How's the media player? The only reason I'm keeping my 3GS right now is for the iPod. I love having everything I need in one device. I may go with this phone once the 32GB flash cards are released. I'm not willing to carry around two devices again.

Well I have seen videos and pictures and the iPhones iPod is a lot more better looking then the one found on the Nexus One. However, the Nexus One's media player works just as good as the iPod on the iPhone's. It separates everything into Artists,Albums,Songs,etc plus you can create playlists right on the device.

32GB cards are available now (micro SD). They're not cheap though at $80-$90
 
Can anyone tell me how much the total price came out to? I know its $529, but how much extra are the taxes if you live in the States?

You may pay sales tax in some states (perhaps CA since that's where Google is based? Don't know for sure) but I live in Missouri and my total was $529. No tax, and free overnight shipping.

Well, seeing how I just pulled the trigger on purchasing the N1 I can tell you
for California it's $51.58 in taxes.

By the way I was mistaken a couple of posts back - 32GB micro SD cards aren't available yet.

I live in Louisiana, and I think our sales tax is 4%, so I guess I'm looking at around $550 total. How long did it take for yours to come? I am thinking about ordering one right now.
 
this debate really depends on the user. I switched from the 3gs to the nexus and quickly came back to the 3gs after a month. While the phone looked good on paper, it ultimately lacks the polished and dependable iphone os.

The nexus does have a better screen and is thinner, but i like the overall look of the iphone. the nexus looks "vanilla" compared to the iphone. The battery cover also about after a month of use got a bit loose and developed a soft spot that you could push in. I did like the screen much better though, so no comparison there. The screen is much more rich and vibrant.

overall, android felt rough. I had lots of forced close issues, gtalk disconnecting on its on, live wallpapers not working correctly, wifi not auto connecting to saved networks, haptic keys kept getting pushed where they should not have been (super annoying when texting) and prob a t-mobile issue, but 3g reverted to edge even if the area had 3g.

the OS also lacked the ease of use like the iphone OS. copy and paste isnt as great as the iphones, keyboard is is weaker (i tried other keyboards as well), market place is weaker (updates to programs are a joke. it removes all user information first).

apps in general are weaker for android, facebook being one of them. the native mail app also lacks push, minus gmail.

i did like google navigation, however its not really practical with the weak battery and low voice output. google voice great for voicemail (although not instant like visual voicemail) and voice to text works well as well.

overall, i agree with statement that apple only introduces features once they have perfected them. android felt like many areas were in beta and still being developed.

Yep, it's that Google has a physical prescence - be it warehouse for the Nexus One or just a branch. We have a branch in Chicago and I think that's why I would have to pay sales tax.
 
I've been looking for one of those cheaper ones. I found one here but he wants 520 for it. He won't get that much...
I might be selling mine (350+shipping) when my Rogers/ AT&T version gets here next week. Its been used for a week and then I went back to my iPhone because of the slow edge (Canada). I will put it on the Market forums when my new one gets here if all goes well with new one.
 
Well, I am about to order a Nexus One now. Gosh. I just got my Blackberry. I guess I'll have a Blackberry and Nexus One. Lol. This is what happens when I am a tech junky. :(
 
I have an HTC converted from WM6.x to Android v2.1 and running on AT&T's network. Best part is I only paid only $130 shipped new from Canada. Basically I can switch between iPhone when I get bored. :D
 
Is it worth paying $5 for 2nd Day Air? I'm not sure if overnight is faster? It seems like it would be. Let me know before I placed the order right now. Thanks.

Edit: Nevermind. I'm saving that $5, Lol. I can be patient.

I am pretty sure the overnight is faster then the 2nd day air?
 
To the people that own a Nexus, I have a random question. Can you make the trackball light up a certain colour whenever you receive a message or something?

That I would be down for. I'll have to keep an eye out for the thread.

You can if you root it. I have yet to do it, right now it's a stock white light no matter what type of notification you receive.
 
My current plan - and I think I'm going to go through with it soon - is to purchase the Motorola Backflip with no-contract. I think i saw the price at Sam's Club to be about 350 without a contract. I can handle that. Yes, it's 1.5 and locked by at&t but I'll take an Android device I can try out over one I can't see in store.

Plus it'll be rooted in short time.

i think you will really regret that
 
With HTC Desire coming in April, why would you buy the Nexus One??? except that Nexus one is unlocked.

Sense UI really slows down Android updates. HTC Hero owners are still on Android 1.5 but are due to get 2.1 next month. The delay? Porting Sense UI to 2.1 for the hero.

If you have to have the latest android builds, a stock devic e is the way to go. This is why I went from the Hero to the N1.
