They just need to surf to http://www.google.com/phone and order it online from there with a credit card, and the phone gets shipped to their doorstep.

Shahz,

What's the story with Paid Apps on the Nexus with a Maxis SIM? Still no go?

I'm kind of hoping that it'd be possible, since when the older phones were sold through carriers 30% of the revenue would go to the carriers, and with the nexus being carrier-free, they might not need to check which carrier your SIM card is from.

Then again there's also the silly wanting to cater for "sales tax" reason.

MarketEnabler doesn't run on 2.0+/Nexus right? I might have to keep my G1, buy apps there, and transfer them over to the Nexus manually then ...

Regards,
.sha

haha, think there are more so-called "reviews" of the nexus one that there are nexus ones sold ...! 8-)

If you really want the box and other materials, perhaps it could be unfolded and flattened and just posted back from SG as a regular letter, while you carry the phone, pouch and charger with you?

And if customs ask you why you're carrying two phones, and only one has a SIM, you can always say you use to other one with a local prepaid SIM when you're overseas, it's cheaper that way.

Haven't tried any of this. 8-)

Another nexus one user here reporting in,upgrading from my ADP1. Moved over my SIM and 16GB class 6, signed in ... and it's like moving to a bigger house with all my furniture still there.

No unboxing photo as mine was carried loose from singapore, with the accessories in a plastic bag 8-(. Hopefully can get the box later.

Phua,

I don't seem to have any problem with mine as far as I tried today. Used a simple drawing app, repeatedly tap the same place, as expected, the drawing app paints where I tap lah. Quite normal. I installed the OTA update today and the pinch-and-zoom works very smoothly in the browser, gallery and maps app too.

Are you facing a specific problem with your touchscreen on a specific app? Perhaps you can share the exact details, so the rest of us can try to repeat the same to see if it's a general problem or perhaps (shudder) you have a faulty unit?

Get a nexus, and then get an ipod touch for games!

Don't know about IPOH touch, but ipod list prices are on the Malaysian apple store's website:

Haven't checked for it on mine, but here's a thread discussing the issue that some people are facing:

http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/nexus-o...lur-middle.html

Has your phone got the recent OTA update yet?

I tried MagicMarker for you and it works just as it should. Holding down at any point and lifting, you get a point where you hold down. MagicMarker is not a multitouch app however, so if you're expecting it to plot separate points than that is exactly where your problem is -- it doesn't do that.

I also downloaded "Multitouch Visualizer" by Luke Hutchison from the market, and it works as expected.

Some people tend to wrap their fingers around the sides of the phone when holding it, resulting in their fingers touching he sides of the screen and registering as a touch. That's enough to confuse the phone. The way I hold it rarely gives me any issues.

Phua, you have posted more than once on this issue ... just wondering, are you experiencing an actual problem with your phone or just "worried" ? Have you installed the OTA update, and does your pinch-and-zoom work as it should in maps, gallery and the browser?

I tried it again for you, still OK. Never get the green circle somewhere else in multitouch Visualizer.

How are your pinch and zoom in maps, browser and gallery behaving? Any problem?

If your browser and maps are working fine, I suggest you delete all the so called "test" programs and your phone will be 100% in working order! 8-)

If you don't have a problem with pinch and zoom in the browser, maps and gallery, I'd say it was alright. As, after all, you bought your phone to use the features, not to run so-called test programs (which we don't know are accessing the hardware correctly or not to begin with) on it.

If it does affect the browser, maps and gallery ... then you need to consider the effort of pressing one finger a millisecond or so before the other vs the hassle of convincing HTC that it is a defect and also sending it back and getting it replaced under warranty.

Delete those test apps from your phone first and judge it based on how it is meant to be used.

Added on February 14, 2010, 12:29 pmLook at your contacts record ... are their numbers listed as "mobile" or "work" or "home"? The sms msg app will only pick up those contacts that have "mobile" numbers.

Once you've sorted that out, to send the same message to multiple recipients, separate the recipients with a comma in the "To:" field.

Added on February 14, 2010, 12:31 pmBTW: anybody got a copy of fastboot.zip for the nexus? Can pm me or put it up on a site somewhere?

Just decided to unlock my phone, and all the links point to http://www.romraid.com/paul/fastboot.zip, and that link currently redirects to www.modaco.com with no download offering.

8-(

UPDATE: Ignore the above. The fastboot binary for the ADP1 at http://developer.htc.com/adp.html works just fine (I tried the Linux one). Need run "fastboot oem unlock" and while it's "waiting for device", power up your phone with the the trackball pressed.

BTW: If it helps anyone, try this link: https://www.google.com/phone/choose?hl=en&gl=US&s7e= ... takes you directly to the second page, bypassing the IP check. Credit card from MY seems ok, but of course, delivery address limited to the chosen 5 countries.

(Try reload a few times if you get broken link, I think some of the servers serving that page aren't doing too well right now)
