I don’t know about the rest of you. I thoroughly enjoy watching how things form As in how an idea first came to be. Then how someone took that idea and gave it a shape. After giving it a shape they then make it into a reality… yeah i’m such a nerd in that respect. And to think i didn’t like history in my school days.

and yes yes i know this story has been floating about for some times and i’m only sharing it now.. yes yes.. you still can’t stop me from sharing it. heehee

I’ve already gotten myself a Nokia N97 last year. I was waiting for that phone to come out and i got really excited bout the specs. However, yes.. i know, the phone i was harping on has been dethroned from my list. Short from the fact that i own it, of course

I’m now toying with the idea of getting the Google Nexus One. Oh my GOSH!!! After checking it out on the Google Nexus One site, checking out reviews on youtube. I’m a sold bunny. I believe in android!

The only annoying part of the entire image above, is the little grey box that says “Sorry, the Nexus One is not available in your country.”  

This was the video that had me completely sold. Now I just wish that Google Nexus will come to my stores soon. If not.. well there is always Singapore. Which according to Saadkamal price of Google Nexus in my ringgit currency would be

$529, Shipping DHL – $28.32 + there is a 7% vat in SG which is $37. SO total = US $595 (Aprox – RM 2,000). 4-7 days..

After going around online and doing some virtual reserach (since i couldn’t get my hands on the real thing) I landed on Youtube. I want to express my utmost appreciation for Lisa from MobileTechReview.

She gave a wonderful breakdown of the phone which you can watch here.

And after that what i really wanted to know was whether I could live without a keypad in the future if i do consider getting the Google Nexus. According to Lisa, the other phone in the market which is similar in terms of OS, functionality and roughly in size is the Motorola Droid. The only big difference is that The Droid has a keypad. Something which i’m still very much comfortable with. Here is the difference between the two.

I’m still a keypad person, however i do like the look of the Google Nexus. I may complain about how i can’t live without a keypad. It’s just a matter of getting used to. Playing around with my Ipod Touch, typing isn’t so bad. As long as you cut your nails and there is the option for the keyboard to be shown in landscape format, i think typing on a keyboardless gadget is reasonable.

There were some comparisons on the Iphone too. I have been getting suggestions to wait for the new Iphone 4 which will be out soon too. Well i hope Apple will get it right especially after their iPad let down. For me anyway.
