Why you should buy a Nexus One phone from Google
Simply put, you should buy one just to take a stance against the carriers and their frequent abuses of power, to let them know that they can’t tell you what you can or can’t do with the bandwidth you paid for. The Nexus One has the potential to become the first no-compromise, factory-unlocked, mainstream smartphone. It is an untamed device that will allow you to take back control of your mobile experience in disregard of what would negatively affect the carrier’s bottom line.
Buying any Android-powered device is also a statement against Apple’s draconian control over the iPhone platform. While it would be ok for them to protect their vision for the platform, it is not acceptable to artificially limit functionality only to protect their interests. It is your phone; you should be allowed to run ANYTHING you want in it, the compiler being the only authority to respect. It is absurd that you have to “jailbreak” your phone and shop at alternative app stores to have access to features (and content) Apple doesn’t want you to have.
When you buy a Nexus One, you will be sending the carriers and Apple a very clear message:
I am taking back control of my mobile experience. The future is mine (and not yours) to shape. If you want my money, you must support this vision or I will do business with someone else who does.
Wireless data is a commodity service.

So true. Here in Canada, we have recently ben told by one of our carriers ROGERS that we will have to leave our Dreams and Magics at Android 1.5 because they won’t update these phones even through we signed up for 3 year contracts. We thought Android was different, and perhaps if Google really gets behind it as you suggest, it will prove to be what we had hoped.
