Also gaming on touch cellphones sucks. You have to shake the phone in some games. Really strange.

if i am to choose one, voice recognition is out of this world on nexus.
i remember when i and the president of the company i work for were sitting at a blues bar right by the stage, with the band playing i took it out and to search for something i simply spoke into the phone (obviously i held it close and spoke clearly). andorid in its eraly voice recognition iteration was abel to pick up EVERY SINGLE WORD with 100% acuracy, despite the immense background noise and my accent. my boss thought i was showing off and whipped out his iphone and tried to do the same. 4 attempts later he kept on getting failures in recognition and we had a good laugh about it and ordered another pint.
voice recognition and other perks of the nexus and android have only improved since then

i’m far from being an iphone basher as i recgnoize it for the design quality that it is, but this article is pure vile propaganda.

You are an Apple FAN Boy thats why have written this freaking post!

Android Rules and will rule for ages!!!! :) :)

Steve Jobs SUCKS!!!

As it turns out, I found dust under my screen the day after my two week trial period ended, and have already had to downgrade from a new to a refurbished phone two weeks into owning it. I asked the tech who arranged the warranty replacement if I would have been able to get a warranty replacement if I had rooted the phone. He told me, unequivocally “No.” Even if I kept the stock ROM image? “No sir, you’d be out of luck.” Over the last week, I’ve called into Google’s N1 888 number and verified this with an additional two techs. To their credit, they all immediately knew what I meant when I asked whether a rooted phone or an unlocked bootloader would void my warranty.

You may not be a fanboy but you may have some of that Palestinian Syndrome as well, most of the points you make in this article have been addressed already and some are just your personal opinion. Multi-touch, Live walls, are fixed and I don’t see how a carrier counts as a bullet point to a phone that can be purchased sim unlocked and that experience varies depending on your geographical location but whatever its your world we just live here. I love tmobile i’ve had every company from verizon to us cellular and they by far have the best customer service and I get a good signal in my surrounding area including hsdpa its no verizon but I don’t like cdma and not having a sim card. Is att really that much better? I hear about dropped calls on att all the time i haven’t had them since before they merged with cingular so i can’t speak on their service. The appstore vs android market is an example of your opinion who’s to say which store is better just because you say the apps are better doesn’t mean everyone agrees. The music store is another not everyone buys into apple’s itunes to be honest I don’t know many ppl that even pay for music anymore.

I’m going to skip a point for point reply, mostly because a number of your responses depend on rooting the phone. I haven’t rooted my N1 and likely won’t. Rooting voids your warranty in a visible way. You send it in, they see the “unlocked bootloader icon” on boot, and that’s it. The ironic thing is that since Apple doesn’t sanction jailbreaking/rooting they don’t have such protection- which means that you can still get warranty replacements for a jailbroken phone.

HTC will still honor your warranty if it’s an obvious manufacture defect regardless of bootloader locked or unlocked I know a few ppl that have gotten a replacement for dust in the screen and the power button going out with their bootloader unlocked as long as you don’t send it with custom software your good.

Apps: Yes, there are a bunch of apps that Android Market has that the App Store doesn’t. Some of them are even worth using! But that doesn’t negate the fact that app for app, quality and consistency is generally lower for Android apps. Don’t get me wrong, that could change sometime in the future- but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Again thats a matter of your personal views and opinions of the apps and the future of said apps you can’t speak for everyone and you don’t know what is gonna happen.

Since you’re assuming a rooted N1, it’s fair to assume a jailbroken iPhone. If that’s the case, then some of your replies are invalid. If it’s not the case, and you’d like to compare a stock N1 and stock iPhone then other replies are invalid. Let me know which you’d prefer and I’ll answer some more points. For now, I’ll stick to the universally applied ones…

I would like know how jailbreaking your iphone gives you a bigger screen, a faster processor and an AMOLED screen regardless if it’s a little hard to see out side unless your blind its viewable but i have 20/20 vision so again can’t speak for everyone but like you said it’s fucking gorgeous indoors which is were most ppl spend the majority of their time unless you work in construction or something that has you outside all day.

- UI: Yup, animations are laggy. Similar kind of laggy as it is on the Droid, Eris, and Hero.

Your wild thats no where even near true how would a stock build with a 1ghz processor run like hero with sense ui and a 528mhz processor? Maybe its the custom rom I’m running and maybe i have no argument here but I have NO lag what so ever on my homescreen with a live wallpaper and every screen full with widgets or icons.

@SDC:
- Copy and Paste: Sadly, there hasn’t been significant improvement since 1.5. There one thing added to my knowledge, the ability to copy the entire contents of a text message. Which means that you have to paste the entire message in an editor, select and copy the bit you need. Still no copy and paste in email or most apps with text- way behind the functionality of the iPhone.

@SAI: Whose experience would I base it on- the promises of a fanbot trapped in a reality distortion field? You appear to assume that my experience with Android is limited to the N1 and Android 2.1.

> it’s AMAZING

Beware the mark of the fanboy!

- Copy and Paste: See my reply to SDC above. Indeed, the iPhone didn’t get copy and paste until OS 3.0, which came out June 2009. Unfortunately, we’re comparing today’s iPhone with today’s N1- when Android has universal copy and paste I’ll happily take it off my list of reasons the N1 Sucks.

And yes, you can copy passwords out of emails and text files and paste them into text fields. On Windows, Linux, and OS X. If that blows your mind, just think of email addresses, hostnames, and IP addresses.

- UI: Yup, animations are laggy. Similar kind of laggy as it is on the Droid, Eris, and Hero.

- Exchange: Android 2.1 supports Exchange Email and Contacts OOB. But not Calendar. Since some of us have jobs, the poor support for Exchange remains as a reason that the N1 Sucks. I’ll be overjoyed if that changes in 2.2.

- Apps: Yes, there are a bunch of apps that Android Market has that the App Store doesn’t. Some of them are even worth using! But that doesn’t negate the fact that app for app, quality and consistency is generally lower for Android apps. Don’t get me wrong, that could change sometime in the future- but I wouldn’t bet on it.

- Flash: My point is, Android doesn’t have Flash yet. It isn’t an advantage until I can get it without voiding my warranty. You’re right- the iPhone will likely never have Flash.

- Multitouch: Given your argument, you should’ve stuck with the iPhone. You see a lot of iPhone fanboys using similar arguments when folks complain about the iPhone, distilled as “it’s fine for me. not perfect, yes it’s known. deal with it.”

- Battery Life: OK, maybe I should have said that the N1 has poor battery life compared to the iPhone. Unless I’m low on battery, I’ve always left 3G and GPS on on my iPhone. The N1 may last longer if I turned off 3G, Wifi, and GPS but still not as long as an iPhone with 3G, Wifi, and GPS turned off. Probably one of the few areas negatively impacted by the leave-everything-running multitasking model of Android.

I did see an improvement in battery life after reading that the camera wastes a lot of juice, even as a background app- but it’s a royal pain in the ass to manually kill Camera after every photo taken. That is sad.

I realized I left one of the things that suck about the N1 out… The screen! Not entirely, the AMOLED screen looks great indoors or in the dark, colors are nice, etc. But it’s next to impossible to use outside in bright sunlight, even with the screen brightness turned up to max. I’ve done a lot of geocaching with my iPhone- it’s hard to say if the poor visibility of the N1′s screen will cut it for this. It’d be a bummer, because c:geo is a pretty nice geocaching app that does what I need.
