[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otis_bartleh:
Do you really have both phones? I did and the Vibrant couldn't get over 873 stock. I'm waving the BS flag here...

Have you ever used these phones? I have. I spent about an hour using a fully activated Droid X, Droid 2, and the Droid Incredible, at the Verizon store, head to head doing the same tasks as my N1 at the same time. None of them came close to the N1. I was trying to convince myself to buy one of them since I wanted to switch to Verizon, but just didn't like any of them better, and NONE of them outperformed my N1. I left happy with my N1 and walked over to the T-Mobile store, looked at, wasn't too impressed, but decided to give a try to the Vibrant. Returned it 1 1/2 days later. At this time (last week) my N1 was un-rooted, running Froyo FRF91, so yes I am well aware I'm comparing a Froyo phone to an Eclair phone, but that was another point. I didn't want to root at that point.

I don't think anyone is denying there are quality phones out there, however, I have yet to find a phone between Verizon and T-Mobile to outperform the N1, nor be any better at all for what I use it for. I would only go to those two carriers as they are the only 2 that can give me the price and specs I want for a monthly service plan. And I was never bashing the Vibrant, I liked it, but I had a list of things between the Touchwiz GUI and the way it works to the light plastic feel to the FACT that it does not have better reception in ANY area I use it in. It was either same to 1-2 bars less.

then you say alot of things about the screen. Ummm, duh... Dude, the screen is phenominal on the Vibrant, but to me, I don't game or watch movies as mentioned previously, so the only advantage it had for me was its better in direct sunlight. My multitouch on my N1 has not been even that noticable since the first 2.1 update, so not a big deal.

My Wi-Fi never had an issue (had a small one last night, but never while stock, and I had a setting wrong in the CM settings, so not the phones fault), and my phone never gets hot. It will get warm when I am using it while it is connected to the charger, but thats it. And my phone gets heavy media use.

Camera wise, I don't care about video, and honestly, haven't even tried video recording on my N1 in months, and din't bother on the Vibrant, but still pictures looked the same to me, and the N1 has a flash, so the N1 wins there for me too.

And a comfortable experience is completely a matter of personal preference, so you just have no grounds to speak there that one is better than the other. I disagree with you. And as for being sold online only, well I think thats kinda cool. I am one of the ones who have a phone that people go, Whoa, what is that? as well as having the PLEASURE of a plain old, left alone Android OS, on top of being the first phone to get any updates, very cool. At that point, not wanting to root, that was a HUGE advantage, and continues to be for anyone not wanting to root their phones.

I'm not saying you are wrong, but you are claiming we are all idiots.... Just out of curiosity, how old are you?

Oh yeah, you saw video. Is that your idea of "owning both phones"?

Will someone please close this thread? This has turned from a pleasant discussion where people are allowed to have opinions to an annoying troll having to have the last say, and claim his opinion is fact...
