No I don't really disagree, just wanted to point out that it's not all that bad for the N1, especially if you factor in the non-trivial aspect of underlying software (just as much a part of the consumer experience as hardware performance). You have to contrast this with how the Dream/Sapphire/Droid/Xperia-X10 held up against time some 6 months after release. In all likelihood, the N1 will be the first to receive Gingerbread around x-mas and will have a blast running it.
Internal memory is a non-issue, just throw in a larger microSD card - internal flash is really mostly for bootstrapping purposes (radio, recovery, system...). CyanogenMod adds 720p HD video to the N1, same as on the Desire and Evo. And really, aren't we done comparing cameras by magapixels by now? ;) /Casper On Aug 9, 4:20 pm, Dick Wall <[email protected]> wrote: > Well, sure in terms of processor benchmark the N1 is right up there, > and make no mistake, I love mine, however, the latest crop of phones > improve on the N1 in many ways, for example: > > much more internal memory - 8 or 16 gigs is now the norm, plus SD card > expandability.
