I doubt anyone has any actual information on this, but I'm still curious whether you believe the N1 will get an official update to Ice Cream Sandwich, or is it going to die with android 2.3.x?

I'll go get my broom...

As a general rule you should not believe any blog post with a title that ends with a question mark. I'd say 90% of the time it will not turn out to be true.

Do you have the app 'Extended Control' installed? The last update is very buggy and is causing bad battery life and broke the camera app on the N1. Check comments on the market. They are working on a fix. Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Most of the time quality is good, basically like any phone call (with wifi, never tried it with 3g). Sometimes there is a bit of a delay, specially for calls to foreign countries, but even then sound quality was good. The best thing about it is that you are not committed to anything, you can...

You need to install a sip software. The guide suggests Sipdroid, I prefer CSipSimple because Sipdroid is incompatible with 'Wifi Fixer', which is a must in order to keep wifi active on my N1. CSipSimple sort of integrates with the phone. Every time I make a call (through the normal dialer or...

Guys, I've been using real google voice wifi voip according to the setup given in this tutorial: http://gurnted.wordpress.com/guides/updated-guide-from-xda/ It's complicated to setup, but after its done it is great. Almost all my calls are over voip with wifi. I only use gsm in the rare...

Don't get cracked apps. They make your balls shrink or your boobs sag! Also never ask about cracked apps on a forum with lots of developers, you won't make many friends...

Let me start by saying I really like android and think it is the best mobile OS around. That doesn't mean it cannot improve. Since getting my N1 I've found some features are unbelievably missing: No folders for browser bookmarks. Seriously? I have almost 500 bookmarks, it's impossible to...

I have one of the home screens with 'Apps Organizer' folders which I find much easier to use than the app drawer since it is organized by app function. I even removed the launcher from the bottom of the screen since I don't need it. Functionally it is kind of like an iphone (I wasn't trying to...

If you want more opinions there's a thread about this topic in the general android software forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733651 I was also trying to decide on a player. Ultimately I chose the paid version of mixzing.

30.25GB is normal for an advertised 32G card. If I'm not mistaken it has to do with 1 GiB=2^30 bytes=1073741824 bytes while 1GB = 10^9 bytes = 1000000000. Manufacturers report on the one that will make it seem bigger (decimal) while the OS uses the other one (binary).

Ah, ok, that makes more sense. I don't know if it would help at all as I haven't tried miself, but reflected light is mostly polarized, maybe getting light sunglasses with polarized lenses would improve readability?

I would like to thank you for so many replies. I've tried many of of the suggestions, and although many of the players were really good I really wanted something with genre selection and an easy UI for when I'm driving. So I finally decided to stick with MixZing Pro which is pretty expensive but...

You are right, and I agree. My point is, in six months he might not be ready to get a new phone yet (like I know will be my case), and in that case it is better to have a N1 over the GS. That was my reasoning choosing the N1. Of course, there might be unofficial 3.0 roms available for both...
