Video review: Google's Nexus One smartphone

This Sunday I'll have a long review of Google's much-hyped smartphone.

In the meantime, here's a short video review (please excuse the sub-par quality: I'm stuck with a basic camcorder until we sort the proper HDV videocam out). I really liked this phone. Mainly because:

-- it's really, really fast (thanks to its 1Ghz processor)

-- the touchscreen is incredibly responsive

-- Streetview is amazing on it

-- apps from the Market (Android's app store) run incredibly smoothly on it

Full review this Sunday in the paper.

The phone won't be out here for at least another six weeks, probably longer. So there's no pricing or operator subsidy details yet. However, it costs $530 sim-free in the US. So that could be a guide.
