Paul 2200:

First off, like someone said lol, I never said I didn't like my phone. Did you read where i said I have now paid full price for THREE of them? Or where I was happily surprised at how smooth it is? I love my phone.

Secondly, for those of you that think I'm whining... search my name. See in the TP2 forums where I pointed out how happy I was moving to Android, how WP7 and Iphone are nice but dissapointed me? How I, as many others even in this posting, think Android is the future for the power users on WM, which happen to be the majority of XDA members, who prefer customization over being locked down? You could hardly call me one of the members who whines for developers to hurry up. Which I also pointed out earlier.

As it is... I would prefer the Desire over the n1, but only because I actually really like the ease of use with Sense, which is my opinion, and because it is carrier released, which easily avoids all the hassles I've had with a $7 a month insurance plan. Besides... the Desire is an N1 with Sense, an optical trackpad, and hardware buttons.

As i previously stated... if I see a droid-like phone... really thin and hardware keyboard, which obviously people like since its almost the top selling (or possibly is) Android phone... I'll jump on it in a heartbeat. But I like my N1 just fine.

Sooo... just for all the naysayers who have turned my thread into a back and forth fanboy fight lol... here is what I love about my n1:

1. Trackpad... I've had no issues. I'ld prefer an optical one only bc I hated my BB ones always getting stuck. But I love ease of use and colored notifications are great.

2. Screen... I don't play games. I run a business on my phone, and do alot of browsing and contacts stuff. Screen has been fine for me, I only wish it were a little wider for typing. I was only pointing out issues I saw that others had. I do resent the cracking LCD, but all slab thin phones are prone to this. My wifes IPhone has done it twice.

3. Speed - I can't complain. The custom roms have over time slowed my phone once in a while if I don't flash... but opening 5 programs doesn't make my phone crawl like WM and jbroken Iphones at all. I loved how fast it was when I bought it, and it still is if on a stock rom.

4. Apps - Our catalogue is smaller... but every iphone app has 5 clones, most android apps are free, and iphones catalogue is largely games

6. integration of google apps / facebook - windows mobile users are hating us for this. It will be closer in WP7 but right now no one else has such a functional integration

7. exclusivity - that sales thing goes both ways. I live near Dallas TX. NO ONE I know has my phone, and everyone likes it. One guy said HTC phones are like the Bugattis of cellphones lol, which is misinformed but telling regardless.

8. Android - not neccessarily a phone, but the n1 was designed to show what Android could be. Android was wierd getting used to, but I love it for what it is. Extremely flexible, very open, and not planning on changing either of those things. WM is closing off to chase consumers, Iphone is feeding on its own ego acting oblivious to the way markets work against the monopoly of a segment. All the while Android embraces WM's old ideas, and it's own, and is taking off like a rocket.

There you go. I'm not an idiot out here whining about developers and things I don't understand. If I wanted to brag about another phone... I'ld get it. And be in the forum for that phone. I could say to Paul which phones I like right now, but that's not the point. I like my phone. I want to hear how other users think of theirs.
