Meh.

Ive been reading about the Nexus One since it started leaking and its not as great as its supposed to be. Best thing about the Nexus One is Android 2.1 and that will be released to open source soon. It has a 1 GHz processor which should be great but the reviews Ive been reading so far have been underwhelming, not as fast as you would expect. The keyboard is a matter of preference, I like having it.

I like the droid, I perfer a heavy phone, being a relative term, the thing is solid, but not heavy by anymeans

Meh - I'll get excited about the latest-greatest phone when one is released which does a better job of being a phone! Bells'n'whistles & being able to surf the web are neat & all - but I'm far more concerned about signal/audio/noise-rejection quality. And not having a touchscreen-only device which is a PITA to dial without looking at it & totally disabled if/when it gets cracked.

As a phone, the Nexus One isn't dramatically different than most GSM devices you've probably used. In terms of earpiece quality and volume, it's certainly on par with its contemporaries, providing a loud, reasonably clean talking experience, though it doesn't touch the Droid in terms of call clarity and evenness. The loudspeaker, on the other hand, seemed extremely tinny to our ears, making for a pretty unpleasant companion for conference calls, with the midrange cutting through in a way that could be painful at times. We'd be inclined to blame that issue on the extremely thin housing here, but it's hard to say what the real culprit is. As far as connections and 3G pickup, the Nexus fared as well as our iPhone did when traveling, but -- surprise, surprise -- neither of these could touch Verizon. For instance, at JFK airport, we had no trouble placing calls on the Droid, but both the Nexus One and iPhone were completely incommunicado.

Trip, you're the first person I've heard to say the droid is slower than the iphone. Even reviews dont say its slower.

I just watched a vid from google on the nexus and the setup is exactly like the droid. Hell the unlock screen is the same. The only thing different I saw was the pull up menu that shows all the apps installed. People have already gotten ahold of 2.1 and it looks just like that. The other was google voice.

All I see is another smart phone. Nothing more.

There was just a story on World News about this phone.

Yup, I really like having keys to press with my fingers, I dont do well with touch screen keys.

The great thing about being open source is that it was already hacked to allow multitouch (http://lifehacker.com/5431136/androi...ve-droid-users)

Just did the their website load test and mine was just a little behind the iphone. Not even close to being slow like their droid and nexus. FYI they were using wifi and the website has changed since their vid.

That doesnt bother me cause engadget has a shit load of flash pics/vids and I usually dont go to sites like that on my phone so no tears from me.

I'm hoping Verizon gets the HTC HD2. That will be my next phone. They were nice enough to upgrade me to the touch pro 2 after 4 dead touch pro's in a months time. So far the touch pro 2 is one of the nicest smart phones I've owned.

Amorok · 01-05-2010, 09:56 PM

Yeah, I'll stick with my iPhone. Rumor is that the next version will have multi-core processor and OLED screen. ATT better have 4G ready or they might get fucked.
