Insane. I've owned an iPhone, iPhone 3GS, Blackberry Pearl, T-Mobile Dash, G1 and a Behold 2 recently, and this is by far the best phone I've ever had. It is so snappy and seamless. What the hell is going on here? I can't be the only one who has been wowed by this device.

I don't take most of that seriously. Judging by the comments to those articles, many feel and argue against the main points of what the author is saying (Many of them were funny to read also). This has not changed my opinion of still wanting a Nexus One.

Well 2 of the 4 are by the same guy who is obviously biased. The other two are not too bad. Google getting sued over a book, doubtful successes in court. As far as customer support, that could be an issue, we'll see...

What happened is the Apple Kool-Aid. Put an Apple logo on the phone and they'll change their tune.

I can understand not liking the Nexus One for actual reasons (hardware keyboard)... but the reasons that many of these articles are stating is really, really reaching.

It doesn't matter what Apple does with the next iPhone because it'll be hailed as the greatest thing ever by the Apple...yadda, yadda, yadda....

I think on the whole, end users love the device, but the news organizations are dishing out a lot of hate. More so than usual. The iPhone is an old device now, the 3GS was only an incremental update. It's ok to like the iPhone, its a great phone, but this sort of blind kneejerk reaction to competition is insane. It only helps to make everything else better.

Yeah, it's quite old. The single greatest thing Apple did was make the "smartphone" (at launch it wasn't terribly smart compared to my WinMo phones) mainstream, even when the cost was high. The phone, and its OS, are dated. Period. It's now making its mark with apps, and not on the virtues of the phone (hardware, OS) itself. There will likely be another mind-numbing incremental change that could have either been integrated earlier (like BT stereo/AVRCP and a damn 3G chip) or something that will alienate the existing userbase (even stronger hardware to run games that can't be run on older hardware). But it's OK, because most Apple users are used to pitching the "old" stuff and getting the newest, or even skipping a generation.

I have 2 G1s at the house, and I got the Nexus One because I felt like the G1 didn't fairly show what the Android OS can do. I have "TheOfficial..." ROM on both of them, and it finally started running really quickly with 2.4.2 on it. I feel like the N1 with be a huge leap forward once all the RAM is opened up (kernel update) and will be completely usable in 3 years. I can still use my G1 if I wanted to, and get virtually all the functionality of the Nexus One, but the N1 does it faster and with a bit more style.

Yeah Apples, "buy our products because they're 'cool'" is mind numbing to me. I love how everyone gets excited when the iPhone can do stuff that normal phones have been able to do for years, like picture messaging, oh man. I think I could do that a good year or 2 before the first iPhone even came out. Also funny are the new commercials showing someone "talking on the phone" while doing other tasks, except they have to put the call on hold, oops, and by then ATT's network probably already dropped the call. Oh well, it's other peoples money, not mine.

except they have to put the call on hold, oops,


Are you serious? Wow I was completely misguided, by those commercials and have never owning a iPhone - I believed you could open another app, or browse the internet, while on a call. Lying commercials >.>

They are against anything iphone.

They write articles at about the 3rd grade level, for 3rd graders that own iphones.

It's nothing new that pcworld only loves them some 4 year old technology and crippled phones :mrgreen:

Innovations like MMS.... and cut and paste...and running things in the background!

You'd almost think that Apple was doing this on purpose.

Can't wait for the next "innovation": Being able to talk and browse the web at the same time. The same innovation T-Mobile and Verizon already have.
