Anyone getting att nexus one?

I am giving it VERY serious consideration. My only hesitation is that I have questions about what the HTC Desire will hold on AT&T. While I’m sure it will have the AT&T bloatware and maybe even some old version of Android but I’m wondering will I be able to function with that.

I look at the backflop and know in the back of my mind that the Desire will have the same thing, sort of.

I like the idea of a trackpad instead of the ball but it isn’t a deal breaker, just a cool factor. I like the idea of getting updates when they happen instead of when AT&T says its “safe” for me to get them. I doubt I will get apps from any place other than a trusted source but I don’t know how limited or wide the app market is for android.

If I do, I will likely get it within the next 2 days so that I can have it on the weekend.
Cost isnt an issue for me as I expected it and saved for it.

I'd pay even $800 just to stick it to AT&T... On my current phone, they have a page of undeletable bookmarks to services I would never use that rather annoys me. And I pretty much called it that their Android phones would use Yahoo. I mean, at least bloatware on PCs can be uninstalled... AT&T takes it to a new low.

So yes, I'm buying it from Google.

Since I missed business hours I'll wait to order it tomorrow (well, today now)...

mine came in as well. I was too impatient to wait to play with it. 3G is so much nicer than the edge the ADP1. I'm going to wait a bit to root the phone with Cyanogen until some of the brave tackle that first.

Otherwise, I love the features on this thing!

ATT successfully configured without setting up any of the apn, google voice(voicemail) forwarding works like a charm.

The only thing I don't know how to do is turn the phone off. I hold the power button any it just goes to standby. I tried doing google searches on how to, but most of the searches come up on

"turn off <feature>"

not

"turn off phone"
