So, I'm going to unlock and jailbreak my Iphone and ****ing sell that POS.

What data plan do I need from AT&T? I guess I can swap the SIM card, and then call them?

Anyone else with a Nexus One on AT&T?

 

Did you buy your Nexus One straight from Google? I want to get one so bad, just haven't had $500 or so laying around for one haha I love how it has noise cancellation for your phone calls.

 

Why dont you like the iPhone? Im not goign to change your mind, I just havent used the Nexus one and was wondering what the main benefits of switching are...

 

wtf is a nexus one

 

Was going to write back saying "good luck with no 3G" but I just checked their website and it looks like they released an AT&T 850/1900/2100 mhz version? I have the 3GS iphone and I was considering switching but without 3g the nexus was worthless.

I mentioned it before but it has noise cancellation so that all your calls sound like your in a dead silent room. My gf's friend has one and said it works really good. I heard people are already rooting it and overclocking the processor so its even faster.

 

I'm in between on picking up a Nexus One or unlocked iPhone 3GS or waiting for the new iPhone, G1 is just too slow and old to me now.


EDIT:
WOW! Could've sworn I selected "Edit" not "Quote" sorry for the double post guys.

 

Yep, has the 1900 radio pick up now, so 3G works just fine.

 

Crashes on heavy data like uploading a picture or new item.
Connector sometimes doesn't work, so won't sync or charge.
I hate how it syncs, cause I really dislike Itunes and it's super protective bull****.
I hate that my phone has horrible reception (don't blame AT&T, my other AT&T phones worked fine).
I hate Apple, and steve jobs... they are the wicked, and evil, and so damn controlling. I hate companies like that. So little choice in what you can or can't do.

What I like about google, ****ing so much is free. It's open. It has turn by turn nav, included, google goggles is great for searching things, it will have full on flash support, I can put whatever music I want, and have Itunes needed to do it. It plays more music/video formats. Higher res screen, better contrast on screen...

I can't list it all, just too awesome.

 

I've had 2 different google android os phones (g1 and motocliq) and they both can't hold a candle to the iPhone 3gs (my new phone).

What those specs don't tell you is how easy the phone is to use, how the web browsing is, the overall quality of the device (I believe it's made by the Taiwan company htc), etc. The iPhone is hands down the best phone I have ever used by a long shot. It really has a web browser, not some wannabe mobile browser. Almost everything you would do on a computer like pay bills, order something online, I even check my payroll stubs on my iPhone (none of those things I could do on the android phones). I also like how everything just works with everything. If I'm surfing the web and see a pic I can just tap it and save it and put it in a mms or a email or whatever. Copy and paste is really good too compared to android. The phone to me behaves more like portable computer to me than a phone.

I have nothing against android and was really exited when it came out and it would be fine if I had never tried a iPhone, but the fact of the matter is it's not even a comparison. Not to mention the crappy htc phones that he android os comes paired with. My g1 stopped reading my sim card so I decided to get a moto cliq with hopes that a motorola phone would have a better build quality, well the keyboard stopped working after a month or so. So I'm done with android.

 

Not to mention I-club sucks on any android phone. It's like reading a newspaper with no pictures, lol. Maybe the nexus one has changed that but mine were horrible.

 

Hmmm...iPhone 3GS? I don't follow Apple news so I don't know if some of these issues have been fixed but there were always a lack of some pretty basic functions that kept me away from the thing.

MMS support? Video capture? Use mp3s (or any music file) as a ring tone? Copy and paste? Telnet/SSH support? Flash? A real keyboard (granted the Nexus One doesn't have one either)?

A full function browser is easy to download and install. It's a little more difficult to fill the whole that Apple left in their phone.

 

I'm waiting for the HTC Desire to come to AT&T in a few months.

Gagan, I think it might just be you. My 3G has been hands down the best phone I've ever owned and I wouldn't trade it for anything but a new iPhone.

 

No Flash = no good. People can rant all they want about how horrible Flash is, but I'm not the one designing websites, I just want to be able to use them as they were intended. Not to mention iTunes suckage and the numerous other reasons already mentioned here.

That HTC Desire looks very nice. I'm going to be upgrading sometime this summer from my HTC/ATT Tilt and have been a huge fan of HTC products since my original Cingular 8125. This looks like it might be a winner.
