Nice! I have an N1, love it, and was apprehensive about my options going forward.

Wow. You love the buggy touch screen? And the fact that google gave zero support for the phone, to the point of shutting down the community help forum. Amazing.

  My Nexus One touchscreen works fine. And the one time I called tech support it seemed acceptable.

    wow. you will really tell me that your touch screen never, ever, becames crazy from time to time and you have to lock and unlock your nexus one so it can came back? mine happens 90% that the phone is charging and i pick it up. most of the time i have to call someone back because i couldn't even pick the call thanks to the touch screen bug. or we have some 13 google employees here (who should be fixing those bugs instead of wasting time here :D) or your phone are really better than mine and some hundreds that complain about that. just check youtube.

      Yes, I will really tell you that my touch screen has never, ever done that. I don't think my wife's has either. Perhaps there is a batch with a faulty hardware component.

        My recent RMA to HTC went quite painlessly. FYI - my touchscreen worked fine.

        Care to share the steps? every time i contact google about it (i bought my nexus one via their store, with google checkout) i'm 100% ignored. just contacted them again about the touch screen not working when i read the first comment here, and again, ignored so far.

      This is a known bug with some of the phones but not all of them. I have the same bug but unfortunately I figured it out after I unlocked it.

        Interesting. Do you have a source on that? Is it not something that software can fix? I think my N1 suffers from this bug and I'd like to know.

        Just google it. It's definitely not a software problem because some people never experienced it. Basically the screen becomes unusable as if you were pressing constantly its bottom part. Given that the nexus one doesn't really have a real multitouch, your input will be averaged with a pressure on the bottom and the cursor will always move somewhere in between the spot you touched and the lower edge of the screen. For some reason, you lock the phone by pressing the power button, you unlock it and it's fine again. It happens to me maybe once or twice a week.

        happens to me 1-3 times a day. mostly when i'm writting a lot. now that i'm using swype (not sure i like it yet, but everyone should try it!) i can see that it sometimes draw a line caming from the bottom of the screen, right above the menu button.

      The only times I've had problems with the touch screen on my N1, it turned out to be because one of my other fingers or the edge of my hand was overlapping one of the other edges of the screen. :-) For quite a while though I did think that my touchscreen would just stop working. BTW.. you mentioned problems while charging. Do you keep the phone in the little neoprene pouch while charging? My N1 generates quite a bit of heat when charging with the supplied AC adapter. Doesn't seem to be a problem when the phone is just lying on my desk or my nightstand plugged in, but initially I used to leave it in the pouch at night while charging and it would get alarmingly hot in the pouch. Just an FYI.

      I've had my N1 for about 6 months and have never had that happen. The touch screen isn't as good as on my 3G iPhone, but it never freaks as you've described.

      Mine did the same thing, I sent it in for a replacement and HTC was easy to deal with and shipped me a phone right away.

  You're being very agressively downmodded, but you should have provided a link to prove what you were talking about (I own a HTC Desire, which uses the same touch screen as the N1). In short: N1 and HTC Desire have major, unfixable multitouch issues: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pU0R9tdodw8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pU0R9tdodw8
