I'm in the same boat, but I'm still waiting for my ETF to end before I have to make a concrete decision. Would love to pick up either of them though.]]>Dec 23rd 2009 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/exclusive-nexus-one-full-specs-detailed-invite-only-retail-sal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/exclusive-nexus-one-full-specs-detailed-invite-only-retail-sal/The HD2 will never be better than it's delivery on day 1. It isn't going to get Windows 7 upgrade and reviews are mediocre due to it's Windows Mobile 6.5 OS.

All Google phones have received updates that greatly improve features and performance. So buying an HD2 is like buying into the past.

Android Release Schedule
1.5 (Cupcake) - Released in April 2009
1.6 (Donut) - Released in September 2009
2.0 (Eclair) - Released in October 2009
2.1 (Is this Flan?) - Rumored to be released in January 2010

The HD2 won't have Google Turn by Turn Navigation, Google Goggles and on and on and on. ]]>Dec 23rd 2009 10:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/exclusive-nexus-one-full-specs-detailed-invite-only-retail-sal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/exclusive-nexus-one-full-specs-detailed-invite-only-retail-sal/Dec 23rd 2009 10:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/exclusive-nexus-one-full-specs-detailed-invite-only-retail-sal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/exclusive-nexus-one-full-specs-detailed-invite-only-retail-sal/

Or is it also worth it to hold off for another 6 months to see if Apple can ink a deal with Verizon AND come out with a "revolutionary" new platform that allows multitasking.

Get an HD2 or an iPhone, this new Google phone is all about hype/buzz but in fact it has nothing better than either of the two handsets i mentioned above.

there have been updates for the HD2 either official one from HTC or from xda...

Yes there is a roadmap for Android but let's bet honest none are really bringing anything amazing, it's all about fixing bugs or catching up with other mobile os imo.

which means that XDA Devs will figure something out. That, and the fact that it comes with the Sense UI, which is the best mobile interface ever. Barring that, the Nexus One (if it ever sees full retail - it's all been speculation so far with nothing concrete), should be easily patchable to run the Android version of Sense via XDA, which will make it a much better device.

i was thinking the same thing in regards to Bobbo's post about the HD2 never getting any better. it's an HTC phone so regardless of what is officially released, XDA will support it forever with the latest and greatest stuff. plus it's specs all seem to fit into the WM7 "Chasis" required specs, so to say it will never get WM7 is probably false. it might not officially get it from HTC, sure, but i can pretty much guarantee XDA will get WM7 running on it once it's out. sure it won't be as clean a process as an Android OTA update, but it won't be rocket science to install the ROM either.]]>Dec 23rd 2009 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/exclusive-nexus-one-full-specs-detailed-invite-only-retail-sal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/exclusive-nexus-one-full-specs-detailed-invite-only-retail-sal/

The Nexus seems like a nice phone but I would like a third phone to compare to with a snapdragon i.e e.g a samsung bada phone which I believe will have all the bells and whistles of the Nexus and more.

I know some of you are going to say to look at the omnia II and lag, but I think that's because you have a phone which is really skinned to the brim on top of windows where as droid has no skin but it's the actual OS, so don't write off samsung yet. Also they already have the best multimedia implementation onto a smartphone. I think I will wait to see what happens in the first half of 2010, because it is going to be a battle between devices from iphone4, droid/Nexus, and Bada( the new comer and champion)]]>Dec 23rd 2009 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/exclusive-nexus-one-full-specs-detailed-invite-only-retail-sal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/exclusive-nexus-one-full-specs-detailed-invite-only-retail-sal/do you also work for engadget? maybe gizmodo? its funny because the sites that always slam the hd2 (like mr unbiased joshua did on his hd2 review) complained that many of the feature of winmo are old and tired, even if they are the same as some other platforms (ie the honeycomb menu, how is that any different from the iphones grid launch menus?!?!). its clear that a lot of fansites have a lot of anti windows phone/mobile sentiment. and its clear that you have it as well. i'm not totally defending windowsmobile because i know it has its share of faults, but it also has its share of strengths that the iphone and android simply dont even come close to. and on a tech blog, i would assume that you know of one of the, if not THE LARGEST, phone development website in the world...XDA. if you think that this phone is going to be as good as its going to get on day 1 and thats it, i got some premium land to sell you. Also, if you think that this flagship phone, which was closely developed w/ microsoft, and also supports EVERY SINGLE windows mobile 7 chassis spec (and there are a quite a few of them, not to mention the ''hidden'' partitioned memory the hd2 has) actually WONT be able to be upgraded to winmo 7. Well, i'm gonna have to figure out a whole 'nother scheme for you, because you are easily the king of fools.

**my editorial note**
if there's one thing that has pissed me off over the years, its that iphone users always insisted the iphone was the jesus phone. its a great phone, but by no means perfect...and by no means perfect for EVERYONE. and one thing i'm starting to see a lot of, is people (droidboyz) who swear that android is the second coming. Even though its been shown that android as a platform has its fair share of quirks. There are people like myself who have used the iphone, used the many android units, used symbian, used winmo and have made up their mind. i'll can live w/ the fact that i'm not ''one of you'' but to relegate the phone that i, and millions of others around the world use because of preference, into the big steaming pile of horseshiet pile is really small minded. ]]>Dec 23rd 2009 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/exclusive-nexus-one-full-specs-detailed-invite-only-retail-sal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/exclusive-nexus-one-full-specs-detailed-invite-only-retail-sal/

Let's pretend the HD2 is out in the States, and people have it already and have gotten tired of WinMo. How difficult would it be to flash the ROM and put some Android in there?

The HD2 is nice mainly due to the HTC's customizations. Without those customizations, it'd still be nice hardware wise but software wise wouldn't be in the same category. That being said, I'm in love with the specs of the N1 and would certainly sell my Pre, pay the ETF, and switch back to T-mobile to procure such a phone. ]]>Dec 23rd 2009 9:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/exclusive-nexus-one-full-specs-detailed-invite-only-retail-sal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/exclusive-nexus-one-full-specs-detailed-invite-only-retail-sal/Dec 23rd 2009 11:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/exclusive-nexus-one-full-specs-detailed-invite-only-retail-sal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/exclusive-nexus-one-full-specs-detailed-invite-only-retail-sal/Damn.

That's what people are not realizing. The RAM is what excites me. The HD2 only has 400+ something. This has 512MB RAM. Add that to the 1Ghz processor. That is why this thing is blazing against all the others in the tests so far.

Google android is still just hype right now.
