Is The Nexus One Not Pocket Friendly?
March 6, 2010
Cracked phones are nothing new, after all, folks drop them, sit on them, and who knows what else? That being said, the folks by at CNET apparently had their Nexus One just spontaneously crack (and leave an ugly purple hue). The phone wasn’t dropped or anything, but was just sitting on the desk being charged. When taken for inspection to HTC, it was mentioned by a HTC person that “public sometimes forget that they don't go in pockets,” which is rather weird, considering most folks tend to keep their mobile phones in their pockets. certain, whether you keep it in your back pocket and sit on it, that’s your fault, but not everybody keeps it in their back pocket. The cost of replacing a cracked screen is £180 ($272), which is rather pricey. Regardless of whatever phone you’re using, it’s certainly a good concept to form certain you don’t get the screen cracked, as it’s rarely ever cheap to replace. that story actually reminds us of the physical testing that the Nexus One is subjected to, and that certainly looks a lot more brutal than being put in your pocket.

Google Puts China Cell Phones On Hold
February 10, 2010
It seems that Google’s argument with the government of China has escalated slightly. The search engine giant has now delayed the debut of two mobile phones that were designed to hook up with its Web services in China. The phones we’re talking about were made by Motorola and Samsung, and are powered by Google’s Android OS, with China Unicom Ltd destined to be the carrier for those phones. Aside from that, there isn’t any mention of Google’s Nexus One either, though to be fair, the Nexus One is currently only available in the USA, Hong Kong, Singapore and the UK. Considering the number of phones that China has, losing one or two phones isn’t going to be a big deal, though whether it becomes a trend; it probably would be detrimental to both parties. Do you think Google will eventually pull out of China, or will the Chinese government relax its stand?
