I had a Nexus one running CM 7.1 from about Jan-May this year.

It was great - there was nothing you couldn't do with it.

But everything on it - software and hardware - looked and felt like I'd made it.

There's just little to no fit and finish in the software, and the hardware's built down to a price with a vengeance; well, when the only way to compete with the other OEMs is on hardware spec, that's all you can do.

This works for some people. It doesn't for me.

I'm done with technodogma; nowadays, I just go with what works. There's enough evangelists out there that I won't be missed.
