HTC (verizon) Incredible has proper multi-touch (unlike desire/nexus)

just thought some of you might wanna know,
apparently the HTC incredible is fitted with a brand new (late 2009) maXTouch sensor with unlimited touch support,
vs the Nexus one/desire old synaptic cleartouch 2000 (inaccurate "dualtouch" implementation).
www .engadget.com/2010/04/26/confirmed-droid-incredibles-multitouch-support-is-better-than/
(cant post links so fill in the blank after www)
it kinda feels like the nexus one we bought is getting phased out real quick,
what makes it difficult is its all in the hardware side
no wonder verizon dropped the nexus-one, who would get one vs an internal 8gb, proper multi-touch, 8mp camera upgraded phone ?
im willing to bet it wont have any 3G issues either..
if only incredible wasnt so damn ugly, here's hoping for a Super AMOLED EVO ( im having doubts about its TFT screen )

all this is sh*t the hd2 has the same screen as nexus one and it can track the fingures right it is all driver issue look at this videos ,and who said that nexus one has the clearpad 2000

Will the later batches of the Nexus One use this new MaxTouch sensor? I will be disappointed if they do because that would mean that I paid the same price for an inferior device.

Its not ****. This is real. We have old touch screen that only handles 2 touch points. The new one is unlimited.

i guess the incredible has got a significant advantage over our nexus in terms of hardware...but on the upside, i think the nexus is more developer friendlier (roms, kernel, undervolting, overclocking, modding) n i think this is a major advantage over any htc sense android phones on the market...

how exactly do you know the HD2 packs the same touchscreen as the nexus one?
also i have not seen any definite proof of HD2 not having a clearpad 2000 (ala non X/Y confusing dualtouch)

10 points.

hmmmm,
I thought read that the HD2 DID have the same clearpad2000 touchpad. I dont have proof so i might be mistaken...But honestly what i believe is that by the time the android market really Catches up to apple and gets out the games that reequire REAL multi-touch, our nexus ones will already be replaced with the nexus 2 or another better phone, which will also include the newer touchpanel...
(Please dont yell at me about the market "catching up" Its only my opinon)

the nexus one problem is it cannot track the two fingers when they are close togeather but in the video hd2 could do that so nexus one has driver issues , i can use more than two points of contact on playstation emulators and on supermario game using emulator , so what does this all means (hd2 usesbetter screen technology ,also the matrix form on hd2 screen and nexus one screen are the same or it is just driver issue on nexus one and desire)

Either way theyre both android, so more power to these phones...
I still wouldnt trade my Nexus for it though, and to add to what the previous posters have to say about the Nexus. I also think the Nexus still looks sexier!

Who would want to get a N1? Someone who cares about customization?

I second that. For people who give a rat's a$$, it's all about nit-picking and d***-measuring now when comparing N1 with Incredible. Stupid fan boys! If you buy a new phone, be happy with what you have, get to REALLY know it through customizations, learn to use your new hardware to its fullest, and try not to dump it so soon like used condoms! There are just too many spoiled f*****s with short attention spans that when they discover something new like the Incredible (or EVO, or iPhone 4G, or Windows Mobile 7 Phone), they think their newly acquired Nexus is now CRAP! There's still a LOT of mileage on that new N1 you got there. Use it and be happy! You will NEVER be on top of the "obsolescene" game so don't even try it. You may even save some money to get laid with! Remember people! It's just a freakin' phone!

i appreciate endgadget hating on the n1. maybe google will wake up and address the n1's issues.

I also read that even though the incredible has 8gb of internal storage, You still wont be able to store apps there. Dunno the reasoning behind that.

Whats funny is that I currently don't have a smartphone. I have a nice samsung "sgh-t639" (shout out) and my contract is up with t-mobile in 42 days. I have looked at these others phones like the HD2, Desire, iPhone 4G, Incredible (etc) and I still believe that the Nexus One is a better phone and a better buy (180 with 2 year contract). I do believe the EVO is the best phone out there (or coming) but the price tag and the ugly sprint logo on the phone is something I don't want to mess with. Sorry to those of you that actually like logo's on phones, my current one does but its tiny.
Final thought, i'm also in love with the fact at how quickly google is keeping up all the nexus one demands. Fast-enough over the air updates, accessories (car dock, desktop dock) and more. I can actually see myself using the nexus one in 1 1/2 years and still feeling good about myself. I guess i'm more appreciative than others? idk..
p.s. i'm ordering the desktop dock this week from google, can't wait =)

Why Nexus One Was Leapfrogged by HTC Incredible and Evo 4G

Google Exec Hints at Why Nexus One Was Leapfrogged by HTC Incredible, Evo 4G
http://googlewatch.eweek.com/content/android_vs_iphone/google_exec_hints_at_why_nexus_one_was_leapfrogged_by_htc_incredible_evo_4g.html
"Nexus One isn't a failure so much as a casualty of the success of the next wave of Android smartphones. In a few months, I'm sure we'll be saying the same things about the Incredible and the Evo 4G."
Some people may be bothered with this, but I am happy with my Nexus One. I have no buyers remorse.

I don't view my N1 as obsolete in any way at all and am quite happy with it, it's no worse than the Incredible and all aspects of the device ooze performance

phones are starting to become like computers now. as soon as you buy one a new and better one comes out tomorrow.
and what sucks about is...you're suck with a 2 year contract.

So adding two features equals "leapfrogged" now?
What a load of crap. Who has FroYo now? Yeah, that's what I thought.

I always f*cking hate these posts. I really don't want to hear doom and gloom.

Definitely don't feel any remorse.
My phone is JUST as good as the ones that are coming out NOW.
Yea, 8MP cam + dual flash, but cmon, the pictures are hardly better.
Plus the nexus LOOKS better than both of those.

SERIOUSLY, people are rediculous....... I stayed with DDR400 until DDR32000 came out because it was a serious step up...... There is nothing that screams "OH MY GOD INNOVATION" about either phone..... My next phone will be when my Nexus no longer has the NAND capacity for the current Android version. I love my Nexus

i'm with mortzz on this one. we have a phone that we can do whatever we want to do to it. i'd MUCH rather have this. i'm on the fence about the evo, but until we can get real system access (yeah, i saw the root article, but i'll believe it when i see it), custom ROM's, etc, i'll stick with the N1. which, btw, is STILL the sexiest phone i've ever seen. girl i'm seeing has the incredible, and...no thanks. not in comparison. it's a nice phone, if you have to have verizon. but, i don't
i do however have to get a sprint device. so...i may have to break contract with tmo and get the evo. otherwise, my school is going to stick me with the freaking touch pro 2 as my pager. lord what a step back that will be. but, at least if i take that, i can keep my N1

Uh. What?
Incredible and Evo won't get FroYo until the end of this year.
How about we come back to this article then so we can point and laugh?

Having root >>>> anything else.
Have any high-end phones since the Nexus achieved full root? I mean cracked bootloader and all. Desire, Legend, new Droids - none have the kind of access we do. Heck, we may have the best fully root-able hardware HTC will ever release.

I dont think the Incredible is any better than the N1, i've played witht he incredible and it feels cheap plastic like and the camera sucks as well. I like the feel of the N1 and like the looks of it. The Evo is a whole different story...

They have "root" meaning they have su permissions. AFAIK they don't have write permissions to the partitions, so it's pretty worthless.

Only thing i regret about my Nexus One is that apparently the Desire and Incredible both have touchscreens that fixed the multitouch issues.
Other than that the idea of having basically a google developement phone surpasses any of the other current phones, maybe when we see a decent hardware upgrade, then it will be a different story, but hopefully Google continues to make new Nexus phones.

That is sad. So they have the same MT issue as us, a much smaller dev front, usb-bricking issues while flashing roms, no full solution for being rooted/unlocked...took htc ages to release the kernel...they won't see froyo for ages (officially).

How many points does a Galaxy register again? I'm guessing more than 2

In the UK, the N1/Desire is still the King. Desire = UK incredible, but is LITERALLY an N1, and I doubt we will ever see the Evo here [not even a whisp of 4g network].
Even if they did, all the incredible has is the less buggy touch matrix, although this has been nicely 'fixed' in froyo. The evo is a different breed of phone, id never buy it purely based on the fact that i like thinks to fit in my pocket xD
Until I see a snapgradon 1.3+, 1GB RAM, a TRUE 8mp+ cam, froyo, new gen OLED/better, my N1 can sleep with my girl any day.

that makes two of us i love man I LOVE MY NEXUS ONE

the video is @ livestream.com/disrupt/video?clipId=pla_cfa02640-01dd-4ac5-bba9-a2a2b0feee24

haha my friend was a tad jealous of me. he has the Hero and i like his sense ui. but the minute froyo came out, i installed it. i showed him how i can play hulu, i showed him that i got live wallpapers (of course he doesn't have 2.1) and the rest of the froyo goodness. and outta jealousy, he was like "oh well im gonna get a phone thats better than that. im give to get the Evo 4G that has everything the nexus one has and more, including Android 2.2" and i was like "riiiiight. just like the hero was supposed to (officially) get 2.1 right?" and he stood quiet lol idk about all of you guys but i don't really care for 2 led lights. im good with just one. as for 4G, i like to have the freedom to switch between my N1, my BB Curve 8310, and my iPhone 3GS with the simple swap of a SIM card so im great with my Sexy Nexy

Cars? Yes. I have owned almost 20 different vehicles in the last ten years.
Clothes? No. I still have some clothes that were "cool" in the 90's.

I've been saying those other phones dont come close for a while. The Captivate is garbage with it's broken GPS and laggy file sytem and Samsungs poor support. I returned mine after 2 weeks. The Inspire is nice but it's an old design with god awfull battery life. The Atrix is the best phone you can buy right now.

Oh dont get me started about the last 6 months. Add in the Aria, iphone 4, HD2 modified to run anything, blackberrys and a host of others.
im stil wandering around with all 3 devices in my bag. Inspire has Sense which is the best email and contacts software. Captivate.. I love the screen and the camera and video and audio apps are fantastic. Atrix becuase its a generation ahead of those 2 devices and has the best battery life. Im going crazy from it. Dont get me started on what I am going to do when that 4.5 inch screen Samsung hits.
One thing I like about the Atrix is that I CANNOT change the ROM. saves me HOURS of wasted time and allows me to go to sleep before 3am. I am a device and ROM junkie.

The atrix look promising BUT The dock (ALL of them) require a Tether plan, soo that the fisrt thing to change. There is no ROM or bootloader aviable yet. I'm very interested on it for the same features you mention. The GPS is the best GPS that I have tested. I have a Nexus One, soo i'm in doubt.

I came to the Atrix from a rooted, modded, changed, altered Nexus One No regrets here. Honestly, I flashed a lot of ROMs with my N1 and if I never get to flash a full, true ROM with this phone, I don't care. I like it so much more than my Nexus. The screen (I can see the Atrix in the sunlight!), the size of the screen, the speed, touch sensitivity, etc. Plus I live in a strong AT&T area and do not have problems like some do.
I would like HSUPA enabled, but from what is floating around here, AT&T is supposed to be "turning on" HSUPA at some point.

Nexus One, with broken camera. New phone option.

Hi!
My Nexus One has a broken camera, and i was thinking on moving on to a new phone. I love my Nexus One to pieces, and are very unsure on wich phone to get next. The phone i've been looking at is
LG Optimus X2
Nexus S
Experia Arc
I can't decide wich one to get :/, or maybe I should wait. Is there anthing to wait for?
If someone could shed some light on this subject, and even help me to decide on wich phone to go for, I would greatly apriciate it.

Nexus s is outdated. Arc you still have to wait. G2x is up for pre order right now. Go do it lol
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

Arc is available in Norway. G2X is not :/ I will rule out Nexus S then.

And I will get the phone for free, so the price doesnt matter.
The LG Optimus 2x, seems like a power hog. Dual core is nice and all, but is there really any use for it now?
Arc looks nice, mut the timescape **** looks crap, and the phone itself feels like a plastic toy.
Nexus S, I got no use for a NFC chip in Norway, but the stock android is very nice, and the phone looks might sexy.

If you are ok with paying full price for a phone I would say try to get a g2x or OX2 if you can... dual core phones are getting better battery life with better performance so yes they are worth it. Not only that but if you enjoy a game or two, nvidia is working hand in hand with game devs to make their apps buttery smooth on the tegra2 chips which is a VERY good thing for consumers, devs and hardware producers (nvidia)... everybody wins when everybody starts working together for seamlessness...
call me a fan boy if you want but I am boarding the tegra2 boat because I think nvidia has a good thing going in how they are promoting their hardware as well as how it is performing in the new phones. I think this is the right direction to start taking things because it truly is hard when devs have to produce software for 3 or 4 different SoC's rather than 1 (ideally such as the iphone) or 2 (more like the amd/intel and ati/nvidia battles)... Even in the pc world, nvidia typically works very closely with big game titles to make sure their new products work well together...
fact of the matter is, once the barrier between the O2x and the G2x gets broken, i see a lot of development for these two phones and a bright next 12 or so months...

Aww. Apparently the company has already ordered a Nexus S to me, and it's getting delivered today. I could return it and wait for a O2x to be delivered, but that is some afterwork. Are the diffrences really that huge between Nexus S and O2x?

Nexus S is still a really solid phone, you will get updates directly from google when available, Hummingbird CPU isn't slow against a dual core CPU, 16GB of storage is nice, etc.

"BY next year" which means before?

Hi all,
I myself love my Nexus one but i think my next option looks like the HTC Sensation. Loving the new Sense UI too!

IDK. Move on from my N1

I don't know if i should move on from my N1.
I had mine since the released date. I loved having this phone. I love how much dev it received. I love the form factor, size and performance. I don't know what more i need from my smartphone. However, its been almost two years now and want a new phone. Maybe I am having rom-flash withdrawal since there is no more CM nightly. My phone has been running like a champ. I have no dent, scratch and no hardware malfunction, other then multi-touch screen problem all N1 users have. I don't know if i need a bigger screen phone. I don't know if i want it any bigger.
Are your N1 still holding up? Are you still happy with it? I like to upgrade but it feels like a waste right now. What do you guys think? Maybe I should wait until ICS is available for N1. At least an official CM9 nightly.

My N1 is holding up like a champ. After having not updated the theme/icons/wallpaper, etc, for awhile, I started to get the "I need a new phone" thoughts...but since changing all of that and making things look more like ICS, I kind of feel like I have a new phone.
I dunno. I love my N1, despite all of its quirks. IMO there are few phones with the size and form factor on par or better than the N1's. The N1 is supported so well, it kind of seems like a waste to upgrade to better phone. I mean, most of the things the newer phones can do, the N1 can be hacked to do and perform it almost if not just as well.
I say wait. That's what I'm going to try to do. I have a AT&T N1 and am switching over to T-Mobile tomorrow. Unless I can get some 1900 mhz love from T-Mobile with the addition of the new band, I will be stuck on Edge which will be pretty brutal. I have a T-Mobile Moto Milestone but I don't want to pull that thing out because I love my N1 just so much...
Also, I cannot live without the trackball. I just can't. It is too awesome.

I also have an AT&T N1 and was thinking of switching to TMo, have you heard which markets they were using the 1900mhz in?
I was also thinking of getting the Galaxy Nexus, hopefully on someone beside Verizon.

I have also had N1 from release. I was getting bored, but I just recently installed one of the ICS builds. Very nice!

im feeling almost the same way, but I've only had this phone for about 6 months now... I bought it used on ebay.
Don't get me wrong, I love it.

Yeah it shame to let it go. I don't wanna. With devs here in xda, I feel like my N1 could live forever.
With all these new tech, Im just jealous and want to get it. But 600 dollar is alot to fork over. I have a special reserve just for tech but every time I think of pulling the trigger my N1 screams why. It still runs smooth, flawless and just the right size, it feels. Maybe new case will change my mind. Lol. I just can't wait for CM9 or ICS.

I think i'll keep mine until the next Nexus phone...
Other than the internal storage and touchscreen issues, it's still really a great phone.
The upgrades are not very compelling... The only reason to upgrade sooner was if it developed some fault and i can't be bothered to fix it.

I have not. My AT&T plan resets tomorrow, I believe, so today is kind of D-Day for my AT&T plan. I plan to port my number to Google Voice today and then renew my T-Mobile plan (I tried it out in November for one month).
There is a forum on HoFo where people have been reporting getting the new band. The here is the link for the forum: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1748317-Post-here-if-you-have-noticed-1900MHz-3G-on-an-iPhone-or-other-device
I was looking at the Galaxy Nexus too, especially because it was on sale on DailySteals the other day for $565 I believe. But...meh. Technology will only get better and better, and with the support here on XDA for the N1, I believe there is really nothing that the N1 won't be able to accomplish.

I'm holding out for the 32GB GSM Galaxy Nexus. I'm hoping T-Mobile will eventually offer it under contract so I can use my upgrade subsidy--I re-upped a 2-year family plan back in May so my wife could upgrade from a G1 to a G2X. The biggest downsides to the GN for me are the lack of a microSD card slot and a trackball. The first is nearly inexcusable. The second is unfortunately the new standard.
Though there aren't official CM nighties, there are some nice KANG builds out there that are pretty much the same thing--just gathering up the changes since the #253 official build. I'm using temasek's build, available here. The newest builds have been very stable.

My thoughts too.

lol, I feel like I walked into an N1 support group...
I was pretty confident I was going to upgrade to the GN, because I can get full subsidies from my carrier, but I need to pay it all upfront (I'll be buying it independently). When I thought about it some more, the GN isn't enough of a jump.
I mean, I've been with the N1 since it's launch, and it's served me so well. Yes, we all have that stupid synaptics touch screen, the terrible lack of internal storage and a camera I simply don't like using because of the quality. I personally would've liked the look of the N1 better without the trackball, but I can't say it hasn't been super useful. I think without the trackball though (and perhaps some less bland colors) it could've easily been the prettiest phone I've ever seen.
Everyone around here have either iPhones or Galaxies (1, 2). I gotta say, Samsung is only getting better in their design (even with the plastics). And their screens are a big win.
But for me, I'm waiting it out with my N1. I'm even considering keeping it on Gingerbread from now on, so that my upgrade will be a real experience. I think it's incredible to think that keeping my N1 on GB will really define the N1 as "legacy". Two years and it's still holding its own against the biggest and baddest phones out there.
When quad cores start pouring, I'll be taking another look. But atm I'm happy to be at the end of the cycle where my phone is becoming legacy and soon I will move on to the next cycle - Quad core, 720p, hardware-button-less, ICS and all those goodies...

HI MY NAME IS STEVE AND I AM ADDICTED TO MY NEXUS ONE. LOL.

i heart my N1 too much
I've also had my N1 since release and I honestly having a heard time finding a phone i'd rather be using. especially now that am running ICS on it.
i love the support this phone gets and probably will keep using it even after i get a new phone.
but i highly doubt i could ever really replace it.

hi
I used my nexus one for a year and a half. I bought a nexus S for cheap a few weeks ago (I wouldn't have bought this POS for full retail price, got it for U$270 off contract), but I'm really having a hard time letting go of my "old" N1.
I really, really miss the trackball notifications and the feel of the phone. I tried to explain it to my friends, but they didn't get it. They like the way samsung phones feel ("very light! awesome!"), but I don't. I like how HTC phones feel, sturdy and heavy.
Things I REALLY miss:
- trackball
- trackball colour notifications
- how the N1 feels
- battery life
- contactless desktop dock
- non-buggy ROMs!
Things I like on the NS:
- application storage space is 1GB! awesome!
- screen is better, multitouch is not buggy
- I thought i would miss the SD card, but I don't
Things I REALLY DISLIKE on the NS:
- buggy back button, presses itself or gets stuck.
- battery life sucks
- phone is stupid.
Things I couldn't care less for in the NS:
- NFC
- contour display
- front facing camera
long story short, I'm going back to my N1 and selling this piece of crap NS, maybe i can get some more money out of it.

I was thinking about picking up a Nexus S. Since ICS was released I was tempted. I also found some under 300. Glad I didn't.

I bought a brand new Nexus One last month. After hours of browsing on the internet looking at as many phones as possible, the N1 just stood out for some reason. And since owning it I haven't regretted my decision one bit.
In fact, my 82 year old Grandad has just bought one (over the iPhone too)!!
One thing that has actually amazed me about the N1, is that it can get a GPS lock in under 10 seconds when I'm indoors. Less than 5 when I'm outside. The first time I did it indoors my mind almost exploded. My old HTC Legend took ~30 seconds, and just couldn't really do it indoors. Not that being able to get GPS when I'm in my own house is of any use whatsoever, but I just thought it was epic
Never give up the N1 until something absolutely epic comes out, which, at the moment (at least IMO), there is not one phone worth forking out so much money for.

Long live the Nexus One!
I like it too. Hehe!

I like that one...
Anyone worrying about losing color notifications from the trackball - just letting you know the GNex has color notifications, the led is just hidden under the bezel (brilliant!).

Google actually listened. Prob one thing I like about GN. And also ICS, screen and ..... who am I kidding? I like the damn thing. But obviously not enough to take me away from my N1.
