Do you feel burned knowing Nexus One is here soon ? (Google-Phone)

[bufbarnaby]

It has all the things I like including no slider , faster CPU , super thin and sexy , OLED high-res screen.

Not to mention a newer version of Android than we have (2.1) I bet it will have BT voice dialing too ; ) Google would`nt screw that up like Moto did.

And I can almost guarantee you the battery cover wont fall off and the camera will take better quality photos ; )

a voice-to-text feature is supposed to let you dictate emails and notes by speaking directly into the phone.

no, but i do on the other hand feel burned that the nokia x10 will be out as well as the HTC Dragon/passion/bravo (1ghz qualcom processor) will be coming out. but then again your probably going to be looking at 500+  min for these phones.

I returned my MotoDroid hoping for this new phone to come out.  Didnt like the physical keyboard.  If i dont see it coming to Verizon, i will feel burned!!!

I have my fingers crossed...hopefully the HTC PassionC (CDMA?) will be here next month

[bufbarnaby]

I love my DROID...esp. since it is on the best network. But honestly , I only use the slider for games occasionally (D-pad)

Google is supposed to directly sell a CDMA version at some point. I bet they subsidize it somewhat also.

The next step is you only will need a data plan , and with Gizmo5 which Google bought , you will make low-cost or free calls over VOIP thanks to Google.

Not at all. Very much like the myTouch, the Droid is a sturdy long lasting piece of hardware. I'm happy with mine, and if the GPhone does come out in the future -- I can way for my NE2 to buy another Android phone they'll release that'll be better

[fezzik]

Nope I very much don't feel burned cause I don't see a need to be on a GSM network either one of them.  Especially with the replacement next year.  I'll be fine till my NE2 when I get a phone with a dual core processor and thought to type.  LOL.

[bkfist]

No, not at all.

If you are constantly waiting around for the next great thing, you never get anywhere.  Take what you can get, when you can get it, and upgrade later if it's really THAT much better.

I'm happy to have had an Android phone now for a little over 2 months in total, and look forward to what will be available about this time next year.

[grvthang]

I'[m with you.  I don't change my phone every six months just to be sure I have the latest thing.

[snorkel]

Pretty sure the Nexus One will be GSM only.  CDMA is going to be dead anyway when they go to LTE.

GSM based systems are the standard around the world, not CDMA.

It will probably support all the Tmobile and AT&T freqs in a single version of the phone.

1700mhz so Tmobile only or at least in its current form.

[3gEng5]

Snorkel, you need to get your tech facts straight. CDMA isn't dead, its what all 3G is based on.

ATT and TMO, etc, use WCDMA for their 3G service. Verizon and Sprint use EVDO (a different type of CDMA).

LTE is an advanced form of CDMA based on OFDMA.

At the 3G level its no longer GSM vs CDMA, its one flavor of CDMA vs another.

GSM  - which is the old GPRS and EDGE stuff - is based on TDMA (time division instead of code division) and it just can't give you the data speeds that CDMA based systems can.

BufBarnaby:

No. I gave up feeling burnedwhen  I bought my 4th Moto brick phone in 1996 and the Star Tac came out a month later. Droid Eris is just fine, hopefully better with the coming updates. You can't afford to keep "The Latest Thing".  (Almost) No one can.

Supitsmike:

Yer posting style is just fine, keep it up. The truth has a bad habit of hurting.

Not burned, but very warm and fuzzy.

My DROID, is an experience we have just begun what will be long and happy relationship, even when the road is bumpy and problems arise.

I walked into the DROID with my eyes wide open and the knowledge that with technology if I purchase a deivce in the morning someone will release an improved model in the afternoon.

The cutting edge moves at lightening speed.

No i dont feel cheated because its the same phone as the droid except for no keyboard. The software is practically identical. The droid is fast enough so i dont  think the snapdragon is going to make that much of a difference. I mean really, how fast do you want your phone to be? The droid is too fast for me now and don't forget about android 2.1. When that is released, it will be like getting a  new phone all over again. Don't forget this phone has got so much support behind it that it is not even funny. So you will see more updates, more changes and way better apps in the future.

Not to mention that with the sales of the Droid which by all indications has been pretty darned good the  attention Android is getting will just further the development and progress that much faster.  The fact that the Droid got a Vanilla unmodified version of the Android OS means that we will likely get updates much faster.  That is a very good thing.  By the 2 year mark we may not be getting updates anymore but it will be time for us to start being frustrated again.

I do feel burned.  Even though I just picked up the Eris last week, I love 96 out of 100 things about, and those 4 things were things that the rumored HTC Dragon/Nexas1 would have fixed.

Like I said, love my Eris but would have been evenhappier with the Dragon.

Forgetting the small grammar mistakes, take whatever you just said, And type in any Phone/Manufaturer and anyone can say that. Fact is the Nexus is gonna be out and a few months later a better phone will come out. It's still Android Bare bones, so you'll get the same functionality -- heck you'll even get that update (Flan 2.1). But, you just have to be satisfied with what you have now.

Supitsmike,

I think you have a good bit of knowledge of the Android phones. You have even helped me out a time or two. For that I would like to thank you. I do however need to mention that when you say things like "Forgetting the small grammar mistakes" it is somewhat annoying. I don't believe that people come on here to be corrected about their grammar. Most people are on here looking for advice or sharing their experiences. Nothing more, nothing less. I may be alone in feeling this way, but felt the need to say it. Please just stick to advice. There is no need to disparage people.

[techspert]

I wouldn't say burned since I didn't pick anything up yet, but quite agitated.  I saw the pictures back in October and I held tight, only to find out it's going somewhere else.  Crap.  Didn't like the Droid and I don't want a keyboard.  Love the Eris in most part because I love HTC's build and their Sense UI, but 3.2" is just too small of a display size, plus HVGA isn't good enough.  I want an HTC high-end Android phone, no keyboard, with a screen size in the 3.7" or so range with WVGA resolution.  Thought this was coming in the near future based on rumor mill, but clearly what I thought was Verizon-bound is not.  Love everything about the Nexus One except the lame duck mobile provider.  Keep waiting, I guess.
