Engadget Nexus One Review

Kind of ridiculous. They wished it had a keyboard. Why don't they say that about the iPhone

I think google hasn't optimized Android for the snapdragon as well as they could have. Cyanogen needs to get his godly hands on this thing ASAP and build his kernel for it. It is simply amazing at the amount of speed he got out of a G1. I can't wait to see what he does with a snapdragon

I agree. There are features that were not discussed on the phone that blows the iPhone away. Exchange syncing etc. I love the one sided view. Like I posted before, I have a 3G iPhone as well and I think iPhone is a nice thing and 4th Gen should be good but you have to compare apples to apples. When comparing apples to androids, you have issues and miss out things. People are making a big deal about multi touch. Yeah droid does not have it either. But once cyanogen gets his hand on the kernel, that will be there.

I love Apple's devices as much as the next apple fanboy but you have to give credit where credit is due. N1 is a damn good phone. They are all good phones. Period. They all have their own pros and cons. That's that.

Why wouldn't you post this in the existing Engadget review thread? Just saying...

Thank you! I'm sick of comparisons that have no value to a vast majority of customers.

A vast majority doesn't switch carriers every month. What do I care about phone for other carriers, it's such a luxury to switch carriers, most people wait for contracts to expire before switching carriers.

I'm on Tmobile. Tmobile has few android phones and the best android phones so far have gone to sprint and verizon anyway.

On top of that, the Nexus One is being subsidized. For these reasons, to tmo customers, it's a very exciting phone. What other phone is there to be excited for on tmo? None, especially in the Android category.

How much value do these reviews have for normal users on limited budgets?

The review wasn't about android vs iphone. Thats why exchange syncing was not included since its on all android phones and probably wasn't improved on the N1 so theres no point in comparing them.

The only comparison made between the iphone was the browser speed.

And i believe the review did say the N1 was an awesome phone with a few hiccups like all phones.

I think it was because the touch buttons below the screen made it so that you always accidentally touched the buttons when composing a msg using the touchscreen keyboard.

engadget's review of the N1 was a joke. they complained about the missing 48 missing pixels that the droid had over the N1. lol seriously? its not even in-depth. Wheres the bluetooth, 3G connection, video recording... etc tests? they did a browser test of their site that many have commented to be not a good test. could've tested more sites. overall, a lot of comparison to the iphone and how its not up to the hype. i'm still getting the N1.
