Nexus One ?

Rusty!

The Bravo is not the same as the Passion/N1.

Had my Nexus One for a couple of weeks now, and I love it... fantastic phone and the recent update giving pinch zoom should quieten down a few of the critics.

So the Nexus One is the Google branded version of the HTC Passion? Previously it was said that the Passion woud be the US name for the Bravo. I know that under the hood they're virtually the same but cosmetically, they're quite different.

Yes the Passion is the Nexus One, easy to see as this link to the Nexus One update shows:

Passion & Nexus must be very very similar.

I have a Nexus One (recommended..) running with 3 PAYG SIM, and when check "About" on Google Maps on the N1 it tells me "Platform: android:HTC-passion-Nexus-One-7" whatever that means...

Cheers!

The Passion is the Nexus One, no similar about it.

It's just what HTC named it when going though the design process etc. Nexus One is the name Google gave it when it was ready.

That link you posted on the other thread about Android phones takes me to this page.....http://androidphone.org.uk/phones/htc/bravo/

.....where they say that the Bravo is the Passion??

Rusty!

So it does, guess they decided to re-use the name.

13 ways the Nexus One is better than the iPhone

1. “Open system” so that, God forbid, if someone can create a better browser, address book, calendar, or email client, you can install it. Somebody at Apple thinks it has the monopoly on good app development. He or she is wrong.
2. Actions are snappier. This is hard to quantify, but things seem to happen faster and crisper on a Nexus One than on an iPhone.
3. Flash for the camera. Maybe Apple employees are always in well-lit places, but this isn’t true for me.
4. The same charger for the Nexus One works with Bluetooth headsets. That’s just one less thing to carry, and one less plug in your car.
5. Ability to type a period without going to another screen. I know the iPhone can do this automatically, but only at the end of sentences. I need it for email addresses and links.
6. Alphabetic list of all installed apps (without having to hook up to iTunes on a computer). Sometimes don’t you want to see a nice list of everything?
7. Anchored application icons on the home page—as opposed to how iPhone’s reorder themselves automatically in what can only be described as a crapshoot unless you use iTunes.
8. Reasonable way to install beta versions of applications as opposed to the UDID iPhone insanity.
9. Non-Facist app-store approval process. I’ve gotten so many “We submitted it to Apple. It could be a couple of weeks before it’s approved” emails that I want to puke.
10. Persistent “elevator” in the vertical scroll bar. I like to know where I am in a long list (for example, email inbox). The iPhone only shows the elevator when you are scrolling. It disappears as soon as you stop scrolling.
11. Better organization of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth settings. Nexus One: Settings—>Wireless & Networks has both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth settings. iPhone: Settings—>gets you to Wi-Fi but then you have to go to General to get to Bluetooth.
12. Five guesses for the word that I’m typing instead of one. I’ve seen Nexus One display as many as fifteen if you horizontally scroll.
13. Replaceable battery. Duh.

Eat your hearts out iPhone fanbois...

(There are of course many fine 'phones, and Apple is an admirable company with stunning products & prices...)

I reckon that the Nexus One, Bravo and Passion are essentially the same phone. Same OS, same processor, same camera etc. There looks to be a few differences cosmetically, but the generic design is the same.

Certainly a possibility, people will figure it out on release, probably in an attempt to get SenseUI ported onto the Nexus.
