yes you should! hahaha

i have not personally held one or played with one, but just watching videos online made me jealous. i have a friend in the bay who got one for t-mobile and he has mixed feelings about it, but he came from a non touch screen phone. so most of his complaints are not the phones fault but simply him adapting to the new standard. but in all he says he loves it and is getting used to it.

personally a few reasons i am switching are that one i want a slimmer phone. trying to put the tp2 in my pocket was a joke, it felt like a brick in there. at the same time that was the keyboards fault. i also found myself using the physical keyboard less and less due to the screen being so large that the onscreen keyboard was not all that bad. two, i also grew tired of winmo, it can be great, but at the end of the day...well that was the problem, there was no end of the day, constantly modding/flashing/reformatting/recovering was getting old. with android i could be happy with it stock (however i am sure i will mod it too). and finally the android marketplace, so many useful apps that i can not wait to use!

so now i am patiently waiting its release. i think it will be a great phone that will last me awhile, at least to when wp7 has been out for a little bit, then i may switch back to that

EDIT: not sure about your tastes but the htc incredible will be out soon too. it has sense ui, an 8mp camera, at its snapdragon is underclocked to 700 something mhz, which will provide better battery life, and i am sure it can be overclocked (brought back to standard) when rooted. however i think the phone is hideous, at least from the leaks i have seen, but thats just me, could be a great phone for people who like its looks

I hate to admit it but i think wm is dead, at least until wm7 comes out development has pretty much stopped. I think i will get he n1.

i agree. android will hold me over for a while. so far i really like what i see for wp7, but we still got a long time before thats all reality. plus another good reason to switch are all the a-holes in the tp2 forums, damn...brutal, haha. time to start learning android though...thats the only draw back i see

Android is so much better than windows mobile to me. I made the switch from the tp2 and only wish I had done it sooner.

I love my nexus coming from a tp2...
no issues for me....do it, you will not look back.... on another note, a dude at tmobile yesterday had a hd2, its beautiful and huge... definitely won't fit in a pocket.... for that and how much I love my n1 I'm staying nexus.... but the hd2 will win customers from all carriers. ...its better in person....

But yea. N1 takes poops on tp2

I'm with dragon2, as I use my nexus 1 I feel like its the best phone on this planet, I don't know how to explain it. You wont be sorry, make the switch day one, that way you wont have any regrets not doing it sooner.

@dragon2 / p-slim: How are you finding the keyboard on the N1...coming from a TP2? That's my biggest fear...constant typos and corrections???

i've never had a device without a physical keyboard until now and i'm fine without it. on screen keyboard is better now that i've finally given a phone a try that didn't include one. the sip's are a lot better then they use to be.
