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!
