As we anticipated over the weekend, Vodafone will begin selling the Nexus One from today. In a move echoing its original release in the US, it's only going to be available online.

Want to try out the neat new stuff in Android 2.2, a.k.a. FroYo? if you went the import path, try these instructions to download a 2.2 update, install it, and get Flash up and running.

Nexus One owners should receive an over-the-air update soon that brings multitouch gestures, a better Maps app and improved 3G connectivity. "Soon" is relative, though. If you're tired of waiting, a five-minute, legitimate procedure can update your phone right now.

It isn't officially available in Australia, but we figured you'd want to know anyway for future reference: Nexus One users are getting an over-the-air update on their phones, starting today, that will bring multi-touch, pinch-to-zoom functionality to the device.

It might suck that Google's Nexus One phone isn't being sold to Australia, but there's an upside of sorts: where the phone is available, customers are finding Google's email-based support for the device a little lacking.

The new Nexus One is a sleek, awesome handset, but the most important ingredient in touchscreen smartphones is software. The screen is just a canvas that software paints on, and Android 2.1 is a work of art.

Following up on our Monday morning roundup of "Google Phone"/Nexus One news, we thought we'd offer (just) one more bunch of news.
