This year’s CES event was held in Las Vegas, Nevada from January 7-11th. It certainly wasn’t the biggest showing in mobile phone history, but there were some highlights.
Of course, the center of mobile phone attention was Google’s HTC Nexus One. It is definitely the best Android phone on the market to date and it’s boost certainly has something to do with the Snapdragon 1GHz processor. It is the first phone to have the Android 2.1 operating system and it allows for some nice customization options and 3D effects. There was also talk that the Nexus One will receive an update to include Adobe Flash 10.1. Not only was there the debut of the Nexus One, but there was some more Android love in the mix. There was the showing of the Motorola Backflip that will also run Android 2.1.
Sony Ericsson also showed several new phones at CES. They include the Android operated Xperia X10, Xperia Pureness, and Jalou. Sony Ericsson also has three new phones – Naite, Elm, and Hazel – all part of their GreenHeart series. These three handsets are made from recycled plastics and use less packaging.
LG announced that they plan to develop more smartphones in 2010. They stated that Windows Mobile 7 may be in the mix of the smartphones. They launched approximately 17 million phones last year, so they certainly won’t be abandoning the hand that feeds them.
Another big story at CES was when reporter, Dan Simmons, of the BBC, managed to break the “unbreakable” phone. The Sonim XP3.2 Quest Pro’s display was broken when he slammed the phone against an aquarium – after taking a dive in it. In the phone’s defense, it did take Simmons a considerable amount of time to do the damage, but he still managed to break the unbreakable.
For those who are fans of BlackBerry will appreciate that Directed Electronics will bring their Viper SmartStart app to the device. Currently found on the Apple iPhone, the app allows drivers to remotely lock/unlock the vehicle, open the trunk, trigger the panic alarm, and start the engine. Also Research in Motion debuted an exciting new accessory called, “Blackberry Presenter,” that allows BlackBerry users to make PowerPoint presentations from the device. It is a small hub that connects to your Blackberry to a projector/monitor. It will run on BlackBerry devices running v4.6 or higher.
Overall, CES 2010 seemed to be the year of the Android. There are several new phones that will be launched this year that will be running an Android operating system. Everybody seems to want the customization that Android has brought to the table. If they continue on this pace, they’ll be able to stay steady with some of the big boys when it comes to smartphone operating systems.

Google has consistently put out reliable Android phones and the new Nexus One lives up to most of its hype. HTC is the manufacturer and they’ve been lucky to get their name branded onto the device. Visually, the Nexus One is stunning. It’s got a nice shape to it and fits well into our hands and you can’t say enough about the screen – it includes a 3.7 inch AMOLED display. In addition, the Nexus One also has a 5MP Camera, Wi-Fi, and a pre-installed 4GB microSD card. It also includes an impressive–and arguably, one of the most important features–a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and the new 2.1 Android operating system.
The Design
As stated, the screen is definitely the best anyone has seen. The Nexus One a resolution of 480×800 pixels and bursting with vibrant and beautiful color. This especially makes the addition of 3D graphics and live wallpaper (all due to the Android 2.1) even more enjoyable. Located on the back of the phone is the 5MP camera with a flash.
The Nexus One comes in only one color and has a two-toned gray that appeals to most people. The only physical buttons that exist on the device are the volume controls on the side and the power button, which is located on the top. The Nexus One also includes a trackball navigation option, which can also be used to select items. The phone has a nice, light weight (it’s only 4.48 ounces) to it, but it seemed to be distributed in an odd way and seems to be somewhat top heavy.
Operating System
The Nexus One is the first phone to have Android 2.1. For the most part, it’s similar to 2.0, but it has visually changed. It includes your typical Android operating touch controls: a back button, home button, search key, and the notifications menu. There isn’t the drawer to reveal your applications anymore. Instead, there is now a single icon which reveals the applications in a 3D cube. Android 2.1 also includes live wallpaper and it’s a nice touch for personalization, however, it may affect battery life. A nice change is there is now a shortcut bar that allows users to easily activate Bluetooth, GPS, and Wi-Fi options. It also includes five home screens for additional personalization, as opposed to three.
Of course, the upgraded operating system might not be possible with the impressive 1GHz Snapdragon processor. It allows all of the added 3D effects possible. Opening applications and web sites are noticeably faster with the upgraded processor.
An amazing feature that Android 2.1 has is speech to text in any text field. This allows you to use it in emails, texts, web searches, etc. However, even though the Nexus One is Bluetooth capable, you’re still unable to use this feature via a Bluetooth headset. Hopefully this is improved in the near future.
Multimedia
The gallery has also received the new 3D overhaul and is visually appreciated. All of the files are organized by dates and location. With the new AMOLED display, videos look beautiful.
Although it is 5.0 MP, the camera quality is just okay. Outdoor shots were better than indoor shots, but weren’t as sharp as we hoped. For personal use, videos were acceptable. Overall, the camera/video quality is acceptable as the Nexus One is meant to be a “camera phone.”
One upgrade that we wish the Nexus One received is the overhaul of the music application. The music player is pretty basic and somewhat boring. It does what it needs to do, but we’d like a better experience, especially for those who a big music lovers.
Call Quality
Voice quality on the Nexus One was good overall. Conversations were clear and there was little interference. Callers also stated that they could understand us and had no issues of clarity. The only issue was with the speakerphone at a high volume because we found the sound to become somewhat distorted.
Battery Life
The battery life on the Nexus One was acceptable. HTC states that it should have a talk time of 10 hours and a standby time of 290 hours. Realistically, for a phone that’s primarily used for heavy web browsing and all touch screen, we were able to get through a day of constant use without recharge.
Conclusion
For any person who is heavily dependent on Gmail, Android phones will never fail to please. It’s by far the most reliable device when it comes to syncing Gmail contacts and calendar. We’d like to see the Nexus One have improved basic phone functions, such as Bluetooth and a better music experience. However, these can be overlooked because the Nexus One is definitely the best Android device yet.
