Nexus One or Mytouch Slide

[safeplayer22]

Nexus doesn't have an official 2.2 they have a beta they are still waiting on official 2.2 froyo. I am just saying this isn't going to last 2 more years. If Nexus is lucky they will barely be great till summer of next year. Motorola is already planning their 2ghz device for by the the end of this year.

Nexus One isn't going to last long simply because it is still solely sold on the net most people like me like to try before we buy but we can't do that with this phone. Once its sold in stores its not going to sell a lot because its an old device sure specs are great but there is much more to specs than a 1ghz processor. Take for example onboard memory the new high end phones are coming out with high internal storage (gigabytes). Bigger and better screens. much more features like 720p video recording Nexus didn't even have that until the recent Custom Rom. BTW all mytouch's will be updated to 2.2 android

Nexus one may not be entirely out of date but within the coming months it will be.

Read the question again from the OP. He ask slide or nexus one. As of right now he Nexus one is superior to the slide in every way except if you like a physical keyboard. if the nexus is outdated, so is the slide.

Exactly! I don't see why that guy seems to think that the Slide is gonna be so much more up to date than the Nexus..

Edit: And the contract isn't 2 years btw, it's only 1 for smart phones.

Don't need to. Read the past posts and you will see that I originally answered the question. I said what my choice was for the contract. I am just saying that if the questioner is going for high end the questioner should wait because the high end part is soon over. Nexus one is nowhere near worth getting on a 2 year contract when there are far better. If the questioner is getting a contract just to get a newer phone then the questioner should go with a MT3GS its a satisfying phone its going to receive the same updates Nexus One will in any case due to tmobile backing the mytouch's.

How about you actually READ the OP before typing your thoughts? thank you.

here is a quote from the OP

because if I make the wrong decision I will have to keep the phone for almost 2 years for my next upgrade.

Yeah because he probably does think that the contract is still 2 years like a lot of people do. I'm letting everyone know that it's now only 1 year. And have you read your own posts? You keep saying how the Nexus is outdated and it's gonna be dropped soon. Lol.. like the other guy posted. If the Nexus is outdated then so is the Slide.

'-.- dude

have you not been reading posts thoroughly or are you just blindly backing someone when I JUST explained what the deal was?

I will repeat again.

If the person actually gives a crap about high end then the person should wait because Nexus its not going to be considered high end for even about 6 months. waiting is the best option if dude is going for high end because motorola is going to be coming out with a 2ghz phone by the end of this year. Shortly after or maybe before 1ghz and up will be standard. much more phones will have more internal storage such as 8gb/16/gb and then the person can still have a 32gb microsd for whatever else.

Much faster processor etc

If the dude just wants a phone to renew contract MT3GS is the way to go.

what are you NOT understanding?

 

[2FR35H]

Nexus is NOT worth a contract ONLY WORTH after market price. Its like buying a behold 2 and thinking it would still be great device 6 months later.

Using Faster updates as a plus is stupid when there are only Froyo and GingerBread left in the year and then a years gap to the next update where will nexus one be? prolly behind Nexus 2 in the line up. Nexus One can only stay first for so long is what I am saying.

 

[grainysand]

So you, in all honesty, think the Slide will be receiving updates for longer than the Nexus. Or something. Yep, because that's very likely.

You're so smart I'm astonished you haven't yet cut yourself.

Samsung galaxy S beats the Nexus One spec wise. their 1ghz is much faster than Nexus One and they have better screen display 4inch Super AMOLED and much more internal memory try 8gb/16gb. Its okay I won't have to root to put all the apps I want in my phone with that internal memory.

Froyo supports official apps2sd, dummy.

Only thing Nexus has going right now is that its direct google supported. Thats soon to come to an end and you will see in due time I estimate after the release of Android gingerbread the Nexus is done receiving updates.

What, are you psychic? Oh, and since Samsung doesn't make their kernels open-source, guess which phone between the Nexus and the Galaxy S will have a bigger developer community to build custom ROMs and kernels for it? Try on that common sense you keep bleating about, sweetheart.

Nexus One DOESN'T EVEN HAVE AN OFFICIAL 2.2 FROYO UPDATE YET. They have a BETA.

Compared to what phone that already has 2.2 update? Oh, that's right. None. Gosh, boy, you sure are sharp.

Getting supported faster don't make you cooler. It doesn't give you any bragging rights when other phones already caught up with it already.

"Caught up with it"... five-six months after it's been out? Okay, sure. Whatever you say, kiddo.

1ghz doesn't make you cooler if a lesser processor runs just as fast. 1ghz snapdragon is nothing but a processor that will soon had served its time.

Do you have to work hard at being this dense or is it an inborn talent? Did you get a degree for it? Are you just bitter because you failed to do some research and now you're stuck with a piece-of-shit Samsung phone that'll never see even the remotest glimpse of 2.1, much less 2.2? Sounds like it.

I think what you're failing to understand is that the Nexus One IS the better phone between the 2. Unless he needs a physical keyboard, I don't see how u can argue that the Slide is better than the Nexus One, spec wise of course. You keep saying the Nexus isn't that great anymore because everything else is topping it's specs. Ok, but do you realize that the Nexus has already topped the Slide?

 

[ivanzorkic]

Yeah I thought all android users were intelligent too until you just replied with that comment. You must be stupid.

you lack common sense of which most Android users have.

You need to get a clue on how stupid it is to lock yourself into a 2 YEAR CONTRACT with something that at MOST will last only 1 YEAR MORE! maybe even less.

Nexus One will outlast Mytouch based on spec and ability. I don't get it - even if it stopped getting updates after a year and Mytouch didn't, Nexus would still be more capable, powerful, enjoyable. Larger screen, much larger screen resolution, much faster CPU, etc. What does a 2 year contract have to do with anything? You act as if after a year, Nexus will become useless just because there are better phones out there and MyTouch (which is already behind the curve) won't - because it's newer? And your advice is to get MyTouch????

I honestly don't get it - would you rather have a high-end Mercedes from last year or this year's low-end Skoda?

Besides, Google announced that after Ginger, future updates will mostly be through market - and will not be carrier pushed. In other words, your phone's ability to run them will be spec based. Meaning: Nexus will certainly outlast MyTouch.

 

[lyons238]

the nexus one has multi touch issues. it inverts where your fingers are on the screen. you can find videos on youtube proving this. you should be able to find it by searching nexus multitouch or multitouch issues

but i still think its better than the mytouch imo

Which would you rather have? a FREE car that gets you from point a to b, you can test drive it before to see if you like it and still has money left for gas or actually pay for something that is known to have quite a few issues, that you can't test drive and once you have it you are stuck?

The first one sounds like the best option to me and that would be a mytouch 3g slide

I would never buy something that I would have to rely on, and can't even test it at the time to make sure it works as described.

I would rather take a free mid range phone on contract and save the money for something better later on down the road because what Tmobile has right now is crap and what T-mobile will be getting in the future is much better.

Its like buying that last year's mercede's when you could save that money by getting a free car and then buy a 100% new Mercedes and drive it out of the factory and still keep your free car as a back up if anything was to happen to that beautiful mercedes.

Nexus One is nothing compared to a mercedes btw its more of a lamborghini to me and by that I mean known mainly for the name, the specs are alright but there are others that keep up with it if not pass it such as a Corvette Zr1(real performance).

No I understand that nexus is better specs but not for a contract. Thats what you are not getting.

this person can get a free phone (MT3GS June 19th)that is just as good and still have extra money for the next thing once it comes out or maybe accessories or maybe the person has bills that need paying. Extra money is always good.

Not everyone is up for wasting money but I guess its the same way for saving money though apparently.

I am saying Nexus isn't worth it. Can't test it don't buy it. Golden rule for buying. Applies everywhere.

I apologize, I didn't take price into account. Of course, if you are happy with something that costs less, you should go with that option.

But in your previous posts, you didn't mention price as the reason not to get Nexus, you mentioned supposed lack of support in the future and how Mytouch was newer, therefore - better. I find both arguments to be faulty. As for the price argument - it is valid - not everyone is willing to pay for high-end, and that is more than understandable.

Yeah froyo supports a2sd but you only need a2sd if you have 512mb's internal memory or less. Galaxy S 8gb/16gb INTERNAL memory,

So does EVO. It doesn't matter. Internal memory is not app memory, its just like a built-in SD card. Both phones still have only several hundred Mb reserved for apps and need a2sd as much as any other Android phone.

Update: I see now that Samsung has 2Gb of app storage memory. That is quite nice. Still, its a first among Androids.

Galaxy S has 720p video recording WITHOUT having to root or custom rom. Galaxy S 1ghz processor has proven to be faster than nexus one's. 4inch Super Amoled screen which is said to be much more viewable in direct sunlight

And it came out 6 months after N1. Comparing them is not fair. How many devices had 720p recording at the time N1 came out? And still, even after half a year, N1 can hold its own. A good example of its quality.

Samsung Galaxy S is an amazing device with great hardware (and rip-off iPhone looks). It is most likely better than the also amazing Nexus One. In a few months, something even better than Galaxy S will come out. The cycle continues. I don't see your point? What does that have to do with Nexus vs Mytouch. 100 Samsung Galaxies could come out, Nexus One would still be better than Mytouch, no matter how you look at it.

Devices coming out now puts Nexus One to shame is my point here.

While Mytouch will remain perfect forever? I don't understand, latest high-end hardware will always be superior than the old hardware. But the old high-end hardware will still be superior to new low-end hardware for a year or so.

You only need Developers to make your product if your product is crap(NexusOne). Only thing Nexus has on Galaxy S is the flash on the camera.

Again, Samsung Galaxy S is better at most things than Nexus. It is newer. It probably costs more as well.

And Nexus One is - by all means - not crap. It is obvious you have some issues with N1. Nexus One faults are mostly Android faults. For example, Apps not installable on SD card - that is something that all Android devices have to deal with - until Froyo comes out. If you think that makes them crappy, then, I guess you should look for other platforms, such as Maemo, MeeGo, iOS4, WebOS, Bada, etc. Samsung will have all those issues as well.

I do all my research before talking crap unlike you. I'm sure you are a pro at talking crap with no merit. You can take your p.o.s. Nexus and shove its outdated specs you know where.

Haha. So much anger. You're the one who came in here claiming something without merit. Dissing a good device because a better one is coming out.

To sum up:

Samsung Galaxy S is a great device.
Nexus One is a great device.
Mytouch Slide is a great device - in no way better than N1.
Support for N1 will probably last much longer than you think and it will be the test bed for latest google technologies as long as it is capable (or until Nexus Two comes out, which - it seems - is not likely). Samsung will probably ditch Galaxy S when they make a better device - as they often do. Fortunately, its powerful hardware will let it stay competitive for a while and Google will have all Android phones' backs.

As for me, for the same price - I would go for Samsung over Nexus (mostly because of Super AMOLED), but if Nexus was sufficiently cheaper than Samsung (as I believe to be the case), I would get N1. It is a great device and I love the HTC design. I don't trust Samsung, tbh. I chose the Desire, however, as I like Sense, I like the design more - and N1 wasn't available in my country (which, kinda, left me no choice anyway

Apology accepted and I too apologize for not making much more clearer earlier.

 

[spiz]

Just wait until next month and get the Galaxy S. Better than both phones.

 

[lexluthor]

Assuming it actually does get released on T-Mobile, which no one really knows will happy for sure yet.

 

[2FR35H]

It has tmobiles 3g bands that noone else really uses our 3g

 

[BoogerSugar83]

The MT3G Slide sucks. the nexus one has been out longer and is still more powerful check the tech data. its all there.

 

[spiz]

Assuming it actually does get released on T-Mobile, which no one really knows will happy for sure yet.

Yeah, we do know it will happen for sure. Trust me.

 

[lexluthor]

How about a date then?

I wouldn't say the Slide sucks. It's a solid phone, just the Nexus has better specs on it.

 

[grainysand]

Haha. So much anger. You're the one who came in here claiming something without merit. Dissing a good device because a better one is coming out.

I know, right? I don't think the dude has issues with the Nexus; he has entire subscriptions. Still suspect he's just bitter he got the Behold 2.

Yeah froyo supports a2sd but you only need a2sd if you have 512mb's internal memory or less. Galaxy S 8gb/16gb INTERNAL memory, hell Galaxy S doesn't even need updates to make it good. even with stock 2.1 I would be able to store much more apps and do much more than your precious Nexus on 2.2 Froyo. Although haha Galaxy S too will be getting Froyo so it doesn't matter.

Oh, you actually believe Samsung will update their phone? My, you're gullible. I'd be surprised if it gets 2.2, but even if it does, chances are good it'll stop there. You know Samsung rarely pushes firmware updates, right, sweetie?

You only need Developers to make your product if your product is crap(NexusOne).

You sound like an Apple fantard. No, really. Developers bring so much to the table you can't even imagine. Looks like you're just ignorant about rooting and what it can do. And, uh, what part about "not releasing kernels" don't you get? Oh right, you don't get. Anything, really. It's okay, some people are just born that way, I guess.

I do all my research before talking crap unlike you. I'm sure you are a pro at talking crap with no merit. You can take your p.o.s. Nexus and shove its outdated specs you know where.

Yep, bitter, jealous fantard.

 

[leemarkin]

Nexus one, it's google. It gets the fastest update, slide only has a keyboard plus, not sufficient enough if you get used to swype
