On: Nexus One

It no doubt is the nicest Android phone to date, but for the most part it sounds like it has been wildly over-hyped.

The only thing that seems to make this a "Google Phone" is that Google is selling it.

... And Google made all the software for it. What more do you want? Google Fab?

I assume he meant "as opposed to all the other Android phones"

Well, if Microsoft was selling a "Microsoft Phone", you'd expect something more than just a phone (albeit a nice one) with Windows Mobile installed, wouldn't you?

Not at all. Just like when I use a "Microsoft mouse" I don't expect it to navigate for me. It's a mouse.
