Making the switch. Iphone to Android.

---

I figured I'd spread some positive press about the N1 seeing as how BGR and some others are bashing it.

Holy crap! somebody sensible! good read for sure. I hope to seemore articles like this one.

finally an article that doesnt say something along the lines of "X feature in Nexus is Great! But at the same time it sucks!"

But for anyone considering making the jump to Android, you need to keep one thing in mind: many of these early adopters have been using their iPhones non-stop for years. And it takes days, if not weeks, to unlearn your iPhone habits and judge Android on its own merits.

Imagine if you took a longtime Windows user and sat them in front of a Mac for a couple days. They’d probably complain about superficial things like the change in mouse acceleration and the “unintuitive” button placement (the Close button is on the opposite side of the window). It’s not until a week or two after you start using a Mac as your primary computer that you overcome these issues and begin to fully grasp some of the benefits it offers. No, it may not be for you, but there’s really no way you can tell for sure without taking the plunge and using one as your primary computer. It’s the same way with Android.

Why can't everybody be as open minded as this guy?

TechCrunch has been giving good press to the N1 sense before release, that and LifeHacker featured an article or two. It's not all negative, you just have to steer away from the fanboy sites.

Good to see a positive write up!

Its kind of annoying but from me I can tell you is that I wanted an iphone sense it was released. I now have a G1 for about a year& I did plan to buy an unlocked iphone for tmobile. But after playing around with my ipod touch vs my G1 I realised that it wasn't really fun then I started hearing about the nexus one&after reading about it&seeing it in action the iphone doesn't even exist to me. Eventhough I kinda hate my g1(feels to bulky to me now) I now plan on buying a nexus the end of the month

So yup I was a hardcore iphone fan then out popped the nexus!
(So much more you can do with it. Vs iphone)

A+ article! The first really objective stance I've seen, he can talk about some of the short comings and room for growth in android without acting superioristic.

I'll post some more links as I find them.

Awesome article. It shows and explains exactly the basis behind these garbage reviews.
