Give me the stock Google experience to start with. I can modify it from there. If you want a mass-market friendly UI, wait for the HTC Incredible. It’s the same phone to come out soon and I’m sure Verizon will bastardize the UI.

Here’s the even bigger question for me (now that the story has been corrected)

WHY are they only making the phone available online? I still have yet to actually physically hold one of these phones. If they want them to really sell, people need to be able to play around with it (a-la the apple store has 20 damn iPhones you can try out).

Even if they just had a demo and then they brought you over to a computer to buy it off the web site. This is very frustrating as I hate buying stuff sight unseen.

I dont care it can have darn sense ui or da android watever.. Either way if folks want the phone bad enough they will get it. I personally love the design of the nexus one over the other android phones thats why I want it so bad. Ive been without a phone for over a month waiting for it to come to VZW.. I have to say im pissed off that Google wont let the darn phone be sold in the verizon store. I think they would sale many more phones if they sold them in the stores like Tmobile Verizon and Best Buy Mobile. Its not like Google has a local store in every state so people can go to the store and pick up the device right away. We have waited long enough now we have to order online and then wait for it to ship to us? One last thing I hear that if your nexus one is defected and you need a replacement that Google charges your credit or debit card for the phone then ships out the new one and then when they recieve the defected device they then credit the money back to your account.. Is this correct or just BS.. If this is true how will thousands of folks without a credit card gonna be able to make this purchase/get a replacement if needed? Or if you have a debit card like I have. Would if I havent any extra cash to fork over to Google just for them to send me out a replacement?? I guess I’ll just be crap outta luck huh? I find this very stupid on Googles part. Think of the purchaser. Everyone doesnt have money to just loan out. All in all I know I really want a Nexus One I just think Google would have much more phones sold if they sold it in stores. It would be much better for all of us. Sorry this is so long lol..

What so great about Sense U!

No Sense on the Nexus One. Verizon corrected the typos regarding Sense and the url to get the phone.

[...] Android Central posted a leak document that said the Nexus One would feature HTC’s Sense UI. Many people questioned the information and pointed out several typos. In addition to Sense UI, [...]

The danger being that Sense may not public domain like Vanilla Android. Meaning an excuse not to leave the unlocked bootloader on the VZW N1. Disasterous for me looking for the first truly open phone. Sense is cool but from playing with a Moto Droid, vanilla 2.x seems fine. I’ll take Sense but not at the expense of loosing root at will. Please don’t do that to us Google.

Excellent point. That’s the larger question really. If people have a choice of 3 phones (Nexus One, Desire and Incredible) with very similar specs, all on Verizon, all with Sense UI, what would make someone buy the Nexus One off Google’s web site vs. walking into a Verizon store and buying the Incredible or Desire, after having a chance to hold it, play with it, etc? Personally, I have a Family plan with Verizon and if buying the Nexus One on Google’s web site doesn’t work with a Family Plan, I’ll be forced to wait for the Incredible or Desire. Sort of calls into question Google’s strategy of selling phones on the web…

I concur, Clearly, Google see the advantages of having a flashplayer on their superphone. A budding opportunity for their flagship device. More details: http://bit.ly/nexus-one-flash-updates-and-mashup
