OMG, this reviewer is quite the douche nozzle.

Actually a pretty decent review. Tells you about actually using the phone, and not "phone has a resolution of 480x67439231, and a X type screen with yada yada yada".

This was some funny shit. *quality review

Hmm, I hadn't thought about the copy/paste thing. On the Droid you can hold down the Shift key and drag your finger over any text you want to copy. It even copies automatically, so no menus are needed. I'm surprised he didn't even mention the built in navigation or voice-to-text features.

Eye Candy: Mostly pointless, but it's important to some people. The animations don't really get in the way, but they can be turned off if desired.

Pinch Zoom: Probably useful, but I mostly operate my phone with one thumb anyway, and the controls are intuitive enough. I don't think it is specifically a patent issue though. Other US phones have it, as does the European version of Droid. There are free apps that use it, and it can be enabled in the map with a little work.

Apps: The store could be better, but you can search it easily enough. I am curious what functionality he is missing from the iPhone apps though.

App Switcher: I could be wrong, but I think it shows the six most recently opened apps. I would like it to show more than six, but there are plenty of free apps that show more if needed.


I never owned an iPhone so I can't really comment on the differences. I hear that Apple isn't playing well with Adobe, so no Flash support for the iPhone. It should be available on just about everything else some time in 2010 (according to Adobe). On the upside, the iPhone does appear to have the most accurate finger tracking of the three phones.

The Nexus does have the fastest cpu so far (that I know of) at ~1Ghz. I wouldn't give up my keyboard for it though. Maybe they can put it to some good use with more support for voice commands and language translation (Droid and Nexus already have some translation... speak to it in english and it will audibly translate to other languages, but it is limited currently). Otherwise it's only good for animations and flash games.

I look forward to the current batch of phones being obsolete by the end of the year. Competition is always a good thing. =)


Notes: Google Goggles is great, and Verizon's network does let you use the 3G internet while talking on the phone, despite what AT&T's commercials state.

but this one's bigger!

normally a phone review would put me to sleep in under 30 seconds but this one was funny. i liked it

Great review! I want to know how people feel about new gizmos, and what they miss from their old phones. Not boring old specs, that doesn't really tell me anything. This guy gets it!

Wow, I really haven't followed this phone much, but it's nothing that HTC didn't do 2 years ago with the Touch Pro. Touch Pro with SPB mobile shell looks the exact same, has a slide out keyboard and touch screen, and did it long ago...

Not trying to be a snob, just disappointed.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

This was a really entertaining review. I'd like to see more from this guy.
