So yeah I got myself a Nexus One from the google website where you can buy it http://www.google.com/phone
You can buy it using your credit card. Now I’m from Canada in the province of Quebec so I got myself the second option which is
Supports three 3G/UMTS bands (850/1900/2100 MHz) and four GSM radio frequencies (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
Make sure you get this one if your in Canada as the GSM radio frequency in Canada are a bit different. The difference is that when you get a call and your talking on your phone the gps and internet won’t drop during the call where as if you get the other one that is made for the United States it will.
So imagine driving around using your gps for navigation and you get a call and voila your lost on your google map.
Now I didn’t get any of the extra accesories you can buy with it since well the phone itself is US$529.00 which according the XE.com in Canadian dollars its 555.867 CAD.
The accessories even though I can’t say much about it are really cool and convenient to have if your the type to get accessories that are design and made by the phone manufacturer.
This includes a dock for your phone which does charge your phone and can be used ,with the cables provided, to connect to your come stereo system to allow it to play music from your phone.
The other one is a dock for your car which allow its to automatically load the driving app in your Nexus One. From the youtube videos I saw about it, it seems like a great piece of equipment for those who want to have a car adapter.
Lastly its a spare battery for the phone. Personally I didn’t get it since there was no charging decide for the battery so it was pointless for me to lug around a battery when I am going to be charging my phone anyways later on in the day.
If you want to know about the technical specs of the phone visit this website

When I got the phone all I did was put my sim card in the phone. Now I do recommend that you fully charge the phone first before turning it on so that you can have a full battery and enjoy your phone.
Setting up the phone is really easy but for those who have a data plan from their cell phone provider you will have to manually input the settings. Now I’m with Fido so here are the settings to have your data plan internet working.
