In general, this is a no-brainer – keep the Nexus (oh I love this phone!) but @hankito has become a full-on convert to Android (used to Apple and iPhone all the way) and has spent so much time one the XDA Forums over the last month, that he now knows how to root and put different ROMs on the phone in the space of a few minutes. He rooted my Nexus using a 1-click app in less that 10 minutes yesterday morning (no @cyanogen mod on it yet though, I still want the chance to get in there and play around a bit myself).
A non-rooted, non lag-fixed, non-GPS fixed, non-Froyo Vibrant is … underwhelming. It’s downright frustrating! (and meh) Froyo was such a huge improvement to the Android OS that not running it, despite the absolutely GORGEOUS display on the Vibrant is well … not worth it. And there’s no Flash – Adobe or camera. And I really like my LED notifications and trackball.So, should I switch just to have the latest android phone (before the G2 anyway)?
