Battery usage is now most satisfactory. Can happily Spotify/listen to Android’s music player for considerable amount of time while emailing, tweeting, reading news, etc. Similarly taking and making calls (after all, this is a phone..) don’t drag down the battery too much. I should mention that I am NOT using a task manager (auto or otherwise – I’m just not using one full stop).
Have become adept in typing using landscape mode and using both thumbs to “touch” type. Getting a relatively decent word rate, but still prone to errors which, thankfully, the predictive text system helps correct almost instantly (although I keep referring to Google Alps and not Google Apps).
The only real issue at the moment is the phone has twice failed to automatically join our home wi-fi network and needs manual intervention. But this isn’t too big an issue and I can live with it until I can figure out what’s going on, or if it’s an Android bug, Google fixes it in an Over The Air update.
The Nexus One is still the best damn smartphone I’ve ever come across.
