The Google Nexus One
The Google Nexus One Package
After waiting for more than two weeks, the Google Nexus One I ordered finally arrived. I purchased the Nexus One phone from Google last February 25. I was expecting it to arrive in a week after the phone was received in Kuya Jay’s mailbox in California. Apparently, due to the delay in the courier service going to Manila, the phone which was expected to arrive in a week, arrived in Makati last Friday (March 12). After receiving a message from Kuya Jay, I immediately rushed to the courier’s office to pick up my phone (which, by the way, is only a couple of blocks away from where I work).
Here are some of the un-boxing photos. :shy:
One advantage of getting the Google Nexus One directly from Google (http://www.google.com/phone/) is that you have the option to have your name, URL, quote, motto or any text you like to be engraved/printed at the back of your phone. Here’s mine:
Here’s my blog viewed on my Nexus One.
Another thing I like about this phone, aside from the superb integration between my phone and my online Google services, is that it lets me compose blog entries using the WordPress Android application. Here’s an example of blogging using Nexus One. I wasn’t able to make thorough testing of my new phone since I was away to Nagsasa Cove last weekend.
I’m happy with my new phone. Keeping myself from buying an iPhone paid off after I got the Nexus One. This is yet another gadget I bought from my blogging earnings.
It was just a coincidence that I was wearing my white Google shirt on that day.
P.S. Thanks to Kuya Jay for patiently helping me get my NX1.

Originally sharing his experiences of being a "yagit" in Davao, he now tries to find his luck in the busy district of Makati. He still finds time to blog and go on weekend trips despite his hectic schedule. Join Batang Yagit, now that he has developed from "rags" to a more abundant supply of rags.
WOW…ganda winz… :-D congratz!!! ;-)
wooot. thanks kai. :)
Nice! Finally your new expensive toy arrived :P
I bet wala pa sa twenty ang meron n’yan dito sa ‘Pinas :P
:P isip isip isip na naman ng mabibili. :P
Teka preno muna nabili mo na goal mo this year eh :|
…. unless kotse yan wehehe :P
Yeah. Ayaw kasi tanggapin ng Google ang Winston kaya
Ngek!
Like like like like!
bili ka rin Cai. weeeee!
Winston, how’s the mobile provider comaptaibility? wala bang problems? I mean, no need for any tinkering para gumana yung local sims natin for the Nexus One?
Local SIM works fine. I’m using Smart Prepaid on my nexus one and so far I’m not having major problems except for the lack of 3G connectivity in my office. It works fine for both 3G and 2G modes. :) For 3G connectivity, there’s still a need for a little tweaking since Smart and Globe currently have no OTA settings for Google Nexus One. :)
Ikaw pa lang at si Aileen ang alam kong merong Google Nexus One.
Si Kuya Andrew meron na rin. :D
Wow.. Congratulations.. Ganda ng Phone!
Hehhe. Woooot. Bili ka na rin. :D
ayus si batang yagit, bonggang bongga na! palitan na yan wag na yagit, batang rich na ;-)
Batang sosyal pede. :rotfl:
Congrats! Now I’m fighting the urge to spend *that* much money for just a phone. Must. Fight. Hard. :rotfl:
I found it hard too, considering that I also bought a different expensive phone two months ago. :P
ang gastos ni yagit.. amf :P
:P
Woot! This is a great phone. Question, is it compatible with our local carriers?
Yeah it is. It’s a quadband phone so it prolly works on all types of cellular networks across the globe. I havent tried mms though since smart doesn’t have config N1 yet.
paaaak, kelangan magsipag. Iniinggit ako ni Aileen last time when I saw her unit in an event. Sayang kabibili ko lang ng phone months ago. LOL
Ako rin eh kakabiliblang ng phone nung last week of december. Huhuhuu
My ghad mas natulala ko sa imow LCD kay sa imow phone!!! (haha)
Hahaha. That’s a little smaller than jehzlau’s.
Hey hey hey! Nice gadget!! Can’t wait to see how the WordPress Android app works. Is it better than the iPhone app?
Almost similar i think. :D
Nice one yagit :) pinaimprenta mo rin yung domain mo sa likod ng phone?
