In my recent Desire review I didn’t go into the HTC Sense UI much, as I previously covered it a little more extensively with my HTC Hero review.

Well Kevin C. Tofel of jkontherun has taken the jump and managed to get the HTC Sense UI working on his Google Nexus One, Googles own version of the Desire. He’s detailed the installation process and also outlined some of the features a little further. For the folk who don’t know much about Sense UI, I would suggest taking a look at the article.

Keep it in mind that some of the tethering features, specifically the wireless tether that Kevin mentions are third party additions to the ROM he used and are not part of the stock HTC Sense UI.

So is it worth the effort and minor risks to get the Sense UI on a Nexus One? Even with less than a day of usage, it is for me. The Nexus One was fun to use before thanks to the super specifications, but it’s even better with the Sense UI. Personally, I’d like to see HTC offer the Sense UI for aftermarket installation — even if they charged $10 or perhaps $20, it would be worth it for me.
