If you are really interested the name Nexus one is a Philip K Dick reference from the book 'Do Androids dream of electric sheep?'. The name of the Androids in the book was Nexus. Philip K Dicks daughter is threatening to sue Google.

I did read that in the news actually. Google do like dick it seems (android, nexus)...
I can't believe no-one has yet mentioned horseshoe quarry.

Define "better" Hardware spec?Ease of use (e.g. accuracy of touch typing on a screen)?Quality of pictures?Besides which there is no "best" phone, there are phones that are most suited to an individuals requirements.
Has anyone got first (or indeed second) hand experience of using an N900 yet? I see they've just started doing it on O2. I can upgrade in June and was thinking of going for an N86 but the N900 looks pretty fucking cool (for the sake of an extra £5 or so a month depending on how conducive to blagging O2 are at the moment).Thing is, I'm not a massive geek when it comes to these things but I could do with something that works well for internet browsing, email and other simple shit. I don't want an iphone because everyone's got one, I think they're gay, the camera is shit and I'm not overly keen on only having touchscreen, plus I've always been a Nokia fan.Is it going to be worth my while getting an N900 or will it do 1000000 things I don't need it to and therefore leave me thinking I should have just got the N86 instead?
I know someone who's got one and he really likes it. Haven't had a play myself as I don't see him that often, but my neighbour who does seem him more frequently has been very impressed and is likely to make the switch as he's due to upgrade from his N95.The N900 is running a customised Linux distro
Are they ubergeeks like you though slackers or nearer to the tech-idiot level that I'm at?
