I just ordered mine.

For those planning to order it through your lubang in US, please take into account the applicable sales tax. For eg. my purchase got 8.75% CA sales tax.

Yes 5. Right now only 4 is confirmed shipping. Other units are still no response.

I'm just wandering whether the malaysian kastam will still tax the phone upon arrival to here.
I know you can appoint private company such as FEDEX or DHL but can you run away from tax this way?

i'm so excited, i woke up to see if my order's been shipped D:

Thats why you guys have to use Fedex or DHL..if you guys are going to use US post, your phone might be caught in customs and be sent back to google..No kidding..You guys heard of Microsoft Zune player? Only available in US and Canada..Im one of the proud Malaysians to own it too..My friend shipped Zune using US post and when it reached Malaysia, the customs got their hands on it and sent it back (fortunately) to my friend..Then he used DHL to send to me and it got right to my doorstep Another key is, dont tell your friends to be so excited writing "Google Nexus One" as the package content..lol..Just type "gift" so you will be safe..

tera, the trackball is same as on Hero according to my friend..he did say about the trackball having "tricolors"..I'm guessing it can change its glow colors..Size wise will be the same though..I personally find the trackball really cool especially when it "breathes" with light glows..So much that sometime I take time to reply to my SMSes just to see the trackball flashing (on Hero that is)..haha

jepertine90 if you're expecting that from Maxis, I dare to say it will never happen..You know why Nexus One is here and what its main mission is..With Maxis offering its rival, there is no way this phone will get into Maxis' packages..Go to their center, and see their latest phone deals..Even the latest HTC winmo are being offered with packages but none of the androids See the competition here? hehe

Then again, Google's domination on internet is so powerful that they can definitely make Android a success without any telco..Iphone has issues with networks in US which I am guessing Google has take as a lesson and hence sell N1 as unlocked phone..Really smart step..Ever wondered if one day, suddenly google blocked its services on iPhone, what will happen? Apple needs Google..Google doesnt need Apple..No hard feelings Apple lovers..I'm a mac user..just not iphone lover...haha..I can see many people coming to our family here from iphone..I can feel you guys

You guys dare to bet with me? By 2011 end and before 2012 beginning, Android will win over iphone's sales if not earlier than that..

bro... how long is the shipping period?? i'll be going off to HK sometime next month for training... was wondering if i could order it when i reach.. or should i order somewhere nearing my training and have a friend hold on ready for me to collect??

For US, it supposed to be overnight. Not sure about HK though

When someone receive Nexus One, please post a video of UNBOXING!!!

Interesting. I'll be in CA next week. Will be interesting if able to get one.......by the way, you're paying with your own CC? Can Malaysia CC pay for it but shipping address put in hotel address or my US office address.

I stumbled at a quite' horror' stories/problems at google phone forum; about the N1's unreliable 3G connection. But, wait and see.

Thank you

how will the battery life be?
does it takes a long to charge like iphone?

Have anyone buy this phone from google website? can it ship directly to malaysia?

No the phone only ship to HK Sg USA UK

Thats what i'm doing now. I'm shipping it over to my friend's hotel room and he'll bring it back for me.

every smartphone have short battery life...so don expect too much
i compare my iphone 3g with my fren's HTC Dream(G1) n mine last longer than him even he off wifi,3g,etc maybe because of the background application
so i think N1 almost the same but who cares? i love the specs n the design...i m happy with my iphone n it wil lb great if i have andriod n apple together with me... haha

*i am google's fan too

@shaz,

I concur. Some of the important apps which apple offers in iphone is dependent on google. Maps for instance. Without google's support, the GPS is rendered useless.

I dont think the battery life will be that short..If it has a good CPU management, then it supposedly wont hog the battery that much..Its about the ROM you use too..If you compared Magic with a shipping ROM with iPhone, then I do expect it to lose..But if its on Modaco ROM, I doubt it..My Hero lasted 5 days without charging at maximum battery saving mode..How? I was travelling, and forgot to bring the charging cable..My battery was still about 85% and I switched off the mobile internet, wifi and GPS altogether..Used Hero like a 3310 (just call and sms) and I was really surprised it pulled from Monday to Friday without a single charge..That was on Modaco 2.9..Go ahead, and do that with the iPhone if it can My brother is using iPhone and he is complaining about version after 3.0 having no wirless cut-off switch at all..He's on prepaid and his internet was used in the backend sucking up almost RM30 form his prepaid..He was so pissed..I don't even know why did iPhone remove the previously available mobile data cutoff switch..Luckily Android's buttons are straightforward..Cut it and it doesnt use the internet at all..

@Verain Exactly..Thats why Google can really dominate the online world..I'm eager to get my hands on Google Earth on my N1 soon..Yes..Earth..Not Maps

I have to say I am really addicted to Android as if its a dose of cocaine..I seem to type a lot when its related to Android..lol..Maybe I really should start blogging..haha..

I will write an extensive review on the Nexus One when mine arrives..You guys want images or video?

A lot of pic with single vid. waiting for ur review. If possible I will do a mini review or nexus one vs htc magic soon inside ur topic coz got forumer willing to give me opportunity to play his N1 when his phone arrive next weekend. I hope u could let me to do so.

Haha..why wouldn't I let you do it? In fact, thats a great idea!

Shah. We have google earth too. Practically most of google's offering we will have it in the phone. The only thing which google does not share with iPhone is streetview. To me this is androids trump card over iPhone. There are times you wish you could see some 3d monument scene rather than looking on 2d images or maps.

You can ask your brother to jailbreak the iPhone and install sb setting.

Certainly looking forward on your review. My anticipation would be on live wallpaper and the great picture gallery.
