I just got my N1 back from HTC, sent it back for the 2nd time with a bad touch screen issue, they put a new front screen, main board and something else. I must say this phone has never worked better. I have had iit for about 1 week and the screen has not failed me yet. My GPS hits satelites in about 2 seconds, (inside) HTC have been great to me. Will never sell my N1 but saying that I still bought the MyTouch 4G and between them both I still use my Nexus 1. Nothing feels as good in the hand as the N1. Why didnt HTC and Google make the Nexus S???? Still pissed off over that.

THANK YOU HTC FOR MY N1.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
I feel kinda silly cause for some reason I'm not getting tempted by these "spec wars" phones coming soon because I'm addicted to my nexus one in terms of the whole package it gives me. The color track ball for example has turned into literally a part of me And how I use my phone because I use it so heavily with tons of notifications all the time. I don't know how I'd live without it.

It sounds silly to the geek in me but I've grown so in love with this nexus one-shot overall package, it still feels so solid high quality in my hand. The track ball, perfect size, etc its making me not want these new phones unless I get the whole package equivalent. I could keep my nexus far into this year.

This goes against the geek in me, but something special about this nexus has me hooked like some strange cult thing. It's just such a classic phone which is making it hard for me to wanna switch to these new phones. They all are missing that one feature to make it the complete perfect package like my nexus.
[Nexus One General] mmague:
I traded my N1 for the Nexus S sand I am in love with this phone even more than the Nexus 1
[Nexus One General] rsm86:
In all seriousness: right now, an Iphone 4.

Not trying to troll, I recently played around with one and I must said I quite enjoyed it. It felt snappy, polished, and all around a better performer than my n1 on the stuff I tried.

Please don't hate me.
[Nexus One General] mmague:
WOW. I don't hate the iPhone but seriously? What did you like about the phone? Be specific because my girlfriend wants to get one but I don't see why.
[Nexus One General] zok-star:
Motorola Atrix.. Looks like the next best thing!
[Nexus One General] MarcP :D:
This. For sure :D
[Nexus One General] rsm86:
Alright, this is what turned me over:

1. Browser smoothness. It's just day and night. Open a webpage where there is a lot of text and links with your N1 (for example, the forum index, xdaforums.com). See how choppy it is scrolling around. It's butter-smooth on the Iphone4.

2. Wifi reception. My bedroom is located kinda far away from my router. I've tested 3 nexus one's and they all have problems connecting to wifi from here. They lose connection frequently if I hold them the wrong way or place them in the wrong spot at my desk. The iphone, however, connected inmediately to the router and never lost connection as I moved around, even made a video call with skype and it went pretty smoothly. It connected almost with the same signal strength as my laptop.

3. Games, gpu performance. I was blown away when I tried an unreal 3 engine demo and another demo using id's rage engine.

4. Overall UI smoothness.

5. The display is amazing. Resolution, brightness, and even the multitouch sensor are miles above the n1.

6. Not gonna lie here, build quality felt as good as the nexus, but I liked the iphone's design much better. Completely subjective point here, but I gotta say it.

Again, not trying to troll. Anyone knows if you're a tinkerer you'll feel right at home with android, but if you only want your phone to work, the iphone 4 is more than alright. It just works. I've had my nexus for quite a while and I've really liked it.

If your gf wants an iphone4, all I can say is I pretty much doubt she'll regret getting one if she does.

As for me, it's not like i've turned into an apple fanboy. I don't even own an iphone. My original post said "right now, and iphone 4", as if to say i'd switch to it if someone offered me a trade right now, but if i were to lay money on it, i'd obviously wait to see how the new tegra2 androids perform before deciding anything.

tmo g2

i thought i posted in this thread... guess it got lost :)

my n1 is sitting in it's box. i bought 2 g2's off craigslist here locally. first one for the wife, then one for me. it's much faster than my n1 was. gps works, flawlessly. wifi reception is better. 3g/hspa+ reception is awesome. i haven't been on the fringe of cellular connectivity yet, but it's much better in my one weeks worth of use.

batter = 20 hours or so from a full charge, heavy use. stock battery.

light use = a couple of days.

physical keyboard = the awesome

i'm running cyanogenmod 6.1.1 (stable) and it's very very fast. i'll sell my n1 sometime. i loved the phone, but the physical keyboard of the G2 and reception issues of the n1 sunk it.

:)
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
Naw no hate at all rsm86 :)

I personally LOVE the iPhone and how it pushes the whole industry further ahead every year and how other phone manufacturers come out with amazing Android phones in an attempt to sway people from iOS. The more competition the better it is for us. It's also an absolutely beautiful device :o

The things that make Android better for me than iOS is:

- I like what Google does to give us free toys (Google Voice, Google Maps Navigation, Tethering, etc) that really help us out in everyday life and save us money

- I like the fact that you have options to pick a phone that has a bigger screen than 3.5 inches

- I like how Google made Android available to every carrier instead of being greedy & locking people to 1 carrier

- I like how I can pay $40/mo for voice and unlimited data instead of iPhones $65/mo for voice and 2GB of data
[Nexus One General] mmague:
I guess you made your point well. The iPhone is flawless on certain aspects, but I will stick with Android. I guess ill get her the iPhone so u can play with it. Thanks for the feedback!
[Nexus One General] mrcrassic:
Trading up for a Vibrant on Monday :)
[Nexus One General] tameracingdriver:
I did do that exact trade - it cost me a fair bit as well (but then I did give my N1 to my girlfriend to replace her HTC Magic)... and I agree with all the points you made in the later post.

Nothing is perfect, but as an overall compromise I feel the iphone 4 is the best there is... as you say, its a lot more responsive, and for me, it has been more reliable than any of the android handsets i've had.. and those games!
[Nexus One General] L0rDKadaj:
A Nexus S. Nexus S is undoubtly the second flagship phone from Google. As long as the phone is nice to develop on...

Or something better than a Nexus S.
[Nexus One General] peliROJO:
I woke up this morning thinking the same thing. Turned to this thread and you beat me to it. But I don't want AT&T. That's what kills it for me.
[Nexus One General] rsm86:
I've been looking around and Apple Canada (www.apple.com/ca) sells them factory unlocked for any carrier (quad band both GSM and 3g) at $660 (plus tax)

They don't, however, ship internationally, so you would have to find a way of shipping it to somewhere in Canada and then importing it.
[Nexus One General] lsxrx7:
motorola atrix looks awesome
[Nexus One General] MitchRapp:
Only reasons I would switch my Nexus One are:

1) Lost/Stolen phone

2) Broke it

3) New Google Experience phone comes out with specs I want...

Specs I would need:

- Dual Core

- 1GB Ram

- A lot of internal memory (8-32gb)

- MicroSD Slot (lol... Nexus S?) - Also, stop putting it under the battery!! Make it hot-swappable

- 5+ Mpx Camera, Dual flash would be nice - 720p/1080p video recording

- Stock Android (obviously, since this is a Google Experience Phone)

- microHDMI or DLNA or both

- BT 3.0 / Wifi N ... don't care about NFC it won't be used for another 5 years I bet

- S-AMOLED 3.5 to 3.8in screen (4.0 and up are just too big)

- 1500mah or better battery

- no physical keyboard please.

- phone material similar to Nexus One (ewww Nexus S)

Also, I always dreamed of this tech but it doesn't look like it's happening:

a tiny battery inside the phone, capable of powering your RAM for a good 10 seconds, giving you enough time to swap batteries without having to reboot your phone. Can't be THAT complicated.

Smack a price tag of 499$ and ships to Canada, and I'll take it right away.
[Nexus One General] Matterhorn:
You took the words right out of my mouth! I want the phone you just described.
[Nexus One General] Matterhorn:
I just checked out the Motorola Atrix, it looks great on paper. It's really too bad it doesn't include T-Mobile 3G frequencies. I'm so tired of this *rap, turn on all the frequencies already!
[Nexus One General] canadariot2312:
-pentaband

NFC is widely used in Japan, but that is about it. Don't really see the point of it in the US.
[Nexus One General] spielnicht:
The Atrix, Arc, Inspire and Infuse all have great features that pretty much make the Nexus S look weak. So far, the Atrix is at the top of my list of what I'll trade my N1 once it becomes available.

I was all anal about having the pure Google phone last year, but frankly, I don't think I would have missed out on much, considering a root and custom ROM take care of the job.
[Nexus One General] SoberGuy:
Which is the major concern most of us have about the Atrix. Moto has completely locked bootloaders, so no custom ROMs. Sure, root is great. All I've done on my N1 is root. I've never flashed a custom ROM to it. But with Blur...I might want to flash something custom, and no one is sure if we'll be able to.

[Nexus One General] d.cortez:
ditto. it will be with me for ever. heck, i have a Motorola MPx200, running WM 6.1 for Smartphones that i still use from time to time. i had a desire and my N1 and recently sold my desire. N1 is a classic for me... i've purchased and returned 2 other android devices, but always go back to the N1. i'll take advantage of wifey's "special-deep" discount when the atrix or inspire is available. N1 will still be with me, tho...
[Nexus One General] Dirk:
Forgot to mention that my dream phone would have a pure diamond screen...but i'd settle for Gorilla Glass :)

It would be nice to own a phone that i have enough confidence in to not need a screen protector. As it is i think i would cry if i had even the smallest scratch on my actual screen.
[Nexus One General] gottessohn:
I would most probably trade my N1 for:

-Tegra 2

-4.3/4.5 AMOLED at least

-8 MP cam dual cam 1.3 front

-1/2 GB internal ROM

-1/1.5GB RAM

-micro SDHC slot

and I'm quite looking forward to this:

http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/12/samsung-mobile-boss-confirms-galaxy-s-successor-galaxy-tab-road/

Samsung Mobile boss confirms Galaxy S successor, Galaxy Tab roadmap being announced next month

Far be it from Samsung to announce an extremely high-end US-only smartphone -- the Infuse 4G for AT&T, pictured above -- without a global equivalent, and it's starting to look like we'll get that equivalent in just a few weeks' time. JK Shin, president of Samsung Mobile, has now gone on record saying that we'll get a new Galaxy S device at Mobile World Congress in February that'll feature Gingerbread, a dual-core processor (whether that's Tegra 2, Orion, or something else entirely, we're not sure), and the Super AMOLED Plus technology that debuted at CES last week. Shin's also saying that we'll get a peek at Sammy's plans for the Galaxy Tab line for 2011, which we're guessing will include that lovely 7-inch Super AMOLED display that's been kicking around. Should be an exciting show, to say the least.
[Nexus One General] canadariot2312:
+1 on that.

I want carbon fiber just because.
[Nexus One General] Das_mobile:
I have T-Mobile now, got the Nexus One last year this time, its really starting to wear down, touch is off. Ordered it a new battery lets hope that helps.

I really would like to stay with them but the HTC thunderbolt at Verizon is so tempting. Lets hope T-Mobile has something like it in the works, otherwise I may part.. :(
[Nexus One General] needmoregigs:
I would trade my tmobile N1 for a MyTouch 4G. I bought it for my girl and have been seriously considering it. It's very similar to the N1 but has a ffc. I use the yahoo video chat app and that works well with the phone.

I know it doesn't have stock android, but mysense and stock apps are not an annoyance. I also don't care if tmobile is slow to update the phone, 2.2.1 is serving me well. I am just sick of the hardware quirks of the N1.
[Nexus One General] MitchRapp:
Basically ^_^[/QUOTE]

glad to see 4 people agreeing with me on what the next "Nexus One" phone should be like!

the Nexus S is a true failure ... I mean, if you're in love with your Nexus One, you see the Nexus S as the most terrible replacement ever...
[Nexus One General] cr0wnest:
Nexus S probably.
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
I'm in love with my Nexus One but am much more in love with my Nexus S. When I play with my N1 every few dates to install updates I can't believe how much more I like the NS. It truly is a great phone (as the N1 was too).

When I bought the N1 it was by far the best phone I've ever owned. I had the same feeling when bought the NS.
[Nexus One General] thephoneguyusa:
I was just searching craigslist looking for trade possibilities but I found nothing to my likings.. I think I will just ride my nexus one till it is no more!

Then go with a Nexus S or another N1.
[Nexus One General] Kiserai:
Carbon fiber would be a total fail. It would kill your reception since it basically eats radio waves. Hence, why stealth aircraft are wrapped in the stuff.

Now, Kevlar, on the other hand...

Sent from my N1 using magic powers.
[Nexus One General] scottb75:
I'd trade mine for a Nexus S just for the Super Amoled display because using my N1 outdoors in sunlight is a real pain. Also the bigger display on the NS would be a bonus because I find the N1 screen a hair too small specially when typing/swyping.
[Nexus One General] kolyan:

[Nexus One General] arastamon:
My nexus is my baby, but i would trade it for a half an ounce of gold :D
[Nexus One General] asidhowz:
all of the above,

will prob stick with the nexus one and if a Nexus 3 was to come out i've always wanted a phone with a proper line input, that with the Dualcore Processor it'd be great to record direct to the phone when out doing gigs, the horsepower is there!! would be amazing, and utilising the usb there could be some great midi apps written that you could use on the go with a mini midi controler to make music etc.. but record input would be wicked :D similar build quality of the nexus one with a 4 inch screen, .. hope HTC make it..
[Nexus One General] flappjaxxx:
I would trade mine for maybe a slightly newer nexus one.
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
The only thing that is currently looking interesting is that rumored HTC Pyramid. I wont ever get anything from Samsung since they have so easily shown that they have still not learned from the behold 2!
[Nexus One General] DigitaL BlisS:
Same here. Well, it should be arriving in the mail any day now (just ordered it :D). I recently broke my Nexus One (yes, I need anger management) so figured I'd give the iPhone 4 a shot for a bit, then sell it, and get the next thing since sliced Nexus goodness. My reason for going with the iPhone, originally, was to sell it and get a Nexus S, but not sure if I want a plastic device, especially with my phone dropping habbits. Also, the Nexus One's touch screen was starting to get to me as well. I know the Nexus S is a solution to this... but Samsung and their plasticyness... :(

On the other side of things, I'm already missing loading up ROMs... then again, it's not like the S has a lot of dev support right now, and buying another N1, as much as I want to, feels like I'll be taking a step back. Honestly, if the damn touch screen was better I'd buy 2 of them and keep one as my daily driver, and one for a backup since they're not sold by Google anymore.

And, Atrix = locked bootloader. Inspire = no dev support yet.

If I were to get a MyTouch 4G or a Desire Z or any other decent Android device, I'll be shooting myself in the foot re-sale wise for when the next Nexus successor arrives. That's one thing you can't argue about the iPhone, their re-sale value is amazing. We'll see if I can bare using it, maybe I'll cave in and just buy the Nexus S and just try really hard to not drop it.

Decisions, decisions :D
[Nexus One General] celcia69:
Yeah that phone is going to be beast! I'm so excited for it! :)

The HTC Pyramid looks like it will rock big time! It's the only device I would consider replacing my N1 with as of now.
[Nexus One General] -A-P-M-:
HTC is big disappointment in MWC. I think I will buy Galaxy S2
[Nexus One General] vegetaleb:
Here are the phones on my birthday list:

-SE Arc for its style

-HTC Incredible S for its supposed ''low'' price compared to other new devices.

-Samsung Galaxy S 2 for the ''whole in 1'' pack and better support in my country.

-LG 3D for its power and 3D (but 0 support in my country)

So next steps are:

-Read their reviews by GSM Arena hopefully in the coming weeks

-Prices

-Final choice: happy birthday :D (in May)
[Nexus One General] SBS_:
After HTC's dissapointing MWC showing I'll probably end up with a Galaxy S2, as I trust samsung a tad more than LG when it comes to the overall package.

I'll just hope it will be easy to root and get new ROMs on it (or wait and see if that is the case of course :p).
[Nexus One General] Lord_Buckington:
Likewise. But there's something still stoping me from getting the S2 though in the back of my mind.
[Nexus One General] GazzaK:
I'd trade mine for a boyfriend :-)
[Nexus One General] android01:
Give me that nexus and I will make sure you get boyfriended
[Nexus One General] peadarog:
The phone I abandon my N1 for will have to have:

--an unlockable boot-loader (good-bye Moto)

--dual core (or more would be OK too!)

--DevLove (Cyanogen alone would be enough, but it was a real privilege to be able to try out other stuff over the last year, like Sense and MIUI)

--HDMI mirroring

The last one is vital. Why pay all that money just to go a little faster or a little smoother? I want new functionality too!

The Galaxy S2 has no HDMI, but is there another way it could stream to the TV? Maybe I'll have to wait for the Pyramid...
[Nexus One General] Ertavarez:
I would to trade my N1 to HTC Desire S :D
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
the first time since having my nexus one, the galaxy s2 is making me think of switching for one reason: the super amoled plus. no more pentile pixel layout. now we get the full smoothness of lcd screens in super amoled color and contrast. that is a huge enormous reason to switch.

the problem is i want to go HTC but samsung is keeping their screens to themselves, which puts me in a hard spot. i dont want to buy a samsung phone. even though that new galaxy is freaking 8mm thick, dual core, huge battery, and amoled plus. they really did good hardware there.
[Nexus One General] gadgetgaz:
I love my N1 and I have never had a phone as long as this (13 months). There has just never been a phone better than the N1 since it was released.

Now, however, there are phones on the horizon that are likely to tempt me away.

There is one phone that I really fancy but for one problem. It is the Samsung Galaxy S2 because it has just about every technology built in that I would want (for now). There doesn't seem to be a better spech'd phone on the horizon.

The problem? It's damned size! In this modern world of miniaturisation why on earth are phones getting BIGGER?

If the Galaxy S2 was the same size (or smaller) than the N1 I would pay up to £500 for it tomorrow. As it stands however, I think I'll have to wait and see what else comes along:(
[Nexus One General] robotnoize:
An HTC phone with a front facing camera, second Gen processor and cm support.
[Nexus One General] Dirk:
Me too, as long as there was a stock ROM available for flashing. :)
[Nexus One General] vzontini:
I'd like something like a developer friendly Atrix.

-dual core

-speedy GPU

-1 GB RAM

-16 GB internal storage

-SDcard slot for more storage

-WiFi with b/g/n

-docks for use as "laptop" / "tablet" / "desktop" modes including video out (HDMI), keyboard and mouse

The docks are key as I'd like the try out pushing what can be done with a phone.

I'd also like Cisco to support Android with an AnyConnect VPN client with RSA SecurID support. I've not found anything so far on the N1 that works with my corporate VPN. There are already folks using the Apple iPad version, so some Android love would be great.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Why? It has 768m vs 512m ram and MAYBE more internal storage... Otherwise, it's the exact same hardware as the original Desire and Nexus One.
[Nexus One General] Lord_Buckington:
And if people really love their trackball/trackpad then they'll lose that too.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Except not.

It has a 2nd gen Snapdragon with the Adreno 205 GPU, same as the Desire HD.
[Nexus One General] altarity:
Left my Nexus for 1 day and I'm back

The itch was getting too strong and I my t-mobile upgrade pricing was available. I picked up a MT4g yesterday. Yeah it was fast, 4g and ffc, but it didn't have the wow factor I was looking for. I'm shipping it back to t-mobile today, and saving my upgrade for the pyramid or LG optimus 2x. I really hope the t-mobile gets one of these MWC handsets soon...

This is a true testament to how good the N1 was when it came out. I can't believe i've had the same phone for 13 months. It's just not natural...
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
The nexus one is just the perfect size, weight and feel, and best looking. I still am having a hard time replacing it. Damn.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Over a year with the Nexus One and it still feels better than anything else I've tried! But, I'll be keeping an eye out for the HTC Pyramid...
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
Yeah I bought my Nexus the day it was released, I bought it while watching the live announcement of them releasing the Nexus. I have loved it ever since, every other phone seems too big, too custom UI'd, too far behind on updates, or has crap hardware. The Pyramid is still my top choice, though the G2 is a close second, my only hopes is that the Pyramid comes to Tmobile.

coz no matter how powerful other phones are (Optimus 2X etc.)

N1 is always the one who gets update first (from Google and CM):D
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
It doesnt have to be a Dev Phone to get the updates first, I just needs to be running stock android (no custom skins). Does anyone know if the G2 will get updates as soon as they are released? I figured it would since it runs stock android.
