I may have gotten a little impatient while waiting for my Nexus One to update to Froyo.

So I took my phone into my own hands and followed some instructions online on how to force the update onto your phone. Turns out, it’s not so painful, but the instructions are less than clear. So I combined some together, made a video, and hopefully it should be simple now!

Check out the details below.

So the big news of the past few days is that Twitter have rolled out their own Twitter application to a major mobile platform – Android (n.b. I still refuse to count Blackberry as major or a platform).

Obviously I cut straight to it and got it installed – and was quite surprised by what I found.

If you see me on a somewhat regular basis (or read a few posts on my site here and there) you’re probably sick to death of me harping on about how awesome my Nexus One is.

If this is you, or you are totally in love with your iPhone and won’t have a bad word said about it (or you have something better to be doing than reading arguments about mobile phones) then this post probably isn’t for you.

For the rest of you, here is a very simple reason the Nexus One is the best phone ever made, and why it will be difficult to knock it from that post.

Google Nexus One

What better way to write about the Nexus One, than on the Nexus One itself?

But first, a little history.

Until a few days ago, I had had a Nokia E61i, my then favourite phone of all time. Full QUERTY keyboard, S60 OS power, good 3G and E-mail, but most of all my loyal companion for many years.

For a short while (while that was out of commission) I had had an original iPhone; I found that a rather painful device, as my numerous posts on the subject gently hint at.

And last Thursday we embarked on the next phase – a Nexus One appeared on my desk.

Here’s my thoughts on the phone, having had it in my hands for a few short days.

So here it is, the unboxing of the Nexus One.

More about what I think of the phone itself are to come soon; but this is just a really early glance at the device. I couldn’t even turn it on for a few hours because it was charging (and I was supposed to be working).

Couple of things I will say for it though; first of all its a truly stunning piece of hardware. It also gave my camera an extremely hard time because it is so shiny and there was so much light – so excuse the slightly blurry ones.

The packaging was excellent too, very sturdy, well put together and thoughtful throughout. I liked the Google 4-colour accents around the bottom rim of the box – a nice touch.

Without further ado, on to the gallery!
