From what I understand they are the same. AMOLED just describes how the OLED is controlled (Active Matrix). So yes, it is a "full blown" OLED.

I think Google is making a big mistake straying from open source and branching their kernel code. I want to believe they're not evil, the nexus one is a beautiful device and runs great. I just don't know how much I trust Google and their obsession with private information. Being poor contributors to the open source movement and this creepy obsession scares me away from owning an android phone. ]]>Feb 5th 2010 12:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/google-waxes-poetic-on-nexus-ones-design-in-video-series-new-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/google-waxes-poetic-on-nexus-ones-design-in-video-series-new-d/

The Nexus One on the other hand looks relatively uninspired. Either Google held HTC back, or the two of them decided that something more mainstream would sell better. The dock is cool, sure, but the appearance of the thing itself doesn't really captivate.

Also, HTC is fond of sticky backs, but to date none of mine on a ton of HTC devices have actually *stayed* that way. In fact, most of them discolor to a disgusting yellow-gold color from being held in my hand.]]>Feb 5th 2010 1:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/google-waxes-poetic-on-nexus-ones-design-in-video-series-new-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/google-waxes-poetic-on-nexus-ones-design-in-video-series-new-d/Feb 5th 2010 1:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/google-waxes-poetic-on-nexus-ones-design-in-video-series-new-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/google-waxes-poetic-on-nexus-ones-design-in-video-series-new-d/Feb 5th 2010 5:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/google-waxes-poetic-on-nexus-ones-design-in-video-series-new-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/google-waxes-poetic-on-nexus-ones-design-in-video-series-new-d/
I disagree; unibody construction with an elegant design that is simple; reminds me of another, better known phone that is similarly simple and elegant.]]>Feb 5th 2010 6:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/google-waxes-poetic-on-nexus-ones-design-in-video-series-new-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/google-waxes-poetic-on-nexus-ones-design-in-video-series-new-d/I disagree, the Touch Diamond design (by One and Co), was probably one of the worst designs out there because it looked great only on paper.

Let's break it down: having angular points on the back mean subject to high wear. Rubberized maybe okay, but the cost-cut versions of shiny plastic wore down in ONE week of normal usage. Also, angular meant it didn't properly fit in any case, and rocked unstably on a table.

Then, the 4-button flat face. It was interestingly capacitive, but being all the same physical surface lost deterministic behavior. Pressing left/right on the "d-pad" would either actually do it, or accidently dial, hang-up, home, or zoom. That's unacceptable for any normal usage. It's like making your accelerator and brake a single, small pedal, and you had to touch it just right.

Then, One and Co put buttons on the left-side of the case. When that design transitioned into the Touch Pro, sliding out the keyboard now block ALL those buttons, but pushing those buttons would ridiculously wiggle the phone face.

There's so many time-proven methodologies the Touch-Diamond broke. It's probably one of the better reasons the HD2 went back to physical buttons after loosing all practically by the TP2.

IMO, the Kaiser/Tilt was the best design HTC ever. Plenty of buttons, easy to reach by memory and feel, no high-stress angular points, and lacked only a decent CPU/ram and VGA screen. But instead, HTC broke that polished design due to the iPhone chase.]]>Feb 7th 2010 6:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/google-waxes-poetic-on-nexus-ones-design-in-video-series-new-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/google-waxes-poetic-on-nexus-ones-design-in-video-series-new-d/Feb 5th 2010 1:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/google-waxes-poetic-on-nexus-ones-design-in-video-series-new-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/google-waxes-poetic-on-nexus-ones-design-in-video-series-new-d/Feb 5th 2010 11:58AM
