Welcome to IWETHEY!

New It's right here.
Android on a phone? I scoff at that notion.

New I'm doing pretty well...
with my Nexus One.

I just got an serious update a few weeks ago... the new search is just ever so much more "pleasant" to have do my beck and call.

Really, it is super de-duper. My only thing now, is my contract is up in a few weeks. I'm considering other options...

iPhone? Perhaps.
Windows Phone? not likely.
Android Phones galore? Probably one of them.

New Doesn't the low-res AMOLED screen get on your nerves?
It's what I remember best (worst?) about my Nexus One.
New Nope.
Does not give me any problem of the least. Low Res? 720 x 1280 pixels seems pretty damned good resolution to me. It is effectively Retina at "natural viewing distance" now anything at 10", sure resolution then matters. But at 20" or more, who gives a flying rip, you can't see the damned pixels anyway.

I guess I'm like you with computers... I use it, it works, sure a few annoyances... but in general, no bid deal.

New Nexus One is 480x800, not 720x1280
I found it especially gritty with small text.
New Samsung Galaxy Nexus...
Sorry. I always confuse the fact the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is considered "One" and not the Nexus One... sorry for the confusion.

New No prob
New My Galaxy S3 is the first smartphone I've owned
The screen still looks as good as anyone else's phone I've held it up next to. No, I haven't compared it to a Retina.

I know people have said this after every major advance in TV technology, but looking at my phone I really wonder how much better it could get. Other than it sucks in bright sunlight.

New So did Kindles, until Paperwhite
Someone has to be working on something similar for color screens.

New My 1020 is the least worst in bright light.
New Really?
My Sony e-ink reader looks fabulous in bright sunlight. Not tried a Kindle Paperwhite.

Colour e-ink has been "just around the corner" for years. I don't remember what they said the most recent hurdles where.

Wade.
New No, you're right
Kindles were fine in bright light, but they were never as pretty to read as a real book or a color tablet (indoors).

When they get color e-ink on a paperwhite, that will be spectacular.
