  • "Has multi-touch---get "Dolphin Browser" and see!"
    5.0 stars

    Pros: Easy to navigate and use. Gmail & Google calendar ease of setup. Bbrilliant screen, fast processing, light weight, lots of apps, works well on 3G . Voice text (messaging) is amazing! This 61 year old geek loves this phone!

    Cons: Cnet is wrong (see below)

    Only had this 8 days so learning curve is slightly steep, but have figured everything out thus far except how to look up something in the far future (6 months) on the calendar. Probably my ignorance only.

    Summary: Multi-touch is there, as can be seen by downloading "Dolphin Browser" (free) from Marketplace and using it as another browser (if not set as the default, you get a selection window when going to the Internet). So, maybe Google did not want to flaunt the Apple folks, who tend to be litigious. As to the CDMA, it is my understanding from another website that the Nexus One has the CDMA built in, but not activated--mainly due (no doubt) to T-mobile and AT&T (like the rest of the civilized world, such as Europe) being GSM.

    Kinda sloppy on your facts there, Cnet!

    I do not know about the Nexus One having CDMA and I would not say that CNET was sloppy on their facts but MaxLaw is right! The free "Dolphin Browser" DOES HAVE MULTITOUCH. I have no clue why HTC or google would hide this feature because to my understanding multitouch is availible on other HTC models. I do not know how multitouch can therefore be patented nor why they would not advertise it or have it on its default browser. I tried this on my Nexus one after reading the reviews and it works!
