If you had to choose now, which one - Nexus or Desire?

N1 because all the apps from the sense UI will soon be available in .apk format, which mean we'll get the fast updates and still be able to choose which aspect of the sense we need. Win win for us.

Nexus just for the noise cancelling - can testify standing almost next to a bagpiper on westminster bridge yesterday trying to locate the rest of my camera club lol..

Nexus, for many reasons:

- available to me NOW
- carrier-free OS
- unbranded by carrier

I dont get this. You still have to sign up with a carrier for service. So you are still dealing with a carrier.

But you can leave anytime you want without an ETF and you can bring the phone to another carrier.

Isnt it only GSM? That leaves only 2 carriers and both are sub par. Cant wait tlll this is made available for Sprint and Verizon.

Well there are other carriers that uses GSM in the U.S., but they're below par. It's really about options. I don't mind getting into a contract with Verizon to get the Nexus One cheaper--that 20% off my monthly bill makes it worthwhile.

Nexus One for one simple reason:

I have it in my hand now.

Honestly, though, the Desire does not have anything that would make me want to wait or dump my Nexus. When I had my G1 and MyTouch, I was always looking for the next best ROM. Now, with the Nexus, I have everything I need/want and it's still stock.

That's a rare thing for me. No, it's not perfect, but it's close enough to keep me happy as is and I'm impressed just for that.

With Sense working on the Nexus One now why would anyone need to go for the Desire if they already had an N1?

 

[SnotF]

the only reason why i would vote n1 is cause all the problems we are having now, hopefully will be worked out expeditiously. the desire is just coming out, and will probably have its own set of problems to work through. no "sense"(haw, haw) in trading in one set of problems for another, imho.
