I love the Nexus One, absolutely. It's only missing a hard keyboard, and I wouldn't mind some upgrades to some of the software, but that will come in time. However, it definitely, in my experience, does not run 'as' fast as it did out of the box after installing 80+ apps. Don't get me wrong, it's still fast as hell, but now I can see it lag here and there while scrolling through apps, watching the live wallpaper, or hitting the home button. But it's a very slight lag, and as others have said, multi-tasking is like nothing else. I had a real problem with picking up calls on my G1 because when a call came through, the G1 was so slow and/or out of memory, the phone would simply vibrate continuously until I pulled the battery, and that's even with Cyanogen's ROM installed. This phone has no such issue. Even while streaming music from Pandora, I can easily switch to any other app without issue.

Oh, and I definitely miss HTC_IME :'( Yeah, it can be installed, but it'd be nice to have one that was meant for the higher res screen.
[Nexus One General] efeltee:
80+ apps? Hmm uninstall the crap ones (60?) :p
[Nexus One General] Mi|enko:
My only complaint is the over saturation of the screen. More often than not, reds look orange. I'd love to be able to adjust the color palette.
[Nexus One General] aagvain:
so far no issues. takes a little getting used going from hardware kb to on screen kb (g1 to n1) but so far its what i expected
[Nexus One General] andjohn:
Doesn't it have a jack for 3.5mm?

Isn't there a jack for normal generic headphones on the top?
[Nexus One General] SystmDcln:
Love mine. I have used the G1, and the MyTouch3G and neither hold a flame to the Nexus. I took it in to T-Mobile today to ask some account questions and had a game of show and tell with the reps. They were really impressed with it.
[Nexus One General] kelddaug:
How did you do that..? I got thrown of the pay sight, using a proxy and Danish credit cards or Google account didn't work either. Fu..ing irritating :mad:

So I had a college to order it for me in Uk with a Uk credit card.
[Nexus One General] mark925:
Yes, on top.
[Nexus One General] K69:
I know i will love it once i get it. :D
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
I'm coming from years of WM ppc's. The Nexus One is Awesome, Fast, Work of Art, Customizable, etc. :cool: Did I mention Fast :D
[Nexus One General] darkstar38:
The Nexus one is absolutely amazing!! I came from 32b sapphire(my touch). I have had the Nexus since last wednesday(Jan 6th) This phone is probably ten times faster at loading apps and navigating around. Internet browsing is insanely fast, its pretty much like browsing on a pc. Typing on the android keyboard is actually pretty good, if I type as fast as I can the phone does not miss a beat, I tested hitting 2 keys at the same time and it always picks up both of them. I have never noticed the phone slow down one bit even when it is running 20+ apps at the same time. Almost all the apps I had for the Mytouch have worked very well on the Nexus. Orientation is almost instant, and the camera takes pics really fast as mentioned above. The screen is beautifully clear and functions well. So far I'm very impressed!
[Nexus One General] degs:
Just got mine today. I love it.
[Nexus One General] lightforce:
LOVE mine, it totally takes a dump on my old g1
[Nexus One General] burton14e7:
Hate the on screen keyboard. Can't type worth a damn. As soon as the G2 or whatever keyboard phone with the N1 hardware comes out I'm moth balling the N1. Other than that I love it.
[Nexus One General] JanetPanic:
I love my N1. It is easily the best phone I have ever had, it is just missing a physical keyboard. Everything else I can live with. I have this dream of a dock with keyboard. It would be the best of both worlds.

Ah well. I can live without I guess.
[Nexus One General] OrganizedFellow:
LOVE the large screen. LOVE the speed.

I installed all me previous apps from my G1, some ran flawless, some ran with problems.

I too, tested the multi-tasking ability, and this thing flew!

I tested the speech-to-text, and it picks up almost all my words.

I speak fluent spanish, and wonder if someday, Android will have the capability to 'add words to dictionary' that it does not properly spell in speech-to-text.

:)

I dig the Gallery (dig - not love). It's a little getting used to.

A positive note about the gallery is that it automatically loaded all my Picasa pics :) that impressed me.

Overall, I've only had my phone 11 hours and have put it through my regular daily grind. I even reinstalled 'Retro Defense' - a fine graphically intense game that made my G1 battery to hot to handle.

My N1 took it like a champ without slowing down - just as it should with its SnapDragon.
[Nexus One General] archboy69:
I love the phone. Are there some quirks and things to be iron hopefully with an update soon but overall the phone is awesome.

The screen is beautiful, the response is terrific (though there is the occasional shutter), the speech to text work scaringly well and the nav is great. I use it constantly in the car. I think some of the apps still need time to update to the new resolution because some are still a bit fuzzy as also the games. The keyboard is getting use to compared to the HTC one but I'm learning. I tend to hit the keys at the bottom sometimes which is like *snap* but it isn't a deal breaker. I can type pretty good on it but not something I want to write an essay with though. Overall, it is a strong and sexy phone...I think Android should have started with this form factor from the get go.

I'll take this any day over the iPhone...blah! LOL
[Nexus One General] Svegetto:
Hey guys,

I have a bit of a dilemma, I currently have the htc HD and I'm not sure if I should get the Nexus One, or wait till march and get the HD2 (I'm on Tmobile USA). Since I'm on a family plan, I would have to pay the full $530 for the Nexus where I'm guessing the HD2 will be around $350 so roughly $200 less. The way I see it, each phone has some pros over the other and for me it's roughly even.

From my point of view,

HD2's perks:

4.3in Screen (over nexus 3.7)

Scratch proof screen (is the nexus one screen scratch proof as well?)

Slightly thinner

HTC Sense

*(win7 is rumored to be showcased in Feb at MWC like win6.5 was last year. It only took like a week for xda to have 6.5 on the HD after that. So that could be really interesting.)

Nexus One perks:

AMOLED screen (consuming less power and better looking...though i heard saturated).

Smaller and Lighter (not sure if lighter is a perk, but why not).

Slightly more RAM

Android (though it lacks htc sense...)

Available now (HD2 is coming in March to Tmobile USA)

I know that this is a nexus one thread, so I'm guessing there is likely to be some bias, but that's normal and at no fault to you guys. Any help in this decision is welcome. Hard to choose between such two awesome devices. And I know that "to each their own" but again, I'm stuck right in the middle between these two devices.

Thanks
[Nexus One General] hurrycaine3000:
just got it today, love it!
[Nexus One General] armrob:
what i like :

beautiful screen, lightning fast, multitasking feels so natural, good speaker

what annoys me :

-unresponsive(back, options and home keys need to be pressed sometimes 2 or 3 times to get a response. it feels like you need to press a little to the right of the icon and not exactly on it)

-exchange seems to work and then not work

-Email (you can have unified inbox with the email app, but the main google account has to be viewed with the gmail app. and yahoo mail does not work. even with pop3 enabled on the account.

-some apps keep crashing. Copilot live crashes more than it should. Google Navigation needs a connection to function. we gotta have at least one reliable GPS app that does not need a network connection. and that's not the case.

-No copy and paste : in the Gmail and Email apps I could not copy anything.

the power button to wake up the phone ? not a problem just annoying if you use the phone with one hand. the trackball would have been a better choice.

maybe Nexus 2 will be better but in the meantime this baby's going back to Google.
[Nexus One General] gnabgibeht:
2nd day of using the n1, i sold my iphone 3gs!
[Nexus One General] gnabgibeht:
you can copy and paste, you touch and hold the text and it'll pop a menu out for copy, cut, paste, etc.
[Nexus One General] gnabgibeht:
also, i got yahoo and gmail working in the NON-gmail app.
[Nexus One General] secretasianmanjv:
I am in the same dilemma, but I am holding out for the HD2. Although both phones are great the ridiculously large screen of the HD2 seems more beneficial for me. Not to mention the WM7 release coming next month and the Android port. So if I really wanted to switch to Android OS it would be a really nice ROM with a very large screen when they get it fully functional. But that's just my 2 cents. Good luck on your decision, either one would be a great choice.
[HD2 General] Roguexmg:
This phone has obviously got **** loads of issues, if it wasent for this forum then It would have been a piece of junk.

I have hopes that HTC will bring out firmware but now with this new Nexus kicking off im asking myself what support can we expect from HTC who is now fully in joint support with Googles Android.

From a business point of view it makes sense to realise that the HD2 was in fact a failure and to offer only the bare minimum support to enable a success of the nexus one.

Just like Vodafone decided to axe the HD2 and now a nice news flash comes through that Vodafone UK will be offering the Nexus one, which just further supports my theory.

Having said that I wonder if after enough complaining i would be able to get a Nexus one as like for like replacement for my HD2.

I was firm supporter of WM but with the current situation i cannot imagine HTC being arsed about a flawed product and development for WM7 either when they just done this Android deal.

Suppose the only real problem i have with android is unable to run TOMTOM.

Lets have a banter :) your views are welcome.
[HD2 General] gdayhtc:
HTC will not lay its eggs in one basket
[HD2 General] xenept:
HD2 is a flawed product?

lmao. Get a grip man.
[HD2 General] DMAND:
You do know most people who post on forums, post because they are unhappy with something.

There are plenty of people out there who think the HD2 is the best phone that they've ever owned, just because they dont clog up the forum with posts on how happy they are (or because they actually RTFM) doesnt make the device a piece of junk.

Thank you
[HD2 General] kangmas:
What type of ****load issue are you gripping about? This piece of flawed junk can beat the ****load out of iphone anytime.
[HD2 General] gdayhtc:
well said
[HD2 General] Roguexmg:
People that write on forums are tech savy and know whats cooking other people use it as a ****ing IPhone to show off, and cant be arsed about what it can actualy achieve.

The reception on this Phone is ****, Period! your an idiot that hasnt payed attention to it if u havent noticed. phone keeps on going should i go H no 3g no G no H no 3g no G it keeps on cycling through it like a spac when using data

The H reception is on 1 bar where with another phone on same providor its on full 5 bars.

conencting to my WIFI router i get oh waite ... 10% signal level. what does my laptop get thats in the same spot? ****ign 90% full speed.

The SMS issue where it takes ages to load messages is a FACT

SMS get stuck in the outbox and sends after x days ???!?!?!

Camera flash is OVEREXPOSED upclose night shots

All these faults has been Confirmed by other members on this forum, so dont go telling me its not a flawed product.

Edited rude name calling out, appologies.
[HD2 General] sharpey:
hmm nice attitude.

seems we have another little troll.. please dont feed him
[HD2 General] gabbs:
Vodafone is getting the nexus via google not via htc..they drop the hd2 because of apple request..
[HD2 General] rlydiard:
If you hate your HD2 so much why don't you just send it over my way.
[HD2 General] kangmas:
well said

Well written, Steven Paul Jobs . Yes, its been confirmed by other member. So far ONE, and counting.
[HD2 General] Timax_50:
There are definately issues with this phone.....T-Mobile can't be bothered to release a Rom update they say that it is undergoing thorough testing....so we will probably get it when Windows mobile 90 comes out in the year 2090.

I agree with Rougue but I don't think that name calling and offensive language solve anything
[HD2 General] xavierdemon:
I think you should just calm down, you're entitled to your opinion but don't expect everyone to share it.

Your first post said "your views are welcome.", clearly they are not, as you can't handle them.

Request MOD lock, as this thread serves no purpose.
[HD2 General] Roguexmg:
Why will you fix all these issues for me.

as for the rest

Yea i am p'd off because i was going to get the Samsung Omnia 2 but then saw the HTC hd2 and i realy enjoyed my HTC touch cruise. So I waited a long time, read reviews and all that changed provider to Vodafone paying top dollar even though i get 40% discount on Orange contract just to be presented a sheep in wolves clothing after extensive use and being told oh no these faults are phantom and dont exist, yea right

Thanks for the feedback im looking forward to reading CEO Peter Chou's interviews which no doubt is filled with deceit of the 9th kind.

I have a temper excuse my outbursts
[HD2 General] cMMY69:
HTC have been quitely making phones for many companies behind the scenes for years. Over the last few years they have (quite rightly IMHO) "come out" as a top flight device designer and fabricator. They don't stick to one operating system and I don't think ever will. What your service provider decides to do is entirely outwith the control of HTC, who, i suspect, will continue to design and sell the highest quality products in all "open source" operating systems under their own name as well as proprietary OS's for other vendors.

Have Vodafone actually supported you as a customer to the same level that HTC has to us who bought unlocked phones? For me, Vodaphone have never supported Windows Mobile properly. My Omnia only ever had 1 update from them which is why I decided to buy unlocked this time. I still have a contract with Vodafone and will get a free upgrade from my Omnia when my contract allows but no matter what I choose i do not believe that it will be supported as well as an unlocked handset.

Most devices have issues, these are released very quickly into an aggressive market. For me it is how a company responds to these things that is important. Service providers, for me, just cannot provide that support. HTC are not perfect but I chose to "early adopt". In technology we used to always say never buy version 1 of anything, always wait for services packs to come out and be implemented ina new version release. Early adopters are known to be at the bleeding edge, and this can be messy, but fun at times.

Please note that this is my opinion, stated in a respectful manner. I make no claims to speak for every HD2 user, mobile phone maker or service provider in the wordls. I speak from my personal experience. I do not republish 3rd hand gossip from other sites and pretend I have inside knowledge. My HD2 is not perfect, it's the best phone I have ever had though.

Regards.
[HD2 General] eskasi:
I have had issues posted... and I fixed all of them with stuff I found here... I consider it tweaking :)

My flash shots are fine, WiFi is good (you wont get a better signal with the Nexus... its all HTC hardware!), NO issues with radio, I use WM sms instead of HTC... I get all my sent notifications and it ALWAYS gets sent.... I love my phone! I am also faster with Swype on my keyboard than if you gave me a ISheep to txt with....

Now, having said all that, I MAY consider buying a Nexus in the next incarnation once they offer Multitouch, a screen the size of my HD2, the same thickness of my HD2 and when even more Android apps hit the market. I am really impressed by some of the stuff Android has been coming out with and the speed of the OS (On the Snapdragon chip of course)... Qualcomm is coming out with 1.5 mobile chips soon! I can't imagine what that would do for our WM and Android devices!

Even if I bought one, I would use it as an alternative to my WM phone (HD2 for today). Its only cause I love the WM platform so much cause of the ability to tweak and ek out more performance/customization.... if you don't like that kind of thing, NEVER buy a WM phone! I also have all the software I need already for my daily use! If my foray into the Android platform keeps me happy (with alternatives to apps I am using now and newer fun stuff), I MAY consider a move....

My final word... the Nexus 1 is a fine phone it seems... however, its lacking just a little IMHO to get me to even consider it at this point... its darned close though... WM needs to buck up and wow us with WM7 or they may even lose some hardened WM users like me... maybe ;)
[HD2 General] rlydiard:
Perhaps you are unlucky and received a model that should have not passed QC, and it seems your carrier is not supporting you to your satisfaction.

I do suggest you just sell your HD2 and get a phone that will not make you blow your cool.

No matter what type of temper you have it is no excuse for denigrating Peter Chou's integrity.
[HD2 General] TomH01:
There's always one isn't there, Mr Angry:mad:
[HD2 General] kankam:
What a load of bull! The HD2 is the BEST PHONE AT THE MOMENT! Vodafone could simply not meet the huge demands for the HD2, plus they had Apple biting their heads off cos the HD2 was going to crush Iphone sales at Voda. That is the reason why they pulled.
[HD2 General] antilagman:
I have to say, I think the HD2 is the absolute best thing ever, i have had the iphone and various other htc`s and by far this is the best.

I admit i must be one of the lucky ones as i havent had a single problem so far and have customized it to my exact needs, so to me it is flawless !

I`m not geeky but i just love the way there is always something to learn and add and tweek, when i had the iphone all you had to do was wait until the next app to come out that kept you busy for the next 5 mins ? its a phone that is all colours and glitz to me, and it didnt work for what so ever and many friends have had so many problems with them its untrue. but we could be here forever battling over phones, it is totally personel preference.

but i just wanted to add my pennies worth by backing the hd2 and as stated previously most people do just post about problems they are having or had and not posting about how well things are going...

i wish you all the best with your new phone ::)
[HD2 General] kor kuiper:
Every phone is great if it does what you expect off it.

I have my hd 2 for about a month, did some tweaks and i am vere pleased with it. I am still in the mood to try some changes and some work great and others don`t. I come from an tytn2 and although there are much complaints i was very pleased with it.

I waited a while before i descided to go for the HD2. I`m pleased with it. When i would be not sattisfied i will try another one.

This forum is very nice to ask questions about your phone and help sorting thngs out. Isn`t it great !

People get serious answering back and if there is a problem that can be solved it is to be found in a while over here.

Maybe sometimes the expections overide the capacity or possibilities of your phone. Thats a shame but its not the end of life.

PLease try to find sollutions over here and go on from there.

This forum opened my yes for the possibilities to change the phone so it works the way i like it. The things that are not possible with my phone are not possible. Thats the way it is.

Let this forum do what it does the best. Helpin out there were it is possible with the input and labour of many people who like to help, don`t let frustrations about a brand ore type become the frustration of this forum.

[HD2 General] tzangPro:
HD2 didn't fail Vodafone, Vodafone released their flagship phone, the Vodafone 360 (Samsung H1) just before the release of the HD2, with a huge marketing campaign backing the 360. Pushing out the HD2 would undoubtedly damage the sales of their flagship phone, which is why the HD2 isn't sold through the normal consumer channels.

Last I checked, Vodafone still sells the HD2 through their business channel so how exactly is it "axed" :confused:
[HD2 General] abarth500:
hd2

the phone is beautiful, the nexus looks like an apple prototype, that is good enough for me.......oh and its weight.......pure pleasure:)
[HD2 General] jakem:
This guy is just another troll. Why bother with him.
[HD2 General] band27:
XDA makes the phone great and without it, I would not put up with manufactures downfalls and deficiencies as they are unacceptable at times.

HD2 with XDA = excellent/best phone ever

HD2 without XDA = not so good, have to wait for HTC to make better drivers

Bottom Line:

Some junior members here give up to easy with there devices. Learn the ropes and from this, you will have the best phone possible. The minute you depend on HTC to help is the minute you begin to hate your phone...:o

More good news, WM7 and that is just around the corner so think twice before selling the device.

3 P's For True Enjoyment to the HD2

or any phone XDA supports:

• Patience

• Passion

• and then you will see Progress

* I hated my diamond when I first got it but I had all 3 p's in-tacked and even with it's hardware restrictions, the chefs here made it not only usable but current to today's expectations.

Happy Flashing....:D
[HD2 General] TheOnly1:
WM is just not for everybody :) I love it because it can do things others can only dream about....most haters hate it because of that :D Having played around with the HTC Hero I can confidently say that Android in it's current incarnation is still not up to the challenge. |Too many restrictions, too many sturpities (try to open a txt attachment in a mail message with Android!).
[HD2 General] moooxooom:
I suppose it doesn't trouble people that the Nexus is discovered to be having problems connecting to 3G or high speed networks yes? If that's nt a serious problem, I don't know what is. Oh wait, that would mean iPhone has serious problems too... hmmmm
[HD2 General] freyberry:
If you take a look at all the iPhone's problems, you will never ever call anything on the HD2 a problem again... seriously, if you want one of the most troubled phones ever made, get an iPhone, that thing really has '****loads of issues'.
[HD2 General] htc12345:
If you don't love tweaking, don't buy any device with a tweakable operating system.
[HD2 General] webjunky:
atleast the HD2 screen hasn't exploded yet :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
(blink)

I'm sorry, run that by me again? You're saying that Vodafone stopped selling HD2's because too many people wanted one and they were worried they were going to sell too many of them? You're seriously suggesting that? :eek:
[HD2 General] rlydiard:
It is really time for one of the moderators to close this thread. It is not only a waste of time for members that could be better used in improving the HD2 experience and helping those with earnest requests for assistance, but also a waste of bandwidth and server space.
[HD2 General] gabbs:
well..i waited a month for my phone from vodaphone,they told me it was i very high demand , i ended up getting it from a another supplier but on vodaphone..

it is reported on several sites that apple was very angry at them sellig the htc hd2 much cheaper than they would the iphone..
[HD2 General] m999bos:
I think this is the best reply. We all have our opinions. Every phone in the world ever created has some flaws.
[HD2 General] band27:
But not every phone has XDA supporting them. Trust me, that plays a major role when I select my phones.

Harness the power of xda and you will never switch,...;) Even if at first it seems bleak.
