iPhone 3GS Vs Google Nexus One
Google has just announced that they are indeed going to release their own smartphone (that’s the hardware) running on the Google Android mobile OS (that’s the software) and this comparison is to find out if it really is an “iPhone on steroids” as the Twitter feeds call it. Or more to the point – whether or not Apple and the iPhone 3GS should finally be quaking in its boots.
The Google Nexus One, as it’s been dubbed, has an capacitative touchscreen occupying the better part of its face (a la’ the iPhone) with a scroll ball beneath it (re: scroll ball vs. track pad, we say choice of multipurpose navigational control is kind of a personal preference).
One thing that makes the Nexus One so hot is that it comes GSM unlocked, which means that you are free to use it with whatever wireless carrier you choose. Now isn’t that a long-overdue sigh of relief? Uh, hello Apple? We’re waiting (tic-toc, tic-toc)…That said, the Nexus One is only a GSM phone. That means no HSDPA (if that matters to you).

Google Nexus One Versus Apple 3GS – Which Do I Choose
Boy these are both great phones, and this is the new technology here in the present period, both game changers in the smart phone space – no doubt about that. But which is better, or is it more of just a taste of preference?
Well, on first glance you will note that the Google Nexus One offers a larger screen (3.7 inches), whereas the Apple has a 3.5 inch, so not too much difference there, but it is noticeable. And the Motorola Droid also has a 3.7 inch screen and it is very crisp. I’d say Apple 3Gs falls in that regard, but of course, that’s only one aspect, let’s discuss the rest shall we?
The resolution of the screen is the big key, that’s what makes the Google Nexus One my favorite, it’s far superior to the Apple 3GS, no comparison, hands down, beats it in that regard. Of course, Motorola’s Droid falls in between the these two on resolution and crisp’ness. And the NexusOne is much faster on the surfing speed, impressively faster actually. And when using the mapping software portion, well, the NexusOne rocks.
