Looks like just about everybody got tipped to this one, but no matter: Here's the Nexus One sized up with the iPhone, and inside, the HTC Hero. And after the break we have a slew of other shots of the device, as well as that 5-minute video walkthrough that's making the rounds. Enjoy! (And thanks, Chris) [img source]
TK says:
Nice screen, looks wider than the Droid, look like it would be easier for typing in portrait more, but I don't really like that trackball thing at the bottom of it. It's kinda pointless to have a trackball with a touchscreen phone.
mobiquizoid says:
@TK it seems based on my research on what it takes to get "root" access on an Android phone, the trackball is still necessary in some scenarios?
Alex says:
I think the trackball is fine. I can't tell you the number of times I'm browsing on my mytouch 3g, or cliq, and the trackball or in the cliq's case, the d-pad, has come in handy when pressing the really tiny links that are all bunched together.
Magnious says:
I am not a fan of the camera lens sticking out like that. Looks like it will be the first thing to smash on the ground if dropped.
AJ says:
I like the trackball. I use the one on my Hero all the time.
Adiliyo says:
i would really rather have a dpad or an optical trackpad, i've had far too many issues with blackberrys and their shitty shitty trackballs to want another one.

I agree with aj........where as I do use my trackball all the time it would have been nice to see a optical trackpad for such a flagship device
