Hey Chad, good to hear you got it...

Um, to be honest, I didn't even realize that handsent did that.
As for I phone, I would doubt it, their pretty locked down from what I've heard. But ya never know.

I think you would need to use some sort of instant messenger, or skype. It would be nice if Google voice was available here. But yeah.

Just show all

Cheers

It wasn't locked to any network when I got it, if that's what you mean.

Some people also refer to "rooting" the phone as unlocking to... (unlocking the boot loader).
So if that's what you meant, then no the boot loader was not unlocked and still isn't.
the only reason you would need to do this is if you

I wanna ask if you did unlock your nexus one? Or it is already unlocked, when you received it?

2010-04-18T14:03:19.671+10:00

The wall charger will work on power points rated from 100 - 240V and 50 - 60Hz so its pretty much universal.
The only problem is the pins are straight up and down instead of being on an angle like normal plugs are in Australia.
Two options to fix this are, buy a cheap travel adaptor from DS, jaycar electronics or the like. The other option is... use a pair of pliers to bend the pins so

2010-04-18T12:48:34.710+10:00

If you can't get the whole image selected using the cropping tool, then I would assume that the image is not in the right aspect ratio/dimension/resolution.

I just opened an image from the gallery that I had taken with the N1 and set as wallpaper, I was able to drag the cropping tool so that 90% of the image was used as the wallpaper (because the image taken with the N1 is the

I want the whole picture to show as wallpaper, not part of it. is there a way to do it?
I downloaded a picture from website which says it's a wallpaper for nexus. but still the rectangle does not select the whole picture, and i can't select it.
So there is no way to select the whole picture?

2010-04-18T12:00:37.452+10:00

Because the wallpaper moves in the background when you slide through the screens, the wallpaper needs to be a certain aspect ratio (which I can't remember off hand). The ones already on the Nexus one, are obviously already optimized. When adding your own, you either have to crop to the right aspect ratio, or if its already set to the right aspect, you also get to choose which parts of the

Does anyone know how to set up wallpapers? I mean i downloaded a picture which says it is a wallpaper for nexus. then i tried to set as wallpaper, but it asks to crop it. and you can't select the whole picture. so only a part of the picture can be selected and set as wallpaper. Even if i take a picture through camera, i cant set as wallpaper. it asks to crop it.

Do you know how to

2010-04-16T19:01:35.221+10:00

About the billing address. That's not a requirement, but may help speed the ordering process up. By that I mean, Google sometimes block checkout accounts until proof is provided to confirm you are who you say you are (licence, bank statement etc).
this can happen for no apparent reason, but I suspect it is triggered when certain information provided does not add up. (I guess google do

2010-04-15T07:28:58.594+10:00

From what I have seen on some forums. it seems that 3 ahve a contract with Telstra for some time, so I believe ill be getting the 850 MHZ version. Btw is the coverage the same for the N1 as it is with any previous phone you owned on 3? ie. you get full reception where ever you use to get it.

2010-04-15T07:04:27.857+10:00

At the moment I beleive Three roam to the Telstra NextG network so the 850 MHz one would be best. But that may not always be the case, three and Vodafone as I understand, have merged, so they may start roaming to Vodafone sometime in the future.
You should probably ask Three directly and see if they can give a time frame of if/when they will start to use Vodafone.

Cheers

So long as the total value is under $1000 AUD, then no taxes need to be payed. :)

Hi,

Stability!
It seems stable enough to me, in fact it seems rock solid.
Although I have had the odd app stop responding and need to be force closed a couple of times, but I think that's more to do with dodgy apps rather than the phone.
I try to only install apps that have a good rating now (4 or above) and that seems to have done the trick.

2010-04-11T15:33:01.751+10:00

I have been reading that the nexus one is quite an unstable phone, though i still want one, I was just wondering whether the rumors were true of it collecting dust very easily within the screen, and whether the nexus one screen was prone to cracking when just put in a tight pair of jeans. Since youve owned a nexus one for around 9 weeks now, I would just like your 2cents regarding that info!
