Nexus one by Google Showimage.php?m=Articles

Since the nexus one is not yet officially available in Malaysia, you can probably try this if you really can't wait to get this baby Nexus one by Google Icon_cheers

If you can’t wait any longer your country listed on Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Nexus One’s shipping policy, the following trick could be worth trying, thanks to Gamaze website. However, you have to pay the additional shipping cost for that. Your call!

  1. Get access to the ordering process by downloading and installing
    the free Hotspot Shield software (Windows & Mac only), in order to
    protect your location and IP address so that Google’s web store won’t
    block you out from the ordering process.
  2. Sign up for a US based shipping address at MyUSABox.com. This is
    free but they charge amount of US $5 for registering and will be
    credited to you when you use the service for the first time.
  3. Sign up for a Google Checkout account. If you already have a Google
    / Gmail account, you can add that easily through your Google account
    settings. Note that you can use any international shipping address and
    credit card for this purpose, it does not have to be the MyUSABox
    address you just signed up for.
  4. Order your personal Nexus One phone phone by pointing your browser
    to http://www.google.com/phone. Please make sure you opt for the SIM
    free phone at $529 + sales tax. Also, make sure you enter the MyUSAbox
    shipping address and Google Account billing address to the order.
  5. Wait for your N1 to arrive to MyUSABox. You should get notified by
    email as soon as it arrives unless your e-mail spam filters are too
    tight.
  6. Log in to MyUSABox and forward your box to your home address, it should arrive within a few days.

Of course, the other option (dependent on country) is that you get one from eBay – that’s a good choice too

What the Nexus One means for the future

From a hardware and software standpoint, the Nexus One is top-shelf. For now. If you want a phone without a physical keyboard, this is close as you can get to the likes of the iPhone when it comes to form factor and available applications. Maybe you don't like the trackball, and we have that little niggle with the accuracy with the buttons under the screen. But as far as pure processing power and screen technology go, you can't beat Snapdragon and AMOLED, at least in anything currently available.

Make no mistake about it, however: That will change someday.

When the Nexus One was officially announced, there were as many articles panning it as just another phone as there were lauding it as the next great thing. And let's face it, calling it a "Superphone" is cute. But technology turnover is too great for that moniker to really hold up. And even calling entire lines of Google phones "Superphones" sounds trite. Yes, you're a "Superphone." Just like everyone else.

Android 2.1 has been called "emotionless," like that's a bad thing for an operating system embodied by a robot. I'd argue Android 2.1 has more emotion in it than Apple's icon-only grid launcher on the iPhone. No, what Google has learned the hard way is that birthing a smartphone is not an easy endeavor. (Not that anybody involved would ever call it easy, but you know what we mean.) More likely, there are factors at work that cannot be quantified. That can't be predicted. And the same goes for the affection that Google will see when it irons out the bugs in its retail process, and solves the customer service quagmire.

Until then, the Nexus One might not sit atop the Android mountain, and Google likely never was positioning it to do so. But it'll be lurking just below the summit. Waiting.
