/announcement. The event might also cover the release of Android OS 2.1, but Nexus One announcement is bound to steal the show.

It’s very possible that part of Google’s “shock factor” with the Nexus One isn’t with the phone itself or applications on the phone, but with how your phone can interact with other pieces of hardware with the new Bluetooth APIs now found in Android 2.0

Saw that? Sure, it’s very much the same as most Android 2.0 devices like Droid. But there are some changes, like the replacement of the app tray with that home icon. Stay tuned for more videos.

Gizmodo has published a hands-on report of Google phone a.k.a Nexus one. It’s thin, it’s fast, it’s better in every way compared to Motorola Droid.

Nexus One Looks

The Nexus One is slightly thinner than the iPhone 3GS, and slightly lighter. No hard specs were thrown around, unfortunately, since Google didn’t even let people who they gave the phone to know that. The back is definitely not cheap and plasticky, like the iPhone’s backing, and feels like some sort of rubbery material. So, not smooth like the iPhone, but not as rubbery as the Droid. It’s halfway in-between.

The design of Nexus One is smooth, curved, and light, instead of hard, square and pointy. It feels long and silky and natural in your hand, even more so than the iPhone 3GS. There are also three gold contacts on the bottom designed for future docking use, but there aren’t any accessories available for the phone now. It plugs in via microUSB at the moment.

Nexus One Screen

Even though the screen is the same size and same resolution as the Droid, it’s noticeably better. The colors are much more vibrant and the blacks are blacker, as evidenced by putting both side by side and hitting up various websites and loading various games. The same feeling carries over when you compare the Nexus with the iPhone 3GS. And it’s pretty damn bright, compared to the other two phones.

Nexus One Speed

Nexus One looks much faster than Motorola Droid. The speed dominance was most evident when we compared the loading of webpages, but even when you’re just scrolling around, launching apps and moving about the OS, you could tell that there’s a beefier brain inside the N1.

When comparing the three phones in loading a webpage over Wi-Fi, the Nexus One loaded first, the iPhone 3GS came in a few seconds later, and the Droid came in a little while after that. This was constant throughout many webpage loads, so it’s indicative of something going on inside with the hardware.

Nexus One Camera

The 5-megapixel camera is nice, and the flash works well enough for a flash on a phone, but it’s not spectacular, as seen by early photos taken and uploaded online by Googlers. There is autofocus, and you activate it with the trackball on the face of the phone. There is no tap-to-focus as see on the iPhone 3GS.

There’s no multitouch in the browser or in the map, but I think at this point that’s more of a legal consideration than a technical one, since many phones that run Android have the capability of supporting multitouch on a hardware level.

Verdict

If Google’s planning on releasing this phone as their official Google phone, it’ll certify them as the premium Android phone brand out there right now. Even though it doesn’t have a hardware keyboard, it basically beats the hell out of the Droid in every single task that we threw at it. N1’s onscreen keyboard felt fine, and the speedy processor made sure that each key was interpreted well.

But in the end, it’s still an Android phone. If you want Android phones, this is the one to get, provided Google goes ahead with the rumored plans of either selling it themselves or partnering with T-Mobile in a more traditional role. Droid, shmoid; Nexus is the one you’re looking for.
