How much does N1 cost anna?? Desire looks bland, yet that looks like a good VFM option.

Don't go for N1. no support in India and it had too many issues earlier (not sure how it is and it is not at all doing well inUSA). Desire is N1 without google branding, with better UI (sense UI) and FM Radio

All the issues have been resolved with custom kernels. It is supported by local gray market dealers in terms of repair etc.

Go get it kalpik! I have been on HTC Magic (UK piece) since Nov. 2009 and running on community ROMs. Absolutely no problem whatsoever.

sounds good. btw, have to dig xda-developers for custom Legend kernels. I want to try out Legend without Sense UI and see how the vanilla 2.1 looks. :)

That aside I would have still waited for the Desire if my older phone was still in good shape . But its your preference if you are happy with the N1 then go for it!

^^ Same issues with updates.. Only Nexus One is a "Google Experience" phone.. Anyway, went to Gaffar Market today, availability was an issue.. There were only 2-3 sets in the market and they looked very old! One dealer said fresh stock will arrive today by 7-8 PM. Will call him and then if the stock is there, will go tomorrow!

N1 phones are available here dime a dozen :). BTW bits of Froyo has already been made available on N1. Thanks to Cyanogen...again. IMO buy a phone which Cyanogen owns and be rest assured of life time of updates:wink:.

Thanks! Are the sets sealed or are they open? I've herd the gray market sets are sold open.

You can ask for sealed boxes thats not a problem; I have seen both.

In fact you can bargain (500 bucks or so) for opened boxes. Once you power up the phone do a factory reset and thats it Android's startup script will start all over again. But then all this depends upon your comfort level.

Guys if all the chatter at XDA is to be believed; Magic users can get Froyo update sooner than expected :)!
