We saw few inaccuracies and missing info on BillShrink.com’s Graphic Chart comparing the Nexus One smartphone… [cough] superphone to Apple’s iPhone, Motorola’s DROID and Palm’s Pre and thought we’d modify it and reproduce it. What’s added… Processor Speed. One of the best selling points for the Nexus One is the new Qualcomm 1GHz Snapdragon processor (the fastest available for smartphones to date). Remember in early 2000 desktop computers reached this milestone, now that power is available for mobile phones!

Why is the pricing more on the plan with the Droid than the Nexus One?
Chris, this article is probably assuming that a DROID phone will be on Verizon and the Nexus One will be on T-Mobile. T-Mobile is a bit cheaper, so this makes sense.
Nexus one will be on Verizon eventually, so the price point will be different depending on carrier but it isn’t here for us yet.
Aha. Yes, that makes sense. Forgot it would not be on Verizon in the beginning. Thanks for the reminder.
This is still wrong. The Nexus One has Wireless Draft n, that is a BIG difference, especially in homes with newer computers where all devices can run on Draft n, and the router can be set to broadcast that alone. It is MUCH faster and clearer than other Wifi. Please STOP saying “Wifi” as just one technology. There are 4 now; a/b/g/n, and no one would say Draft a is just as good as Draft g, let alone Draft n. Nexus One is one of the only phones in the world with Draft n, so this is a big point.
Too bad 802.11n is not currently working on the Nexus One, from what I’ve read (google “nexus one wifi n”)
Also, what the heck is with the processor section; the Pre and Droid have the *EXACT SAME* OMAP3 SoC (System on a chip). All 4 of those phones are based on CortexA8, so it’s just stupid to only point it out on the Droid.
The iPhone uses Samsung’s proprietary equivalent of TI’s OMAP3, but it’s virtually identical in all aspects. Why does this chart say unknown? It’s very well known.
