Didn’t Google cancel the N1? Guess they have other plans.

AFAIK the first round of phones have already gone out to everyone that purchased roughly through the end of last week. After that, we’ll be sending them out in batches each week or so. The expected shipping time is 2-3 days within the US, a day or three more for folks overseas.
caitlyn mentioned last week on the android 3.0 thread that the person in charge of sending them out was out due to illness but that they are back on track sending them out.
hrm - I preordered android pro a month ago, and haven’t yet received anything about the Nexus One. In the interim, we’ve learned that it’s being discontinued. I’m sure it will still be a useful development device, but had I known it’s fate, or that the wait would be this long, I may have waited on android pro. Considering that it’s already obsolete, I’d like to have it in my hands as soon as possible, please.
Consider it a rare item now - you will own one of the only google phones!
And its still a great phone, it just didn’t take with sheeple - thats all.
yeah, and I’m not going to use it as a phone, anyway. It’s still probably a good reference device, at least for the current hardware generation. Caitlyn sent me a nice note, 'splaining that it’s on the way.
I hate to break it to you guys, but the Nexus One is not a good reference device.
All HTC devices have a bad multitouch sensor and because of that most of the Unity games will run horribly on it. Every game with a dual Stick sucks on a Nexus, because it only works if you put them on different heights and that plays horribly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsSUqkh8pcI
The best way to develop for the Nexus One is to use the trackball, but the Nexus One is the only device from the newer ones that has a trackball. It’s a great phone, but will be obsolete for gaming because of this.
By the way, the phone is not obsolete or anything, HTC just switches out the AMOLED Displays with SLCD ( because Samsung doesn’t deliver enough AMOLED Displays and uses them for themselves) and because of that it is not the same product anymore. The “new” Nexus One will be back in retail soon.
