You want a new Nexus One on T-Mo? Look North!
A new carrier has launched in Canada, and one of their first mobile gadgets is a Google Nexus One--the first to be subsidized in the Great White North. Quebec's Videotron is offering up unlocked N1s at $479.95, and they function on the same bands as T-Mobile US' 3G. After an hour of holding the phone (Videotron is having a very busy launch), an agent confirmed that... Read more » Android Developer Phone 3 back in stock

Did you miss your chance to buy a home or car dock before Google stopped selling them (along with the Nexus One)? Well, fret not, anxious reader, because HTC is now selling those N1 accessories via their online store, and the selection also includes: a travel charger, car charger with microUSB connection kit (for hooking up multiple devices), silicone and metallic...

NASA recently carried out an operation named "NexusOne PhoneSat" which sent a Nexus One into the stratosphere. The goal of the experiment was to test the phone's resilience to G-forces for the purpose of creating smaller satellites. The cellphone was strapped at the back of a rocket and sent 28,000 feet into the stratosphere; the crude Myth-buster way. The N1s shot...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) have teamed up to explore the options for real-time language translation in Afghanistan. Three systems are under testing as part of the TRANSTAC project, and one of those happens to utilize a Nexus One for the real-time translation of English to... Read more » Nexus One via Google direct gone
We all knew this was coming when last week Google announced they would be receiving their last shipments of the Nexus for sale on Google.com/phone, it just happened so fast. Last time this came up, I was sure to mention that the device will still be available through a few other outlets, and it looks like those are your only options now. Vodafone will still carry...

Its been over 6 months since the Nexus One leaped onto the scene and in Android time, that's almost an eternity and yet, I find myself more content with this phone than I have any other I've owned. In the last 6 months great Android phones like the Motorold Droid X, the various versions of the Galaxy S series as well as Sprint's HTC Evo have all launched with...

We all know this was coming guys, and hey, it's definitely nothing personal. Google has stated before that they are very happy with how the Nexus helped propel Android into the next phase of it's life-cycle, and they have now learned form their mistakes. When you look at the fact that Google barely advertised the device and never put it into a retail outlet (in the... Read more » Nexus One power button failure
A few days ago the power button on the Nexus One I'm using stopped working. I don't know why I was surprised at the time, because the power button had always given me trouble when trying to turn on/off the screen. However, I think I was attributing that to the hard gel case I was using. Anyway, I decided to try and call HTC and see if they would replace it, at the... Read more » Nexus One rooted without unlocking the bootloader
Remember that pesky step during the Nexus One rooting process where Google asks if you agree to void your warranty; the one that causes a little unlocked pad lock to be displayed every successive boot? Well some hackers at xda-developers have figured out a new method that circumvents the step in question by using the Unrevoked process for HTC's Incredible. As the... Read more »
