Does T-Mobile provide good service where you live, work, drive, and play? If not, don't get a Nexus One. (assuming you're in the US.)
Android vs. iPhone is a religious debate, and it's unlikely you'll receive enlightenment from flames. Android 2.X (N1, Droid) is a big improvement over Android 1.X (everything else).
- Murkin 17y agoThanks for the input I am not from US and we have excellent GSM coverage here. The Droid's keyboard sounds like the big winner. Especially with all the stuff about no multi-touch on N1.
- jf 17y agoIf you have any servers that you SSH into regularly, I highly suggest getting an Android phone with a keyboard. ConnectBot (a SSH client for Android) is the reason I got my G1.
- CamperBob 17y agoCounterpoint: the iPhone is God's own portable VNC client. Using any kind of remote-desktop functionality without pinch-and-zoom sounds painful, unless other phones have a clever UI paradigm I'm overlooking. If you're mostly interested in command-line work over SSH, though, I can see how a phone with a physical keyboard would be the best tool for the job.
- sagarm 17y agoThe N1 does have multitouch support at the hardware and API level, and the on-screen keyboard uses this support. The fact that the maps application and browser don't support multitouch is probably mostly due to legal issues.
