Getting the Nexus One in Malaysia

By On · 13 Comments · In Uncategorized

At long last, I finally got the phone I’ve been raving again and again bout. I blogged about it here and here. I tweeted about it. I researched about it. I was obsessed about it. And finally i decided to buy it.

Yes I got my new baby. The one and only Google Nexus One. ^_____________^ I had a good reason for ‘wasting’ my cash. Unfortunately my n97 of one year decided to hang a lot on me.It lagged to the point it wasn’t funny. So I drove myself to Low Yat for a big Sam mentioned that the place may have it.

To my absolute delight. They did have the phone which was stated not available in Malaysia. So yeah anyone who wants the phone they can just drop by to Low Yat and get it. Prices are like so.

I didn’t check anywhere else. I paid about RM2570 for mine, the actual price was RM2400 but i did an installment plan. You can just google search for the Nexus One at the Low Yat Forum. That is honestly the cheaper option if you don’t mind parting with that walloping amount of cash.

Now lets move to taking some snapshots hehe. This may get heavy :)

Second thought make a video. Too many pictures to put up. Straight to the point.

This is just phase one of my trying to convince people that android with the Nexus One is the way to go.

Birth of Google Nexus One

A couple of days ago, i raved about how I want a Google Nexus. Then after filtering through some tweets and Mashable posts. I came across this wonderful video by Google of how Google Nexus One came to be :)

 

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. :P 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 WANT Google Nexus One!

***Please please permit me to go all geekly on this post and don’t mind the occasional drool.***

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 :P

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. :P
