    Is this going to run on anything but T-Mobile?

    I am in such an epic phone/service indecision right now as my T-Mobile/dumbphone contract is about to finish.

    I have an iPod Touch and lots of apps I don't want to lose, but I don't want to carry two devices around. However I far prefer the iPod/iTunes media integration and interface over Android's.

    Bah!

    If Google partners with T-Mobile I'm just giving up on ever owning a decent Android phone. T-Mobile blows so hard as a network, and they get all the Android phones. Is it too much to ask for the Nexus One on Verizon?

    i've spent some significant time with this phone over the past few days, and as a crackberry enthusiast, i'm definitely switching over if it becomes available on telus' hspa.

    notes:

    - the camera image quality, while "unspectacular", is among the best on any smart phone. the low light quality with flash is very impressive. skin tones are not washed out, and the flash is blindingly bright.

    - the browser is absolutely a joy to use. i hesitate to use the term "insert phone here"-killer, but the experience feels so "next-gen". kinda like the first time you used an iphone.

    - this is hands-down the best screen you've ever seen on a smartphone. no "probably". and the glass is silkier to touch than my late 2008 macbook pro touchpad.

    - the keyboard is still not multi-touch, as in you have to release each key before typing the next, and i'd say my typing speed was on par with that on an iphone. i'm a physical keyboard purist though.

    - the processor is ridiculous fast. no matter how many programs you have running, the switch from landscape to portrait is rendered in less than half a second. iphone and my curve 8330 felt sluggish and last-gen by comparison.

    - google sky (i think it's called) was really well-implemented with the built in compass. you basically hold the phone up to the night sky and you have a map of each star and constellation. the draw speed, again is stupid fast.

    - the photos of the phone out so far make it look cheap and unsightly. in reality, it feels as "expensive" as anything available. the main rear surface as well as the front border are a brushed metal and that soft rubbery stuff. i had my doubts until i held it. the physical design is sex. serious.

    Performance sounds good, but I'll bet Apple is keeping their powder dry on newer, even better performing iPhones until this comes out. Well, until just a few days before this comes out. Nuthin' like making your competition introduce their brand new model as the second-best in the market.

    Other than top new hardware, a lot of this seems like bells and whistles. Considering the killer processor, the faster Safari sounds like another case of Apple demonstrating that a better OS beats better hardware every time.

    So, if there is a legal (assuming you mean patent) problem with droid getting multi-touch, why does Palm get it for free? Do you think Apple is just waiting for Google or Microsoft to jump in before they sue everyone on the market? If so, how long would Google and MS have to wait? If Nokia, Samsung, Palm, and everyone else steals Apple's multi-touch tech, could Google and MS just make the claim that Apple didn't care to defend their patent so it's public domain like you can do with trademarks (ala Microchip)?

    @dallasmay: Frankly, I doubt it actually does have anything to do with legal reasons, as has been covered time and again. It's actually not terribly likely that Apple even has a patent on the pinch-to-zoom gesture, as many other devices include it with no fuss. Not to mention, as the first article I linked to points out, there's been no found record of such a patent.

    I don't know what the reason is that they haven't had pinch-to-zoom yet, but there's little evidence that it's a patent issue. Just speculation.

    I'm going to guess Snapdragon, if that 1GHz number is accurate? Other architectures can clock that high, but Snapdragon is the only one that actually has in production phones like the HD2.

    @Nitesh Singh: Gizmodo should know by now that comparing Mhz between chips from different lines makes you loose all credibility. It's like saying a Hummer will go farther than a Prius because a Hummer holds more gas. It's just that idiotic to me.

    Just to be fair...I think we should really wait for 2.1 to be on the Droid to judge just how much faster the N1 is. Granted it does have a faster processor than the Droid, but those who have put 2.1 on their Droids say the speed is GREATLY improved. Some of this added speed is apparently just from the upgraded OS.

    1) Google basically developed the Motorola Droid. Motorola gave them complete control over it. So Google is hardly "sticking it" to Motorola.

    2) Unstable versions of Android 2.1 on the Droid are remarkably speedier. It's likely the speed boost comes more from the enhancements in Android 2.1 than the physical hardware differences.

    Stinks for those people who probably cannot afford these phones at cost. I just bought a Droid for Christmas, and that was straining my budget as it is.

    The joys of being a student with a monthly disposable income but a rare chance to stockpile that money...

    Still happy with my Droid purchase. Yes, this phone looks awesome, but Droid is nothing to ignore either. I am sure (as commented below), 2.1 will bring some speed improvements. However, coming from an old Curve running OS 5.0, this thing is a monster of speed already. I have no idea how it could get faster.

    If Google is selling it themselves and it works with AT&T's 3G, I'm getting one.

    If it's only via T-Mobile, then pass.

    Neither carriers are great, but I'd rather have the mediocre coverage of AT&T then the minuscule coverage of T-Mobile.

    I don't know a whole lot about Java, but when he says he ran some "Javascript benchmarks", what exactly does that mean?

    There are quite a few Java based web games that I play including Pogo. I tried out some Java games on my bro's iPhone, but they did not work - nor did some Flash based games.

    Will there ever be a smartphone with full Java and Flash support in it's web browser?
