Ye, I noticed the nexus one on eBay going for way over what I paid. I have not heard of any shortage from Google, only people I can see buying them would be people outside of the shipping areas Google set.

 

Almost tempted to buy another and sell.

Sssshhhhhh!

 

If you didn't, what usually happens is that Customs bill you for it... I bought a laptop part a while back - $40 for the part, and I ended up paying £30 in tax/duty when it got here...

Having use the iPhone and now android phones, i would have to say nexus one wins (for me). Not to say the iPhone was not good, its just i get what i had from iPhone and more from my hero/nexus.

 

There are some good nexus vs iPhone vids on youtube.

what are the limitations with buying from the us? I understand the phone is unlocked but does the fact it is us affect the use in uk at all?

Only thing that really affects us is the previously mentioned US Apple patent on the multi-touch. This will be fixed with a software upgrade for Europe, but no date set as of yet :(

 

As for network, i don't have HSDPA on my nexus now, only 3G. It still works as i need it, can watch live BBC TV still.

Mine wasn't dispatched until the 8th, 2 days after the order was placed, so, as it was with DHL it may be here tomorrow, in time for my departure for BETT.

Well, using #BETT as a guide.

 

Full charge 05:00. Used on train from Preston to London for Bluetooth tethering internet on laptop.

Few pics, phone calls, quick video, twittering and died around 14:30 (ish) looking on the edugeek site.

 

Me, I would say that was a bloody good battery. :)

Mine was waiting for me when I got home :) It's a far, far better phone than the Touch HD. I particualrly like the voice ecognition and the 'Car Mode'. The car mode is so you can stick it in a cradle and use either the voice recognition to activate the sat-nav or make phone calls. There are also extra large icons to make it easy to select the functions if you wish. A very, very tidy phone.
