The trackball that shipped with the Nexus One is white. They gradually turn yellow, then brown, then grey, and finally black from the collection of dirt and grease.

I have only ever owned the latest out of the Nexus phones, so I can't say anything as far as performance or build quality is considered.

But in terms of industrial design, I think it goes Galaxy Nexus > Nexus S > Nexus One from best to worst looking.

I think the Galaxy Nexus is very mature and classy looking, one reason I decided to move from SGS2 to the SGN. The Nexus S looked okay but somehow looked like a bastardized Galaxy S phone. I thought the Nexus One looked really funky with the mismatched paintjob and overly rounded corners.

I have to say the Nexus One is probably the best built of them all though, I'm pretty unhappy with the rear cover on the SGN - I was happy with the rear cover on the SGS2 because even thought it feels cheap it actually wasn't... the SGN flexes in the center of the rear cover, and the Google logo on the back isn't entirely flush which makes it kind of weird to hold if your finger is rubbing on the logo.[COLOR="Silver"]

My Nexus One had poor radio performance and couldn't get a signal in my office.
I couldn't press directly on the capacitive buttons, I had to touch slightly above them for them to work.
I have no idea why, but it is still my favorite phone.
Just recently sold it to help pay for the new Nexus

Must say the nexus s is nicer to hold but that's probably due to the size difference between them I've owned lots of large phones desire HD and the sgs 2 and the galaxy nexus to me falls on the borderline of acceptable size ...still love it tho just harder to use single handed.
Must say I do miss my HTC legend and swype sometimes :P was a dream to text on
