More happy Nexus memories for me on the last show. I couldn’t get hold of a Nexus One, so settled for the Desire, which I still think is one of the best looking Android phones we’ve seen. I did jump on the Nexus train with the Nexus S though, which I picked up on impulse from CEX Great Yarmouth while on holiday! I loved that curved screen. As Gareth pointed out, the OEM’s UI’s were horribly intrusive and slowed the devices down, so the pure Android experience meant significantly more then, than it does now. Most phones I bought were rooted and running Cyanogenmod within a few weeks.
