Nexus One because it's unlocked and also: it's the phone that Google employees use most therefore your phone will run the newest builds/features before everyone else's.
When you get it: immediately root it ("fastboot oem unlock"). If you want to do it later, it will wipe your data first. And then toss the latest Froyo build on there - you will have to Google around to find it, but it's really good.
- extension 16y agoThe big problem with the N1 is the terrible touch screen. Quite often it won't register a touch on one or both axes and the "multi-touch" is a lie.
- jrockway 16y agoI've played with a friend's Nexus One. You can pinch to zoom in Maps and the browser, so who cares about anything else?
- cowmixtoo 16y agoI have to agree here. I love my N1 but the 'touch' part blows.
- phuff 16y agoI'm thinking about getting an Android phone and like the idea of the unlockedness of the N1. Does the touch part suck enough that it makes it overly difficult to use the phone? I had a G1 before and it seemed usable enough...
- strangecargo 16y agoThe biggest downside to the Nexus One is the screen; it is almost impossible to use in direct sunlight and the PenTile subpixel layout makes everything look like it's been resampled. Anything bright with a straight edge over a dark background ends up with a red dotted line along the left edge. It's most noticeable in text.
