hey blokes and gals

im fortunate to have both nexus and desire. both awesome machines.... HOWEVER

when i got the Desire i really thought I would sell off the Nexus. But now it seems i will prob
sell the Desire. Dont get me wrong, its one insane machine. But there are a couple
things that keep pulling me back to Nexus.

I really do like sense, but I really am enjoying the more raw Google UI over Sense.
Its just more basic and really faster and cleaner and in my eyes more attractive. Sometimes when
im using sense i feel im on windows (thanks to my days of sense on sony ericson x1)

secondly i really still enjoy the trackball. and especially the trackball notifications. for me i have it
setup as green for gtalk , blue for email, orange for sms etc. Desires notification light is rubbish.

i do however think that the design and build is better on Desire. Nexus feels a little too rounded and smooth and star trek like. but thats a minor point.

otherwise they are are same darn phones. i spose i would be really happy if i could find a nexus rom for Desire, but no one seems to be doing that.... and then i would miss out on the trackball lights

my 2 cents
 
I did see someone with a nexus one rom for the desire on youtube. Will get the link when i go home.
 
Ok just checked now, its not the stock nexus Rom. But it looks quite simple.

Rom is called eViL De-Sire v1.2.4 Barbone
 
Have you updated your Nexus to FroYo? There's no comparison after the update. It leaves the Desire choking in it's dust
