But Google had a booth at the Pepcom press event in Vegas, and it happened close enough together to fold N1&#8217;s launch into CES in my book, anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the insane hype that smarty-pants tech bloggers &#8211; like me &#8211; built up around the Earth-shattering business model that we hoped Google might unveil, but never did, Nexus One is still a darn good smartphone. I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;d venture into &#8220;Superphone&#8221; territory like Google&#8217;s Marketing team, but I will say it&#8217;s the best Android device currently available. What it gives up to Droid (hard QWERTY board) and Droid Eris (HTC&#8217;s Sense UI) it makes up for with Voice Input, a responsive 3.7&#8243; touchscreen and a zippy Qualcomm Snapdragon processor under the hood.<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s thin, sleek, and feels great in the hand.<\/p>\n<p>And it runs Android 2.1 which adds a few nice little UI touches that make the whole package a tad more consumer friendly.<\/p>\n<p>Then there&#8217;s the whole &#8220;Branded by Google, sold by Google&#8221; thing that Nexus One just ushered in. I frankly have no idea what Google&#8217;s got in store for their new online retail presence, but if you believe them N1 is just the first in a long line of devices they&#8217;ll be selling direct to consumers around the world. A $529 unlocked \/ $179 with T-Mobile contract Nexus One is either &#8220;just another phone&#8221; or &#8220;the best Android device yet,&#8221; depending on how you look at it. But there&#8217;s more to the story, even if it turns out we&#8217;ll have to be patient about finding out what else Google &amp; Friends have up their sleeves when it comes to branding devices and selling them straight to consumers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Previous<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.phonedog.com\/cell-phone-research\/blog\/ces-devices-notion-ink-adam-e-reader.aspx?utm_source=Rss&#038;utm_cammpaign=PhoneDog&#038;umt_medium=Blog\">Notion Ink Adam<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/QGwD1a8J0QA95WQ10mNLNOMYncs\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/QGwD1a8J0QA95WQ10mNLNOMYncs\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/QGwD1a8J0QA95WQ10mNLNOMYncs\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/QGwD1a8J0QA95WQ10mNLNOMYncs\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/phonedog_cellphoneblog\/~4\/RxzIMpEcaRk\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CES 2010 Wrap-Up: Noah&#8217;s Top 5 Devices 4.
