README: Please note, I am not making a full decision on what this device is like as i’ve not had the opportunity in playing about with it. Once I do, I will share my thoughts properly. This video is entirely based on the technical spec sheet which was released to the media today. In addition to this, the iPhone 4G is due out in June/July 2010 (as per their annual update), so it would be interesting to see how the Google Nexis One compares to the upcoming 4G. The Droid came and went …

I barely even use half of the 16gb I have on the iPhone as it is and why in the world would I need a removable battery? I use my iPhone moderate to heavy each and every day, battery is at 35-50% at night.
Maybe I missed it but why didn’t Apple do what?
I FEEL ASLEEP WATCHING THIS VIDEO.
I think this is a good thing for Google.. I’ve had the G1 and upgraded to a mytouch recently and now am angry cause they came out with this.. Not just cause its an android.. but this time it’s REALLY and Android.. No one making the rules for the phone.. Their own phone.. I mean I love the Iphone to death, but damn! why didn’t Apple do this too? Smart move for google.
Not sure why Google is charging a ETF in addition to carrier ETF …. though this won’t be an issue if you’re happy with your service. Still, a little bothersome. Nexus One’s features hands down beat iPhone, but I think iPhone just has more polish in the end. I like the feel of the iPhone OS and I really don’t like TMobile either. AT&T isn’t the best but…
wow, you’re all wrong. bad UI? seriously. the phone that revolutionized smart phones, has a bad ui? And in case you’ve not used or seen a nexus one, there’s just a bunch of icons too. Windows Mobile was a terrible, terrible, os. Shouldn’t really be dissing a phone that most of the nexus one’s features are borrowed from. Even the box it comes in is copied. Probably a shot @ Apple.
i like iphone but i don’t like at&t, so i will not be getting an iphone. Nexus one seems ideal for me
@KCgonewild i would never buy an iphone as long as there is no customizable home screen. iI hate having to look at different small buttons to find out if i have mail, new calls etc. I want to see appointments together with current time and date, weather, battery power, phone state etc on one screen, like with mobile shell on winmo. iphone rules only because of its apps. the ui is bad and only consisting of more or less randomly placed buttons. my next phone wil be android.
I think this review was quite good, it gave a different angle to the nexus one and who they are aiming this at. I personally have an Iphone 3gs that is jail broken, I also had an Iphone 3g. I can’t see anything that would move me away from the iphone at the moment. I was expecting more from the “google phone”, but I have been disappointed. The only good thing I can see is the removable battery and memory which is positive, but I wouldn’t move across to a HTC phone any time soon.
@kurupt158 Nexus One has Multitouch FYI
every phone that comes out will always be 2 steps behind the iphone. im more than sure that apple will come out with another i phone better than the google nexus or any other phone. i phone was the seed of touch screen phones. when other developers are figuring out how to attack the iphone apple already has a counter attack. just look, when the 1st iphone came out all these other phones came out n what did apple do just upgraded the i phone to 3g n problem solved. but of course there is hatters.
iphone owns
you should get tooble, its realy good, and were do u get that background from thats on your macs?
Nexus One DOES support multi-touch. But the out-of-the-box apps do not… for legal reasons. I’m sure most 3rd-party apps will support multi-touch.
still not enough to make me switch from my current phone. maybe i’ll consider getting one when the third generation of this phone comes out.
Here is the problem with that kind of reasoning
as long as the iphone is with AT&T those kind of specs wont mean anything because teir network won’t be able to handle 4G concepts. It can barely handle 3GS concepts and speed.
I am an Iphone 3GS user and AT&T is a big draw back on what this phone can really do. If you were to speed up the iphone with similar specs to the google pone AT&T would crash over night.
get those facts together man.
I have an iphone and the nexus one although you have to pay for 32gb memory card is altogether a lot cheeper to use with so much more than any iphone currently on the market.
Both of these phones max out at 32gb. lets see what apple has in store for this year iphone wise
@TechTechManTV the iphone is max 32 GB, lol at the 64GB..
Here are the “Wow” specs for the Nexus
1Ghz processor vs 600Mhz of the Iphone
Removable Battery
3.7″ screen vs 3.5″ of the Iphone
2 Mic Noice cancellation front and back
Up to 32G sd card
5MP camera vs 3MP on Iphone
Camera can zoom and flash
720×480 video record vs 640×480
customizable home screens with widgets
Iphone “wow” spec
Multi touch
Unlimited screens vs 5 home screens
100k apps vs android 16k apps
i think the big “wow” that you are looking for and would def sway me into buying the google phone vs the iphone is the removable battery and memory! that is something that apple has yet to show…
I think your wrong about the price in which Google are selling this. Clearly you haven’t seen the true specs, iPhone 3Gs 600Mhz processor with 256mb of RAM. Nexus 1Ghz with 512Mb… It’s almost a netbook in that tiny thing…
Compromising on the camera still (only 3.2MP), the iPhone 4G concept could have a camera on the front for iChat and house a removable battery and 32GB capacity is it an iPhone in the making or a MacBook? Its got Jesus Diaz thinking too, perhaps a reason he puts it as a MacBook in a Phone
There is no stopping the iPhone cult, perhaps the biggest ever in handsets or even electronics for an extension. After the iPhone 3G, its coming of the iPhone 4G, which if is anything like whats revealed as a concept image, could be a revelation we havent even guessed in the wildest of our fantasy. The concept is delivered in a titanium and glass finish, backed by an OLED screen, with 3G and GPS.

Google have that advantage in that they own some of the biggest and powerful mediums at present. They are thus able to market their products appropriately, hence gain market share slightly quicker than other competitors. Its important for google to have a good software dev team to create a robust android platform at this stage.
