[Another iPhone Killer] Google Nexus One (Android OS)

another? there has to be one to be another right?

there will never be an iphone killer

 

I was gonna get a Droid this month, maybe I should wait for this now since I'm already with Tmobile?

 

i think its too good to be true. pics of this phone only just started appearing and its gonna be released in less than a month? i have my doubts. if it does happen though, i'm def in on it

 

This is my iphone killer. Nokia N900


I should get it by Monday and let you guys know how it is.

It multitasks up to 24 apps

It has 1 gig of memory and a 32gb HD with a sd card slot if you want more.

It has a better screen resolution than an iphone/ supports flash

built in FM transmitter.

this computer has a phone in it too.

 

I hope Google makes this phone successful through the UNLOCKED market. The easiest (and most profitable) way to bring this phone to the forefront is through phone carrier distribution but I think Google can make a killing on a phone like this if they are willing to take a hit on each set (maybe selling it for $399 unlocked?) to reap the benefits later.

 

I love, love Nokias and but I wasn't enamored with their S40/S60 format. I hope the Symbian OS has improved a whole lot in the past 3-4 years.

 

honestly i wouldnt even mind if they had a little banner or scrolling ad on the phone if it drove the costs of the phone bill down substantially. i dont know how people would react to it, i would have to see how much room is taken up by the ad. but just a little banner that goes across the top of the screen wouldnt bother me.

 

I want this one sooo bad!!!!

 

If only it wasn't so ridiculously expensive! *sigh*

 

True. People keep hailing these "iphone killers", much like they hailed the "ipod killers", and yet the ipod remains the industry standard/most popular music player ever. It doesn't matter if it does more, or even does it better: until people adopt it as the industry standard, it's not an anything "killer". Apple v. Microsoft should have taught us that.

 

No more symbian. It runs a new open linux based OP called Maemo.

yeah, I found on Amazon for $500 (still a lot) after rebate but I'm looking at it like I'm buying a netbook (I need justification sometimes).

 

That wouldn't be a bad idea either. They could theoretically just have the browser have a small text-ad scroller on the bottom and I would be completely fine with that.

 

I've had this phone for a couple of weeks now. It's just OK. Hopefully future updates will improve functionality.

As far as web browsing and multitasking, it's definitely ahead of the curve.

It's a bit chunky and you may or may not like the resistive touch screen. The stylus helps a bit when you need to be precise.

 

yeah, I'm a bleeding edge geek so I know how there are little bugs here and there but the core is good and the potential is amazing.

I can't wait to see what developers can do with all that power.

The iphone is successful for one reason alone: THE APPLICATIONS

 

What makes it just "Ok"? Is it a lack of apps or is it because of the physical reliability of the phone?

 

Not going to disagree with you here but you have to also give the iphone credit for being very user friendly for demographics across the board. I think that is more important than the apps.

 

The N900 doesn't run Symbian, it runs a new Linux-based OS called Maemo.

 

One thing is for certain. The Android Operating System will do for wireless hand-held devices what Microsoft Windows did to the Personal Computer.
