First of all, I am no iphone fanboy. I am attracted to Android like you guys do. Just that I do not understand why shahz is so overwhelmed by Nexus One. It is as overated as Iphone. Tell me what is so powerful for Nexus one compare to other phone?

As for multitouch, Droid Eris has multitouch why not Nexus One if it is the best phone for Android?

Shahz you did not answer me on my question on Droid Eris' multitouch. Droid Eris has multitouch why Nexus One has none? (to gstoh, Droid Eris is Android phone in US by HTC and Verizon). Personally I think Nexus One is too overated based on what you guys say. What make N1 so special? There is no real technology breakthrough like Iphone did that deserve such a overated support.
AMOLED? Samsung I7500 is the first Android AMOLED phone launched way back in April last year.
Snapdragon and More RAM? HD2 has Snapdragon. The performance of N1 with this spec only can archive the speed of Iphone 3GS with much lower clock. The performance of Android is spotty with Droid (which has the same spec as Iphone 3GS) because Android is built on Java. BTW using clockspeed to define a powerful phone is already last generation (remember Pentium 4?).
Android Market? It has been crippled compared to Iphone Appstore. Fewer apps, not internationally assessable.

To me, N1 is a good phone with a relatively cheaper price too but also a sign of Google showing its evil tail. Google is selling this phone as the Google phone for few reasons:
1. The Android manufacturer is reluctant to update their device and the Google phones are the way Google whip them to update their phone by challenging their products with always updated Android phone.
2. Google Checkout has been a failure due to Paypal. People are using Paypal more than Google Checkout and Google is using the name of Android to bring out Google Checkout. I personally used Paypal for a lot times but Google Checkout only this once.
3. Google phone is the phone to promote Google product like Google Map, Google Voice, Google Earth, Google Navigation and Google Goggles.
4. Make use of its fan base to heighten up their reputation

For those like Shahz who think Android is the triumph in the future, I doubt it will be based on several reasons:
1. Android is chasing the tail of Iphone OS with Iphone continuously making breakthrough, setting the standard and getting their patent.
2. Google has no real intention of making Android. (They do not put money to advertise and real breakthrough need lotsa money thats why Iphone is expensive)
3. Google core business is information based not computer product. Android is another platform for them to utilise their product.
4. If Android fails, they still have ChromeOS.
5. Most importantly, they have capture the wrong fans like Shahz who think Android is powerful because it can customize, mod and hack (and not iphone of course). Yes, Android at its failing point because of you guys. No one really wanna put money to promote and heighten the core competencies of Android because you guys view Android is another Google phone rather than a HTC phone or a Samsung phone or a Motorola phone. These handphone manufacturer still need to compete between each other even they has Android phone series. If they put in cash to invest (like advertising and develop unique apps locked to their phones), and you guys hacked it and put it in other Android phone, its lost of investment for them. It is the real scenario now. Later I will see Xperia x10 UI ported into a HTC Bravo or Motoblur from Motorola ported into this Nexus One. Because of that too they dont wanna invest in multitouch. If they wanna put multitouch in their phone is easy, they just need to pay royalty to Apple. Verizon paid the royalty thats why Droid Eris got it. But why other phone manufacturer dont wanna pay for that? Because paying for that does not buy them the competitive advantage as you guys can hack it into multitouch in any Android phone.

End. To make Android win in this situation, drop the hacking and modding part, it is spoiling Android ecosystem. Develop more apps for Android and urge Google to open Android Market internationally to compete with Appstore. Google must play a part to do a breakthrough. Phone manufacturer must be ready to invest.
