Hello everybody, I just bought a Nexus one and thought i would share the experience for any other UK peeps who maybe thinking about it.

You get used to the soft buttons, usually need to press them towards the top of the symbol.
 
Yeah that was $20 down the pan lol. I use an 80p shaver adaptor from ASDA with the supplied US charger :D
