This thread is a bit of a waste really but i just thought i would share my opinion !
well my sister came around yesterday and started flashing her new ipony4 about, so i grabbed it and had a play and at first glance I liked it over the old 3gs, the screen res for a smaller screen than my hd2 was impressive but then my sister start telling them all the problems she is having with it in the last 2 weeks oh how i laughed !!! ha ha
but getting back to me playign about with it it wasnt even 5mins later i was borrrrrred to death with it !!!!!!
I cannot work out for the life of me what the big fashionation is with the iphone! I think its like marmite, you either love it or hate it and I Hate it!!!!
Same with me.
Work colleague got it recently and must admit screen does look impressive, much better clarity than older models.....but that is basically it, there are no other new features that impressed me despite how much she tried to show it off
ha - also they are paying £50/month plus £15/month insurance 18m contract............and they also had to pay money towards handset...........I am not kidding! oh yeah, and she had to buy a case for it in order to use it for its most basic of functions, calling people.
They said to me, "Aren't you tempted by it?"
"Lol I pay half that for a phone I got 8 months ago which is still better in every way"
Its all down to how they have had it advertised, as with all Apple products.
There not mind blowing, just cleverly advetised.
I don't think I'd ever want to go back to a smaller sized screen. The new iPhone may have a better resolution or clearer screen or whatever, but it's still small.
I know what you all mean - once I've had my leo, I cant seem to like anything else. Besides, the HD2 has come a loonng way since it came out. With the amazing job that people here at XDA are doing, I'm now thinking this phone is 100 times better! I've just flashed my latest ROM after not having an HD2 for a few weeks and everything is so smooth like butter! If I compare my phone now with a stock HD2 it will look like I'm using different phones, it's amazing!

I have to agree, I'm so used to my hd2 that whenever I use my ipod touch, I get frustrated with the size. Especially the keyboard!

pmsl since I posted the 1st post I have just found out that my sister has returned the phone due to keep freezing and locking up and they wont take it back hahaha but she did ask the salesman what other phones would he recommend and he said xperia x10 or the htc hd2 and then she said what phone do you own and he said the HTC HD2..... I rest my case.....

Hilarious, I nearly fell off my chair.
This just about wraps it up.
Like said earlier its all advertising hype. They did a fantastic job selling the "basic" 3GS model & then totally screwed up by trying to step it up a notch.
I think the way iphone's been sold is by having people convinced (without actually saying so) that apple are actually pioneers in the big/touch screens.

Now that I have sold my Nexus One. i was very sad immediantly just because the phone was sexy as hell and amazing speed. The college i got accepted to sends all incoming freshmen a iphone 3gs and are required to use it to keep in contact with professors.
Now that thats said i want to continue with whats the truth about the nexus.
1) i had a problem with the headphones along with alot of other people when listening to music threw your headphones that came with the nexus you would get a shock... for me it mostly happend when i was plugged into a computer
2) DUST...omg the dust i got under the corner of the screen was annoying the crap out of me. i couldnt get it sent back because i wanted to keep the engraving on the phone. and i didnt want to wait 2 weeks for them to send me my phone back.
3) the phones speed is AMAZING but i feel as if google hasnt completly utilized the speed and GPU yet. *if they can pull this off, things would be so much better than the iphone*
want to add other things about this phone *without being biased* ? go ahead lets see if we can get some good information in here for new android users
Yeah...
Non-biased my ass. The only thing the iPhone does better than the N1 is the app store. To say they need to work on their GPU is just a pathetic representation of a review...
I'm not even going to try wasting my time to make this a worthwhile thread. OP, you're just... Ugh..
Too LAZY to send it back and wait a couple weeks for a problem... That's YOUR fault. There's policies in place to remedy issues... *****ing isn't the appropriate remedy.
P.S. Shocking from earbuds happens with more than just the stock headphones. Go google it.
they need to fix the dust under the screen issue.
!maybe a way to upscale low res images from the interwebs so they don't look like ass on the high res display!
but honestly, i have been more then happy with my Nexus after selling my 3GS.

THe headphones that come with the N1 doesn't work well on other standard 3.5mm jacks because the pins are specifically designed for the N1. Apparently if you insert the headphones into your computer half way it should work like normal headphones.

To the OP: cool story, bro.
There was exactly no reason for the OP as he just stated a few well-known issues that people can experience with this phone. Every device has a its own set of issues and the OP will now be fortunate enough to experience the many IPhone problems.
I think we'd all be better off if this entired thread was deleted.
Wow what college do you go to?

wow didnt know there was so many haters in here lol go get a life. i posted this thread for new people to look at some issues and as to the iphone headbuds that sucks i have never even heard of that problem i havent been shocked by them for a couple of weeks so we will see if i get that problem.
i spelt threw wrong....woah! your big and bad. big deal go get a life bro. im not wrighting a english paper here dumbass its a forum thread.
that's cool that abilene christian gives out 3gs's. i guess thats how my friend got his. congrats
anyways
the dust issue didnt happen to all nexus's. heck i haven't gotten one speck under mine yet.
also hope you didnt use the stock headphones. i usually assume stock is bad.
enjoy the iphone. i personally cant wait to see what comes out of the next one.

If you were to post in an apple forum..."hey, i just sold my iphonepod in favour of a nexus one" you would see similar responses. The only difference being a witch hunt would ensue if you left the apple collective

People are growing tired of "it's okay, it's only the internet" as a justification for poor grammar and ill-written thoughts. It is also rather ironic that a person is off for higher education and is unable to use simple words correctly. Perhaps they should be handing out dictionaries and the like rather than iphones...

Let me help you with that since you'll need to know this in college:
i spelt threw wrong....woah! you're big and bad.
Your is a possessive term, where as you're is the conjugation of "you are". So in the future, make sure you check if your usage is right by replacing the term with "you are" and seeing if it makes sense to you.
Anyway dude...bro... you need to grow up and stop acting like an e-Gangsta. To be fair, nothing you posted is anything new. We've all heard it all before and so the thread is a flaming waste of space. That being said, good luck in college.
The phone has a powerful processor and an impressive amount of RAM. I dont think it uses either one nearly to its potential (at least i hope not), which is kind of cool because, although the phone is smooth and fast, the performance ought to be able to be vastly improved with software updates. I like the phone a lot but i also think its fair and justified to expect a lot more from it down the road.
If anyone that knows about hardware can confidently tell me not to expect much more from the device please post that information so that i may sell this phone. thanks
'Through' is the correct spelling. 'Threw' is the past tense of 'throw
"Yesterday, I threw a ball through a hoop."
I'm glad Jesus can afford iphone 3gs's for all students!
Jesus is a baller, lol, im still confused about this dust issue, does anyone have a picture of what this is all about? I got mine the day it launched and I have no idea what people are talking about I havent had any problems with dust and really cant see how it could get under the screen, I keep mine in my pocket every day so Im sure it woulda happened by now if it could. Id also have to agree that the only thing the iphone has is the app store, once androids gets up there it will be a lot better because there's a lot more potential. Id already have to say that handcent, dolphin, and google voice are good examples of that because apple only lets you use their stuff and blocks something if they already have an option is pretty wacksauce in my opinion, why not let the people choose which they like the best, makes no sense to me. Oh well. /rant

I got my Nexus One, and while I expected it to be good.. I did not expect this much! Literally the best phone I have ever had in my 14 year old life (After previously having G1s, MyTouch's, etc.) It feels so smooth, its so fluid.. I love everything about it! Google, I wuv you guys..
Now, as I've said before, a better phone better not come out by Xmas.. don't wanna sell this thing so soon ^.~

My 14-year old had one for a day. She couldn't do without a physical keyboard so we're waiting until an android handset comes out with one. She loved everything else and, despite the lack of a keyboard, my Nexus One is the best phone I've ever had. I come from Windows Mobile.

It takes a while to get used to the on-screen keyboard. I know from experience, I came from a G1.
After a few months, I still can't type as fast as I did with the G1 keyboard, but it beats having to turn the phone sideways and flip out the keyboard just to type a few letters in some app. The convenience of the big screen and using the on-screen portrait keyboard without having to turn the phone sideways outweigh the gained typing speed on my G1.
your lucky dude..14 years old with a nexus...anyway I love this phone..coming from a touch pro 2..I don't miss that phone one bit..not even the keyboard..well maybe a little lol but still this phone is great and so is swype.
Speaking of typing on a virtual keyboard...have you seen the video of a guy typing 83 wpm on a virtual keyboard? Albeit, it's not a N1...impressive non-the-less.
wow when i was 14year i didn't even have a dumb phone lol, congratz on your nexus one hope you enjoy it
My nexus one surprises me every day. It is definitely the phone I've been waiting for.

Saw this 15 year old drop his iPhone in my class, screen shattered, and he told everyone, its alright, parents will buy me a new one. Can't always depend on them, you know what I mean?

Well after spending approx 500$+ what do we get..???
An awesome hardware with not so awesome OS..!!!
I feel like I am using Windows 95 on my Quad Core Desktop..!!!
We still have no Android Port [I know its not an easy task & I do respect the people who are workin on it], we are not gonna get WM 7 on it..!!!
So finally do you really feel you've got value for your money..???
I am using Iphone too [its 3G not even 3GS], to be frank I find its OS much better than WM 6.5..!!!
The thing is whatever I can to on my LEO I can even do it on my ELF juts has small screen & less graphics..!!!
My friends said "Hey why did you spend so much its almost like your overgrown HTC TOUCH, has nothin that new"..!!!
you know i keep hearing ppl unhappy...tell me, what the hell is wrong with wm6.5! with sense convering the main stuff, everything else is snappy. what on earth is so bad about wm? and yes i have used an iphone and android, and iphone is too simple and boring, android seems good but i dont feel that it offeres much more than apps which i hear isnt that great anyway
so tell me...what are your gripes with it? imo the HD2 rapes everything out there
you just said its crap and havent said what exactly is crap
I feel i have my moneys worth...yes the HTC Sense software can be buggy at times, freezes, crashes, but MOST of the time its pretty darn good!

anything that keeps the missus occupied for a hour allowing me peace and quiet is a damned bargain for me!
having owned HTC devices for about 5 years now, i never get bored with them, mostly down to this community right here... i have you all to blame for many sleepless nights flashing roms, customising themes and general geekiness
to put the whole Iphone/HD2 thing to rest...
when presented with a half-finished product, a man will attempt to solve its problems and get the most out of whats on offer... 99.998% of women allowing for the few dedicated female members here ) would get bored after 5 minutes and give up.
when presented with a product thats all form and little function, a woman goes 'wooo! shiny! all the celebrities have one so i must too!' a man looks at it, thinks "what a pile of chrome plated poo" and will never again set eyes on that product.
as you can see i'm clearly biased, but then im a man and i wont let the laziness of a few microsoft employee's get the better of me
in short, the amount of time my missus and i will share tinkering with the HD2 (without arguing thank god) is easilly worth the money i paid...

Im uk based mate. on t mobile too. got the hd2 for free and 50% off line rental on the friends and family scheme, making it 17.50 a month for 1200 mins unlim txt and unlim internet i was taking the piss cos he doesnt wanna belive that the hd2 is a good phone, so its sad for him to have spent so much on a phone he doesnt even WANT to like. I gave him reasons to like it and he ignored them completely
$500......? I know I didn't even come close to spending that. I spent all of $50 to get mine. So ya I feel I got my moneys worth.
Ok, I don't know if I am going through a buyers remorse but here are my 2c
The phone (Hardware):
One word F**kingawesome (yes, thats a single word...according to me )
Software:
OS:
Has my type of apps that I can tweak and play with...that's a good thing
Stability:
Hangs on me a couple of times a day (my mistake, I keep putting stuff on it and testing apps a LOT) but thats the way I like it...
conclusion:
Awesome phone as it...but
eagerly waiting for the android port (not so much for Win7 though...it doesn't look like a tweaker's OS)

Yes, $500 is excellent value.
The fact I got mine free was a bonus, it is an awesome piece of kit.
Mine is rock solid stable, has what I need on it, and tweaked to how I like it.

well worth however much you spent, ive had a ton of smartphones & ppc this is the best yet....
the best thing i brought i my life
[OFFTOPIC] SGS2 is a total disappointment... "Important" functions NOT working...
I read about all the features of the phone, it all got me very excited but some things are not working...
First of all, it doesn't bring me beer when I use vlingo and say " get me beer"
Second of all, Crysis 2 is not running at all. Phone's not that fast..
Last point: I put my phone into airplane mode, threw it in the air.....
Worst transformer ever.....
The rest is working pretty damn fine, so its maybe not a total failure. What are you disappointed about?
First I was like "Hahaha.. NOT" but after a few seconds I started laughing at your post xD
I have not been blessed with a GS2 yet, still waiting. The only thing I could be disappointed about is: build quality/how it actually feels in (my) hands. Further the TouchWiz and Battery life are two things I am semi-worried, but you know TW can be replaced by custom launcher or ROM and Battery life should be decent with tweaks.

Build is better than it looks, but the same goes for the sgs1. Dropped mine once and nothing to see, wiped the grains off and no damage at all. For the sgs1 you could buy stronger backplates and the same will go for this phone, looking at its sales. Samsungs internal build quality is actually one of the best in the business so I wouldn't be to worried. Touchwiz 4 is quite nice. Huge improvement over tw3, still I ditched it within 2 days. Launcherpro all the way for me
It's so thin, i can barely see it, wait...
because the thing i am disappointed is, that we still not have it here in Germany.
We should get this Phone about the same time as UK, but forget it. We are still waiting for that. Most of the people are ordering the phone in UK or Austria because they have it already and not only that, they still get new charges.
I like this Forum and i would like to make some Tweaks on this phone too, but i don't even know when I can get it.
By biggest complain is that it doesn't do bj...
Oh well, maybe it's successor will do

I read about all the features of the phone, it all got me very excited but some things are not working...
First of all, it doesn't bring me beer when I use vlingo and say " get me beer"
Second of all, Crysis 2 is not running at all. Phone's not that fast..
Last point: I put my phone into airplane mode, threw it in the air.....
Worst transformer ever.....
The rest is working pretty damn fine. What are you disappointed about?

First and foremost, this phone is utter crap, it ate hundreds of my lovely British pounds before I could even pick it up.
I thought it looked amazing so I spread some cheese on it, but it didn't taste ANYWHERE near as good as it looked, now it turns out I need to feed it even MORE money before it will work again...
Seriously upset.

They ARE the best in the business. Look around, nothing comes even close. They manage to fit virtually everything in (more ram then anyone else, quality cpu, screen out of this world) light and this THIN -->

Other companies are feeling the pressure now. 4inc and over screens need lightness otherwise it just becomes a brick, but then they have to fit in all the top specs inside too and they don't have the tech yet to do that.

So for my moms birthday I got her an iphone 4s just because I thought it would be easy for her to use seeing how she isnt much of a techy. Early this morning (about 5 minutes ago in fact) she woke me up saying how she saw the gs3 on the news and about how amazing it is and she demanded that i sold the iphone on craigslist and pre order this phone for her. I have to say my mom surly did surprise me today and i am so proud :')
cool story bro
Nice .. you should have had more taste also .. an iphone .. heheh.... joking

Your mom isn't that tech savvy, the previous night just before she woke you up I was telling her all about the sgs3 I had in pre-order!
P.S. I AM YOUR FATHER......

Nah, it's more "I don't want to be tech support for X years." Let's face it, Android gives you a while lot more control, and with control come more options, and with more options, mass questioning/general hysteria is soon to follow.
I would still recommend the iPhone for the non-tech.

My mom got the S1 shortly after release as a birthday present.
She kept complaining about not being able to to stuff or certain things taking too many clicks, so I installed Darkyrom first and CM9 later, customized the phone with some apps (most of the 'Go Dev' apps) and she's completely happy now.
With an iPhone such features would've been nearly impossible to get.
Note that she's technically illiterate (well she thinks otherwise but meh...) and uses the smartphone-capabilities only at home to check Amazon orders, get a weather forecast and listen to foreign radio stations through TuneIn.
I've configured MyBackup for daily backups to be kept for a whole week so even if she mistakely deletes or misconfigures something it's like 2 clicks to restore it.
Set me up with your mum :silly:

Well yes and no.
Generally parents aren't really that tech savvy and they use these smartphones in limited range of functions. Take my parents for an example. I got my mother an iphone which she transitioned from a blackberry. I got my father an Evo which he transitioned from a blackberry. Initial reasoning behind the purchase was same as what you're saying above but it's actually not quite true. Both of them use it for calls, email, text message, im, and internet and both have had no issues doing just that. In fact my mother seems to envy my note purely based on size.
Now i did pre-order the S3 for sprint for father's day based on his feedback. Despite the fact that he has an ipad, my father wanted the S3 over iphone4s and evo lte based on the interest in AMOLED screens (he asked me on more than few occasion what kind of screen tech is used in my phone)

You've completely missed the point bud. I'd get any of my non-tech relatives an iPhone over an Android anyday of the month. This is because I've been been the "guy to call whenever **** blows up."
Now, no where in my rant did I say they didn't envy my SGS3 for one reason or another. Hell, my mom even said over the weekend that "wow, I can read the text so clearly because that screen is so much bigger on your phone...!" And, just about every iPhone user quivers when I'm sitting there Swyping like a boss. But, does that mean I'd get them an Android over another phone? No, hell no, and twice again on Sunday... no. The fact of the matter is, any carrier sold phone in the States here that ISN'T an Apple product is riddled with bloatware. Add on top of the fact that Android simply isn't as polished an experience out of the box, I wouldn't bother.
Now for myself, I wouldn't touch an iPhone. I need my phone for work. I need it to do the things I need it to do when I need them. And, the only way to get that is to setup and customize my phone the way I like it. I'd be nowhere near as productive on an iPhone, and that would only end up pissing me off, resulting with the iPhone 6 feet under in the pool, hah.
But again, to each their own. For me, I've been the family tech support dude... really, been there done that. Got way too many other things on my plate now than to keep carrying that torch if you know what I mean.

I'm having a bit of parent envy here. My dad, after watching me using my Touchpad running CM9, asked me "is it as good as the real thing?" (read: iPad). I was so ashamed for him. :crying:
