Great news this is, I hope Google fails BIG TIME!!!! Along with chrome and that POC (C=crap) Chrome OS their bouncing around Google Labs.
Nothing like a kiddie company running out into what they think is a one way easy street (thinking they have it figured out), to realize that they ran onto a 5 lane highway and will get ran over like wally e coyote does when he tries to catch the road runner (which in this case is my beloved Apple )
What was that snake in the grass fake Dr. Eric Shmidt say " WHERE GOING TO BRING A PHONE TO THE MARKET THAT WE FEEL IS WHAT A PHONE SHOULD BE" yada yada yada blah blah blah...

If Chrome is crap what does that say about Safari seeing it took more market share with its beta version?
I see that you're trying again..... you have more faith in human nature than most most of us....
Okay guess I will have to highlight some of this.
"On Thursday, in a remarkable concession, Steven P. Jobs acknowledged that the company had abused its core customers? trust and extended a $100 store credit to the early iPhone buyers."
Did that say Apple abused its core customers?
?I just felt so used as a consumer,? he said. ?They hyped up the iPhone for six months and built up our expectations, and then they grabbed our extra $200 and ran.?
?A $100 credit could be perceived as adding insult to injury,? said Mr. Enderle, noting that store credits are seldom well received. ?It?s a way to make you go buy something else, and gives the company a chance to make more money.?

Dude stop it! Just stop!.... CHROME IS A COPY OFF APPLE... Okay they use webkit (A standard Apple pushed) and made it mainstream for future browser implementations.... GOOGLE COPIES !! Face it man! Google is just a POC and they need to stick with search and get chrome off the OS X platform... Steve doesn't want it, Apple doesn't want it, I DON'T WANT IT, ...tell them to stay on Windows or whatever other platform that doesn't start with OS X
Oh yeah and that beta version is going to get crapped on when WWDC comes!! take that Google, why don't they just say they want to be like microsoft cause they sure are starting off on the microsoft foot.
GOOGLE WILL ALWAYS PLAY CATCH UP TO THE INDUSTRY STANDARD LEADER (APPLE INC, 1 Infinite Loop Cupertino CA 95014 (408-996-1010) )
So, let me get this right. You advise nobody ever buys a new product from well in this example, Apple... then we all wait and wait ... and ... mmmm.. I see a snag I think ... perhaps version 2 might not appear for folks like you?
If a version 2 does not appear all that says to me is:
They were able to fix the flaws with software updates (meaning the v1 is now the v2).
The product was not good enough to warrant fixing those flaws and releasing a version 2. Hooray, we've saved ourselves money by not being one of those suckers.
This story highlights one of the number one benefits of being an Apple customer. I remember when my step dad had a problem with a Dell computer. Dell claimed it was a Microsoft problem. Microsoft claimed it was a Dell problem.
Apple for the most part controls the whole widget, and takes responsibility for it. Further, when different companies make the software and hardware, neither company understands the product as well as a company that makes it all.
In my view, Google made a mistake putting its name on the phone. It will only alienate other hardware manufacturers, and tarnish it's reputation.

Nobody is saying Apple is perfect. But in this case of Google and HTC clearly facing some challenges in supporting their brand new sexy phone, you're just blatantly trolling by trying to throw off this whole post into a "Let's argue with extremeskater" about, well, not much at all.
Please try to contribute at least minimally. You were at least performing marginally better on the other threads.
Well I am trying to get him to explain how its logical to pay more for less but I can't seem to get him to reply. Instead he is just trying to reflect attention away from himself.
You know we make bad choices the only difference is he seems to take pride in it.

HTC isn't the most brilliant brand out there, they were hoping Google would give it a real boost. I wouldn't entirely write off the Nexus One, and there are always challenges at launch.
However, I am not too surprised by this.
We'll see whether they learn their lesson. However much Apple ***** up the iPhone and iPhone 3G launches there has been clear improvements.
Nexus One may start to fall by the wayside as a kind of experiment.
So people don't complain about being advertised to, eh? Google broke their own business model here...hope it pays off for them because I'm sure its a big additional complication for them.

I'm not trolling at all. The Nexus One situation is another perfect example how early adopters lose. When you feel the need to be the first on your block to have the new technology be prepared to take it hard and deep.

It's like the comic books. Every hero needs a villain and vice versa. User MobileMe has emerged because of yourself. Who is the hero and how is the villain, I leave it to you all to work out.

Fair enough. Early adoption has a lot of risks. But like I was saying, we'll see whether they can improve. Apple did have some screw ups but overall satisfaction and improvement is undeniable.
I'd like to see how Google and HTC move along from this. The big risk is that HTC is not a *fantastic* brand, and Google is very new to the hardware game and may have not fully worked out how their involvement in hardware is going to play out.

No response on the New York Times article? Maybe your just trying to take the focus off the stupid purchase you made.

Yeah right. Paying more for less is logical.
Funny the New York Times seems to think early adopters were pissed. That must be you in the picture.

Funny. I know about 5 early adopters. None of them were pissed.

Can't say I'm shocked.

All because I stand for apple and use terms of endearments at times to describe them, means you can't take a valid argument serious?!?!
I believe in my company, and googles lack of preparation and R&D on this industry has hurt them out the gate and IM INSANELY HAPPY ABOUT THAT!
Some companies belong in search (Google) some don't (Apple)
Some companies can produce game changing devices or in this case a phone (Apple) some cannot (Google)
