I get about 10 hours of battery life on mine,*thank you Power Manager Pro*. I do use Google Voice but only as a ring all my phones number, not to make calls. This allows me to be out of the office and still be found when my boss is looking for me. Which is a great thing if you work for a boss who is remote and never sees you face to face. As for the GPS Navigation software, Google Navigation does an ok job *as long as you have a solid data connection*. But personally I prefer CoPilot Live. For $35 *one time fee* I got maps for North America and downloaded the ENTIRE USA Maps to my phone *16gig SD card running CyanogenMod on my rooted phone with apps-to-sd support*. Not only do I not miss that turn to the "unnamed" street but I learned that street has 2 names in my area *DC Metro area in Virgina*. It is Louis St or Virgina Road (VA)-1648. Seem all the streets in Virgina near DC have a common street name and a VA number, too. I never know that little fact myself. I don't see what other issues you might have with this device, but I for one got mine at the subsidized price, *had an upgrade from T-Mobile*, and I use my phone everyday for GPS, e-mail, chat, twitter, facebook, counting calories, tracking my blood sugar levels, finding Vegan restaurants while traveling, Remote access to my laptop, watching movies *i have 12 full movies on my now*, watching youtube videos *go RocketBoom!*, reading the news and other RSS feeds, listening to music, as an alarm clock, to snap pictures and video when I am out and about, to check the price of items at stores, and oh yeah.... to call my girl or even my mom and yes sometimes my little brother too, *since it is a phone*. <br><br>Is the phone perfect, no. It could use a front facing camera for video chat, *which I am sure will happen with the next version*, and I wouldn't mind a larger built in memory size, 32gig would of been nice or even 64gig *two 32gig chips*. But hey that is what next years model or the model after that are for, right? If they made this one perfect we wouldn't want the next "cool" device. With all that said, at least my device is open enough to get full access to without some company trying to shut down my phone and resist my access to new content every time I unlock it... *cough* Apple. <br><br>But hey... that is just my opinion...

Hopefully, you can actually make phone calls on the Nexus One since it's obviously an afterthought for the iPhone (seriously, and ironically, the phone part of the iPhone is its worst feature)!
