The Nexus One lacks multitouch (in some needed places)

According to tnkgirl, while given permission to play around with a Nexus One, but not given permission to take pictures of one, she claims that: “no multitouch support in the browser or in Google Maps,”. Which really sounds like a bummer, but then you have to remember that maybe it wasn’t a final production unit. She also says it works on T-Mobile 3G and is unlocked, but doesn’t work on AT&T 3G with EDGE. She also found “gold contacts” on the bottom which are possibly for a dock accessory. Oh, and here’s the rest of what she said about the Nexus One:

- It’s much nicer looking in person than in pictures- There’s a 4 GB micro-SD card installed
- The battery capacity is 1400 mAh
- The screen appears to be OLED (same size/resolution as the Motorola Droid
- 3G works on T-Mobile USA :)
- I can confirm that there’s no 3G on AT&T (EGDE only)
- It’s definitely unlocked
- It’s super snappy! Faster than the Droid..
- There’s no multitouch support in the browser or in Google Maps
- There’s no dedicated camera key, but it’s the same camera interface as the Droid- The trackball can be used to focus (like on other HTC devices
- Low-light performance is decent, but the flash is weak
- Calls are routed the normal way, not using data (VoIP), and sound fine
- The home screen is divided into 5 panes (like the Sense interface on the HTC Hero
- It’s using a micro-USB connector for data/power
- There are some gold contacts at the bottom edge, for a dock perhaps?
- Did I mention it’s fast?

Now hopefully she was just using a pre-production, multitouch-disabled Nexus One.
