slick as in quick and easy i guess?

and my nexus easily lasts me 1.5+ days under

HEAVY

usage.

cool i didnt know about that app! thanks!

although you dont need an app for the iphone haha :p
[Nexus One General] bobdude5:
lol well i never really got a chance to test past 1.5 days lol i charge it when im go to bed but it usually has 40 percent at the time ( i got to bed like at 1-2 am lol)
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
i totally agree.. just one night i forgot to plug it in. died later that day though (didnt necessarily let it "die" i just shut it off at like 2%)

My phone is simply perfect. No issues whatsoever, apparently I am one of the lucky Nexus owners. The only thing though, I do like about the iPhone more - is the UI polish. Apple is simply great at designing things. I'm ok though, as long as I have a Desire ROM. HTC Sense is quite nice.
[Nexus One General] DMaverick50:
Youll be happy with the nexus. It is great now and stands to realize much of its latent potential if Google wants it to. If you've had an iPhone you will definitely be disappointed in the touch screen. It's possible though that Android might be able to iron out some of the jittery, jumpiness of the nexus touch screen. But its a decent screen,those who have never used an iPhone think the nexus has the best touch screen there is so its definitely not a deal breaker.

Also, the nexus has higher resolution but I don't think there's and denying that the iPhone just looks crisper, especially the browser. But the nexus gpu definitely loads pages faster. I think I'm just rambling now...
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Multitasking

The fact that it's unique and NOT an iPhone that everyone and their mother has

Customization

Live wallpapers

High resolution (2.5 times the iPhone)

Flash Lite

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, what?

No denying that? I 10000% heartily deny that. Disagree to the nth power.

It all comes down to your personal preference. You can read all types of reviews and you'll see that Nexus One wins over iPhone 3GS. The features of the phone are outstanding. Just ask yourself what you want in your phone. If you want lots of applications, music, go for iPhone but if you want free applications, customizations, widgets, great camera, blazing fast web experience, go for Nexus One. Its just a matter of time before android applications touch the mark set by iPhone. Once you root your Nexus One, its going to be a whole world of possibilities....

For the issues you read about Nexus One, I want to tell you that the tinted screen is only present in the newer devices which would be very soon fixed by an update. The capacitive buttons work perfectly when pressed on the upper half of the button. The dust problem is present in a very small no. or hardwares and if you live in US, then you can call for a replacement if it happens with you.

Android would very soon be taken up by most of the mobile makers as its open sourced and free. I read somewhere that the phone companies who have taken up android OS have to pay very little in comparison to Windows Mobile.

So go for Nexus One, you wont be sorry....

Here's what I wrote in another forum regarding this question:

Having thought about it I realised that the choice to go for an N1 is easy if it fits your needs. Since it has been released all the focus has been on how it compares to the iphone. Understandable as apple set a high bar with many features such as the apps, the graphical physics and ease of use. The n1 more or less matches them and comparing many of these features doesn't get you far. They both are fantastic bits of hardware, great screens, amazing computing power, touchscreens etc. In some ways the N1 performs a bit better in others the iphone but the differences between them are small.

However I think the N1 has gone to a new level with features the iphone simply hasn't got. I don't have to open an app to access the information I want. My calender, agenda, weather, news, daily Bible reading, personal photo's, music player (and playlists) one touch dialling to favourite contacts (and many other thing I don't use) all run on my home pages. And here's where it moves mobile information on; all these widgets update automatically and wirelessly. I don't have to plug my phone into my computer to update my agenda, it happen without hassle right onto my homescreen. Furthermore these services are free - and yes I did pay for mobile me and no its not worth it.

Bottom line is that both the iphone and the N1 are great bits of kit, you won't notice many gains in function between either hardware as far as I can tell but the software has moved on from simply apps. Unfortunately the press just focus on the things that you can compare but the how can you compare widget on a N1 to nothing on the iphone? The N1 is in a different class to the iphone because it does things the iphone can't dream of doing, try to keep up apple!
[Nexus One General] lostinbeta:
Thank You everybody. Your advice has been helpful. I actually feel that the Android UI is nicer than the iPhone, to me the iPhone seems plain. Though I will admit that the iPhone is probably a little more user friendly, I don't mind the extra clicks on Android, and it's not like it's difficult to figure out by any stretch of the means. And it's good to know that the issues people are having are only occurring in a small percentage of devices, I was really worried that I would throw down that kind of money and have a jacked phone that only lasted me half a day and had a dusty mis-tinted screen...haha. Hopefully I'll be able to get my N1 ordered by the end of this month.

The next step would be rooting. I don't think I'll root it until after the warranty is up, but I don't know, I said the same thing about ROMing my FUZE and that didn't happen. Though on an unrelated question, how come so many N1 ROM threads don't have screenshots of the ROM. The ShootMe app works great, I use it on my FUZE with Eclair. It just seems like a big risk to install a ROM without knowing what you're supposed to be getting.
[Nexus One General] bobdude5:
actually its less clicks for android lol you know with the widgets and all..with the iphone it takes four clicks to modify your brightness for android it takes one, it takes 3 clicks to turn on wifi and bluetooth on iphone and on android it takes one, it takes 4 clicks for gps on iphone and android 1, it takes 3 clicks to post something on facebook and 1 on android (same for myspace), it takes takes 2 clicks to search on iphone and none on android..you see my point lol
[Nexus One General] liam.lah:
Warranty is 1 year, you will get hot feet by then. There should be desire screenshots around. CyanogenMod's UI is identical to stock, extra features being the selling point.

Are you running on the HTC Li-Ion battery or some new U-235 battery?:confused:
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
The Nexus One is great. I don't have complaints so far other than the tiny loudspeaker. Heard that the Desire ROM gives it a louder volume. Anyway, like someone has pointed out, if you can wait until June, I would wait. I think Apple sees the Android OS as a thread so they must be building something big for the iphone 4Gen. The iphone 4Gen will probably be better the Nexus One... BUT I am confident that the Nexus Two or whatever Google wants to release in the future will take over eventually :)

Not saying the Nexus One will lose to the 4Gen for sure. Remember FroYo and Flash 10 are coming to the Nexus One.
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
stock 1400 milliamp battery.. i just charge it is cycles so its basically trained to be the best
[Nexus One General] :
Wait until they announce the 4th iteration of the iphone.
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Being that you have been running Android on your Fuze, you are well aware of what Android is capable of... if it is anything like Android was on my Kaiser, it ran better than WM did.

The "issues" with the N1 have been well documented and debunked, for the most part, as either your usual manufacturing errors(not every phone is going to be built perfect, and iPhone's have had many of the same complaints, just not blown out of proportion).

I will say, the "true" issues are that the N1 doesn't have a "true" multi-touch screen(software can help this, but there is a level of hardware limitations), the speaker isn't that great as a speaker phone or music projection, and that is about it for "true" issues. The rest are just a result of some phones having manufacturing errors, and from the sounds of it the newest N1's, both T-Mo and AT&T are not showing any of them; ie "dust" or "tinted" screen issues. As for the capacitive buttons at the bottom, I don't think it is an issue so much as design... I have no problem activating my buttons.

I have an "F" P/N phone, aka "first batch" and have none of the issues. The newest batches are a "B" IIRC, and I have yet to see anyone with one of those reporting issues. Some of the very first AT&T had tint issues, but those complaints seem to have gone away really quickly.

So, as for you question as to whether you would be spending $530 on a phone that will be full of issues that might make you feel bad about the purchase, I wouldn't worry unless you think not having true multi-touch or great in-phone speaker are deal breakers. For me, it isn't since I don't care at all about gaming and I am an audiophile, so using my phone as a musical projection device is not even an option no matter how good the speaker might be. I will say, in call clarity is amazing when not on speaker phone, and it is more than acceptable when used in speaker phone mode, IMHO.

Edit:

If you do get the N1, make sure you get the Swype keyboard. It is pretty damn sweet, to say the least!
[Nexus One General] DMaverick50:
You're right its very subjective. When I was typing I was thinking about the various tests that have shown the effective screen resolution to be significantly lower than indicated and they have shown the nexus touchscren to be less accurate than the iPhone. I think its been shown that text is definitively more crisp on the iPhone but I shouldn't have suggested the nexus one has an inferior screen, its a vibrant screen but it can't be viewed outside, ultimately its value is in the eye of the beholder. Most importantly, the flaws and shortcomings that tests have revealed are, as I understand them software related and thus remedial.
[Nexus One General] lostinbeta:
@pjcforpres: Thank You. And true multitouch and a loud built in speaker really aren't dealbreakers for me. If I were to use it for music it would be via Aux jack or my Bose headphones... and I don't play games on my phone, plus any software that needs multitouch seems to be performing as needed so I'm cool with that.

And you bring up a good question with the keyboard. How is typing on the N1? I'm used to a physical keyboard, the only device I had that didn't use a num pad or keyboard was the Diamond, but that sucked to type on just because the screen is microscopic in comparison to your thumbs trying to hit the buttons. I know I'll fumble around for a bit with an on-screen keyboard, but how accurate and easy is it to use? Android on the Fuze obviously isn't a good comparison since the screen is the same size as the Diamond.

And for the users who are pointing out the screen, I'm aware AMOLED screens are not visible outside very well, but neither is my VGA Fuze and this issue very rarely ever effects me. It can be a bit of an annoyance when it does, but for the most part it's not an issue.
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Your welcome! For me, it has been an easy transition from physical keyboard to onscreen keyboard. I had never owned a 100% touchscreen before the N1, always had BB's, Kaiser, G1, and the so forth.

It is accurate enough, at least for me. I can actually type really fast, even with the stock keyboard, it is just a matter of tapping away with faith the auto-correct will do its job(it does)... although, I had a BB Pearl for 6 months, so I am used to having faith in the software to get it right (BB Suretype).

Anyways, for me I am hooked on Swype now! It has a couple day "learning" curve, but once you get used to it, and it learns anyword you use that are not stock, it is amazing! If you have seen the new Samsung comercial showing the world record for typing on a phone, you have seen Swype.

Also, screen does suck outdoors, but if you turn it all the way up it is better than my Kaiser was, and IIRC (I only tested the Diamond) it is better than that as well. Not as good as a BB or some other phones, but it isn't unusable with the screen turned up unless, of course, you are standing so the sun is directly behind you right pounding right away on the screen.
[Nexus One General] krabman:
I went from a querty brick which I tired of to smaller form factors till I ended up where I am now, on a diamond. To be honest I had planned on going back to a querty slider until I tried swype. I actually do pretty well with it even on my diamond. For this reason I have decided to do one more go around on a larger screen device using swype which I think (hope?) will be a decent tradeoff between form factor and typing. I agree with you on the screen, I cant see my screen in direct sunlight now, not being able to see in on the N1 isnt exactly a deal breaker for me.
[Nexus One General] lostinbeta:
I just installed Swype for WinMo on my FUZE, it will take some getting used to, but it's actually a fantastic keyboard concept that I think will be a perfect addition to the N1 when I get it.
[Nexus One General] sabwafare2001:
I ended up selling my Jailbroken 32GB 3GS and now using a Nexus for ATT. Sold it because I sometimes ended up using the 3GS for certain apps and things seem smoother. I maybe would have went back to it eventually if I still had it. The only way I stopped this was to get rid of it all together. Wanted to try something different. Also, because everyone's mother, father, grandma, sister, etc has one now.

With the Nexus, everything seems to work together very well. You don't have to download different apps to get different features. Nav, speech to text, email notifications, multitasking, live wallpapers are already built in without need of modifying settings or jailbreaking it. Rooting it opens up to more buitls thats usually already built into the Rom.

However I might say that a Unjailbroken iPhone IMO is unusable. Jailbreaking an iphone puts it on that same level as other phones because of all the modifications you can do with the UI. Once again that's my opinion. As mentioned above about the Nexus, for the iPhone you will have to download different apps or settings(and jailbreak) to access these features. They are not built in......mostly

My advice is to buy the Nexus and sell it when the new iPhone comes out. If you decided you like the Nexus enough compared to the new iPhone, then sell the iPhone and rebuy the Nexus, which you could buy off eBay or craigslist cheaper at that time. Or maybe you could wait to buy the next big Android phone, since they come out frequently. The value of the iphone will hold especially since an Unlockable 32Gb 3GS after almost a year later still sells more $ than Most(not every) phones except for a Telstra HTC HD2, at least as of today. The Nexus is a great alternative to an Iphone.....get and get one......today. The longer you wait, you'll never end up buying eventually
[Nexus One General] pokey9000:
Audio is one of the few areas where I miss my old iPhone. The headphone jack is impedance sensing so if you hook a cable between it and a line-in input, it will lock the volume. Hook in your headphones and it's at its previous setting. Attach bluetooth headphones or a bluetooth stereo adapter and it remembers the setting it used for those. Flip the silent switch and only the alarm will play out the speaker, including when you accidentally hit play on Pandora. No background hiss ever. Provided only one player app can run at a time on the iPhone, but there's no worrying what app will run when you press the play/stop button on the headset.

Of course, most of this can be fixed in software, and 2.1 is way farther along in being intuitive to use than Cupcake was. And the great thing about N1 and Android is, unlike with the iPhone I'm allowed to find solutions to those problems and share them with the community (officially, at least).
[Nexus One General] jasrups:
Just pulled the trigger on the Nexus! I'm coming from a 32A Magic.. The preview of Apple's OS 4.0 will definitely be interesting and like some have already mentioned, the playing field between the two operating systems could definitely be levelled. I love the customizability of the Android platform but Apple adds a level of polish that is very impressive, everything runs incredibly smooth.

Who knows, I may pick up the new Iphone come summer time but for now, I'm looking forward to receiving my new N1 :)
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
good for you bro! you won't regret it!!!

there is definitely stuff you have to do when you first get it though!
[Nexus One General] bobdude5:
so im guessing you like the desire rom ?
[Nexus One General] gadgetluva:
I had an iPhone 3G and also a bunch of smartphones, mostly WM - Audiovox SMT5600, Treo 659, 8125, 8525, Blackjack, Blackjack II, Treo 750, 8925 Tilt, Blackberry Curve, Blackberry Bold, Treo Pro, and Tilt 2. Still have the last 4 listed smartphones, and just got a Nexus One.

I liked the iPhone because it was so different from what I usually used. Great responsive screen, awesome internet (and the iPhone specific versions of sites were great as well), good apps, GPS that worked quickly, and it was pretty smooth (the 3G is slower than the 3GS, but I digress). But I was annoyed by my iPhone for multiple reasons: Apple insisting on keeping it locked down, the dependence on iTunes for photos/videos/music, the overly simplistic home screen (I don't want a bunch of icons that doesn't tell me much), the lack of multitasking, no removable battery or etc. etc.

I really liked WM for the longest time - I've used Pocket PC since the 2002 OS days and saw every version up through the current WM6.5.x. I liked that you were free to do whatever you wanted on your phone - adding whatever apps you want, customizing it to your liking, not being tied down to something like iTunes. My favorite thing about WM? The Today Screen. At the time (pre-android really), WM had the MOST POWERFUL homescreen concept around. I had a bunch of plugins that gave me the info I wanted. Weather, calendar, tasks, new messages, time, calendar, etc. HTC TF3D2/Sense made it better too, but that was a Today Screen overlay and could be disabled if I wanted other things.

With Android, I feel like I get the best of WM and iPhone together. I absolutely love the Android homescreen, especially with 5 different panels. I currently have a bunch of widgets - a weather clock, monthly calendar, calendar+tasks listing, memory/battery level indicator, notes, control for wifi/airplane mode/brightness/vibrate/etc., music widget, not to mention my most used apps as icons and in organized folders on my homescreen. The android market isn't as "complete" as iPhone's app store, but it's getting there and I've found pretty much everything I wanted and used to use on my 3G - and more. Of course, I have to mention the Google integration. I used Google for a lot before I even got an Android device - search, gmail, reader, voice, maps are the main apps I use on a daily basis on my computer. Now, all of these things just work FLAWLESSLY on my phone.

That's pretty much why I'm sticking with Android, unless Apple does a complete 180 and allows a bunch of the above, happen.
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
I do like it... but I keep going back to my back up and flashing g the desire ROM when I wanna mess with it. Its nice but for some reason I don't have the ~576 MB of ram. I only have 78 about so I don't know the reasoning behind this. I'm gonna do a search layer but this ROM comes from a reliable source so I don't know why this is. Otherwise it is a good ROM but I don't feel like I'm comfortable to using it for everyday use.

Cyanogen is cool too I just don't really know the feature so I also have to check that out
[Nexus One General] SiNJiN76:
One thing that pisses me off about the N1 is the touch screen responsiveness/unresponsiveness. especially when browsing and trying to scroll...it would register 2 touches causing the screen to zoom. Google probably knew of this defect thus disabled pinch to zoom when it was first released.

Doesn't happen often, but when it does happen (ESPECIALLY while it's charging) I feel like throwing the f'n phone across the room through the window, then get my car and run over the damn thing.

Other than that...LOVE the N1 and the freedom it provides.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Make sure none of your skin or anything is touching the black part of the screen, usually this is the ONLY time that anything like this happens to me.

Other than that my phone is usually perfect.
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
I second that. And I just tested it and that seems to be the case so, take heed when using one hand.
[Nexus One General] MaximReapage:
I've had that problem a couple of times....it was always either due to touching the black part of the screen or having 25+ apps running in background (though my max is around 30 xD). If I got annoyed enough at it, would just do a soft reset to fix it.
[Nexus One General] lostinbeta:
Why don't you just get Advanced Task Killer and use it to stop all background tasks at once and call it a day?.. and the newest version provides a widget which is just a 1x1 homescreen icon you can tap and it wipes all open apps. It comes in handy with Eclair on my FUZE since XDAndroid eats battery life like a hungry monster eats children (but what can you expect when running something not meant in any way shape or form for your device)
[Nexus One General] jasrups:
I'll be rooting, now it's just deciding whether to put CM or Desire onto it!
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
Ya.. I don't know man. Flash is pretty flippin cool. I wish I knew some of the key features of cyaogen though.... do you know em?
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Is it that hard to go to the Cyanogen thread and see the features yourself, they're really just like right there as soon as you open the thread..
[Nexus One General] jakontil:
the cyanogen 5.0.5.3 is most stable compared to the rest available imho
