Why Android - The Answer :)

Thanks guys,
because of this forum, the information you've been able to provide. I'm in all likelihood buying the N1 either tonight after I get home from the family/Easter thing or tomorrow.

I've compared the hardware between the two and I'd say that they're almost equal. The iPhone has some advantages over the N1 in some areas and the N1 has some advantages over the iPhone in other areas. Basically a wash in my book.

The software/OS is where I think the N1 excels over the iPhone, giving me a deeper set of options and choices in both the OS (rooting/roms) and applications (no wacky approval process).

There is still a number of unknowns, so much so that I'll have to give the N1 a good working over when it arrives, to finalize my decision. For instance it MUST be able to connect to my company's exchange/activesysnc servers. Given the information provided here, I believe I shouldn't run into issues.

Thanks for putting up my noob posts and questions.
 
You're welcome. I'd be interested to know how you feel once you've got used to your new phone (couple of weeks maybe). Come back and let us know how you feel it compares.
 
ahh so many people getting n1's.. i'm still stuck on my g1 (not that i don't like.. just kinda outdated..) i'm sure you'll love your n1 in a few weeks.
 
You will definitely get the iphone out of your head after opening like six programs and being able to "quickly" revert back to them without loss of data. I never looked back since getting my N1.

My girlfriend loves it too with the multitask and rooted led flash as a flashlight. superbright.
 
I don't know what comes on the N1, but Touchdown works great on my G1 for an Exchange client. very customizeable, nice UI, etc. cheap enough if you need it, free trial too!
 
I for one am waiting for the HTC Desire.I just get annoyed at the fact that ATT takes so long in introducing android models and i am even thinking of jumping ship to lets say T Mobile.I guess they don't want to upset Apple thus taking a lot longer introducing these phones. To me, even including the iPhone, ATT has the most outdated line up of handsets in the market. Why the europeans always seem to get the latest and greatest before us in the "new world"?
 
You may never get it. The HTC Desire, in its current form, is only dual-band for 3G connections. For 3G (WCDMA/HSPA) it uses 900/2100 Mhz, which, as far as I know, isn't used in the US.

ATT uses 850/1900.

Of course, they may release a US version of it.
 
My bad - I was using this source, and didn't see AT&T mentioned next to 2100: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands
