iPhone killer
Follow Discussion
Hate it or love it, iPhone is one (or the) of the best selling high-end smartphone on the planet. Packed with a fast CPU and the trendy and "open" Android OS, will the Google child Nexus the First be able to be a real rival of the iPhone?

Full review: http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/HTC-Nexus-One-Review-review-r_2368.html
Nexus One. .. not sure .... but the one after Nexus will definitely raise the bar up.....
Im currently saving up for a new phone, and the nexus one is looking very promising to me, the price is a bit high but i think compared to the iphone hardware wise its worth it.
The Iphone revolutionized the whole touch screen smart phone niche...but i must say after owning the Nexus one...an Iphone will seem like a step down...more apps yes but an aged UI with hardware that havent really changed visibly is just not that apeealing anymore...it was when it came out but i dont see why ppl keep buying a phone that looks the same every year...Android is the future and with a few more updates on the N1 it will be the phone to beat hands down...but currently it comes down to user opinion...and my opinion is with the N1
I definately think the Nexus one is a better phone than the Iphone but im not so sure about the term Iphone killer. What would define an Iphone killer (better than the Iphone? stops the iphone from having such a large presence in the market?) I think no matter what new phones come out we are gonna see Iphones saturating the mobile market for some time to come. There are too many docks, accesories and too much peripheral compatibilty for some people to move away from the iphone and apple has such a cult following you will see them stick around like the treo 650 but with more users holding on to them. Ive typed alot but the summary is the Nexus one is a better phone but the Iphone isnt going anywhere
Though I don't think this phone will have the same impact as the iPhone did when it came out, it's still a marvelous piece of technology.
if they would have marketed the nexus one like the iphone or droid, it would have sold way more than 20,000. and now with the pinch/ zoom on there, it shows what a little update can do to make your phone new again!
I agree completely with you. With marketing the Nexus One is not going anywhere and many people are going to miss out on this phone because Google doesn't want to market it.
I personally am impressed with the amount of Sexy Nexy's that were sold with literally no marketing money involved. They have the blogsphere "free press" a one liner on their website "no cost to google" a press release "cost them a days worth of work and some snacks for the media hounds" and some youtube videos which are coming out now rather than before. To sell an estimated 80,000 devices in january with really only word of mouth advertising is pretty impressive to me.
Wow, never thought of it that way...
Can't wait for this to get to Verizon.
May get it, if Big Red gets it.
I agree that google should have gone a different route in selling the N1. Maybe when it comes to verizon it will start catching people's eyes. I for one will jump on the N1 bandwagon as soon as it hits VZW.
For those lucky N1 owners receiving the OTA update that includes multitouch, how is that working for you? like or dislike?
I REALLY like the specs on this thing, but I just can't help it, I need a physical keyboard. Unfortunately, it seems most manufacturers are going the way of no keyboard. I'm definitely keeping my eye on that Motoroi though. Even without a keyboard, I'd still jump on that!!!
I WILL get this phone when it comes to Big Red, as long as they allow for a discounted price for contract extensions (new every 2 etc.
I WILL get this phone when it comes to Big Red IF...
1. There is not a better looking/performing Android 1ghz variant available for VZW
2. VZW allows you to use your "upgrade" to receive discounted pricing
3. The world doesn't end
Sorry for the double post...account wasn't verified apparently...:(
The iPhone was a great phone a few years ago, but now it is garbage. The word iPhone killer should be changed to Nexus One killer.
at this point i prefer to read about anything as long as its not the iphone....
yes it sold better than anything else ever fine...one phone will not work for everyone.
obviously... it seems we will finally be getting some competition with the nexus one, htc hd2, and especially exciting is the new morestown chip for intel
I have been curious, for those that own the nexus on t mobile, how is the battery life with the 1ghz processor?
the only concerns i have are the little roller ball and all the issues as far as cleanliness that go with it, and would owning a phone directly from google cause problems in the service of the phone. verizons service policy and their availability has been a godsend in the years i have been with them. i couldn't imagine going through the Storm issues again without a physical location to run to.it worries me a little, but will probably make the leap in spring.
I'd say wait it out on this phone until Google pushes out more updates and gets the kinks out. It looks like it will be a very nice phone. I wish the unlocked version did not cost so much or else I would try it out.
This thing is beastly. I personally hate AT&T, and don"t much care for Apple. Let's see what this thing can do once the bugs are totally worked out and when it hits VZW.
i cant wait for the sprint model to come out!
Great piece of engineering, great design, great software. need more?
iPhone killer... NOT!!!
I know this is a Iphone killer on all aspects but i dont like it thats it already released in the US and not in EU i want it but i think i go to HD2
Me two. The beefier specs just make me drool.
there will never be a iPhone killer....... phone companies should just stay away from the topic its so annoying
diz phone iz better than the iphone!!!
This will definitely rule. but it may take some time like linux. the world is moving towards free platforms where there can be a lot of third party applications and support for free, unlike apple which sells the third party applications for customers.
