Day 8 with the Nexus One

Yesterday was my 8th day with the Nexus One.

Still not thrilled about the sucky bluetooth with Nissans, but eh, I'll live. I used the headphones that came with the phone, which have a built-in mic, to do some hands-free talkin' and jivin' while on the way home. It's a pisser, but not as big a pisser as clicking through 8 menus to disable wi-fi for the day on an iPhone.

I need to remember to turn up the brightness before I go outside, though. While 0% is perfectly fine for me indoors, AMOLED doesn't do well outside with it. 75% AMOLED is still brighter outside than the brightness I used on my iPhone (around 30), so it's ok. Again, it's the quickness I can change it that makes it viable.

A pretty normal day for the phone though. Copied over some pictures from my PC to have with me and put on a few more podcasts. Still loving how easy it is to get music on this thing, I don't miss the time it takes to sync. The organization is still nicer, I guess, and I liked setting things to resume playback position, but I'm not sure I could go back to dealing with iTunes again.

I updated my home screen to have a big HTC-Sense-ish clock and weather, which looks great. Thank you Beautiful Widgets. I also bought my first app, Touiteur, which is probably the best Twitter client I have ever used. I've used Tweetie 2 (which is beyond overrated), Twitbird, Twitbird Pro (my iPhone client of choice, even paid for Push), Tweetdeck (good but buggy, loses tweets), Twitteriffic (just.. ok), and maybe a couple others.. None have been as purely awesome as Touiteur is. Having the ability to set colors for individuals is incredibly useful. I have some friends as a dark purple, others as a dark green, my chick as pink and friends at work as dark orange. It's like lists but within your own timeline. Very cool. Other than that, the interface is just smooth and works great.

Any problems? Not really. My battery was about 35-40% when I left the office and that's fine, I have a charger in my car. It's also about the same as I had with my iPhone.
