As a sucker who bought a phone from google, i'd say Stay away from anything critical from them!

still finds it difficult to answer a simple phone call if the phone is charging for more then 10min. As i have to lock the screen, then unlock (to work around a software bug in the touch driver), enter the password (damn work email), and finally, slide to answer (or more likely, see who called and call them back)




You didn't buy a phone from Google, you bought it from HTC (I assume this is the Nexus One, the same as I have) with heavy Google branding on it. If you want to get hardware support, you'll go through HTC directly. Learn your lesson that HTC has shitty component quality and never buy from them again. Google just makes the software, which works fine. The hardware in the Nexus One is another story...

As soon as some good dual core phones ship this year, I'm jumping ship off the HTC boat.


Those sure sounded like software complaints...


the store was on google.com

google billed my Credit card.

google posted several videos bragging how they had control on the device creation. (ironically, there was even one devoted to quality control of the device)

And yes, the other reply is correct. most of them are software issues.
