Unlike the older days of Dragon Naturally Speaking, straight out of the box it just.. Works.. Something I'm only just starting to get used to. So far I've decided it makes up for the lack of a physical keyboard as it's accurate enough that when I'm sick it can still figure out what I'm saying 6 times out of 10. Long as I don't ask anything too strange

Being Australian with my Aussie accent I have never found a decent voice recognition program that works. Getting any of them to write out "A dingo ate my ...." generally doesn't have very accurate results.

I guess the Nexus One is aimed at being primarily sold in the US but it would be nice to know if it works on people who don't have American accents.
