That was fast. After getting word that Google received its last Nexus One shipment, the Nexus One is now sold out at google.com/phone.

Here’s the bottom line on the first speed tests of Android 2.2: without Flash 10.1, its browser handily beats all comers. But with Flash? It drops to the bottom of the heap. Ruh roh.
