Google Nexus One & HTC Desire.

[Casanova]

Are of course officially released!

They're really amazing phones, obviously they're the same phone with different casings. The differance is literally between pixel resolution on the screen's. That's all I can actually find, and even then it's about 30 pixels!

In my opinion the HTC desire is better because an optical trackball is more trustworthy than a roller ball, plus the desire feel's a bit more smooth.

Pricing wise, the nexus one is on the same pricing as the Iphone - as in to get a nexus one, it's on the same tariff's as the Iphone. I'd say the desire is better value for money.

here are some of the stat's. Be warned these phones are of course... an iphone killer :) They're more powerful, they operate on eclair android 2.1 (with over 70% of their applications being FREE), the snapdragon processor's are 424 mhz more powerful so overall it'll be faster to multitask than the iphone... i really love them!

I've been using a Nexus One for quite a while now. It rocks, and I'm happy I have the Google phone!

I like how you added in 'Google' to emphasise not apple haha. Clever :)

Isn't the Nexus One better? HTC are hopeless with updates, while a Nexus One gets any updates both minor and major the moment Google kicks them out, making it future-proof :)

Obviously Nexus One is made by google, so obviously it would get updates first :L

The HTC Desire has the SenseUI and very slightly better hardware, the updates aren't really factored in once you get root and a custom ROM on there, you'll usually beat Google to releasing the final version of the latest OS anyway!!

Well, I have an Apple iMac, but saying something is made by Google just gives me a thrill :P

I've ordered my new contract with this phone today! Hope to get it at my house on Tuesday, if I pass the fraud and credit checks they do :)

it has 64mb more ram ontop of an already 512, not exactly what I'd called amazingly better ;)
