I'd like to tell everyone my experience switching to the ATT version of the N1 (which I still have). I'd like to preface this saying I'm not anti-Apple or an Apple fanboy. I have no irrational allegiance or hatred for the company. They're just a company and throughout my life I've constantly switched between devices to find the best one for me. I posted my experiences after a couple days in an N1 forum, here are some excerpts:
Since that post, many of these things have stayed the same. I still think the screen on the N1 blows the iPhone out of the water, but there are several things on the N1 that make me want to go back to iPhone, now. I'll summarize them:
-The iPhone scrolls far smoother. It stutters less and webpages are more easily manipulated before the page has fully loaded than on the N1.
-Spotlight murders any type of search google has on the N1. Spotlight is super fast and very efficient. Google search on the N1 is slow (letter by letter is embarassingly slow), it doesn't search through a whole lot of stuff (they do have web suggestions though as you type) such as calendar, etc.
-There is no way to search calendar.
-The calendar app is horrendous. It is literally the worst program I've ever seen, and I downloaded the "do not push the button" app for the iPhone.
-Even though everything syncs with google, I miss iTunes integration pretty badly. Apple has me snared in that regard.
-I added someone to contacts, but when I went to send them a text message later that day, their name didn't pop up when I started typing it in the recipient section.
-The keyboard is really bad. I've tried to get used to it, I've given it time. It is aggravating. It tries to autocorrect things for no reason, and is buggy. I could type 45-50 wpm on my iPhone but I am terrible on the N1. This ruins the device for me. Apple got the keyboard right.
-Things are slow! Programs don't open immediately, the phone kind of lags when programs are opening/downloading/installing. The animations aren't as smooth and fluid. It shouldn't be this way!
-Copy/Paste is terribly implemented. After all our complaining about Apple not including it, they at least got it right. It sucks on Android.
-The worst negative, though, has to be the touch screen. It isn't sensitive. It causes me to miss keystrokes typing, bad scrolling, inaccuracy for selecting links, etc. Your finger almost needs to be warm and soft for it to work. My fingertips are usually dry on account of the fact that I play basketball so much, and it just doesn't work for tapping the screen. I was using the calculator yesterday and you just can't count on it picking up the right number of presses.
Overall, the N1 is a good phone. It really has some great features but I'm buying the iPhone when the new one comes out this summer (with iPhone OS 4.0 of course)...the day it comes out. I'm excited to get back to integration with all my Apple stuff, and I'm excited to get back to a sensitive touchscreen with a great keyboard. Android has a lot of potential, but it's not there yet. It's strange; some parts of the OS seem so advanced while other parts are mind-bogglingly primitive.
I know, this was a super long post but I hope it informed at least someone. If anyone has any questions don't hesitate to ask them. I'll still have my N1 until the new iPhone comes out so I'll still be able to know what I'm talking about.
