Uh oh, Motorola Droid – you better look out! The Nexus One is going to cut you — Wait, no, that’s not right. The Nexus One is going to snag one of your flagship features. I always get those two mixed up.
Google didn’t make any mention of accessories when they were launching the Nexus One, but the proof is in the pudding – and by pudding, I mean this Google support document.
You can use Car Home whether or not you have a Nexus One car dock (coming soon).
There’s just about no room for interpretation there – but what about other accessories? A gent over at the Nexus One Forum asked about the availability of “docking station, car dock, or other accessories”, and got this response from a Googler:
The docking stations for Nexus One are not available at this time. Stay tuned though, they should be available soon.
While the helpful responder may very well have been talking about the same car docks mentioned in the support documentation, the original question distinctly separated “docking stations” and “car docks” into two categories. The guys over at Slashgear are assuming that this means desktop docking stations are on the way soon – and you know what? We’ll have to agree.
We first saw the car dock and docking station mentioned in some pre-release product page leaks. At least according to those leaks, the docking station would set you back $39.99, while the car docking station would come in at $49.99.
I’m really not sure why this is a headline. I thought these modes were standard Android 2.x features (not tied to specific phones). More importantly, why wouldn’t you expect docks and accessories?
This is supposed to be a part of the android platform but didn’t push through so well.
There has been a lot of hype and tension erupted after the unveiling of the nexus one. Today, we are seeing some of the errors and glitches that a future user may want to look before buying the N1 phone. As they said, 530 USD has never became cheap.

Doesn’t Droid offer the docking station and the card dock for free?
So I am thinking about picking a Droid and I am leaning toward the Nexus.
I dont need a pull out keyboard, and i dont even want to spend the $30 / month for Data, I just like the Wifi deal.
I am almost always in a location that has Wifi…..
so, am i nuts for looking at this phone for just phone and wifi?
Is it overkill without purchasing the data ?
I really do not want the additional cost
Thoughts/comments? Share them on http://www.NexusOneTalks.com Thanks.

Not nuts at all. I have the N1 and do have data, however find myself using the internet on this phone primarily when I am connected to Wifi. This phone is better than the Droid with the exception of the hard keyboard. I think it’s a no brainer.

Ok, so you say soon. Is there a special meaning of that word for google? When is soon? Is there going to be a car dock available at all?
We are end of March now….?
How long does it take to deploy something that looked pretty much done in January?
Unless I’m missing something it’s just molded plastic with a power adapter right….?
Have we got a date yet?
Maybe this is normal for product launches and my expectations are too high? Perhaps it WAS leaked too early and I’m being ungrateful or maybe I’m just saying out loud what everyone else is thinking?
