Thread: Why nexus one and not iphone

Nexus one was released to end dominance by iphone , so comparisons are evitable. Both these phones have their own strengths and weekness.
Iphone is a great phone but if you are unsatisfied and looking for a better sustitue then Google's smart phone Nexus One is the answer. .

Nexus one supports flash unlike the iphone which has no flash support. This Flash enhances web browsing. You may argue HTML5 is the future but well we are talking of phones for present !
Nexus one has a replaceable battery unlike the iphone
Nexus one has an impressive camera with LED flash which loads faster having an upperhand over iphone.
Nexus one is thinner and lighter than the iphone and well it is stonger too.
Nexus uses Googles new processor anoriod 2.1 which is faster.
Iphone has a 3.5 inch of diplay screen while the nexus one boasts of a 3.7 inch screen.
Nexus is sleek, good-looking and pretty . Not that iphone isn’t but well nexus is prettier.
Nexus is more customizable with widgets and icons which u can place where you want ! Also there are live wallpapers.

thnkas dudeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I don think it is worth discussing about those phones which are used by a "small bunch" of people here. And when we don even have"substancial infrastructure" to use the best of these phones. Neither these phones cater any business values for the executive scene of India where some of the big dogs are still using those 2G phones of "whose battery lasts weeks long" and "has big buttons to key in".

I regret for the comments. But really we need to built some infrastructure first. And by the way, at night we were discussing about flash usability. And it was decided that flash has no use in the future scene against html 5.

Nexus one runs on a 1-GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and Google's Android 2.1 OS.

Its Rs 31k AFAIK.

Dude forget abt Droid,iphone or Nexus one...The killer phone of all is HTC EVO 4G phone bt its only available on verizone network.....{U.S} however if any indian telecom partner team up with htc it can bring it to India as after 3g auction there is BWA auction also called PRE 4g auction This phone supports EVDO AND WIMAX.Evdo like samsung corby speed and wimax network which can boost speed of 36 Mbps available thru BSNL AND MTNL.{CURRENTLY}.

i know there r many hiccups bt to get front foot in market the telecommunication companies need to "Work that out"

iPhone lol forget its a crap phone. Infront of Htc HD2 it looks like a kid, and now Htc evo 4g (codenamed supersonic) have u seen it? its a big brother of hd2 powered by android 2.1 with a iPhone you are stucked. In htc supersonic you can change the os, or even make ur own os by editing and put back.

You can do that on any phone....just that its $hit hard to mod the bootloader, drivers and so on...

Actually its not hard, you dont have to mod any bootloader. Bootloader is just used when you have to upgrade os or some faults appear and why the heck u would have to mod bootloader?

And while making a new os u even dont need to change any drivers. If you learn properly u will see its nothing.

Btw, i have made some roms (os) for Htc Touch viva so i know about those things thats why said.

My rom - here also can be found here.

And one more thing remember you can't do that with all phones.

By changing the OS i meant putting android on an iPhone, that type, not upgrade/mod.It can be done on most smart phones AFAIK.

Anyways, good job with those mods buddy ! :thumbsup:

Hey rajan, so u do think that such type of mods etc can be done in most of phone. Well, by most of phoen what do you mean, currently only in windows mobile its fully possible and android in iphone its a recent thing and its a very hard stuff and let me tell u in my mobile i can run android too.

Anyways, thanks and lets end up this discussion.

Thats were different reviews come in, as those who would want to change the OS then would go for a phone which allows you to!

And you got to remember that iPhone is still a very popular phone and every new edition of the iPhone has high sales. As compared to the nexus one, there were way more sales of the iPhone. Although it may have its down points, but its obvious it is more popular than Nexus!

OS changing feature is just a one more bonus feature, thats not covered in reviews. Further people are just attracted by the eye candy of iPhone.

In reality if you compare iPhone with other phones its slow, what exactly happens is when u click something or launch something in other phones for example android or windows mobile powered device it gives u a delay or a wait cursor, but in iPhone they have converted that delay time into beautiful transition, so basically all those flashy animations are to hide the delay time.

And you say iPhone is still popular then Nexus one or any other Android based phone? Then actually i have just one thing to say to u Google’s Android operating system has overtaken Apple’s iPhone, read the full news here.


Hey, btw dont take this as argument or fight :P just me telling u the truth or u can say updating ur knowlege.

Well I am only saying this because I have an iPhone, so giving my personal experiences! I have used other phones too, and the iPhone is not slow at all!

btw, do you use services of iphone for what it is famous for?

@Preeti_20: You own a iPhone alright and you have compared it with other phones and iPhone is not at all slow, i too agree but to which phones you have compared. By comparing with other phones i didn't mean those java or symbian or any crap nokia phones. I talked about the real phones like Htc Supersonic (Evo 4G), Htc Leo (HD2) They are powered by 1Ghz snapdragon processor whereas your iPhone has a 600 or 800 Mhz processor.

I dont say your is bad, but the point was you were saying iPhone is still popular and is selled more while i proved u wrong.

If you read my post I have mentioned as compared to the Nexus phone about the sales!
