I'm not in the overrated boat of people who think that the "Apple way" of UI design is the greatest there ever was and honestly believe that Android is magical. (ha!)
So I've just got one question about switching over, can I use the SIM from my iPhone or do I need to go into AT&T and have them give me a new one?
Discussion about
Since I'm locked into AT&T until August 2011 and am absolutely sick of my iPhone. I want a Nexus One. Bad.
And to think it wasn't that long ago(or maybe it was) when I persuaded you into the Mytouch
My thoughts exactly. Having an iPhone with only Linux boxes in my house is pointless. If I want to upgrade my firmware I need to bug @ryan, heh. Not to mention that I can start playing around with Android development, which I am obviously unable to do currently for the iPhone (app store policies aside).
pretty sure that the iPhone 3G uses a normal SIM card so you should be able to just pop it out and then plug it into the Nexus One.
Although you would only have EDGE speeds on the Nexus One if you're using it on AT&T because the Nexus One only support T-Mobile's US 3G band, I think.

I'd rather have a phone that is on a kind-of-working 3G network than be stuck on EDGE for over a year.
I have a Nexus One that I use my iPhone 3GS sim in. It works fine. I find that I still prefer the iPhone though. Nexus One is a nice phone. If you don't mind voiding your warranty when you get it root it and install the cyanogen mod. Makes the phone much better in my opinion.
I don't excatlly know how rooting voids the warranty. I thought the Nexus was virtually the easiest to root aside from the Geeksphone One which ships rooted.
The way I see it if your phones dies and can not be turned on there is no way to tell it was rooted, and if the screen breaks but is readable you can still reflash the stock firmware and once again no one knows. Jailbreaking an iphone doesn't void the warranty so why would rooting.

It runs faster, at least it seems like it to me. There's some cosmetic differences. The notification shade is transparent. You can change the color of the trackball light. And I'm sure if you have the knowledge, which I don't, there's a bunch of other customization you can do. I love that you can wake, and even unlock, the phone with the trackball. Some other small stuff, there's 5 apps per row when you open the app droor instead of 4.
And in one fail swoop I look like an idiot... Apparently the bootloader does show an unlock symbal even if you revert this must be linked to either 2.1 or Google sold phones since rooting any none current 2.1 phone does not have this. So rooting will probably void the warranty unless the devs make a way to reverse this.
