Now, of course everyone seems to have one question about the device --is this the be-all-end-all Android phone / iPhone eviscerator? In twowords: not really. The thing that's struck us most (so far) about theNexus One thus far is the fact that it's really not very different thanthe Droidin any substantial way. Yes, we'd say the design and feel of the phoneis better (much better, in fact), and it's definitely noticeably fasterthan Motorola's offering, but it's not so much faster that we felt likethe doors were being blown off. It is very smooth, though westill noticed a little stuttery behavior (very slight, mind you) whenmoving between home pages. Still, opening applications and movingbetween them was super speedy, as was Google maps, and any area of thephone where you've got to get through long lists. Don't get us wrong,the phone cooks -- but it's not some paradigmatic shift for Android.



Google has also included some visual enhancements you've probably heardabout, and minor UI tweaks which make getting around the OS a bit moredirect. Firstly, there are a set of really snazzy looking "live"wallpapers, some of which react to touch, but all animate in thebackground while you're on the homescreen. The company has also changedup its application menu navigation a bit, killing the sliding drawerfor a more direct home button and overlay of the icons (which no longerscroll off the page normally, but wrap around a 3D cube on the edges).Google has also expanded the amount of homescreens to five, and givesyou quick navigation to them by long pressing on the new "dots" whichrepresent pages not in view. While most UI details look and feel thesame, from just a bit of typing the keyboard does seem more responsiveand accurate, and we're guessing the Snapdragon helps there as well.Throughout the phone there are also new animations and flourishes whichmake Android 2.1 feel way more polished than previous iterations(including the Droid's 2.0.1), though it's still got a ways to go tomatching something like the iPhone or even Pre in terms of fit andfinish. Regardless, it's clear Google has started thinking about notjust function but form as well, and that's very good news for Androidaficionados.

We're going to have a lotmore info and a full review coming in just a few days, but for now,feast your eyes on the video and gallery, and hang tight for more NexusOne goodness. Oh, and if you've got some questions on the device, shoutthem out in comments and we'll try to answer and / or cover them in thereview.
