Among iFixit's findings in disassembling the Nexus One:
The handset is held together by numerous screws. This is very different from the fifth-generation iPod nano, which is held together mostly by glue and adhesive, making it easy to put together but difficult to take apart.

"It's quite a colorful phone on the inside," the site said. "We've got oranges, greens, yellows, dark grays, and all sorts of fun stuff!"
the 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED display is made by Samsung. It features a resolution of 480 by 800 pixels, less than the Motorola Droid's 480 by 854 resolution, but more than the 320 by 480 pixel screen found on the iPhone 3GS.
The touchscreen is powered by a Synaptics chip. Numerous other chips are included on the board, and most of them (at least three) are made by Qualcomm, including the QSD8250 Snapdragon ARM processor.

It also includes an Audience A1026 voice processor that includes noise cancellation, and an LED flash that is smaller than a dime.

More info and a better video of the Samsung flexible oled mobile phone prototype

Apparently what Samsung are doing is tiling two OLED displays side by side, to create a larger display. So this is not really a flexible OLED at all - just two thin OLED put together!

As a reminder, Samsung displayed this new flexible display a few weeks ago. It's a 4" display, 480x272, contrast 100,000:1, 200cd/m2 luminence. It is very thin - 0.05mm.

Hydrogen-powered phone prototype

"Fuel cell maker Angstrom Power and cell phone maker Motorola have teamed up to create a prototype mobile phone that runs on a hydrogen fuel cell. Crave reports.

There are still hurdles that need to be solved. For one, hydrogen refueling stations aren’t even close to being available in most places in the world. And then there is the issue of safety, though the company claims that the battery is perfectly safe. There is real interest by the major manufacturers, and if all goes well, expect to see them by 2010.

Bush looks like he’s plotting something nefarious with this hydrogen cell phone

Angstrom has thought out some answers: it's designing a home-based unit that lets a user pour in water and watch the phone automatically recharge. And it has ambitions to install recharging kiosks at places like Starbucks or 7/11.
