Thanks for the awesome rundown Gina! Can’t wait to get my Nexus One!

Anyone on T-Mo in South Florida know how 3G is down here? All of my friends have iPhones haha.

Hey Gina, great review, I love my N1.
One thing I would like to point out, you said you’re not a “widget gal” and I feel just like you do. But you don’t have to use the search widget. You have the dedicated search button which pulls up a search box and if you push and hold the search button, it will let you do a voice search. Now you can ditch the widget without losing any functionality!
Love listening to you on TWiG.

@Michael
Yes, there is an option to only sync to the contacts that you already have.

Does anyone know where I can find more details regarding facebook sync? I would like to sync but dont want all of my fb contacts in my phone.

Does it have options to just sync the ones that are already in my Google address book?

Not to be critical, but a few of those features are not new to 2.1, but were also in 2.0 (Gmail dots, Facebook Integration, Visual Bookmarks)

I see that the new gmail app accesses multiple gmail accounts. But does it have multiple push gmail accounts or is it one push and the others fetch?

Gina. Excellent overview of 2.1. Clear and easy to get thru. Thanks.

Just waiting for Google to release 2.1 to open source so I can have it on my Hero. Just hope it’s processor can cope

Gina, I meant can you copy something out of the body of a message in GMail?

I’m in Solana Beach and wondering how your 3G is in San Diego.

My T-Mobile plan has one more year so I can’t get any break on the price. Don’t want to spend the $500 unless I know 3G will actually work.

@Gina: do you know if there is some sort of CPU scaling going on with the Nexus One? The reported battery life is substantially better than the stock Droid that I’m using.

Definitely would love to see that become part of Android very soon instead of requiring a rooting of the device.
