@Pavel: Nexus One always had a wifi-n chip. In fact, google had even stated Nexus one having n in early promos. It was probably left out during release because of some software/driver issues and the fixed driver was released with Froyo update.

Hi,

I don’t understand how wi-fi become ‘n’ without hardware update ?
Thank you

Hey, Shantanu…great info here! I still don’t seem to have any luck sending/receiving vCards on my Nexus One (running Froyo). Any tips?

+1 on this. Wish the .com button wasn’t removed.

Another thing fixed – if you are watching a youtube video, and switch to a different app/home screen, the video is paused at its location. Earlier, if you switched back to youtube, you would see the screen with the list of videos.

On the list of things fixed is the BT handsfree phone issue. (Some cars have BT phone capability. When you start the car, if the phone has been paired with it, and on and BT enabled, it connects automatically to the car, downloads the address book, and from then behaves as you would expect a handsfree phone to).

Problem with Nexus 1 is that it does not work with many cars

Froyo is supposed to “provide greater compatibility for BT car kits”.

Anyoue any experience here?

@Hugo: It is unclear as of now whether these features are for froyo or gingerbread..News floating around is that these desktop and web counterparts pieces which are required to make it work will be released around froyo official release (Current one we have has been confirmed to be a release candidate build and official build will be FRF86)

@Darren: Thanks. I’ll check this out. I thought google talk already did push using the xmpp mechanism available only for google apps..But I can be wrong.. will check more on this.

@Marc: Nice idea. Will add this.

@Jahmon, jjkemp: Thanks for the comments

About better exchange support. I agree on “not upto the mark” – the feature I miss most is ability to search for contacts phone numbers…
