Tell us your story! How many people have seen your N1 and what was their reaction? Did they buy?
In my experience most people ask "What the F*** is that" and I just hand them the phone and tell them its the Google phone and show off some exclusive capability. About 7 people that I know have purchased the phone because they saw mine. Any similar stories?
A few co-workers flipped their iphones in favour of an n1...all it took was handing them the phone and showing them the sdk
Outside of work, a few friends made the switch from Sprint (Pre) to TMO (n1), random strangers who saw my phone sitting on a table while having a meal were quite impressed...
I can only imagine what the adoption rate would have been if Google actually marketed this device. Perhaps if they even bothered to make mention that it was available for ATT 3G, or is coming to VZW. Sometimes Google confuses me....
Everyone that saw my N1 ran out and bought a Droid for 99 bucks. <g>

you...you are fired!
My stupid friends only enjoy the Clayton Bigsby sound board and the Boobs, Butts, and Babes app. I try to show off the rest, but they are iphone dilshes and just say "mahhh i want those apps too."
Of course I always complain that I cant play Words With Friends with them.
My boss saw my N1 and bought it the day after. Some of my friends were impressed: "Wow, you've got a Nexus One".
I worked at MWC 2010 here in Barcelona and had the chance to get one. Nobody has it yet here in Spain and everyone's really impressed with stuff I show them.
I personally love the phone, I love Android (first Android phone), and want to start developing ASAP!
My N1 completely sells itself.
I think I installed a bad APK. It keeps listing itself on eBay...
lmfao ^^
haha
everybody who noticed my phone was relatively impressed. only thing that kept them back was the 1000's of apps that weren't on their iPhone but were sitll available just incase.
I got a story to tell.
Went to an Apple store the other day and pretended interest in the iPhone. Asked the first salesperson if it can multi-task yet and how fast its processor is. He got confused and asked if I meant multi-touch (...yeah) and had to google up "iphone processor" before giving up and directing me to their "iPhone expert," whom I proceeded to grill about the iPad and iPhone (can they multi-task? Play Flash in browser? Oh. No?) and they admitted that the iPad is nothing more than a giant iTouch--their words, not mine!
So I further went on to ask them about the next-gen iPhone; the "expert" asked if I already got one and I said no, then showed them my Nexus. He was astonished at how fast, smooth, pretty, and powerful it is--I showed him how many processes were running, some live wallpapers, the pinch-to-leap thing from Desire's Sense, and in the end he said that Apple likes to sit on crucial features and save them for later releases so as to charge people more.
There you go, folks. Straight from the horse's mouth.
I got my HD2 wednesday because we had a snow day
The next day at school EVERYBODY would be like "woah that's a huge fake iPhone"
that resulted in me getting it taken away by the teacher for the rest of class
What happens when you whip out your snapdragon goodness?

hahaha yeah I get asked if it's an iPhone constantly.
In my biology class this kid I didn't like asked me why I got my phone for $200 instead of an iPhone.
I told him "because I'm not a little puss like you!"
then possibly the only other android aware person in my school said "f*** you apple lover! f*** you!"
it was a great day.
although, I like people not saying "that's a brick!" every time I pull out my phone. The g1 was far too thick.
Buddy of mine saw it and started to make fun of it talking about how much better the hardware on his iphone 3gs was. The moment I finished quoting the specs...he gave me this look like his dog had died and then asked where he could get one. Told him it was on T-mobile only and showed how much faster the hspa in my area was...and he got pissed...

hahaha. yeah I just show them how thin it is, how it's rubber and metal, how gorgeous and giant the screen is and the ui.
However, one person said "that's pretty stupid, why would you want the clouds on your screen"
People seem to be impressed with the screen size - it's a monster. Never been mistaken for an iPhone, and when someone asks about the iPhone, I say, "iPhones are toys for children who needs Steve Jobs to tell them what to do. This is a phone for those who don't wish to listen to the Charlatan of Cupertino."

hahaha. I myself am a windows hater, but this phone changed my mind about winmo
First impressions always is about the large screen.
What sold me on this phone is Remote Desktop.
A few of my friends have iphones. After they have seen my HD2, the major consensus was that it was "too much of a phone" for them. Damn straight!!
Most people just ask/say to me "is that an iPhone" or just say "you got an iPhone too"
when I brought my HD2 to Cleveland Ohio in February, everyone on campus was like "ooooh shiny" then when i showed them Swype for text input they were all like "oooooooooooh waaaoooww! where can i get one?"
I said, tut tut, not until late March

LOL...the dynamic weather makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop every time I see it change and go off...oh the simple pleasures that make us happy in this world...
Just show people iwobble on that huge WVGA-screen and they'll love your phone!
A friend of mine just got the 3gs and he was like are you f^&*ing kidding me i thought i had the newest iphone i could of slapped him silly, I then showed him a few features turns out the iphone has been returned
People in class are still wasting their money on the useless old iphone, and where I live it's $538 for an iPhone 3gs 16gb with a data plan and the HD2 cost only 50-100 more. Wanna smack em and tell them theyve wasted their money
After the "Oh, cool, another iPhone"
i reply "no, no its not" as my expression hardens
I finish off my text under the desk and start surfing the internet in class, pissing off all the iPhone users sitting next to me with its speed with its speed
all 20 of em!
only one person has ever asked my "why didnt you get an Iphone"
To which i simply said "Why didn't you get aids? Same thing really".
To be fair, I was in a funny mood.
90% of people I've talked to are impressed, but know little about HTC.
Almost all of them said they like it better than Iphone..
I read the whole thread and I must say some of the posted answers are really funny!
Unfortunately, on the "serious" side of things, this poll makes you wonder..
Even though I deeply hate the iphone, I gotta give apple kudos for engineering something that has become THE standard in the cell phone market.
They managed to create something that has become so popular that everybody knows it, children and elderlies included.
Tech sites and experts use it as reference when comparing it to every new phone unleashed, even if, let's be honest about it, the iphone isn't really that much of a cell..
What's even more depressing is the fact that whenever someone takes a peek at the HD2, he/she immediately assumes that it must be the iphone or worse, like a rip-off of it, not even knowing that the hd2 kicks the iphone's ass from sea to shining sea...
Aaah Apple, congratz!! You have created a share of market that really revolves around you..

only one my friend, only one.
haha i wanted to start a thread like this but didnt want to get laughed at. ive watched so many videos on the evo that im prolly already used to it, this is gonna be the longest 2 days ever
Im doing whatever i can to keep the evo off my mind and make time fly,
today is almost over with just about 12hours to go (at the time of this post)
So all we got is a full day of thursday and im soo pulling a all nighter, if i see a UPS or a fedex truck at a sprint or radio shack store tomorrow, just know you would hear about it on the news jk lol
its good to know im not alone! i think ive read every review at least twice and watched EVERY youtube video that has anything to do with the Evo....cant wait to get my nerdy azz hands on this thing and put it through the paces. were almost there brothers!!!!!!!!!!!
At least you guys are in round 1. Im off by another week. -sigh-
Just think if Sprint had actually advertised this thing...the launch could rival the original iPhone release!

Iphone, what's an Iphone? lol
I'll put myself out on a limb here and say that everyone can relate. I personally have never pre-ordered anything nor do I first adopt anything....but ever since the evo was known as the supersonic...I have just been memorized with the device. Ive been re-watching and watching videos/reveiws about this phone for weeks now. pre-ordered the exact same day I found out That it could be pre-ordered knocking notches off my calender. I'm sure the phone will have bugs but what piece of tech doesn't?
I'm coming off of the samsung moment that is an awesome device *thanks to the sdx family* but damn I can't wait to jump ship. I can see myself holding onto this phone for more than my yearly upgrades. I mean if its not broken why replace it right?
I guess I'm lucky, currently stay at home dad. So saying i have to much time on my hands is a understatement. So, i decided to mod my kids wii on monday, and filling a hard drive today of games for it. Then my friend decides he wants his done, so doing it today also. Kids gone all day tomorrow (grandma's house), so i will have my xbox 360 to play. New maps on call of duty modern warfare 2, so that will be good. Now only if more people want me to mod there xbox or wii, i will have more money to spend on accessories.
I am fortunate to be able to be home to teach my kids and help with older kids homework. ( ages: 2,4,6,8 all girls) Not to mention teach myself how to mod different things such as phones, gaming consoles, mp3 players etc..........

i jumped from the Sansum a900 (blade) to the HTC Touch with winmo 6.0, then i found XDA, flash custom 6.1, 6.5, 6.5.x, android. After 2 or 3 years came the EVO, a good replacement for my old vogue.
I may keep it for the same 2 or 3 years , don't see why not, i don't need to have the last gadget, the only thing i need is fall in love with one.
Marketing.
What drives me crazy is Sprint marketing. Somebody should fire those idiots. We should be seeing lots of commercials about the EVO. That's what sells phones. Only we geeks know about the EVO. What Sprint does? Commercials about the network featuring Dan Hesse. He is a nice person, but those ads are boring. Who cares a bout the network? Everybody knows Sprint network is the best. What they must do is good advertising of phones, like Verizon with the Droid or ATT with Iphone. And not like that retarded ad about the Pre. What are they waiting for?

Exactly! One friend of mine has the HTC incredible, another is an apple fan boy... i cant wait to poop on them
what makes it bad is i got my case and screencover from the fedx man yesterday afternoon
No useful info in this, but just a story that me and my friend found so funny, I thought I would post it.
So my Apple fanboy friend Colin decided to go and pick up the iPhone4 today. He knows how I feel about Android, and hes also admitted that after seeing all the features of my Nexus One that he has no doubt that Android is dominant over Apples OS. But he still decided to get one, as hes one of those “I just need an iPhone cause its an iPhone “ people. No problem. So I go to T-Mobile with him to watch him seal his fate and sell his soul to Steve Jobs.
We walk in the store and ask for an iPhone 4 to play with, and since there wasn’t one on display (guess people steal them) they said we can play with the model they have open to the public if we do it in the presence of one of the T-Mobile employees. Again, no problem.
So the lady comes up and pulls the glorified app launcher out of her pocket and hands it to him. He starts to play with it and asks me “does your Nexus One have a larger display?”. I pull it out and lay it down next to the “can only hold me with a certain hand and in a certain manner if you want me to even half ass work” device. Now keep in mind, Im American and my friend is British, but we both live in Berlin, Germany. When I lay my phone down next to the iFLOPPED, she says in German “oh you cant even compare the iPhone to any Android phone. It s just on another level”. I smile, as I can speak German, but I didn’t want to take on a salesman with my half ass broken German. I just smile and he asks if she speaks English. Then then replies in perfectly spoken English “why yes, I lived in the UK for many years”. I almost got an erection….
So I nicely ask her…”when you said its on another level, could you give me an example how”? She replies “ where do I start? Firstly, the camera is great. It has a 5mp camera that’s much better than the 3GS model”. I say “So does mine”. She then says “ It shoots video in very high quality 720p”. I replied “um..yeah so does mine” (who cares if a hack did it..it still does ) She then says “Something that’s also been added is that the phone can now multitask with all the apps you want in the background. I replied “um, no it cant". I then said (thank God I had Quickdesk installed) “what it can do is have specified applications that can be chosen to run in parallel to one another, like this” ( I then used quickdesk to show EXACTLY what the iPhones “multitasking looks like and does). I then said, “true multitasking can do this…” I then loaded up my SNES emulator, booted Donkey Kong Country, started playing, then turned on Eminems new Recovery album and had it running in the background, turned on Fring and left it running in the background, and then went to Google Talk and messaged my friend Rene that I would swing by his house later and went back to the game, right on the level I left it. Thankfully, my Enomther rooted Nexus didn’t skip a beat.
So at this point, she starts to get upset. Colin is chuckling to himself but is a bit embarrassed. He then asks “so how much can I buy it for without a contract”? She says “you cant actually buy the phone without a contract right now”. I say “that’s strange. My phone is 6 months old, has done everything that you claim only your iPhone can do, and I got it for 400 euros NEW WITHOUT CONTRACT” (eBay auction sniped in the last 15 seconds ) . After adding up the insane amount of money he would have to pay for the iPhone in the end if he renewed his contract, he put the phone down and just said “hmm..”.
So now shes getting VERY upset. Not only have I just proven her to be a salesman who doesnt know **** about Android OR the iPhones OS, she asks impatiently “so did you want to upgrade?” I then playfully say “yeah Colin. After the way the iPhone just pretty much owned my Nexus with everything she just said, youd be dumb not to buy it right”? She then took the iPhone, walked over to her manager and talked to him for like 2 minutes. They both came back and the manager says “Im sorry sir, but we re going to have to ask you to leave the store. If your friend wishes to upgrade, you will need to wait outside. Colin then says “its ok..I think I wanna have a think about it before I upgrade”. I say thank you to the manager and that “im sorry if I made anyone upset. I just wanted to defend my phone agains the comment the lady said about it earlier”. We then walked out, and Colin starts BUSTING out laughing. But the GREATEST thing is that 30 minutes later, we walked into Vodafone, and we walked out 20 minutes later….with his brand new Nexus One (and hes LOVING it).
Now, if she would have known her stuff, she could have said “it has a front facing camera, higher screen resolution, ect (which I could have still countered with “useless if your friends don’t all have smartphones, blah blah). But she didn’t. Sorry, but I work as a marketing manager and did sales before. So if your gonna attack something Im passionate about, you better know your stuff.
Whats the moral of this story? Simple. If your gonna be an Apple fanboy..fine. But if you want to enter a debate with an Android user, KNOW YOUR STUFF, because we certainly do. (thanks to the awesome and intelligent as FOOK Android community)
Just thought you guys might find that story as funny as we did.
Edit: BTW, I dont encourage making anyone lose a sale at ANY type of store. What I did was self defense, not provocation.
Do you mean ATT? Anyway good story.
Oops, must have missed the UK part in my initial read through.

Nah...ATT is U.S only. Only T-Mobile sells the iPhone4 over here in Germany, and only Vodafone has the Nexus One.
Of course they don't give a crap about phones like a geek does. All she wants is to make the commission off of the sale. It's her job, not a hobby like it is for people like us. So of course they will kick you out if You interfere with their business making money.

WRONG. First rules of sales are "ABC" (always be a closer) and KNOW YOUR PRODUCT LIKE THE BACK OF YOUR HAND. She didnt, and at the same time SHE DOGGED MY PHONE. Thats the ONLY reason I said anything. If she would have known her product like she should, firstly she wouldnt have tried to sneak a low blow on my Nexus, and more importantly she would have had ALOT more features she could have named to defend their most popular product.
Edit: And the fact that I like to know what I pay damn near 550 U.S dollars for doesnt make me a geek. I like to know what I invest my money in, and at the same time I like to know the competition and the alternatives

Dude all she wanted to do was make the commission money. The iPhone has one of the higher commission for the sales person out of any other phone. To her its just some stupid job that pays her bills, not some smartphone war between geeks.

I didn't realized there were volunteer spokepeople for products, let alone get into it with a salesperson trying to earn a buck.
Yeah, she wants to make a commission, so what? His friend wanted to get a value for money smartphone. He probably wouldn't have if you were there.
If I were the sales person I'd say something like "I don't go to your job and knock the d!cks out of your mouth!"
Look everyone... the OP has a point. She should have done her homework instead of B.S.'ing his friend "to make a buck". Since she didn't... a Vodaphone salesperson made a buck instead. That's capitalism.
OP, I don't think you were a douche... you didn't whip out your phone until your friend asked about screen size, and you didn't really diss the iPhone so much as you simply pointed out that your 6 month old N1 could do the same. You're fine...don't listen to these guys.
i dont get what everybody's deal is, "trying to make a buck". Know your god damn product and sell it well. its not like he did it to be a ****. she asked.
Nice story, the sales person should know their product, especially if they attack another product. If you're going to make statements back them up. Oh and if I was you're friend who just witness you being asked to leave the store, I would just politely say that I wouldn't buy the phone from this store anymore and that it was bad customer service.
She should say that the iPhone 4 can drop calls on command. That's one thing no Android phone will ever be able to do.
That's a story I know too well. I know what I want and no salesrep has so far been able to sell me something. Even when I WANT to be convinced that buying the phone I want is a smart choise, they still can't win over my more sensible side
And this being an iPhone only makes the story more entertaining :-D

Damn, they got us there...
So, some semi-drunk iTard tonight was condescendingly dissing on my Evo when I was using it, dissing on its battery life and saying how his iPhone 4 was so much better blah blah blah.
First of all, it's just a f'n phone. It's not a status symbol.
But I had to put the guy in his place, so I replied:
"You're right. I wish I could buy a rubber bumper for my Evo but they don't make one. Actually, they don't make rubber bumpers for any phone. Just the iPhone, cuz it's so special"
Was he wearing skinny jeans by chance?
You could have been all.
"Do you know what else is square and lined with rubber?... a square wheel.. do you know who else makes a square wheel?.. nobody.. *look the guy dead in the face*..... because square wheels are ****ing retarded..."
Did you ask him if you could take a look at his battery?

I have my condescending thoughts about some iphone users but I've come to the conclusion that it wouldn't be very mature of me to verbally slam them. Better for me to just leave them alone in their own little la la land.
My opinion is that, besides not being able to play flash, it's decent hardware but ruined by the carrier it's on and how heavily the company that makes it censors apps.
ive only had a few iphone owners try to diss me lol and each time everyone else around me is just marvelling at it so the iphone person looks like an idiot.
most of the time when i bust my evo out even iphone owners just stare at the phone in jealousy

There's a simply remedy that is only 5 words long:
YOU'RE HOLDING IT WRONG!
"How does it feel having Steve Job's thumb up your ass?"
Always makes em mad lol.
Ehh the iPhone is okay, if I didn't already have my evo i might consider the iPhone 4. but what makes me mad is the everyday comment: "is that the iPhone?" while I'm on my evo. No you moron its the htc evo, and trying to convince older people android is pro as **** and the iphone is old news.

I love being out at coffee shops and other cafes people tend to use their phones to surf when my phone vibrates to let me know a device has connected to my tethering app. I can't tell y'all how many times it has said an iPhone is connected. My tether SSID is iPhone Sucks or iPhail(depending on the app). I wonder how many people have noticed it.
Also, if I am out I will always use the kickstand(hands down the most brilliant feature).
And I agree with how annoying it is when people ask if that is an iPhone. Just because it is a touchscreen doesn't make it an iPhone.
I love reading Evo/Android vs iPhone stories.

Ehh the iPhone is okay, if I didn't already have my evo i might consider the iPhone 4. but what makes me mad is the everyday comment: "is that the iPhone?" while I'm on my evo. No you moron its the htc evo, and trying to convince older people android is pro as **** and the iphone is old news.
Hate it. lol

Ditto on that. Another funny story, my coworkers and I were at Carl's Jr. a while back for lunch and some college kid is being all loud talking on his iPhone 4 and playing with his iPad at the same time while in line, while talking about how AWESOME his iPad is. *face palm*
Seriously, how much of a loser do you have to be to show off your gadgets for status?
Android users don't do that do we? Probably a VERY FEW. Most of us I think are just into our phones cuz we want to make them perfect (and unique) to ourselves. That's what's cool about Android, my perfect phone isn't your perfect phone. And if I'm showing another guy my phone, it's to show how mine's DIFFERENTLY set up than his and vice versa. Also, I'm always trying to convert normal Android users to power uses. Last week, I rooted my coworker's myTouch at work and put CyanogenMod on it. He was so stoked, he spent the next 3-4 days exploring all the new things his phone could do, suffice it to say, his wife hates me now. LOL
It seems rather ironic that these iPhone 4 users think they are so special just because their phone is "The iPhone" when there's a 17yr old girl right next to them with a phone that is THE EXACT SAME THING!
I have one friend who has an iPhone and whenever I pull my EVO out he always has to comment about what his iPhone does and how it does it better and yada yada yada. I think it's an inferiority complex cause it's like clockwork everytime.
I have no beef with the iPhone at all, I actually think it is a GREAT phone. I just like the EVO better. It pretty much does everything the iPhone does and more. Maybe it doesn't do it as smoothly as the iPhone but that isn't something I care about because if I did, I would have an iPhone just like all the other sheep out there with a pretty pink bumper, lol!

It just depedns on the user guys my friend has and iPhone (I had it too right next to the Evo but I cancel my contract) and I got the Evo so whenever we hang we actually don't care about the phone unless is some cool app that we haven't seen but sometimes people out there acts dumb when it comes to iPhone in general I know at least 4 of my friends don't want it no more and they don't want to pay ETF, and another 3 that there happy with the iPhone, one of cousin got Android cause recommended her and she came from iPhone and she is happy, but is just learning curve at first the die iPhone fans hate. No for nothing but iPhone is easy to use while Android it has it learning curve but with that you end up getting more

With the Iphone, it's all about the apps, they have a more mature app market so their apps will shine for now. But Android OS does so much more.
Does the iPhone 4 have Google Voice Actions?
Google should pull an Apple and remove all their software from the iPhone. What would the iPhone be w/o Google's apps?
