Even the fan-boy artist concepts of what it could be were generally uninspiring. Sure there were clean lines and geewiz concepts, but in the end, the iPhone blew not only the existing phones away, but the fictitious concepts of what they could be. The Nexus One might match, but certainly doesn't blow away the existing iPhone. To Google's credit, they caught up quick. But they are matching year-old technology. The question really is if they can pull ahead in any meaningful way. My bet is that the next iPhone will make the Nexus look quaint for about year until Google catches up again.

I tend to agree with your post. Although, not sure if I completely think it will be 'second-rate' phone but competition is good! My next phone will definitely be an Android phone or unlocked iPhone as I am a T-mobile customer...I grow tired on my BlackBerry! The one thing I like about Nexus is the fact that Google will be selling to both the GSM and CDMA wireless companies. Again, competition is good! Nice post. I tend to agree with your post.
