Linus Torvalds Likes the Nexus One

IT engineer and the Linux founder, Linus Torvalds, said on the Internet in a blog post that he hated cell phones because of the fact that they "disturb you as you work or read or whatever. A cellphone to me is just an opportunity to be irritated wherever you are. Which is not a good thing." But it seems that he doesn't hate the IT product from IT company Google. Nexus One might have made the cut.

He also said in that blog post that "At the same time, I love the concept of having a phone that runs Linux, and I've had a number of them over the years (in addition to the G1, I had one of the early China-only Motorola Linux phones) etc. But my hatred of phones ends up resulting in me not really ever using them." However, when he decided to buy the Nexus One, he was amazed and said that "I wasn't enthusiastic about buying a phone on the internet sight unseen. But I have to admit. The Nexus One is a winner."
