Nexus One vs Xperia X10 vs Motorola Droid vs Acer Liquid vs Archos Phone

Hey guys, I was searching for a proper comparison of these phones and couldn't find one that was geek satisfactory!

So I did the geeks comparison. Leave a comment and let me know what you think. A lot of new info there.

Nice comparison and welcome to AC, are sure that the X10 has 1024 ROM?

Not sure where you are but the nexus one ships with a 4 gb card not the 16 listed. Otherwise great review

A very good comparison.

They forgot to list what type of notification LEDs each phone has (e.g. 1 single colour LED, a mult-colour LED, LED + trackball, etc), and more importantly how Google nerfed the multi-colour trackball LED on the Nexus One making it white + slow flash only (click the link - your vote counts).

It doesn't say if the camera flash is LED or Xenon, which would give much better results. Perhaps they're all LED.

YouTube wrecks the quality of videos due to them transcoding them into poorer quality codecs using very low bitrates. From personal experience of uploading HD content to YouTube, you can end up with an end video quality that looks better on YouTube when the original is low quality, than when you upload from a high quality original source. I wouldn't trust the video comparisons at all. They should link to the original MP4 / 3GP files.

Forgot to add this last time, but it's a shame they don't compare the audio quality. From what I hear, the Nexus One's audio quality from its noise cancelling microphone is nothing short of astounding. People claim that you can call from a noisy nightclub or bar and the person on the other end can only hear your voice, perfectly clear, and none of the background noise.

Thanks for this, just the decision I'm facing. Something I'm wondering: will the Nexus One receive the fastest OS updates as Google will just push them out almost immediately, whereas the others could be waiting months while the carriers do their thing (i.e. update custom UI)?
