Well they are announcing iPhone OS 4.0 and I gotta say it's looking sweet with the Multitasking and unified inboxes. I would still really like to see bluetooth data transfer (still going on, maybe they will announce it, but I doubt it since they consider it a security risk) and an updated interface (and not just wallpapers like every other phone has had for years apple... sheesh)

[edit/update]

Yeah not much else going on with that announcement. iAd is nice, but not really neccessary and I feel will just enforce more ad placement in Apps. I don't give a crap about game center since I don't play games like that (nor do I own an X-Box so having an X-Box like experience doesn't matter to me). I don't use MS Exchange, so added support for that doesn't matter. Unified inboxes is nice, can Android do that??? If not I'm sure it will soon...haha. And I like the way they integrated multitasking, I think it's better than android. With the ability to freezeframe an app so it doesn't kill your battery or resources, but also the ability to let some apps run in the background, using only what they need for the task they are running... and the ability to bring up the list of running applications to switch between (the only thing like this I've seen on android is the recent app list, which doesn't include all open apps)... so unless there's a quick and easy app-switcher widget or something, I think the multitasking support on the iPhone currently has Android whipped.... but it's nothing Android can't recover from with a few tweeks.

Apple is still standing strong against their Flash support. And depending on how flash runs when it gets included officially in Android, I don't know if this is a smart move, or a bad move on their part.
[Nexus One General] jasrups:
The Apple updates to iPhone OS were nice and much needed, but not groundbreaking. Definitely makes me happier I pulled the trigger on the N1 now!
[Nexus One General] :
Now that they've announced that OS 4, and essentially lifted android 2.1, I say stick with android phone.

Steve jobs is such a piece of ****. Apple sues HTC for bull**** patents, then turns around and rips features from an open source OS because they know no one can come after them.

Pathetic.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
I'm with you there, I thought they were going to release things that were revolutionary and amazing.. but I really don't seem to care much about anything it had. I guess iPhone users will.

Multitasking on Android doesn't have to be implemented the way it has on the iPhone, if the app has been programmed correctly - it does not actually suck up battery while it is idle (unless you have a very high refresh rate) so therefore Android users have no need to force close applications or dictate which ones we want to run in the background - because Android does it all for us.

The list of open applications thing I don't know how to counter, iPhone users only need that because they have to scroll through multiple screens to get to the app they need (though they can rearrange them). Apps that we commonly use should be placed somewhere convient, or we can simply press our search button, and have apps we may be looking for pop up right there for us.

Apple didn't win me over with this one. Same bland interface, same lockdown, stolen Android features, and pretending wallpapers are new to phones... boring. I can't even upgrade my first gen ipod touch because it's only for 3Gs touch 34rd gen and up. Which means it's time for me to jailbreak my touch and not worry about breaking it. I won't need it when I get my N1 anyway... since I can just pop in a microSD with my music and be on my way.
[Nexus One General] lostinbeta:
Now, that I didn't not know. Awesome!
[Nexus One General] :
Give it a few weeks, you'll see comparisons on how similar apples implementation is to androids.
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
al i know is that flash runs AMAZINGLY on the Desire rom. give it a shot
[Nexus One General] rjhay22:
Just as I expected... Iphone 4 came out short, I didnt think it would have enough stuff in it to actually make it better than the N1, only thing thats worth mentioning with all the so called "change" it has, is the multitasking... Which Android already had since the Cupcake :P

I say it again... Its a desperate act to compete with the N1 :)

Anyways, back to topic... You will like the Nexus as much as everyone else in here do. And there may be a lot of good phones coming out, but I doubt it'll make you change your mind about your N1.

Good Luck brother!
[Nexus One General] imperiallight:
Nicer and bigger screen. Power to run a desktop linux OS. Openess.

The new iphone HD will probably be a screamer though and currently has better apps. The iphone ''can replace any real-world object you own: a book, a music player, a TV set, a DVD player, a coloring book, a board game, an artist's canvas, a notepad, a DJ's turntable, a globe, a map and so on''.
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
That is pushing it just wee bit, don't you think?
[Nexus One General] lostinbeta:
Agreed. Just a bit. And besides, do people really want to read books and watch tv on their phones? I don't even watch tv on my tv... it's not all that important to me. And anyone using a phone as a dj turntable better not call themselves a dj. As for the maps, google maps... isn't that what the iPhone uses anyway? Already equipped in Android for obvious reasons ;) Best maps you can find.
[Nexus One General] imperiallight:
lol, yeah maybe just a little on second thoughts, it was a copy and paste job:p
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
I wish Google was mean enough to remove all of its Google services from the iPhone OS, though sadly they probably need the money. It would be a nice punch to Steve.. though, an iPhone without Google can't be that different than an iPhone with it.
[Nexus One General] lostinbeta:
Apple will phase them out. They have already purchased map companies, presumably to phase out Google maps with their own software and maps, and I'm sure they are working on weeding out the rest of Google from their system in due time.
[Nexus One General] jimnicoloff:
This gets a +1 from me:

With OS4 announced, high res apps being produced, it is all but a given that the next iPhone will have a good screen on it (800x480 minimum). If you want an iPhone I would wait till June/July, and if you are not impressed by what OS4 has to offer then just go N1 now and don't look back.
[Nexus One General] jasrups:
Unless you know you want an iPhone then I don't agree with anyone who says to wait. There is no hardware that will be coming out in the foreseeable future that will blow away what's inside the Nexus right now. The Snapdragon is here and it will reign as the best until the dual-core chips come out. That won't be happening this summer, so really, if you want a phone right now just go for it.

It's not the same situation as the people who were recently in the market for a new laptop, they had every reason to wait because the Core 2 Duo's were being phased out by the i3's, i5's and i7's. Right now I wouldn't advise anyone to get a Macbook or any laptop with a C2D chip. I would tell them to wait until the multi-core chips become standard across the board (which will happen very soon), but I can whole heartedly recommend the N1 to anyone looking for a phone right now.

If you wait until summer, you might get an 8 MP camera and gain the ability to record video at 720p. For me that's not worth waiting for.
[Nexus One General] krabman:
I think you have to speak for yourself on this one. No phone can replace any of the objects you just mentioned for me and the iphone is pretty far down the list for something to replace those items if I was forced to. There is one thing it could replace though. One of my kids made this thing out of clay in school, not really even sure what its supposed to be but I often have my porthole open and I use it to hold down my paperwork. It could replace that.
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
ok... i mean we ALL should know that the iphone replaces things to a certain degree. but nonetheless it replaces a hell of a lot of things that are most definitely used in every day situations

but to me? that IS worth witting for. but also, if you have the cash to spare to buy a nexus now and then an iphone in june/july, then go ahead and pull the trigger on both, if you could afford it...

and i definitely agree with this. get an n1 if you can, get an iphone if you can. =]

OS4 is definitely an eye opener now, and they could even implement more things in the future, after all, there are still about three months till this is at a commercially available level

=] my $.02
[Nexus One General] krabman:
Sorry zach but the only thing any cell phone replaced for me was the cell phone before. I would never use any cell phone as a first resort for any of the things mentioned in that post. Or second. Nor have I gotten rid of any of those things because I have a cell phone which seemingly I would have if that nifty phone was actually replacing them? Or are we saying in a pinch I can use my phone to do those things? I can get behind that.
[Nexus One General] jasrups:
I just got my At&t/Rogers N1 today! These are the things that immediately jumped out at me:

-It is the most well built phone I've ever had, it's super thin, feels great in the hand and is very sturdy. I went from having a Nokia E61i (amazingly durable phone with metal casing) to the HTC Magic (plastic casing, feels very cheap) so I'm glad to go back to a phone that feels like it's actually worth something.

-Screen is gorgeous, I haven't experienced any of the purple tint issues some others have been having.

-Most disappointing thing so far: the phone is actually surprisingly laggy swiping through homescreens.. Cursordroid on the Magic actually swipes much more smoothly, which was a shock. Now I know flashing CM or Desire will get rid of most of the lag but IMO it's unacceptable that the phone is this laggy stock. The average user would pick this up and think it was a slow device. I'm really glad rooting and flashing a custom ROM fixes this, otherwise I would probably return the phone and wait for something that could handle 2.1 more optimally.

-That said, the speed from app to app is great and the load times are quick!

-I'm actually one of the few who doesn't mine the trackball at all. Where I live, it snows for 4-5 months and the trackball is great for when you're wearing gloves. Because of the same fact, I'm sorely missing the hardware buttons, especially the Dial button. There's now no easy way to redial or effectively navigate and make calls without touching the screen. I guess this isn't a big deal for alot of people but for someone in my situation it's pretty annoying. I would now have to take my gloves off, tap the phone button, go to the call log and tap on the last number.

-The touch sensitive buttons themselves work perfectly fine for me

-Overall, I'm happy with it so far. I'm going to hold off rooting it for a week or so just in case a defect pops up.
[Nexus One General] DMaverick50:
Subjective opinion:

For the most part I agree with the assessment that the nexus hardware is sufficient for the foreseeable future, so long as the RAM issue is ironed out, I feel strange having such a relative small amount of RAM being used. It's a very bizarre situation to a passive user like myself. I read the resolution, processor and RAM specs which were some huge selling points and it turns out the effective resolution is surprisingly low and the phone doesn't use all of its available RAM. I'm sure there are good reasons but to a novice like me its very disappointing.

if the resolution and RAM are fixed this phone can be relevant for a long time.

The problem for me is that for a superphone, 480 video recording is disappointing. the newer phones have 8 megapixels (the nexus's 5mp in the right conditions really takes phenomenal pictures) and hd recording. I love the idea of having an mid, phone, high quality camera, high quality video camera, and a gps device in my pocket. The current 5 mp camera can take beautiful pictures don't get me wrong but once I get that hd recording ill really be set for a long, long time.

"awesome phone"- absolutely

"superphone"- almost

[Nexus One General] lostinbeta:
Well my phone arrived a few days ago, it was a very speedy delivery. So far I have been in love with this phone. It's taking all my strength not to root it and install the desire rom because I want sense (coming from the FUZE I fell in love with the Sense UI, I think it's gorgeous). But I want to wait a little while before I do that. I give myself a month (if I can make it that long...hah). I don't want to go bricking my phone early or having to send it in for warranty with it being rooted... even though they should repair non-software issues if it's rooted, I don't want the hassle of taking that chance right now...lol.
[Nexus One General] Daswolven:
Honestly, this question shouldn't exist anymore. Steve Jobs clarified everything when he said PEOPLE WHO LIKE PORN SHOULD GET AN ANDROID PHONE. So yeah, it's really that simple.
[Nexus One General] lostinbeta:
Actually it shouldnt exist with the mention of iphone os 4.0 and all the features it just added now when android has already had them. who got ot right first apple? thats right, android did.

I searched and didn't see a conclusive answer for this but I'm wondering if its possible to use the Android dialer from aosp over the htc one in fresh 2.0d.
[Hero CDMA General] marcusva79:
what is the AOSP dialer. Hopefully it wont have the dialer vibrate and contact prediction.
[Hero CDMA General] thematrixkid17:
Well, you can't really use it the way you're thinking about using it. Sure, you can push it over and it works, but you can't remove the HTC one. And once you dial a number, it's going to then switch to the HTC one. And, if you receive a call, it's going to use the HTC one.

Short answer: unfortunately no.
[HD2 General] starstreak:
I like the new Opera 10, but I noticed the pinch/zoom don't work. How do I get it back?
[HD2 General] rlee008:
you dont.... multi-touch is not included in 10.0... which sucks so thats why i went back to 9.7 and use SkyFire to use websites with alot of flash content...
[HD2 General] nicastro78:
Is there anyway to remap the hardware back button with Opera 10? I can live with out pinch to zoom, but really like the hardware key.
[HD2 General] ryan562:
you can enable pinch to zoom on it via bsb tweaks program from the open market. doesn't work well as the built-in programming on the earlier version of opera but it gets the job done.
[HD2 General] ferrisnox:
I personally prefer 10 its much faster, has speed-dial and bookmark syncing. It has tap zoom which is well enough for me.
[HD2 General] jeffel:
i tried 10 and for some reasonthe flash didnt work... and yes i enabled plugins
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
Only way I was able to get flash to work was to use a ROM that had the flash files cooked in.
[HD2 General] ryan562:
flash works for me on opera 10 although i had to reinstall it due to crashing on me (non responsive/freezing phone) the first time.
[HD2 General] addicus:
Install the flash 3.1 and Opera 10 cabs to the phone storage and flash should work fine.
[HD2 General] glenbo111:
Hi guys,

im new to the forum, just like say you guys have done a fantastic job helping people to get through the maze that is the HD2 tmobile uk!

The toolbar at the bottom of the screen which shows the keyboard icon and simple commands like 'back' and 'all contacts' etc Lags behind the current page you tap onto.

e.g

i come off the lock screen to see that the toolbar at the bottom is either blank or showing part of the lock screen picture...

any suggestions?

cheers

omg, almost forgot, this is ONLY for 2.1 sense

you can view the Rosie.thm in notepad, all the commands seem to be there, i dont know if you can edit it and resave it as a .thm, so i dont know if you can make this work on 1.5. why not give it a try?

so i started messing around with metamorph, and i came out with this, and actually kinda like it.

its really easy to install

download the zip to anywhere on your sd card

download and install "metamorph" from the market

start meta, let it run its check (for root acess and the like)

then click on pick theme, navigate to the zip you downloaded, let it install (5s tops) and now you have a new espresso rosie! the blocks expand when you press them!!

future releases? any ideas? suggestions? requests?

this was built off of one someone posted a looong time ago, if you see this and wanna PM with your name and a link, ill gladly give credit!

this is my first mod ever, i know its lame, but im working on it, ok? :-)

anyone have a strip down of the status bar? ill have fuuun with that one!!!!!!!

the best part of metamorph is, the fact that it only affects the files you tell it too. for example, most mods include an edit to the status bar AND rosie, because their both connected somehow. but with meta, theres no update signing or anything, its just putting in the right commands and images, and no need to boot recovery!!

i hope you enjoy!!

screenies

NEW ESPRESSO ROSIE!

know where i can get a status bar strip down? maybe...themes thread?!

try it out and tell me what you think!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bob2300nx:
Tested and working. I see potential in this. Anyway you might share what you edited in the rosie.thm? Are there other modifications we could do?

Regardless thanks!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mountaindont:
like i said, this is built off something someone else posted. i know you can view the .thm in notepad, i dont know if you can save, but i do see the commands, and a little research im sure i could get it down.

this is what the current thm says, i didnt touch it

Sense 2.1

any

Rosie.apk

/system/app/

i think its commands for meta, right?

telling it ot make sure we're running Sense, and 2.1

any version (the post i found this in mentioned you could do this in any 2.1 sense rom)

telling ot to push rosie to /system/app/

i think meta takes care of the rest. you just have to know what your running, what your pushing, and where your pushing it too...saves the hassle of signing and flashing an update, and COMPLETELY avoids the use of ADB

thank god,i never understood that
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] regaw_leinad:
Not 100% worded correctly.

Rosie is the apk that will be edited, and it's located in /system/app

In the folder along with the scriptare folders that show the path inside the apk, and the files that will replace the existing ones. The script tells metamorph where to copy/replace the files in the folders to.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mountaindont:
ahhhhhhh, so in theory....ifbwe ever found the correct xml file that sets the.params for the trackball, we could just meta it in....hint hint...

i know that made no sense.

we should gtalk about that, though...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] regaw_leinad:
Unfortunately the xml files are coded/in binary

So even if you uncode them with that one XMLS blah blah .jar,

you shill wouldn't be able to make it work on the phone....
