			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now if I make the time to do it, I intend to write a cohesive review of my two week switch to the Google Nexus One.</p>
<p>In the meanwhile, here are my notes from <a href="http://twitter.com/rakeshagrawal/">twitter</a>.  For context, I switched from the iPhone, which I&#8217;ve used since the day it launched in 2007:</p>
<p><UL><br />
<LI>Feels good to be back in Delhi, catching up on email at the moment. Using Nexus One (with multitouch) while I&#8217;m here &#8212; I like it!</li>
<p><LI>Using the Google Nexus One on Airtel in India http://bit.ly/9aDLSr</li>
<p><LI>One of the things N1 could do better is text entry and editing. Predictive isn&#8217;t as good, and I miss iPhone cursor locator.</li>
<p><LI>When my Nexus One is plugged into 240V here in India, it feels like a charge is trickling into my hand from the back&#8230; weird.</li>
<p><LI>I like the way the browser on the nexus one/android zooms to a column of text. It works.</li>
<p><LI>Keeping track of cell phone numbers for family in Delhi is a pain.</li>
<p><LI>The nexus one needs auto brightness adjustment. Screen&#8217;s barely readable in daylight.</li>
<p><LI>Can the nexus one email multiple photos on a single email? Doesn&#8217;t look like it.</li>
<p><LI>I really like how voicemail just isn&#8217;t very common here in India. Few people have voicemail on their phones.</li>
<p><LI>People who use their cell phones as their primary cameras&#8230; it makes me sad.</li>
<p><LI>No multi touch in the nexus one&#8217;s pdf viewer app.</li>
<p><LI>Wish there was a way to switch the from address when composing a message on the nexus one/android. Is there?</li>
<p><LI>Cool &#8212; my iPhone&#8217;s ear bud headphones + mic work with the Nexus One.</li>
<p><LI>While the Android / Nexus One&#8217;s touch keyboard works, the iPhone&#8217;s is better.</li>
<p><LI>Nexus One&#8217;s trackball is interesting. Too often an up scroll leads to my touching bottom of the glass (ie home button)</li>
<p><LI>I wish Nexus One/Android had an easier way to turn wifi on and off. Has to be an elegant way to layer quick settings into phone ui.</li>
<p><LI>Nexus One / Android&#8217;s browser needs to prevent double periods when I&#8217;m entering a URL (happens when I use the .com button). iPhone does it.</li>
<p><LI>I&#8217;ve had to re-program to lookup names by first name instead of last name on the Nexus One. One of my many iPhone-user habits.</li>
<p><LI>I CAN JUST DRAG ANY MP3 FROM MY COMPUTER TO MY ANDROID NEXUS ONE? NO ITUNES SYNC? OMG. IPHONE=FAIL.</li>
<p><LI>Ha, Nexus One uses last accessed Gmail account as &#8216;from&#8217; address when you share a photo by email. Random.</li>
<p><LI>Gmail client in Android on my Nexus One needs a &#8220;more details&#8221; for mail header so I can not only see date of email but also time.</li>
<p><LI>Search on Nexus One / Android is messed. When you refine a search, keyboard takes you to field on bottom of page. Happened to me 3-4 times.</li>
<p><LI>I wish bookmarks were closer at hand in browser on Nexus One. Oh wait&#8230; clicking star does the trick. Thought it was like star in chrome.</li>
<p><LI>The Gmail client on Android / Nexus One is awesome. For Google Apps and Gmail users, no better mobile email client.</li>
<p><LI>No native iPhone &#8216;Notes&#8217; equivalent on Nexus One, but no biggie &#8212; I loaded Evernote app and it works (and is better).</li>
<p><LI>While it&#8217;s much better than I saw on the Droid and G1, Android on my Nexus One is still susceptible to random freezes/stalls.</li>
<p><LI>I don&#8217;t miss a lot app-wise on my Nexus One. Facebook app is way inferior to the iPhone FB app. Certainly seems to be less there.</li>
<p><LI>PS dear Nexus One, please stop changing app to apparently! I really mean app! Then again, unlike iPhone, you don&#8217;t misspell my name Rajesh.</li>
<p><LI>Just ordered the Nexus One dock (had to logmein to a PC in the States and order it from there to get around geo-restrictions &#8211; wack!)</li>
<p><LI>Back on my iPhone. Feels more polished. Miss having a period on the keyboard without hitting shift.</li>
<p><LI>Return to iPhone means return at AT&#038;T. 6 failed calls in a row. Yay!</li>
<p></UL></p>
<p>As an aside, Matt Cutts posted some notes on &#8220;<a href="http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/switch-iphone-to-android/">Leaving the iPhone</a>&#8221; and I agreed with some of what he had to say.  Read what his post if you&#8217;re looking for another perspective (though keep in mind that he does work for Google).</p>
<p><strong>Summary of my iPhone to Nexus One switch</strong>: The Nexus One matches the iPhone in almost all areas and even beats in it some other areas.  But it lacks the iPhone&#8217;s software polish and that last 5-10% of simplicity, so I&#8217;d only selectively recommend it to family members.  But it&#8217;s a great phone and, personally, I&#8217;d love to use it exclusively (I don&#8217;t because it&#8217;s hard to switch carriers here in the U.S.)</p>
