Folks over at Engadget have got their hands on the Google Nexus One and their first impression of the device is “Nexus One thus far is .. not very different than the Droid in any substantial way.”. Yes, the phone does feel a tad faster to work with when compared to Droid, thanks to its 1Ghz Snapdragon processor. But the difference there is not by much. Also, like most other Android handsets, Nexus One doesn’t support multitouch gestures like pinch-to-zoom in browser and Google Maps app even though the operating system is fully capable of it.
Having said that, Nexus One has all the hardware power to take the crown of the most powerful Android based handset available today. You can check out all the unboxing pictures and first hands-on impression video of Nexus One over at Engadget here. See the video and judge it for yourself on whether or not this was the iPhone killer you were waiting for!
Google is expected to unveil Nexus One in the upcoming Android event to be held on January 5th, at its Headquarters in Mountain View, California.

No one wants to kill the iPhone. I'm just tiered of Apple being so damn strict. Im ok with restrictions from the government but not from a freaking computer maker. I love my iPhone but I like love the freedom to do whatever the heck I please on my electronics.

I have the same opinion. I enjoy using my iPhone for what it is. The Apple and 3rd party apps are great, the GUI is polished and the iTunes integration with the iPod app is slick, but the thing is just way behind the mark when it comes to usability on a technical level, not to mention areas of the hardware are getting a little… “old”. Main highlights for me are:
* Capacitive touch screen (resistive were the reason the iPhone's was so good)
* USB storage and utility functions!
* Actual Bluetooth functionality
* Gmail integration
* High resolution screen
* Bigger battery
* Nice, sleek design
As much as I've enjoyed using the iPhone, I'm starting to get very frustrated with Steve Jobs' megalomaniac draconian way. iPhone OS is becoming the most idiot friendly device, and this isn't a good thing for a lot of people (like me).
