It's quite amazing how few NexusOne owners, actually seem to know anything about their phone, such as about how long it can record video for, whether there are any work around for the lack of Google software.
I want a NexusOne, make no mistake, but the Desire seems at least initially better supported out of the box with various N97 apps. Im not even sure if I should make the jump yet because at least my N97 gives me 32 gig on board memory, 5MP camera, 1hr 30m video recording etc.
Google meanwhile have released an awesome phone in the way of the N97, then seemed to have limited the video recording app, only support 3GP recording, 20fps in low light, no mention of 720P HD Recording or DivX support (as is rumoured for the HTC Desire), no FM Radio, and no support for the alledged built in Wireless N and FM Transmitter. Just the above paragraph would stop me getting a NexusOne (and possibly a Desire because at this stage, Im confused between whether this is an OS issue, app issue, or driver issue, about how the Desire can support it and the NexusOne can't...).
Still, I would be hoping you guys will know the answer.
So I put together a list of pros and cons between the desire and nexus (keeping everything positive):
Nexus One Pros:
Cons:
Rumoured 2G/3G Issues (Im in the UK on O2 where 3G coverage is patchy at best and routinely bounces between GSM, Edge, 3G and 3.5G)
Lack of App Support by Google for its Own Device
HTC Desire Pros:
