Google Phone

. He finds a handset that feels great to hold and whose screen is a sight to behold. However, after having touched more than his fair share of mobile phones, he finds a few gotchas that anyone

looking to buy the Nexus One

should consider.

Jay, thanks for the reply, I do enjoy all of your podcasts! I look forward to the Android 2.1 show...Obviously, I'm not a iPhone Fanboy (I actually have a Blackberry), but that being said, the iPhone is the BEST mobile web browsing experience of any smartphone I've ever used. When you do the Android 2.1 show I'd be interested in what you think of the web experience (now w/multi-touch and flash support). Thanks!!

Thanks for the comment! I didn't specifically say that the Nexus One has a removable battery, we did show an image of the back of the phone removed with the removable battery visible. It is a good distinction and worth noting, although the vast majority of Nexus One users won't buy a spare battery even with the option available. We've covered Android in a separate show and a series of tips episodes that dig into the onscreen keyboard in depth. Stay tuned for an upcoming Mr. Mobile where we dig into the changes in Android 2.1.

so Jay, not sure if you're even trying to be unbiased here - re:iPhone Fanboy but in your description of the battery life, did you forget to mention that the Nexus One has a removable batt?? Seems like that would be a difference worth noting. Also, I was interested in what you thought of the virtual keyboard, but alas you didn't mention it....on well. Generally, I like your reviews but this seemed a tad sloppy to me ;)
