Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. Don't know how to look-up screen res or processor speed. Not in Settings/About Phone screen. And where are the Googler members we have at HC? Can we or can't we talk about the phone? Google is obviously going for a soft launch.

And typing this on a Nexus One. Really gorgeous screen (makes the iPhone look low res) and much faster than my iPhone 3G. I don't know if I could do without a few iPhone apps, and miss multi-touch, but man is this nice. I think this is a winner. Even has a working VU meter for a wallpaper.

Watch out AT&T: Operation Chokehold is coming this Friday!

Sorry to hear. That's 5 days and 21 hours longer than my first HD580 cable lasted. Hope they make you a priority and you get a replacement soon. A tip to those who got a VI pair - the extension cable is stereo only. Don't try to have a full conversion, as I did today, with your mic dead.

What was the give away - the ticking or the 17 stamps covering the return address?

There are at least two versions floating around (possibly early testers and recent Googler distribution) as there are differences in the HTC branding and button order between some of the shots I've seen and the one I played with Saturday night. Can't know for sure what they have in common, but I'd say you're probably safe with your no keyboard, with camera flash, very fast processor, beautiful screen, similar to Droid in functionality, but at least some OS differences (2.1.1?), miles above the G1 build quality, and trackball assumptions. Wish I went to the specs screen with the few moments I had it, but didn't. Overall (including shots of the Droid), the first time I felt the iPhone had real competition... if its apps catch up. That's something I'm not exactly optimistic for in the near future (this list isn't encouraging). Then again, if you're anything like me, Google apps account for a good chunk of the use of the "phone" and in most cases better implemented here. Anyway, we've got Googler members here. Perhaps when the phones are fully distributed we'll get more detailed feedback. This along with likely Android tablets, and even possibly an Apple one, announced at CES in a few weeks, makes this an interesting time.

The Droid is so last Friday.

Thanks for the link.

Had an early birthday dinner at Ruth's Chris last night. Filet, 'tators and a few red blends. Recovering this morning.

Listening with the K701s today (w/GS-1), The Band sounded about as wrong as Alison Krauss did oh so right.

Amazon had the Triple.fi 10 and Triple.fi 10vi up for $99 for a short bit, before reverting to the 10 only. Logitech had only the 10 I believe. Vi is the mic (yes, for phones) version.

My VIs (from Amazon) arrived yesterday. First impressions are I'm very impressed by the performance for this price, but wonder how'd I feel at full MSRP? Anyway, haven't gotten around to comparing to the ER4Ss yet, though they obviously, and unsurprisingly, have a larger soundstage, fuller sound and more bass presence. Have smallish canals and these seem to fit/seal fine with smallest silicone "cushions." Mic seems the best I've tried yet. It'll be worth the wait.

Dinny, no interest in waiting until the possible Apple tablet* announcement in four weeks? Course who knows what your server options will be (at least likely NAS and Airport Express). *or various Androids tablets.

Fitzs entered the pneumatic system this morning.

I like this part in the FAQs...
