Droid vs Nexus One

[MonkeyTime]

Unless the N1 goes where the wife doesnt anymore I am keeping my droid LOL.

+1 LMAO! Too true!

I never let the cancellation fee stop me from getting whatever new phone I want (I just pay it and move on... because I am an inveterate tech freak). So, I would switch in a New York minute if I thought it was better. But that would occur only if it were available on Verizon. I travel quite a bit all over the country (and that includes Calgary, Alberta, Canada). Having Verizon has enabled me to have mobile access where many of my associates have been without (nothing compares to Verizon).

Noob question on the screen size I know some one a 3 posts up did insert the screen size difference but I still dont get it the N1 deflt looks wider is it wider because that would be the only reason for me to not get my droid now and because of the price of the N1 Iam defetley still getting a droid now until the N1 price comes down. And last but not least is the fact that it has a sim car and can be used anywhere in the world that also gives it a big advantage over the droid.

Same here. I would have switched to another carrier in a heartbeat, but I am not going to switch to T-mobile or go back to ATT. I guess I will just wait for Verizon to release their N1.

I think this situation is very comparable to deciding whether to upgrade a processor because of its clock speed.

If you bought an intel chip, and the speed was a 2.6 gigahertz or a 3.0 gigahertz difference, I don't think I'd make a switch.

However, if it was a difference between an intel quad duo and an i7, (how ironic the chip name has a lower case "i" in it) then its a different case altogether.

Both the Droid and the Nexus will both be of the same "gen", same tech. Slight differences. For me, there is no reason to switch. If they were the same price and I had an option, I'd go for the Nexus. But to upgrade, probably not worth it for me. I very well may sell my Droid a year from now and buy a Nexus phone and take the price hit (the money isn't a big deal really) but that remains to be seen. For now, I couldn't be happier with my phone.

I need to get another phone for work and will consider this Nexus if it comes to VZW. Anyone know if it has blinking indicators to let you know if you have messages?

Thanks.

The N1 is thinner and does not have the relatively useless (for me anyway) physical keyboard. I'll take thin over the keyboard.

Also, I think T-Mobile allows simultaneous voice and data (unlike Verizon which allows only one or the other unless on WiFi).

Interesting PCworld discussion where they mention the Droid:

Nexus One Illustrates an Important Lesson - PC World Business Center

Google Android 2.1
The more exciting part of the Nexus One press event was related to Android 2.1 and the new and enhanced features Google has developed for the latest version of the mobile operating system. Some of the new features--like the "living wallpaper" that moves dynamically and interacts with the user's touch, or the Google Earth for Android app are more novel than functional. Living wallpaper seems like it would just be an irrelevant battery drain after the initial novelty wears off.

One of the most compelling features in Android 2.1 is the ability to dictate in any text field using your voice. Android 2.0 already had voice-capable search, and some limited voice commands for working with device applications, but with Android 2.1 you can use voice to dictate an e-mail or Twitter update.

The good news for Droid, and other existing Android smartphone, owners is that Android 2.1 will be available for those platforms in the very near future. Which brings me back to why the Nexus One is not all that compelling. The vast legions of Droid owners just purchased smartphones they love, and they will still get the benefit of Android 2.1, so they won't be missing much from the Nexus One experience.

Have you seen the latest AT&T/LukeWilson commercial?? What if you have a Droid and a friend calls you from Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and asks you what the capital of Peru is!?!? You won't be able to Google it while your on the phone!!!!!!!!

Lol. AT&T is really reaching. I do have to admit, if I was an AT&T user and I kept seeing those red/blue maps I would be annoyed.

Or if you're talking to a buddy and you have to make reservations for dinner? You simply can't hang up and call the restaurant (because that's rude) so instead you can make them through the Open Table app while talking to your friend.

I just think its nicer having a BAMF network where I can't call and surf the web at the same time than being able to do both in the few areas that AT&T has a good signal. lol
