There isnt really any new info, other than past precedent that we'll have a new phone this summer. And I bet it will be great.

As much as I like apple, their restrictive nature is slowing the device's natural progress and I don't think the new iphone will offer much over and above the Nexus One. It's a serious piece of hardware.

It better compete with the HTC HD2 that for sure. I will say this thou, the interface is still the best on the iPhone but the screen resolution is not keeping up to the new screens. I have played around with a few android and the interface is clunky. But the new HTC HD2 is very promising.

I don't know anything about that....but I'll ask later this week when I go pick it up.

I can't believe you are getting rid of your iPhone Jason. I bet six months after getting rid of it you go out and buy another one.

I have a friend that go out and gets a few of the androids versions just to go back to the iPhone because he prefers how it works.

When is your contract up? Just asking, because maybe then you could switch to a carrier that does subsidize the Nexus One.

Should be out on Verizon soon.

Personally AT&T isn't an option for me, as much as AT&T likes to bash Verizon for their "maps" Verizon is right, AT&T just doesn't have the coverage that Verizon does, and that is why AT&T is a no go for me personally. (Read: AT&T coverage is **** where I live)

Why the Nexus One? I admit I haven't looked at it that much.

IMO, and I know I am not the OP but....

I want one because I love the Andriod OS, its more "Open" and the Nexus one has nearly twice the processing speed of(nearly) any competitor and twice the RAM as well.

Well, I'm getting tired of some things on the iphone. One of the biggest problems is how it can't do basic multitasking. If I'm in an app or safari then I get a text....bigtime pita. I'm a little miffed about Apple rejecting Google Voice...basically because they don't play nice anymore. Google Voice is all but unusable right now on the iphone. No tethering is also pissing me off, but that's largely due to AT&T and the influence they exert over Apple.

I'm still just a little undecided...part of me wants to wait and see what happens this summer. I'm sure there will be some performance updates to catch up with the N1, but I don't have faith that Apple will address their lack of multitasking...at least not in this release. And they will still be stubborn about allowing a google voice app (that every other smart phone has) And I'm doubtful that the new iphone's performance specs will actually surpass those of the N1.

I've just been learning about the HTC EVO from Sprint. First 4G phone. It won't be available until "summer" and is, thus, unproved, but it sound very interesting. There are rumors of pricing from $99 to $199 after discounts. It remains to be seen.

HTC EVO

The EVO is an amazing looking piece of hardware. The Nexus One looks good but I don't like that there's no apps I could find to turn it into a mobile hotspot. I know you can tether it, not the same thing for what I need. Anyone know of an app like MyWi for the Nexus One?

'm in the same boat as looking for a new phone - my current Samsung Blackjack is about 4 years old. I'm on ATT, but will probably switch because I'm tired of having my phone in my pocket and getting voicemails 2 hours after someone leaves them for me without a even missed call notification.

The EVO looks awesome (HD2 with android and 4G), but take away the 4G and it's very similar to a Nexus one/HTC incredible. And since I live in a city that is not in any carrier's 4G plans at the moment (even though it's the 16th largest in the country), I suspect 4G will be my next phone instead of this one.

So, I think a Verizon N1 or Incredible will probably fit the bill for me. Android looks pretty cool. I'm a tweaker at heart, so the locked-down nature of the iPhone doesn't appeal to me, and it looks like Windows 7 is headed that direction as well.

From a raw power perspective the Evo puts them all to shame though. It's why I am going to wait

Man...I just can't bring myself to pull the trigger on this yet. The fact that the N1 is a first gen product kinda has me hesitating (and the $575 price tag)....

Any news on non-phone android PDAs like the iPod touch?
