1) The hardware is nothing without the software. Even a nice capacitive touchscreen needs the right programming. So, I don't think I really need to draw a distinction here. Also, I think everyone is using roughly equivalent, commodity hardware.
2) All Droids lacks the wealth of apps the iPhone has.
3) All Droids lack years of market testing like iPhones have.
4) If your girlfriend works at Google, you are certainly biased, and I think anyone who has touched all the major smartphones can't really say any of them are the best except the Blackberry or the iPhone, depending on the application. All Droids and Palms are just me-toos trying to catch up right now. I'm not saying Android and its phones won't get there, they just can't be there yet.
- stanleydrew 17y agoI'm mostly trying to point out that the N1 is not a new phone in the sense that the original iPhone was, and your entire first post indicates an overly simplistic view of the phone and its software. When Snow Leopard was released and started shipping on new Macbooks (with newer hardware) it would have been ridiculous to suggest that this "new computer" was "too new" and will suck for awhile thus we should wait a couple of iterations.
