Default Time for a new phone.

Well my time has come for a new phone, right now i am on the mt3g. I am debating between the and the nexus one, but I am leaning towards the vibrant. So, how have you liked the vibrant? and for anyone out there that has a n1 and the vibrant, which do you like better?

Thanks for your feedback.

I struggled with making a decision but it comes down to the vibrant has a 16g of storage, plus covered under a less hassle warranty, and i love it and the battery life so far. it ran all night under wifi with virtually no battery drain, porn comes up super quick.

I have both. The N1 is having it's plug pulled... the Vibrant expects 10M sold and is incredibly fast and rooted.

Pretty easy choice! You will love it....

Thanks guys.
That's what is turning me off from the N1, is you have to jump through hoops to get it. the vibrant has awesome specs, and i can have it within minutes. anything you dont like about the phone? how does it feel? i guess i need to run to tmo today and play around with it, but i know if i do i will come home with a new toy.....that's not necessarily a bad thing...

I don't like the GPS. Takes forever to lock and is usually around 10 meters (35 feet) precision.

My G1 is always around 4 meters precision.

I used the GPS last night to show my speed while driving last night.. it locked on quick and the Speed display was spot on.... no complaints here.

With Android GPS I noticed is if you do a "cold start" (GPS is turned of and you turn it on) it takes a little longer. If you do a "warm start" (GPS is turned on but idle) it picks up a lot faster.

Definitely go with the Vibrant. Watch this video to see why:

Keep in mind that the Captivate is the same Galaxy S hardware as the Vibrant, just for AT&T.

Sold my Anna for this. You can't imagine how much lighter this thing is, how screen is better and bigger. I can't believe I am saying this.... I like touch wiz! Phone is really fast, awesome.

What I don't like? Like all phones these days, bloat! You can remove it though, and custom roms should get rid of it. Also, no camera flash, bleh.
