No no no, that's the Motorola CLIQ. There's nothing about the Nexus that's any more oriented to Facebook than the iPhone. They both have Facebook apps and that's all. Perhaps the marketing is trying to attract Facebook users, which you have to admit is a very large market.

Rory, I somewhat agree with you. I've long hated virtual keyboards. The larger screens on the Droid and the Nexus are changing that opinion for me. But ONLY when it comes to landscape virtual keyboards. Nobody can convince me that typing on a portrait virtual keyboard works. At least, not for people with thumbs like mine smile

I even don't mind the iPhone landscape virtual keyboard, but sadly, in my experience with the device, you seem to be rarely presented with the option, or you have to close the keyboard, then rotate, then get back into it. But in too many cases, it just looks like they don't let you have the landscape version.
