When the Nexus One was released, many believed that no device can go near it for a while. We didn’t have to wait for a long time for another great device to come out, though. Modaco was fast enough to tell that the HTC Desire was going to be announced at the Mobile World Congress at Barcelona.
This is good news for Filipinos. This might be the counterpart of the Nexus One that Mark Sergio, HTC’s country manager, was talking about. The software is the big difference between Desire and Nexus One. Desire has Flash 10.1, HTC’s Sense UI, and FM radio support. To be clear, Engadget reports that the Nexus One has the hardware to support FM radio so this is a software issue.
Like many others, I predicted that the software differences won’t matter very much. A while ago, Paul from Modaco successfully loaded the HTC Desire ROM on the Nexus One. It won’t take long before the ROM becomes publicly available, and Nexus One owners could be enjoying the goodness of HTC Desire even before it hits the stores.
Hardware wise, the differences of the devices that I am aware of so far are the following (HTC Desire vs. Android)

During the Consumer Electronics Show, I took a bunch of pictures with the Google Nexus One handset and it performed admirably. The flash was ideal in very low light setting although after a few meters away from your subject, the value decreases quickly. But I’m already getting questions about the video capability of the device. I was going to shoot a comparison between the iPhone 3GS and the Nexus One, but my friends at NewTeeVee beat me to the punch. There you can see two videos to compare.
Their verdict? The Nexus One offers better clarity, but the iPhone 3GS handles the white balance better. I’m not surprised by the video quality, though — the Nexus One captures 720 x 480 up to 20 fps while the iPhone 3GS grabs 640 x 480 up to 30 fps. For fast-moving action, the iPhone may trump the Nexus One. But for basic scenery with little to no movement — quite common for my cats, as you’ll see — the Nexus One offers a solid experience. And just like the iPhone, I was able to upload the file directly to YouTube, although I was cautioned that “large” files can only be sent over Wi-Fi.

It’s been a week since Google launched their “super phone” called Nexus One, and that means it’s time to analyze the fallout.
There is no denying that Google has one of the sexiest, and powerful Android devices available anywhere. Early reviews rave about it’s brilliant screen, unbelievable sound quality and lightning speed. There’s only one problem: The Nexus One release was less about the phone and more about the process.

Less than a week ago, Google introduced its own Android phone, the Nexus One. Over the weekend, we got a chance to take the phone through its paces and while we aren’t quite ready to give up our iPhone yet, the Nexus One is a formidable challenger. Apple will clearly have to step up its game with the next iPhone if it wants to hold off Android’s momentum. In terms of features, the Nexus One is already on par with the iPhone platform and beats it in many areas. When it comes to the overall user experience, the iPhone is still a step ahead of the Android platform, but that could easily change in the near future.

The Nexus One is out and it’s faster than the iPhone and the Droid, but speed isn’t everything and the iPhone has beat all competitors in one of the most important areas – touchscreen accuracy.
A test carried out by labs.MOTO.com pitted the iPhone, HTC Droid Eris, Motorola Droid, and Google Nexus One against each other in a simple touchscreen test. MOTO used a line drawing application that would clearly show which smartphone has the most accurate capacitive touchscreen.

Speaking of mobile phones, the new Nexus One Android device is a great way to take Google Apps with you everywhere. Nexus One not only syncs with multiple Gmail accounts, but it also syncs your contacts, with Google Calendar and with Picasa Web Albums. Nexus One lets you instant message using Google Talk and access voicemail — including handy message transcriptions — with the Google Voice app.
Google Inc took the wraps off the first of its smartphones on Tuesday, a device with speech recognition that it hopes can take on Apple’’s iPhone over time and help shore up the company dominance in Internet advertising. Analysts say the phone — to be sold directly to consumers — is not expected to dramatically alter the carrier-hardware vendor relationship the industry relies on, nor is it likely to yield a revenue windfall in the short term, though executives said it could be profitable.

If, while perusing the Nexus One teardown, you were doing a mental tally of just how much each internal part may cost, here’s your chance to compare your numbers to some professionally obtained figures.
iSuppli reports a preliminary estimate of $174.15 for the cost of materials needed to build each handset. The research firm also congratulates Google on keeping a bill of materials comparable to most recent smartphones while having “the most advanced features of any smart phone ever dissected by iSuppli’s Teardown Analysis Service.”

So smartphone hardware is smartphone hardware right? They probably all use the same capacitive touch screen parts from the same suppliers in China right?
Actually no. And this test from MOTO proves it. According to their (frankly a bit unscientific) tests, the capacitive touch screens from Motorola and HTC aren’t nearly as accurate as the one that Apple uses in the iPhone. Whether this is related to software or hardware isn’t certain, but it is clear that Apple’s iPhone has a distinctive lead in touch screen accuracy, which in turn leads to a better touch and typing experience. Perhaps this is yet another example of Apple’s hardware/software integration proving to be an advantage.

Google’s Nexus One is going to be available in the next couple of weeks on Vodafone in the UK and we’ve already managed to have a play with the Android 2.1 touting handset.
The new phone, which is solid and well built brings with it a number of new features over and above the previous Android flagship the Motorola Droid/Milestone.
Thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset the menu interface was zippy and fast, however it’s also worth pointing out that while made by HTC it doesn’t and won’t feature the company’s Sense UI.

The Nexus One is at its core just another Android smartphone. It’s a particularly good one, don’t get us wrong — certainly up there with the best of its breed — but it’s not in any way the Earth-shattering, paradigm-skewing device the media and community cheerleaders have built it up to be. It’s a good Android phone, but not the last word — in fact, if we had to choose between this phone or the Droid right now, we would lean towards the latter. Of course, if Google’s goal is to spread Android more wide than deep, maybe this is precisely the right phone at the right time: class-leading processor, vibrant display, sexy shell, and just a sprinkling of geekiness that only Google could pull off this effortlessly.

Engadget, once again, has one of the first comprehensive review of one of the hottest mobiles at the moment: Google’s Nexus One. Joshua Topolsky gives the Nexus One high points on design and feel of the hardware and noted the very powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, which is still hard to come by in mobiles. The AMOLED display holds a special place among the Nexus One’s honors, with a few minor drawbacks:
“In terms of touch sensitivity, the display is as good or better than any Android phone we’ve used. While the resolution is high (480 x 800), it’s missing 48 pixels that we expected given the size of the Droid’s screen. It didn’t bother us that much, but it’s noticeable in certain apps — Gmail for instance, where you have to scroll further in some menus than you do on the Droid. The big issue with the screen, though, is actually the color balance. We found colors on the Nexus One, particularly in the reds and oranges, to be severely blown-out and oversaturated — a common effect with AMOLED displays like the Nexus One’s.”
