If you were to post in an apple forum..."hey, i just sold my iphonepod in favour of a nexus one" you would see similar responses. The only difference being a witch hunt would ensue if you left the apple collective :)

People are growing tired of "it's okay, it's only the internet" as a justification for poor grammar and ill-written thoughts. It is also rather ironic that a person is off for higher education and is unable to use simple words correctly. Perhaps they should be handing out dictionaries and the like rather than iphones...

ps - you're, not your. writing not wrighting. an not a. it's not its.

:)
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
I thought the same thing as I was reading the post!

Let me help you with that since you'll need to know this in college:

i spelt threw wrong....woah! you're big and bad. :p

Your is a possessive term, where as you're is the conjugation of "you are". So in the future, make sure you check if your usage is right by replacing the term with "you are" and seeing if it makes sense to you. ;)

Anyway dude...bro... you need to grow up and stop acting like an e-Gangsta. To be fair, nothing you posted is anything new. We've all heard it all before and so the thread is a flaming waste of space. That being said, good luck in college.
[Nexus One General] DMaverick50:
The phone has a powerful processor and an impressive amount of RAM. I dont think it uses either one nearly to its potential (at least i hope not), which is kind of cool because, although the phone is smooth and fast, the performance ought to be able to be vastly improved with software updates. I like the phone a lot but i also think its fair and justified to expect a lot more from it down the road.

If anyone that knows about hardware can confidently tell me not to expect much more from the device please post that information so that i may sell this phone. thanks
[Nexus One General] C.Slater:
'Through' is the correct spelling. 'Threw' is the past tense of 'throw

"Yesterday, I

threw

a ball

through

a hoop."

I'm glad Jesus can afford iphone 3gs's for all students! :rolleyes:
[Nexus One General] JoshHart:
Jesus is a baller, lol, im still confused about this dust issue, does anyone have a picture of what this is all about? I got mine the day it launched and I have no idea what people are talking about I havent had any problems with dust and really cant see how it could get under the screen, I keep mine in my pocket every day so Im sure it woulda happened by now if it could. Id also have to agree that the only thing the iphone has is the app store, once androids gets up there it will be a lot better because there's a lot more potential. Id already have to say that handcent, dolphin, and google voice are good examples of that because apple only lets you use their stuff and blocks something if they already have an option is pretty wacksauce in my opinion, why not let the people choose which they like the best, makes no sense to me. Oh well. /rant
[Nexus One General] kylez64:
now thats funny lol

I would assume jesus would upgrade but that is best saved for a different forum ;)

Meaningless thread...

Wow, OP is so smart that he can go to a university!!! SO? I've got my B.S. already, duh!

I just wonder who the heck would buy OP's engraved Nexus One with dust under the screen...

Too funny. :D

i use my nexus 1 headphones on my mac and they work perfectly fine. no issues or shocks whatsoever. and i insert them all the way in, not half way fyi.
[Nexus One General] faraz1992:
if u could point out the exact place of the dust, we'd be able to check if its just ur problem or others have too....

nexus one is much much better than iPhone 3GS.....as far as apps are concerned, its just a matter of time.... i'd recommend it to ur college too :D
[Nexus One General] faraz1992:
and he missed the punctuations too....
[Nexus One General] thisguy10:
damn, they givin kids iphones when they get to college now.
[Nexus One General] JJackson9995:
On my way to work... I thought about how mean I was... But I'm enjoying the thread ten-fold now!!!

Honestly, I believe it comes down to this.

This kid loved his N1, but his school gave him an iPhone. Said kid now has to justify how his iPhone is better (even though we all know that's impossible).. We know you WANT the iPhone to be better, but it's just not viable. Go join the Apple fanboys, we got no space for mindless drones around here.

P.S. If this were truly NON-BIASED, then you would have both Pros and Cons to the phone in question. This thread is an attempt to make the N1 look worse than the iPhone... Nothing more.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Guys... dust is a real problem for a decent number of units that were sold earlier on when the phone was released. Not sure if the newer units are a 100% fixed or not, but here's the link to my thread in this very forum.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=613115
[Nexus One General] crazy talk:
seriously? you complain about bias, then post that garbage.

Android/HTC fanboys exist too. we got no space for mindless drones around here.

anyway, i am curious on why they mandate the 3GS when you can accomplish all the same things with a Nexus, what was their reasoning?
[Nexus One General] JJackson9995:
They likely mandate it because of a deal with AT&T, that should be easily expected. (This is how AT&T works... So I imagine their business deals are similar in the way they work). Most businesses or entities will use only one company... We now know this school goes with AT&T OR Apple. Or both. That's fine, just the choice they made.

And, I was adding sarcasm to this already worthless post. He says nothing positive about the device, yet calls it unbiased. This is like watched Engadget reviews for the N1...

And, to be honest... I have already admitted that the iPhone has the stronger market, but otherwise I do truly believe the N1 is the superior device in every way that I use it.

At least I gave SOME props to a different device. I didn't just plop down in an iPhone forum and start talkin sh!t about it. I jumped into this thread to look at real views of a piece of hardware... Instead, I run into some guy complaining about dust... AGAIN. Among other very well known issues. I realize that there are issues, but there are also praises.

This was not close to unbiased.

Sorry if I offended you with my previous post though. At this point in the thread, I've lost all views of seriousness :D
[Nexus One General] deprecate:
Yeah, that made the ps way too long :)
[Nexus One General] seanowns:
By the way. I will admit I am cynical, but you do not get the IPAD(Iphone, Laptop, whatever) for free. They simply apply it into their calculation of a credit hour, and POSSIBLY even profit from it.

It may be free for you though! Especially if you have scholorships fronting the bill. Just remember that someone other then the school is definitely paying! Good luck eitherway though
[Nexus One General] jongie123:
Now that thats said i want to continue with whats the truth about the nexus.

1) i had a problem with the headphones along with alot of other people when listening to music threw your headphones that came with the nexus you would get a shock... for me it mostly happend when i was plugged into a computer.

Dude I'm sure the problem wasn't the headphones,it was your Mac*.
[Nexus One General] JoshHart:
Wow that one pic has some major dust, im glad i havent had any issues with mine at all. I never doubted the problem existed just wanted to see what I should be looking for but I definitely dont have anything under my screen so thats good. The headphone issue is weird this is the first time i heard about that i have mine plugged in all the time and use the stock headphones glad i havent been shocked. Not gonna worry about it though.

lol almost as good as apple's iphone stock headphones? The iPhone's headphones are complete crap. They sound plain bad.

It makes me a little sad everytime I see some poor soul who spent $200+ on their iPhone/iPod and is using those cheap crappy earphones that come with them. A $10 pair of Sony or JVC earphones are many times better.

Oh and you're not getting an iPhone or an iPad for free. You already paid for it with your tuition.
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
i just got my nexi back TODAY.

must be from a new batch because its perfect

and this is very biased and you spelled through "threw"... college much? lol
[Nexus One General] Mafian:
PFFT LOL (In tears)
[Nexus One General] starkruzr:
LYou want the truth? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!

What? Someone had to say it. ;)

So, I'm coming from a 3GS on AT&T. Here's my honest compare-and-contrast.

Better on the Nexus One on T-Mobile:

Performance. No contest. The Nexus One, especially on CM5, is much, MUCH faster at ALL tasks. It flies no matter what I throw at it, and has power to spare.

Display quality. We all knew this, of course. The OLED display is much better except in bright sunlight.

Software freedom. To some of us, this is really important.

Google support. Duh. ;)

Phone plan. T-Mobile's Even More Plus is just a fantastic deal.

Better on iPhone on AT&T:

Software availability/development community. The App Store is huge.

3G availability. 3G, at least under CM5, is still sketchy.

Multitasking?!?! Yes! I really prefer the Backgrounder/Kirikae model on jailbroken iPhones to the much more nebulous attitude on Android.

The keyboard. I REALLY dislike the Android Keyboard.

Now, how do I feel about my choice a week later? Great! The N1 is a power user's machine, no doubt. It is the only phone I know of that is designed to be rooted by those who want to. I REALLY respect Google and HTC for that decision.

Overall, I feel the Nexus One was by far the better choice for me.

(Oh, and for the record, I have a Master's degree in computer engineering... and GO IRISH. ;))
[Nexus One General] Mafian:
Indeed nothing in life is free, he just thought...Since It's not coming out of my pocket now its free...hehe wait until you have to pay them loans back...
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Wait, how exactly are the people in your college getting iphones, are you all on AT&T? Are they giving you unlocked phones, or you're simply going to have to switch to a different carrier o_0.
[Nexus One General] starkruzr:
The choice is iPhone or iPod touch.
[Nexus One General] docsparks:
I didnt read any posts in this thread.

I just wanted to say that I got my Nexus today, and I couldnt be happier.

I got an OTA update as the phone sat in 1 spot, with 1 bar of 3g, charging.

After the update happened, It did its thing, The phone stayed in the same spot.

3G Coverage kicked up to 3 bars.

Since, that, Ive played with my phone all day, no root yet. Will probally do it when i get home.

But so far, stoked.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
I must ask.

No dust?

lol~
[Nexus One General] OnlinePredator:
Lol I call BS......

And guys come one, if the university is sitting there thinking how can they easily and quickly get info out to students in a reliable manner, while the students will have a device that is idiot proof, as if they would go for android devices lol. iPhone being idiot proof doesn't make it better by the way, I'm just saying that the majority of users would much prefer the simplicity of an iPhone, whether the users who use XDA would prefer the customisation possibilities of android....

Lol @ docsparks	"I didnt read any posts in this thread. " -Love the people who join a conversation in the middle and just give their thoughts on the title of the thread......
[Nexus One General] docsparks:
none, phone was flawless.

@OP - Sorry, have been dieing to tell how people how happy I am with it. Regardless of the opinions of others that weren't so satisfied.
[Nexus One General] BrooklynAvi:
It's a bit off topic but I don't personally think that the Apple App Store is any better than the Android Market. I think there are some better features (comments being version specific is pretty nice) but when it comes down to it, 20,000+ apps and 100,000+ apps is pretty much the same thing. I've spent more than a year with Android and have a particular interest in apps (see my user name) but have yet to even come close to trying every app. More does not equal better, not in terms of quality or usability.

On another note, the writing abilities of people on the Internet, even on sites dedicated to writing "articles," is absolutely atrocious. The Internet is creating a generation of complete morons. I have written thousands of posts over the years and I'm positive that I have made many, many mistakes (perhaps even in this post), but I do my best to at least do some basic spelling and grammar checking (I'll even edit a post later if I spot an error). There is no excuse for this in a modern world. Moreover, modernity should promote better writing considering the host of tools available to everyone, often literally at their fingertips. When I got to college in the early nineties, my writing was horrible. I actually has to petition the school to allow me to take remedial classes so that I could learn how to write (I had managed to scam my way into English 1 only to realize the problem with that once I got there). There is just no excuse today for not knowing, at a minimum, the basics of writing. Feel free to point out any mistakes I make. I have no problem correcting them and learning from them going forward.

Here's a fun site to get everyone started: http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~jlynch/Writing/index.html

Let the flaming begin!
[Nexus One General] PISSANDVINEGAR:
The dust under the left hand side of my screen is a pain in the ass, it's only visible at certain angles though. Doesn't always bother me. My phone also stopped vibrating on first charge. I love my phone all the same. It's a unit, powerful mofo.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
I'm feeling chatty so...

A) People say the iPhone does have better quality apps. I guess this in terms of visual style / eye-candy. I've never owned an iPhone but from videos online etc I think that is what they mean by better quality. (Correct me if I am wrong on this iPhone owners?)

However, with iPhone being so incredibly locked down and Android being more open, I would wager than Android apps are more useful and more powerful, given that they have more access to various parts of the OS...

B) Games. iPhone definitely does have more and better looking games. The graphics chip is better I believe, or at least it's synchronous with the OS, whereas Android has to run everything on top of the Dalvik Java interpreter. Hopefully once they release that new Java thing that is 300% faster, things will get better. Maybe others can comment on how Android will improve in the graphics space (without having to upgrade the hardware)?

But I don't play games on my phone _at all_ so I couldn't care less. Just playing Devil's advocate.

First off, "I actually

has

to petition the school to allow" (should be had). I don't point out mistakes but since you asked for it ("Feel free to point out any mistakes I make.") ;)

Anyway, I agree.... However!... I think this problem will solve itself over time with better spell and grammar checks embedded into browsers and the like.

(For one thing, Firefox has an embedded spellchecker, so it's very easy to see who isn't using Firefox ;))
[Nexus One General] DeathmonkeyGTX:
I do not like the iPhone. I got drunk and broke my Kaiser's screen on Friday, called AT&T on Saturday to see if I had insurance on it. I did, so Touch Pro 2 for $125. 'bout to head over to the Rhodium forum and hunt down unlock/Hard SPL and a nifty rom without TF3D. Stock rom idles at 70% memory usage. I had my Kaiser idling at 35%...

[Nexus One General] Dr.Gonz0:
I'm neither a fan of google or apple...

Google for their invasive practices and apple for the fact that Steve Jobs is a ****, and uses child labor to make that iphone you're using. I see where the OP is coming from with the annoying dust on the Nexus, but that is not a reason for someone to go dumping an expensive phone for a more OEM controlled phone. One question i have is what kind of college gives it's students iphones? Makes no sense to me.... a portable hard drive for lab work is one thing but an iphone to "keep in touch" uh.. didn't god invent email for that???

Who'se paying the bill? If my school said "you need this phone" my response would be "okay but you pay the bill"

Seriously... talk about a waste of money... a 300 dollar phone that'll end up costing atleast 3000 in future student loan obligations. Maybe not for u but definitely someone in that class had to take student loans to attend and pay for the equipment.

nonetheless I'd definitely flash it with a custom rom or firmware or whatever the hell is for iphones thats similar to rom cooking on winmo.

btw I am not a fan of M$ either... don't get me started on Bill Gates and his hinky dealings with eugenics, but that's a side issue. Just wanted to ask some honest questions and make a reasonable suggestion.
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
I agree. Highly doubt the iPhone is "free"--the cost of it goes somewhere in the tuition fees, masked as something else.
[Nexus One General] cheetah2k:
Wrighting? stop speaking yiddish!

Man get your act together and quit the "hal-la-lu-lah" BS. Can't spell "threw" and writing...... come on man pull it together.

LOL!

I have a pre-production N1, and all I can say is that its perfect (no dust, etc). There will always be some dodgy units out there, hell how many Xbox 360's got RROD? How many iphones returned with farked screens, cracked cases, dead batteries??

I've come from a long legacy of iphones (2G, 3G and 3GS), and I have to admit that for Googles first phone (and my first Andriod), this aint bad at all. Not many issues, reasonably stable firmware, an App store thats crackin, and a snappy OS. At least Googles first attempt is 3G and packed with loads of goodies. I think people forget Apples first offering - 2G, no GPS, no app store (came 2 months later in firmware), no MMS, no voice recognition, no cut n paste (i mean wtf?) litterally a brick people had to wait 6 months before that damn app store kicked into high gear - and even then it was limited. Speed wise it was slow, so slow that apple had to up the bus & CPU speed in a firmware release. Unlocking the damn thing was a biatch too, and I bricked my first iphone learning the hard way..

IMO, Android OS still has a long way to go, but I can see it putting a spanner in Apples works in the not to distant future :D

wow, I agree completely. I've had all the 'it' phones for the last four years and so far the Nexus has ticked more boxes for me than any other. Could I still come up with a list of dislikes? sure, but it's short :D -However, if my mom wanted a smartphone, I would probably tell her to get the iPhone. They (iPhones) are easy to manage, built solid, stable OS, provide great support, offer tons of cutesy diversions and integrate well with people's lives. It's easy to see why schools and IT shops are starting to push them. A true "set it and forget it" device. Still, I'm not sure what educational benefit an iPhone provides and seems to be endorsing the wrong values.

the TRUTH about the N1.

When I took it out the box it had plain homescreens which begged to be changed and made into my own.

Then I found it had the best hardwarre out of any phone. Then I played with my phone for 2 solid months (still in progress). Thank you Google/HTC for giving me the toy which dominates my life (sadly, but I feel im not the only one) that I'm still just as happy and satified with as when I first openned that little white box.

this is very true.. apple's main consumers have always been people that are perfectly happy with apple telling them exactly what it is that they need.

sorry apple, but im smart enough to be able to figure out how i want my device to behave and function. The same can be said for their operating system, nice, simple, easy to use, hard to screw up.. its perfect for apples target consumer group, people that are too dumb to know any better..

let them continue to do business as they do, us power users are smart enough to understand the alternatives and use them to our advantage
