Review from CNET.com:

The good: The Nexus One has a gorgeous display, a lightning fast processor, and a loaded feature set. The enhanced voice capabilities worked flawlessly, and the phone delivers solid performance.

The bad: Like other Android phones, the Nexus One forces you to store apps on the internal memory. The media player remains boring and it’s missing some wanted features like multi-touch support, dual-mode capability for GSM and CDMA networks, and tethering.

Google Nexus one is not yet available in the Philippines, but in US it costs USD180 if with contract or USD530 if unlocked.
