The Nexus One runs a 1GHZ Snapdragon processor, the fastest processor in a phone to date. What happens when you mix the Android 2.1, HTC Sense UI, and the 1GHZ Snapdragon processor in one? The HTC Desire.

It isn't a Droid competitor but an alternative. The Droid beats the Devour in screen size, speed, and the operating system. Best Buy kicked off its Devour pre-sale earlier this week. Usually phones are sold with a rebate, you pay some extra money, they give it back to you later. Best Buy has not setup a rebate system with the Devour. The way Best Buy will be doing things is with a gift card. If you signed up for the pre-sale you are required to buy a $50.00 gift card (hopefully spendable) that will hold your spot in line, what a new way of doing things. Will you be buying a Devour? We will have to wait until the 25th to see the price point, hopefully something to compete with the HTC Droid Eris price point of $100.00.

I know Eris users and Hero users alike are kind of mad that we have been left in the dark. With the release of Buzz today I was really excited to use it on my Android device. When I went to http://www.buzz.google.com my device wasn't supported because it was running Android 1.5. To me that is just unbelievable.
