I'm really liking the nexus one over my G2 for now. It could be the new factor. I love how all the roms work perfect on the device. With the G2 the sense rom lagged and the miui rom would reboot randomly. I really miss the keyboard of the G2. I really would love to see the G2 get official miui support. The development on the nexus one is outrageous.
PS. I didn't mean to put down any G2 developers. You all are awesome and you guys are the reason I'm still holding onto the phone.

I guess that is one of the reason I have not upgrade to new device. Every Rom available for nexus pretty much q good choice. You can't go wrong with any of them.

Nexus one is the one for me, fortunately, i owned it over a year...
if you think development for the nexus one is good now, you should have seen it a few months ago. the development on this phone is just through the roof.
it really is a great phone, all this time later, and why many of us cant find a replacement for our nexus one. it still matches most phones out now approximately, and its perfect size and build with color trackball. nothing else can match it for me but i'm thinking of going with desire s maybe...
The Desire S would be a good choice as it's the closest thing to a N1
I would only buy it though once a CM ROM was available.
The N1 is an awesome phone but has it's issues. Flawed to perfection in my mind!
I get my first N1 soon...stoked to add it to my stable.

Get CM7 on there sharpish and enjoy
I can see myself hanging onto my N1 for as long as possible. Perhaps when the Nexus comes back to the HTC camp again... For now we still have a top flight device that's on par with the best of the competition.
I'd miss the great dock capability, with the gold contacts on the phone, and simple things like the pouch, (been using it since day 1 and after a year it's still pristine), too much to want to change to something that's lacking those nice extras.
it's stupid, I know, but one of the reasons I don't wanna switch from N1 to anything else is the position of the "BACK" button (I like where the buttons are now... Back, Menu, Home, Search)
other factors:
- other phones aren't vanilla-friendly
- trackball
- nexus s feels like something from the dollar store
I really hope another nexus-type phone comes out from HTC, not Samsung (terrible build quality)
oh yeah AND THE POUCH !
I can't believe this, but I have buddies who got the Desire from Telus, the Captivate from Rogers and the Galaxy S from Bell .... not a single pouch! What're you supposed to do when you get the phone, have a pouch pre-purchased? pffff cmon...

Lol, my sentiments exactly.
The N1 package, with the official docks too, is the best i've ever seen! Docking contacts should be mandatory on all new phones and they should be supplied with pouches!

I'm actually trading my g2 for a nexus one soon. Do you guys think ill like it over my g2?

For Cyanogen Mod alone, nope.
I like Miui which i find to be a little buggy for the G2. So for me it's perfect. I really like the Nexus One, but my G2 isn't going anywhere.
Only problem with the Nexus One is the occasionally erratic touch screen.
And of course at some point the CPU and/or GPU power will become a problem... then we'll have to upgrade.
nexus one is one hell of a phone..
great combination of google(the best os co.)
and htc (the craziest and best phone manufacturer)
I think that until more and more applications are developed for dual core phones or take up more RAM and require more processing power, the phone will always be here.
I personally dony think that we need dual core phones at this point, and I'm only interested in the GS2 because of the screen size and specs.
Ill definitely be keeping this phone for a long time.

you make a great point that is never mentioned, the BACK button should ALWAYS be on the left most part of the bottom. its just natural. we read left to right, and something backwards is to the left, forwards is to the right. so moving your thumb LEFT to hit the back button is the most natural feeling, and the way it should be. moving your thumb RIGHT to go LEFT is just counter intuitive and opposite of how it should be. not sure how these manufacturers dont realize this fact and test it.

That messed me up a little when I first got my Nexus coming from the Captivate in which the back button is tthe 3rd slot.
There are just so many things that this phone does right; design, size, trackball, led light, button placement, os.... it is just a great phone.

I completely agree about the buttons, that is the first thing I look for on a new android device, and they never get it right! Also, I absolutely LOVE trackball notifications! I honestly don't know what I would do without them. Nexus One is an amazing device that I see myself holding on to for a long time.

Never live in the past but always learn from it.
Their whole point to introduce this device as a security featured phone that can be adopted in the corporate world. Hardware encryption, the use of Webex for secure meetings, Kies security for remote management.
Well face unlock is a really bad feature since it usually works with pictures too... If they fixed that, it is a great feature.
wow, thats crappy.... We will have to wait and see how it functions.
i'll say they should replace it with a Eye Retina Scan

Surprised nobody has commented on this -
Samsung is going to have a NINETY second spot during the superbowl!
A normal 30 second spot costs around 2-3 million bucks, and samsung is buying three of them! Whoa
The commercial is being directed by the Farrely brothers (There's something about mary, etc)

That's odd... people normally don't even notice how big the phone is when I'm talking on it... (possibly cos it's mostly hidden by my hands ).
People do, however, notice its size if I'm using it for other stuff like messaging or browsing...
OT: I'm really happy Samsung has been pushing this phone into the mainstream so much. It's an awesome device. And it'll be even greater with all the development support that comes from being a mainstream success.

Not a big fan of the commercial to be honest.
They sure didn't say much for a 90 second spot.
But I guess the whole point is to get people talking about the note, and then the Note will take it from there.
Is it this one?

Yah I was really looking forward to it too, but was a bit disappointed. Not even a mention of the 5.3in screen, just the stylus. The ad missed the mark IMO.

Dont let a Samsung employee hear you calling it a stylus
I hope they do something outrageous about it like it having a dual personality, a phone and a tablet, and it falls in love with an iPhone and follow it across the country. Oh wait, they already did that.
EDIT: ARRGH, my post is too late.
GIANTS won! Yeaaaaaa
Thought it was great! Really makes people think about a bigger better option, the Note. No hard sell just fun and entertainment, better than the half time show. The next three ads will do the rest. Haven't met anyone yet that didn't want my Note.
I won't say the Giants won as much as they just got lucky.
Waste of 9 million bucks. Terrible Imo
From the giant: Galaxy Note
why what do employees refer to it as?
Wish the ad showed some of the features of note, rather than people screaming around
Was really hoping for a much better spot outta Samsung on this one. Thought their previous commercials were great. Although i will say, i had 3 friends text me saying they saw a commercial for my phone.

^^^ This. If I didn't know what the ad was for (and I hadn't been following the Note for months now) I would think it was just another Android handset with that pointy stylus thing that Steve Jobs said was bad. Not a single thing special about it. Didn't feel like 90 seconds; seemed like it was over and I was still waiting for some tangible "here's why this thing is awesome" moment(s). Oh well. As the Note has done elsewhere in the world, I'm sure it'll sell itself on the merits as people start using them.
The add was lame. I was sold on the specs alone before the thing was ever announced (just rumored) ... Of course we have to remember, most people aren't nerds like us...
The downside to it's success is that, unlike the Dell Streak I'm writing this on, I wont be the only person I know who has one! When I whip out the Streak I always realize that no one has ever seen a phone like this. That is about to end...
The upside is of course that the development from this community, and the updates from Samsung should be great.

Samsung are allll about it being the "s-pen", i was just being facetious
I think it's odd how many people say the Note is too big, or you will look funny holding the phone up to your ear. I make at least 40 calls a day, and I do not use a headset, and not once has anyone said I look funny holding the phone to my ear. Maybe I do look funny, but nobody has ever mentioned it, or even looked at me funny. I think the first few days I used the Note, I felt a little weird, but now I don't even think about the phone size.

If someone doesn't want to get the Note because he or she "will look funny with it" and not because it's too big or any other actual reason - there's something wrong with that person, not the phone. Enough said

It doesn't matter when it's big enough to satisfy expectations my friend
I agree w. OP. I am a Prof on a 3 campus university. I am always walking around them and the research labs. I have no problems with putting the Note in my front pocket, talking on the phone with it my ear, using it with one hand and of course being able to do email, schedule, find a room number of a meeting - all while on the fly walking w/ or w/o the pen and usually using the dead accurate voice commands and dictation - never get a strange look.
I use the note like a computer and get things done with such less frustration than past phones ( moving between touch, pen and voice and using allot of gesture controls for speed). I am on one campus when a crisis happens on another ( I am a Grad Chair for a Interactive CS school on one campus and Dir of another small program in Cog Sci on another), checking email and voice inputting a reply or room number or person to call - saves me hours of frustration if I had let the problem grow and not made a quick fix or alleviated with a quick email.
The phone is a godsend and the 'it just looks to big for me being on my hip bus in Manhattan with my hipster friends ( hey I grew up in Manhattan) is just stupid press BS which we have to read all the time. Although 5 million of us know better.

Years back, the smallest phone was the trend and if you owns a small expensive phone, you would be the talk of the room! But nowadays, large device/screens are the growing tend. 4.3-4.6 inches screens seems to be the most popular but I think it won't be too long before the majority of people would adopt a 4.8 or 5.5 inches phone!
Thing is we all like to browse websites/check emails/watch photos and videos on the go, and to be able to do this with ease, we need more screen space. The Dell Streak 5 was great but it was built with very outdated hardware/specs. Samsung definitely has won the consumers by making the Note stands out of the market with the S Pen and some top hardware specs.

don't be afraid hold your head high and hold the bad boy to your ear, show the world you have real taste in phones and are not part of some apple fan boy flock who will buy anything because it has a i at the start of its name....
Congratulations on your new purchase, and welcome back to Android, we've been expecting you.
Did you not at least go to the store and try one out first, just to make sure it would be the right fit for you and was not too big?
I am sure you will love it. And you have nothing to be afraid of when using the Note in public to make calls, just own it, like a boss.
Congrats! Welcome to the fun side!
