Making room space
Why i didn't do that long ago? Tired fighting for a free space on the /data partition i just have moved the most huge .apk files to the /system/app folder and restarted the phone. Now I have whole 40Mb free on /data part. Silly amount for a modern device, but quite valuable for me.

Meanwhile
My Nexus One has retired. Again. Hopefully the HTC will send me another replicant soon.
While waiting it back I decided to change the system to a Tattoo on my old good Kaiser because I get tired of that blurry resized image and already get used to the sharp and crispy off the Nexus.
Tattoo system has the same resolution as Kaiser - 320x200, so it should fit.
The install process went smoothly (I took the source from here). Then I found the Wi-Fi does not work. I took an update from here, but standard /sdcard/andboot/androidupdate.tar update did not help. Comparing I found out the sysinit.rc is still different, and placed it manually. Then WiFi started working.
Current issue - the market client can not connect to the server, throws
DEBUG/vending(5478): com.android.vending.api.FatalCommunicationException: Sent a bad request.
Repair update: HTC sends the replacement phone overnight in the same day as they receive the broken one. Outstanding!

tactile fail
Bought a new expensive screen protection film from skinomi.com
I say that's sucks. It's polyurethane made and rubberish, not slick and bubbles
are still there although I did everything what the instruction says.
I wish I just bought six those cheap instead for the same money, the ones I bought previous time which feels much better and I could change them each time in the case they peel off.

Capacitive solution
Got a package directly from HongKong ordered at cellphoneshop.net
This store is good, selling cheap accessories and ships it right from Asia shores.
So, now I have a capacitive stylus and a protective screen for my new Nexus One.
The stylus is very weird, its rubber tip is not sharp ended at all and you need apply it strictly perpendicular to the screen surface, or else it won't work. At least it allow type more easily taping the screen, but almost impossible to use it to drag something.
The protective screen package's instruction is just four tiny not discernible pictures, so I did not understand their meaning and did something wrong left some areas not firmly attached and also I scratched the screen a little trying to use the special included little card which I assumed supposed to smooth out bubbles.
The protective screen has not protected itself from scratches...
But! The new surface feels so good! I like touch it and no more greasy traces!!!

unit replaced
Received replaced "Nexus One" from HTC. Gosh, that was swift! They used an overnight FedEx in both ways, and I got a working phone back in two(!) business days.
HTC customer service is outstanding!!!
Thank you HTC and thank you Google!

Beware - Nexus One!
If you don't have unlimited wireless internet access, - BEWARE!
Nexus One's default installed widgets download more the 8Mb of data right after you turn the device on.

The good news and the bad news.
I got my free Nexus One from Google delivered today!!!
Thank you Google!
It'd be more great if it worked, but it reboots each time I'm trying to turn on the Wi-Fi. :(
