    Does the Google Maps App not have the same functionality on any phone, even non-Android phones? Or are these just an Android-specific features, or Nexus S-specific features?

    Not true. Navigation worked great on my Nexus 1 while I was traveling in France last summer.

    I use Google Maps on my G1 everywhere I go, It’s fun to watch it, even if you already know where you’re going

    @ksc6000n 1) 16gb storage is more than enough, there is no reason to put all your pron movie in the phone,
    2)5 mp and 480p is more than enough, do u know how big a 10 min 720p movie 1gb.
    3)512 Ram is enough,do u know sense ui use 200mb ram?
    4)notification led is useless, if u want to know any message why dont u turn it on?
    5)as you say dual core are around the corner, the means you dont have it, right?
    6)HSPA+ is not necessary, 4g are around the corner, right?

    @lucasjohny navigation has already rolled out to Australia and New Zealand cause I’ve used it so soon they’ll have it. But my Locations app on my Desire Z still owns.

    1)No SD Card slot, only ONE GB out of 16 set aside for apps???
    2)Only 5 Megapixel Camera with no 720P recording (same or less than all current androids)
    3)Only 512 MB of RAM (same or less than all current androids)
    4)No notification light for messages/missed calls??????????????
    5) Only 1 GHz processor when dual core processors are around the corner?
    6) No HPSA+ ?

    And you want us to pay $530 before taxes for this?! Get out. I’ll keep my Nexus One.

    @IVIentos @IVIentos Every corporation is anti competition because they exist to make as much money as they possibly can. That’s a terrible argument.

    And yeah Android is open source, it’s a shame you still have to hack most of the handsets to root them, exactly as you have to with the iPhone. So much for freedom.

    Linux/open source nerds. The worst nerds.

    Hi Ken. Please remove the redundant and ridiculous +and- zoom buttons from Google Maps (and the Browser and Gallery for that matter). At this point, with multi-touch zoom, it’s just embarrassing.

    @VisAbsoluta87 Yeah mhmmm lies

    Android FTW

    Google isn’t anti competition like Apple.

    Apple just can’t believe that there are other companies out there in the world.

    Oh and BTW, Android is open source. =)

    to be honest, iphone 4 is just more fluent and has faster animations.
