Android overall rules but I dislike the N1. It is a great phone but I personally dislike it because it's hyped and nothing special, plus I don't like the design (only a matter of personal preference) HTC has awesome phones coming out lately, like the Desire, so thinking about getting one of those. Btw, weren't you all "touchscreens ftl" before?

(ATM I have an iPhone updated to 4.0b3, the OS is just monotonous to me and lately I don't like Apple very much.)

yeah android is sexy..
but iphone is still ruling the touch screen market..

[Mac]

Doesn't mean it's better. iPhone is still doing good because
a) hey, it's made by the oh-so-classy Apple!
b) simple, straightforward (but monotonous to power users) interface
c) OS4 rumors

Open OSs FTW. I want to be able to do more on a phone, one thing that Apple openly forbids "for customers' good". Well fuck you Apple, I'm going open.

We're going offtopic here btw

I thought about Desire, but one thing stopped me, OS updates, I like my phone to be stock, not much of a modifier to be honest, N1 will get Android updates instantly because it uses an unmodified Android, however with HTC Desire, Hero..etc they all use a modified Android, UI features mainly.

So you have to wait for HTC to release an official update, which takes months, I believe HTC Hero is still on Android 1.6, users are still waiting for an official update to 2.1, which doesn't seem to be happening soon, but who knows.

And yes, I still stand by my statement lol, smartphones are not practical at all, I do what Martin Cooper does, I have an android for my web and "smartphone" needs, and a Nokia for my daily use stuff.

Who cares about official updates? Custom firmwares FTW.

PS. Hero has Eclair
PS2. Not practical? Oh come on, you must be kidding me. Oh well.

I do , as I said, I don't do custom, too much effort and I'm lazy lol.

Notice the first comment here:

only another 18months and this will available on the hero!!!

I hope you didn't make that statement without seeing how you root a phone and put on a custom firmware on YT

[el_jentel1]

Nope, didn't even bother to be honest, I never even OC'd my processor, not a fan of doing custom stuff. Hell, I don't even ask restaurants to modify the order, I just get what they offer.

That's the beauty of N1 though, I don't need to modify or root anything.
