The Android 2.0 OS is stunning, especially considering the fact that it's newly released. Most of what this phone can do is simply because of the Android 2.1 OS, which can be hacked onto any other Android phone and will be offically released for them soon.
Couple all that with the fact that it's on T-Mobile, it wasn't cheaper than many other Android phones, and the Snapdragon 1GHz processor, while fast, isn't by any means the fastest out, and you get this type of response.

| | | | | | | Having owned the Droid a month I will admit that the keypad is not the best out there, but .... It's not a case of "cheaping out" the phone seems to be well made (of metal, why its so heavy). I think its more of a case of keeping the phone reasonably thin while providing a usable keyboard with decent ergonomics if not key travel / feel. I personally will always slide the keypad out over using the on-screen keyboard. | |

Better is subjective, but the Cortex A8 (at only 550MHz) in the Droid is very, very close to the same speed. There are benchmarks where the A8 @ 550MHz has been show to be much faster than the Snapdragon at 800Mhz. People were drooling over the 1GHz claim, without taking into account instructions per clock cycle. The Snapdragon is ARM, the A8 is ARM, only the Cortex A8 is a later generation of ARM. Think of it like the difference in a Core 2 and the i7. Clock for clock, the i7 is faster.
What will REALLY muddy the water latter, is when the Snapdragon product line migrates fully to the A8 core, rather than implementing Qualcomm's subset of the A8.

But you agree that the Snapdragon is currently still a faster processor. The droid and iphone may "come close", but the snapdragon still wins. The Snapdragon at 1GHz "should" be. No one has one to compare yet and to make matters worse, the Nexus One is running Android 2.1 and the Droid is running 2.0.1. Just watching a Youtube video of the Droid with 2.1, the first thing you notice is how much quicker it is. It looks just as fast as the videos I've seen of the Nexus One running 2.1.
For example: »www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ypkGi9Hxt4 Note at :56, "Everything is just super fast, I'm amazed."
Regardless, you can't generalize and say the "Snapdragon" is faster, because the Snapdragon is the processor name. The A8 @ 550MHz is faster than a Snapdragon at 800MHz, we know this, so the "Snapdragon" is not faster. At 1GHz it *may* be faster than the A8 at 550Mhz. The Cortex A8 is already available in 800Mhz variants however ...

| | | | | | Very interesting read but I can't help pointing out the following:
Contrary to Matt the snapdragon is not a subset of the Cortex A8 it is an evolution of the ARM A8 specification.
"Although Scorpion and Cortex-A8 have many similarities, based on the information released by Qualcomm, the two cores differ in a number of interesting ways. For example, while the Scorpion and Cortex-A8 NEON implementations execute the same SIMD-style instructions, Scorpion’s implementation can process128 bits of data in parallel, compared to 64 bits on Cortex-A8. Half of Scorpion’s SIMD data path can be shut down to conserve power. Scorpion’s pipeline is deeper: It has a 13-stage load/store pipeline and two integer pipelines—one of which is 10 stages and can perform simple arithmetic operations (such as adds and subtracts) while the other is 12 stages and can perform both simple and more complex arithmetic, like MACs. Scorpion also has a 23-stage floating-point/SIMD pipeline, and unlike on Cortex-A8, VFPv3 operations are pipelined. Scorpion uses a number of other microarchitectural tweaks that are intended to either boost speed or reduce power consumption. (Scorpion’s architects previously designed low-power, high-performance processors for IBM.) The core supports multiple clock and voltage domains to enable additional power savings."

Based on the above information and specs I'm inclined to go with the Nexus One as opposed to the Droid or even the Asus Liquid (which also run a snapdragon). My choice falls down to the fact the Nexus One has 512 mb RAM compared to the 256 in the droid and the liquid
Here's hoping the Nexus one will appear in europe shortly ... | |

Google benefits from people being on the internet. Period. They have such a large market presence in online advertising that their only job right now is to get more eyes on the internet. Hence Gmail. Hence Youtube. Hence Android. Hence ChromeOS.
They're using some products as testing grounds for other things. Google Voice voicemail was a testbed for their voice recognition software which is now a selling point in their Android OS. Google Chrome was a testbed for minimalism + webapps. Now they're moving forward with ChromeOS.

They have been driving the development of lots of open source projects, and even paying people without getting anything back. They have put alot of work into android as well...which im sure most of the corporate whores dont reallly like to much considering it IS a iphone killer, i dont care if you're an apple affiliate losing money thats the truth. Its sad that people still bash them just because they are afraid of new ideas and losing out on money to there new competition....
Ive been following the development of android since it was announced and have told everyone i know to invest in the manufactures who are developing the phones...give it another year for everyone to realize the potential of android. I would easily shell out $500 for the nexus one considering how badass it is, and im a developer. | |

| | Americans don't understand unsubsidized phone prices It's amazing how many people are shocked by the price of the phone here especially the unsubsidized version. The status quo is exactly what they priced it at, anybody who has traveled the world understands the full pricing aspect of phones and how it works so I don't understand why Google wouldn't price it on the same level and why people think Google would just sell this loaded phone for dirt cheap.
I don't think Google ever positioned themselves in saying that this device would change handset pricing models or even effect them. I think they are jumping into their own version of the phone to have a space to create and not be having to run through hoops that cell phone providers make them in order to push out releases of Android.
For me i think this is a good entry for google and the relevantly young Android. The phone has a lot of good solid features and shouldn't be forgotten when looking back at this release.

Boynton Beach, FL | Choices... Unfortunately, Google has marketed this as giving consumers more choices for purchasing phones. The irony is there really is no new choice other than purchasing through Google so they can make a bit of profit. The actual number of consumer purchasing options is extremely limited by this sales model - in other words, its actual a step backwards for how a phone can be sold to the consumer. Hopefully they will fix this. | |

at least for $529 you can actually get something.

Colorado Springs, CO | If they wanted to change the phone landscape They could of spent a extra 5 dollars per phone and made them CDMA/GSM compatible. A phone that can go to any carrier is a powerful thing. | |

| | That N.O. is one hot little number. It's going to be interesting to see how long the battery holds up on the N.O. I'm betting that it won't be long before you start hearing people gripe about how poor the battery life is. Why? For starters: it has a 1Ghz processor. Faster processor=more power required=worse battery life. Then there's all those fancy little features like that "live" wallpaper. You know, wallpaper that moves. What does it take to move the wallpaper? Processing=more power. And then there's the ever-popular multi-tasking. More apps running=more power. Ah, yes. Then there's that nifty voice input feature. You know, where you talk to the machine instead of using a keyboard. Guess what that takes. You got it. Yep, it won't take long for the poor battery life gripes to bubble to the surface. Just remember that there ain't no free lunch. When you add all those golly-geewhiz little features, it sure won't extend battery life, will it? | |
