Twitter was pre-installed on Nexus One? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember seeing it out of the Box.

As for as default Facebook installation and integration is a bad idea. I really hate that.

I got mine just before Android 2.2 came out (I got the 2.2 OTA update right after pulling it out of the box) and it definitely did have Twitter.

Aah, it was 2.2 that added Twitter to the base OS:

I purchased a Nexus One shortly after launch, and it did not come with Twitter installed. In fact, the Twitter app didn't exist then.

I _did_ however do a hard reset the other day (ugh...) and all of my stuff was gone. Twitter, Amazon, and Angry Birds Holiday seemed to still be there...

But looking at my phone now, a bunch of other apps that I had downloaded are back, mysteriously. I dunno.

It's a feature. No, really. When you sync your Google account, it redownloads your apps.

That's pretty awesome. I guess it happens in the background?
