Nexus One: Unboxing

It was April 12, 2010, when I picked up my Nexus One from FedEx (approx 2 days after I ordered it). The anticipation of the phone was so great that I sped down 28th street so I could get home and take it out of the box. Once home, I opened the brown box, and unveiled the prettiest white box I have ever seen. There it was, on my kitchen table, my Nexus One.

As I unwrapped the contents of the box, I was fascinated by the detail of the packaging. And there it was, my N1. The phone appeared to be so much thinner than my Apple iPhone 3G and the weight seemed considerably less. Gorgeous piece of hardware. I made sure to read the directions before turning it on (I didn’t want to mess it up). Once I put my AT&T sim card in the phone, I booted it up. I was blown away by the quality of the screen. The AMOLED screen was bright, crisp and a billion times better than my iPhone’s screen.


As I waited for the phone to charge, I couldn’t help admire my new toy.
