Inferior firmware!?!? Your you crazy!? The Nexus One is the only phone officially on Froyo! And even if you ment hardware, the Nexus One is far from inferior (thats HTC Dream/Magic, 1st Moto Droid). While it doesn't have the latest and greatest (Snapdragon vs. Hummingbird) (External vs Internal+External Storage) (No Front Facing Camera), it's still not lacking anything that would cripple the usability of the phone.]]>Jul 24th 2010 3:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/tweaker-ports-samsungs-touchwiz-ui-onto-non-rooted-nexus-one-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/tweaker-ports-samsungs-touchwiz-ui-onto-non-rooted-nexus-one-fo/
I apologize. I'd read your comment as Thou shall receive eternal damnation for defiling the Nexus One (now dearly departed with inferior firmware,)" as though it's firmware was the reason Google discontinued it.
