is the N1 the HTC Bravo??? I heard people saying that its the google version of the Bravo and the HTC version should come out in spring. Not at all sure just wanted someone to confirm it. HTC Bravo was only phone with the snap dragon on the 2010 phone leaks so that got me questioning about the N1. Thanks in advance.
think htc named this bad boy the "HTC Passion"
nexus = htc passion = htc bravo
They changed it quite much from the concept model.
Thanks for the info guys, will htc release their own model? Since the concept picture looks way sexier than the N1
N1 is sexier than the concept I think.
Most likely HTC will release their own version of the N1 which will likely have either Sense UI or their new Espresso UI. The specs will most likely stay the same if the Hero and Magic 32A is any indication. Cosmetic features will most likely change as well, but no matter what may happen the HTC Experience version will definatly not have the same cosmetic features as the concept.
I have also read that Google is planning on making a budget version of the N1, which makes me think perhaps it will be similar to the Magic 32B /MT3G was to Magic 32A?
Hi,
I have a HTC Hero at the moment and I love it to bits but I was just looking what is out there at the moment, and the acer and the nexus one caught my eye and I was wondering which one would be the best to upgrade to.
I like the looks of the nexus one the build and it's HTC I have a lot of faith with their phone haha.
Thanks

I'm gonna buy a new phone about 2-3 weeks. I've got 2 choices: Google G1 and HTC Hero. Actually, I prefer G1 than. Because It's got qwerty keyboard which very useful for my work . But Only 192mb Ram as 288mb of Hero.
Hero has a 3,5mm audio jack. But If I buy G1, I can use Usb Jack to 3.5mm, not really convenient!
I like Hero's Sense UI and gonna upgrade G1 (If I buy )) to new rom with it inside. As I know, there was some problems like Force Closed, is it?
Is there any 2.1 Rom like Nexus1 on G1 yet? And is it fast?
Hero hardware and looks are perfect for future rom.
So what should I choose you guys plz help me!
I am to receive my G1 this afternoon..
Had a hero before this, and an iphone (both 1st and the 3g) before that.
As you said:
+the G1 has a keyboard and the original android
-G1 less memory
-G1 lacks headphone jack
-G1 is bigger
My reason for switching to the G1 (after selling Hero) is:
The Nexus one. After seeing a 1ghz powered 512MB ram equipped phone web browsing, and coming to the conclusion that even the 2G iphone as a smoother interface, and browser, I knew that my Hero would never be able to do what my iPhone did almost 3 years ago.
So I said, "**** it", if I'm going to be stuck with an ugly-ass phone (brown Hero) until september 2010, then I rather have a REAL ugly-ass phone (G1) instead of a wannabe phone like the Hero.
Hero imo is wannabe because:
-multitouch browser but no multitouch keyboard..
-the photo app are so wannabe, but sub 60fps
-almost everything else
I really detest the Hero interface, especially compared to the slick stock android interface.
The G1 is not afraid of what it is; a Geek phone. I love the bulkyness and the Nerd-design. More than the Hero which doesn't know if it wants to be an iPhone when it grows up..
The memory issue did not bother me that much, The android interface does not allow for real multitasking like the Palm pre anyway, although the notification drawer is a step in the right direction.
But anyway, aside from mp3, browsing and messaging at the same time, I am not going to be multitasking that much anyway.
Conclusion: for me the design, keyboard and the true Android OS instead of Sense UI were the reasons for choosing the G1.
P.S. I have used a Hero from september 2009 until last week.

Just my 2 cents, but I would get the hero, unless you REALLY need that hardware keyboard ...
As you mentioned the Hero has more ram and rom, fixing the shortfalls of the G1 hardware, also it is still unknown whether the G1 will receive an official Android 2.0 update ... whereas the Hero is only a few months old and HTC have already committed to upgrading it to 2.1.
I quite like the Sense UI but other stock Android 1.6 roms are available in the hero section of this board if that's what you want.

i would get the hero. i have the g1 and i wish i could get the hero but i cant.....i really dnt like the g1
I think you should get a 2010 android phone not 09 or 08
I was thinking of getting the HTC Leo or the TP2(WM phones).
hero! get the hero, I would trade my dinky little g1 for one any day. Official 2.1 hero vs. rooted hero for g1 = hero wins. Even the best hero roms on the g1 are just too slow. trust me, get the hero
actually, did you see that roadmap of the new htc phones for 2010, yeah get the snapdragon one! wait it out, don't adopt an old phone
I don't know maybe I'm part of the minority but I like my g1 and it's keyboard. I can text anyone on a hero, N1 and Iphone and still reply and text 5x more over them. When the next android phone with a keyboard comes out I will upgrade.
and hiddengopher if your g1 is slow and dinky it's not the rom's your flashing because my is super fast and sleeky
Maybe I'll buy a Hero, can't wait for new phone in 2010. Don't tell me about MileStone or N1 'coz I don't have that much money and Sense UI impression me after all!
I was tried the qwerty on G1 and find it's hard to type( I have HTC Kaiser before), the soft key on Hero and G1 in landscape mode still good.
If I buy a Hero, I have to wait for money support from my family in about 2 week
P/s: As I know, there are many G1 has been bricked! So I don't want to get risk of it!

But if you wait youll beable to save "more" money, then you can have more to spend on the fancy gadgets with fancy features.
a new android device has just come out called the HTC Wildfire http://www.htc.com/uk/product/wildfire/overview.html
the design sort of looks like a desire with a few nexus one buttons.
well theres no forum for it yet so.... an administrator could make one so people that get one can use xda to tweak it.
Thanks
Its not even released yet, so I'm betting xda can wait a while. To me it seems like a hero in a different case
Yup but it is releasing soon.
hTC Wildfire Official Release Date is June 14th 2010 at T-Mobile, UK.
And it will cost about $200
I m also eagerly waiting for this device.
Had a play with a prototype last week. It had a trackball but the shipped version will have an optical track pad like the Desire.
I quite like the unibody constuction on the Legend but this means you could plug in an extended battery as you're not constained by the size of the case.
Phone looks pretty nice was thinkin about gettin it or the mytouch slide
Hi everybody,
I would like to buy a nw phone because the tattoo is good but... won't be upgraded correctly to android 2.1 or 2.2. Sometimes it's slow, bugging (e.g.: rebooting while installing the update of google maps, ...)
I was thinking about buying either the HTC Desire or the HTC Wildfire. However, I don't know which one to take
Could you give some advice?
Thanks ;-)
have you got the money? if you do, get the htc desire - higher res screen, bigger screen, can play games better, but the wildfire has better battery life.
Hey,
Yes, I've got the money (if my renovation budget is correct ).
Indeed, Desire is better than Wildfire. But I wanted to ask the question because I was disappointed with the Tattoo (no focus for the cam, for example)
I'm very happy with the Desire that I have - someone at work though is getting the Desire HD today - I can't wait to see all the HTCSense.com stuff on it... but still think i'd rather just stick with my Desire Original
HTC Desire HD seems really nice but really too expensif.
lol Wildfire vs Desire? Even the Wildfire designer will tell you to buy a Desire...
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3337&idPhone2=3077
You can't compare them...
P.s. i have the Wild but if i will ever have that kind of money, i'll buy the Desire.
well, I just bought the Desire ;-)
It was in promotion "-15%" if I gave another cellphone.
The HTC Desire was originally at 429€ and I gave a Nokia 6110 and got 64€ back I'm so happy
The Desire is REALLY nice !
Thanks for your advises ;-)
its always the money problem which brings everyone to the wildfire
Yes, I agree with you.
I saw the Desire Hd and it seems to be better than the normal one. but the price is scary... 599€... for a phone
Desire, hands down.
Choose wildfire if you don`t have the cash, think that the Desire is too big, or if you don`t want to loose a lot of money in case of theft/loosing the phone.
I only wanted a entry level android phone and HTC Wildfire for a 17yr old teenager is good investment
definately desire. I m soon ex-wildfire user
