More on Google’s Nexus One

January 11th, 2010 · 1 Comment

Last week we posted an article regarding Google’s Nexus One. This post has been hugely popular and brought a lot of attention to our blog as many readers passed in on – emails, Facebook, Twitter and many other social media sites. We’ve decided to write a follow up article about the Nexus One vs myTouch and the Nexus One vs G1. nexus one vs iphone vs mytouch 3g

Quick G1 Review: I use the G1 and ever since they did the first firmware update to Cupcake Android, the phone functions much better. The keyboard is excellent – the size is perfect and very responsive. There are many apps in the Android marketplace that can be downloaded for free. The trackball is easy to use and the touchscreen on the G1 phone is intuitive. The only option I’m not a fan of is adding a contact, maybe there’s a G1 app to fix this? It seems there are a few extra steps in adding a contact, I just rather grab a business card and add it later. Quick myTouch 3g Review: I have explored the myTouch and seen many of the functions work well. The operating system of the myTouch 3g is basically the same as the G1 Android; however, the myTouch 3g has a faster processor. It’s weird to think of a phone in terms of processor speed, but that’s where we’re headed. Cellphones are becoming our portable computers and demand speed and multi program use. The myTouch does this job great. The only problem I have is that there is no keypad, only a touch screen. That might work well for you, but I need a real keyboard for typing texts, emails, and searching the web. These quick reviews are only a few bullet points to compare the G1 and myTouch 3g. Now once you get the differences down and fully understand we now have the Google Nexus One phone. There are many websites and blogs comparing the Nexus One with the G1 Android and the Nexus One vs mytouch 3g. The Nexus One is Google’s brand new phone and few users actually have used this phone. It’s rumored that Google passed out the Nexus One to many of Google employees to work out the kinks and it’s ready to hit the market.
