Should one buy the N1 ?
sandofsky: I've had my Nexus One for four days now.The hardware itself is outstanding. The screen is gorgeous, I like the haptic feedback, and there are lots of nice touches like the trackball that lights up.The software has a few great points too. The voice recognition is incredible. I like having the choice to run background apps.This is also my first Android phone. After hearing early complaints about the OS, I thought I'd put it off until it's fully baked. The fact 2.1 was touted as a great OS update gave me the feeling it's time to try it out.Well, I can say there are a lot of annoyances that are piling up.Scrolling, especially flick scrolling, is inferior to iPhone 1.0. It's jerky and fickle.The onscreen keyboard feel less accurate. I don't mean the predictive typing, I mean the prediction of what keys I'm trying to hit.Navigating text fields is bad. When the voice recognition gets one word wrong, it's a pain to go back and fix it.No multitouch. This is a pain in maps or zooming in on a web page. I know there are patent concerns, but as an end user, I don't care.In general, I feel like the OS is half done. Someone cranked out a feature and performed zero refinement. I have to load a submenu to stop loading a web page? I would sacrifice wizz-bang features like voice recognition to fix all these little annoyances.I'm going to give the phone a few more days. If I still haven't adjusted, I'm selling it.
