Look at what we got here, Gizmodo’s review of the Google / HTC Nexus One and it is un-surprisignly positive. Well, given that it’s neither a Windows Mobile or Nokia device you didn’t really expect them to trash it, right?

The camera app loads up a lot faster than on the Droid, and shoots a lot faster than the Droid’s camera—but the image quality is similarly mediocre. Compared to HTC’s earlier Windows Mobile phones, whose cameras were passably bad, the Nexus One’s 5-megapixel camera is quite good, even if it doesn’t have the iPhone’s touch-to-focus.

iPhone’s touch-to-focus? Little reminder folks, the first smartphone to feature touch-to-focus was the Sony Ericssion Xperia X1 (WM6.1) followed by all the WinMo HTC devices (HTC Touch HD, Diamond2, TouchPro2, HD2…)

Don’t forget to check out their so called HTC HD2 “review” for a good laugh.
