Great graph.
and to think i switched from a series of Nokia phones (because they loose support every 6mo, to the point you can't even buy a working headset cable or extra charger for them) and bought a nexus one because i thought "spending $700 to buy an OPEN phone directly from google will get updated software for life and consistent use of cables and standards"
- mdwrigh2 15y agoTo be fair, you do get to use all of the new accessories and cables. Plus if you want to run ICS, while Google may not support it, it certainly seems like Cyanogen will have a version for the N1.
- gcb 15y agohum... you may want to check your facts. the desktop dock and car dock was discontinued what? 4 months after the launch? HTC only resumed selling 1.5yrs later. During that period the car dock was selling for $200 used on ebay. I have no idea if HTC still sells those now, but wouldn't be surprised if not. As for "new accessories" i bet most of them will use the near field thingy and be useless for the nexus one.
- mdwrigh2 15y agoI have yet to see a new /accessory/ use NFC (really, the only thing I've seen use it is Wallet-like applications and check-in type applications). The desktop dock is still sold by HTC, but the car dock doesn't appear to be. Regardless, they're just a device that holds the phone and charges it. There are plenty of generic docks that still /do/ that (and probably a few third party ones that do it as well).
