So turns out Google didn’t cancel the Beijing event at which it planned to evangelize its new Nexus One Android smartphone. It couldn’t cancel because the company had never arranged to hold an Android event in Beijing in the first place. Asked to comment on a Reuters report claiming Google’s roadshow was skipping the Chinese capital, a company spokesperson told me that the report is erroneous. “The reports are incorrect,” she said. “There was not a Nexus One launch event scheduled in Beijing. Google is hosting 3 Android Developer Labs in Asia over the next couple weeks in Singapore, Taipei, and Hong Kong. These are technical events for developers who want to build applications for Android. We never planned to hold an Android Developer Lab in Beijing, and suggestions that we did plan one are not true.”

The Nexus One has been making a splash in North America for a couple of months, but many in Europe have been wondering when they will be able to get their hands on it. According to the Telegraph, the Nexus One will be on sale in April on Vodafone.
The Nexus One represents a first for Google as the phone can be purchased directly from the company with no contract. Buying a Nexus One without a contract can be quite expensive, although, if you’re planning to stick with the carrier for the typical two years, you can buy it with subsidy as it will save you money up front but may cost you more in the end.
Although the phone has been given much praise, there are some questions still lingering about the quality of its screen despite the claim that it’s a software related issue.

The Nexus One is introduced by Google as the next step in Android evolution and the hardware found on is really impressive to say the least. As it was rumored, it packs a giant 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen with a resolution of 480×800 pixels. The handset is also featuring the Snapdragon chipset with a processor, clocked at 1GHz. It runs on the Android 2.1 operating system.
Just today, FCC passed the new Nexus One possible hitting to Verizon Wireless and/or Sprint. HTC PB99300 is the ID model for the Nexus One CDMA version.

Google appears to have changed policies, rules, and other frequent targets of complaint to the Nexus One. The early termination fee was the subject of much scrutiny originally, because due to a combination of Google’s termination fee, plus T-Mobile’s, if a customer decided to cancel within the first 4 months of the contract of their Nexus One, they were stuck with a $550 combined termination fee. This was more than the cost of an unlocked Nexus One. Now, Google has reduced their termination fee, resulting in a combined termination fee of $350 if you cancel within the first 4 months of the contract. This is equal to Verizon’s.
Customer support has also been a subject of frequent debate with Google. Prior to now, the only way to get any support from Google was via a community forum. Posts were slow and infrequent, and didn’t always have the information people needed to solve their problem. Now, two support phone numbers have been set up. One for ordering issues through Google, and another for technical support via HTC (the manufacturer of the phone).
It remains to be seen if any of these will actually affect the bottom line of the Nexus One, but we’ll find out within the next couple of months.

So you’ve got the latest superphone from Google and for some strange reason, that 1GHz Snapdragon processor just isn’t fast enough. What’s an AndroidGuy to do? Overclock it yo! One of the guys over at XDA Developers, persiansown, has found a way to overclock his Nexus One and get speeds of 1.113GHz. Not only is this faster, but according to him, it’s stable as well. Ever the giving hacker, persiansown is providing the kernel and step-by-step instructions. First up, you’ll need root access and Cyanogen’s latest ROM.

If we were to run a one-word review of the HTC Legend then that word would be ‘WANT’. In capitals. We’re really smitten with this phone’s smooth metal casing and rubberised chin – as we’ve said before it looks a lot like a minature version of the aluminium MacBook. HTC’s Sense user interface has been given a revamp and includes a new viewing mode called ‘Leap’. Best described as ‘helicopter mode’, it allows you to pinch in and view of all your home screens at once, so you can hover between menus without having to thumb through them individually. That said, while the screen measures a not inconsiderable 3.2-inches, both the Google Nexus One and the HTC Bravo pack slightly bigger 3.7-inch displays.

Nexus One owners are still encountering serious problems keeping and holding a 3G signal despite the over-the-air update from last week, users are reporting. In spite of the supposed improvements, many still note their Android devices …

Looks like the last OTA update for the Nexus One seemed to be focused primarily on features, rather than fixes. The update that enabled multi-touch in the Browser, Gallery, and Maps applications also promised to fix the 3G problems that had been plaguing Nexus One users since the launch of the device.

For those of who still have spotty 3G reception on the Nexus One, there’s some hope. A leaked firmware upgrade that possibly fixes this once and for all. Although there’s a catch: it’s uses Google Maps 3.4, which is the version where Google Buzz isn’t around. You wouldn’t want that, would you? So in the meantime you’ll have to wait until Google (hopefully) brings everything together and issues — another update.

By now everyone should have seen the Google Nexus One update (called 2.1-update1) pushed out to their phones. (If not, you can always update manually.) Aside from pinch-to-zoom being turned on in a handful of apps, the update contained a fix for the apparent problems the phone was having keeping a 3G connection on T-Mobile.
However, our pals at JKOnTheRun still saw issue after the update, and there are other reports, as well. And so we put it to you, gentle folk. How’s your T-Mobile 3G reception after last week’s update?

January has come and gone and the results of last months sales figures for the Google Nexus One are in. It appears that sales of the Google smartphone topped out at 80,000 units for the month. The trend appears to be a continuation of week one when Google saw 20,000 units sold.
For an ordinary smartphone, these figures would be considered respectable, but most people in the tech world had very high expectations of Google simply because, well, it’s Google. For comparisons sake, the original Apple iPhone that launched in June 2007 saw 600,000 units sold in its first month while the Motorola Droid saw 250,000 units sell in its first month back in November 2009.
All is not doom and gloom though. Remember, both the iPhone and the Droid had better mobile carrier support then the Nexus One which is restricted to T-Mobile. Additionally, although the sales figures haven’t been strong, they have been consistent through the month. If sales of the Google Nexus One can remain consistent until the Google phone gets picked up by Vodafone and Verizon this spring, we could see some much better numbers by the time summer roles around.

Still not convinced you need to make the jump from your iPhone 3GS to the Google Nexus One? Google and HTC (manufacturers of the device) have released a new video in their Nexus One video series, which shows some serious top notch stress testing for the device.
In this new video HTC shows off the manufacturing process for the Google Nexus One, then they show a very cool bend test that puts more stress on the device that you’ll probably ever manage.
Watch the video below to see the unit dropped, bent, poked at and slammed with no consequences we could notice to the device.
