Their initial impressions of the DROID said a lot more than what they said for the N1. The fact that he verbally said it didn't blow him away can't be a good sign. Granted, he's an staunch iPhone user, so anything less than that will result in a ho-hum initial impression. Although, again, when he got his hands on the DROID, he was pretty impressed. Other than the form factor, it didn't sound like the N1 provided him anything beyond what the DROID had offered previously. I thought the video of the N1 FC'ing was a big fail, but apparently, the other N1 hands-on with a couple of the "live" wallpapers resulted in the same FC. Google better fix that before launch. I will await CES for something awesome because right now, I'm not impressed by this offering.
