Just found this world looking on google, seriously to ultimately see a great publish about this. Exceptional work! I also such as the blog theme you are generating, where can I download a duplicate of that from?

Seeing as how Vodaphone and 3 are the same company now, I would image that 3 will also be getting the N1 when voda does? or at least shortly thereafter.

Cheers Buzz… I didn’t realize that you need to be family and friends of Telstra staff.

I need 1 GB also which is why I’m still on my Vodafone $69 1 GB cap from when the Magic first came out. The new Samsung on Optus Social cap looks mad.. considering I can keep either the Nexus or the Samsung. But I’m also seriously looking at Exetel.. on a two year contract it’s $0.125 per 30 seconds and 1.5 cents per MB with $10 minimum spend. Then you also have Exetel MoIP VoIP service which can make additional savings. The only thing is the 2 year contract :/

I’m more looking to actually lower my costs.. not get more for the same spend.. damn phone companies.

I was going to get it, but it’ll end up being $78/mo. Because I need 1GB of data.

Hi James,

man i just gave up waiting and 2 days signed up for a Desire on Telstra… got on the Family and Friends deal… $49 a month get $400 worth of calls, 50mb of data (each mb is 25c after that out of the $400)… but call charges are 25c flagfall and 30c for 30seconds… so the calls are WAYYY cheaper than any other provider… so i guess i got a better deal that what will be offered with the Nexus… but vanilla android is tempting though…

oh well all these handsets are starting to get people’s attention i hope!!!

Best thing that happened for Android in the USA was the release of “Droid”… where they went harding advertising it… we have not had anything close to that yet…

I can’t see any other carrier picking it up at all. It’s a global exclusive through Vodafone.

I got one from the US back in Jan and love the hell out of it. Running 2.2 on the three network (even though I work for Optus hehe ). The only real change I’ve made over standard function is adding HTCime keyboard.
People who complain about screen brightness and basically anything else about this phone are just having a winge. Definitely buy it just not on voda as theyre 3g is average at best. Wait for another carrier to pick it up

I have a Nexus One that I imported from the US. Great phone! I have no issue with the screen, touch sensitivity or the trackball. Perhaps I’m just not as fussy as some…

Androiditis (n): that act of waiting forever for a better Android device.

Don’t wait forever, buy that phone that suits you for the time you want it.

Aussie Carriers at their best.

I’ve been looking at a handset like this for a while, however with all the dual core, higher GHz chips due in phones later this year, would it be better to wait? I’m also thinking that although the N1 is 6 or 7 months late in coming to Aus, it might help to drive a bit of android buzz, prompting carriers to release handsets with a shorter time delay.
