Okay I was just making sure I got most of my money back because my total for the N1 was 578 for the next day or overnight shipping I don't remember which it was. I sold it on CL for 530, nobody was wanting it for any higher which is understandable. So i pretty much lost $48.00 but it's okay cuz I was wanting a 3GS back so badly.

Are you in the u.s DoNoHarm? If so would it be possible to import a Canadian Motorola Milestone? It sounds like a very capable Android handset and might be a better choice over the Nexus for you.

by the same token, they've trampled on the privacy rights with their buzz social networking site. Many of their EULAs have wording to use your data/images/documents perpetually for their own purposes. While I think they're doing some good things, their do no evil is marketing mumbo jumbo. Kudos to them for standing up to China though.
I wouldn't say they trampled on privacy rights... People got to see who your friends were for a brief moment before you could change that. Bad move, but it's been corrected. Mostly an oversight by someone rather than a company decision to share every ones info with anyone.
As far as the EULAs go. That's pretty standard for similar businesses. Facebook does it too. Most of what they use this stuff for is data analysis so they can create better products that cater to large groups of users.
I have no problem with it. I'm even a beta tester of Google Brain Probe! Soon you will all see the light of Google and accept Google as our Overlords!
Here in the US the market for unlocked phones has always been poor. Given what I've read, google's expectations weren't that it would sell half a million units or anyhting like that. In fact from reports that I have read, they are pleased with their little experiment. Perhaps that's just marketing types putting a positive spin on it, but I don't think so.
Over all its a superior phone to the iPhone hardware wise and its OS is close in functionality to the iPhone's. There's just some things that are missing and may always be missing (my oft mentioned cut/paste example). Either way, I can see myself using an N1 and being happy instead of the iPhone.
I do miss the iPhone's attention to detail which is why I'll probably be sending back the N1 to google.

I can't ever imagine not using Android as my Smartphone OS but OS4 will give me some nice new things to do on my iPod Touch.

It'll give me nothing on my jailbroken iPhone 3G.
More ads! Yippie! I mean, I'll appreciate the unified inbox, but that was never a deal breaker... So far I'm underwhelmed by this update. It basically brought them up to speed with what other platforms (Android) have. The next device's hardware will need to be spectacular.
I'm unimpressed with the update. I'm rethinking my position to return my Nexus One.
Absolutely. After today's preview of OS 4, I am significantly more satisfied with my decision to switch to the N1.
Growing to like this phone more by the day.

One thing I would like to see if the Android haters keep on about the G1 not having Android 2.1 now that the original iPhone and the iPod touch aren't getting an OS 4.0 update?

Will varying OS versions no longer be an issue?

Well, the difference is that Apple isn't still selling the older versions. They are doing this to make people upgrade their phones.

When you put it like that it does make sense actually. It does seem that OS fragmentation is headed to iPhone now tho.
Absolutely flabbergasted that there is no new notification system. Disappointed with no ability to add widgets. What is important to Apple is a game center and additional revenue for them (iAds). There is no doubt that I will be getting a Nexus One. I have outgrown the iPhone and need something for a more advanced user. I guess you can't blame apple for targeting the larger and more simplistic user base.
In one sort of twisted sort of way, I'm not entirely surprised. Disappointed yeah but not surprised. Apple has not reworked the UI and modifying the notification system I beleive will require that. Heck, the multitasking with the running shelf doohicky seems kind of kludgie. It pushes everything up just to show what's running. How would the interface look if they added something for notifications. It would be far from clean and simple
Yea, their focus is money... Make no mistakes here. Apple is not all givey givey.
They want to make the iPhones and iPod touches to be major competitors in the mobile gaming market. They even showed graphs comparing it. I don't think they were good comparisons though... Games for the other devices cost money to be licensed and they included "entertainment" apps... Not just games. Who knows what that is? I bet that counted things like Discovery Chanel.Android is a Phone and I doubt it's going to try to compete with the game center.
iAds... well that one is self explanatory. That one is for the developers.

That's good news. It wasn't a bad update IMO. Lots of people speculated and got it right so hopefully most people have got what they wanted with 4.0.
Combined with an iPhone hardware refresh, who knows what else 4.0 will bring?
Me? I'm waiting to see where Android 3.0 takes us!
EDIT: There seems to be far less hate in this thread than some of the threads I've seen so far!

I was scared that 4.0 would be awesome and I would regret selling my 3gs for a nexus...
No regrets here

Wow. All the Android defects on a MacRumors forum bashing the iPhone to justify their purchase. Lol. That is hilarious!
They are all phones people. Get over it. Go plant a tree or something then come back and argue over who has the biggest one.
Wouldn't it make more sense to do that on a tree forum?
Seriously, what else would you use the phone forum for if not to talk about phones?
OMG LOL! U r soooo rite. I cnt bleeeve that Appel would dare give us such a MEH updayt? amirte???? I meen they shood have givn us a radio app or a coffee maykr? amirite??
