Let’s take a quick poll and let’s just based all that on the looks for the meantime. We got on our hands the Google Nexus One and the HTC Touch HD2. Two gorgeous smartphones but which one draws the a second look?

Both devices are powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 1GHz processor. Really the main difference between the two is Windows Mobile 6.5 and Android OS 2.1 (the HTC HD2 is ready for WinMo 7.0) but it’s fairly safe to say that WinMo fans and Android fans are divided in the middle (so, try to write off the OS for a moment here).

So I ask you — if looks could kill, which of the two will slice you like a samurai?

We’re not going to do a proper poll anymore, just hit the comment button below.

I like htc hd2

Erick · 16 years ago

I’d go for the thinner one–the HTC HD2! :)

john · 16 years ago

aesthetics-wise, i’d go with the N1 (though both phones are designed by HTC). factor in the OS and it gets even better.

@lance – kimstore.multiply.com is selling the HD2 for 38k na lang.

Lance · 16 years ago

Definitely HD2 :D

@OT, Sir Yuga, can I ask about the availability of the HD2 here in the Phils? Where can I get it and how much? Thanks

Seph · 16 years ago

I own a Nexus One, and have have seen HD2.

Nexus One > HD2.

Both in the design and software/os category.

alfred · 16 years ago

I suppose I like the Nexus better with its longer battery life.Most windows mobile phones such as the HTC tends to be power hungry and thus you cannot use them for longer periods without bringing the charger with you.

I think I will go for HD2

rom · 16 years ago

Go for the NexusOne. WinMo is dying.

IPhone 3GS – get it after June so you get the latest one being released this year.

I used bpi CC to buy my nexus one. Connected with vpn in US. Use proxy as posted by Abe.

hiob · 16 years ago

nexus one

jessica · 16 years ago

Nexus One! :)

E · 16 years ago

HTC!!!

Reel Advice · 16 years ago

I also love the HD2 design! Only wished it had android! ahaha

Jam. · 16 years ago

Still waiting for Windows Mobile 7. But for now, ANDROID!

Doodles · 16 years ago

Google Nexus One is also made by HTC also. Winmo or Android then? I really haven’t tried Android. Had several Winmo base phones in the past. Worked well for me but generally ignored by consumers. I like the physical look of nexus though.

some guy · 16 years ago

Nexus one is waaaaaaay better lookin than that boxy junk wimo thing

Eric · 16 years ago

Nexus One

James C · 16 years ago

HTC’s WinMO. All the hype in Nexus One, too many glitches in the software and 3G connection. Many practical use for Windows Mobile.

dan · 16 years ago

1 for google nexus

rene · 16 years ago

hd2 because of the larger real estate

rtiangco · 16 years ago

Hi Yuga,
I’m new here but I’d go for the Nexus One.

Off topic:
Great to drop by your blog and saw that Globe has no iPhone 3Gs in stock. I’ve been wanting to buy that since last Monday but something has been keeping my hands away from it.

Anyway, are there easier ways to buy the nexus one without going through the creating of a US I.P.? Can local credit cards like cbank be used to purchase the nexus one and have it delivered to US address and be shipped here in the Phil? Thanks in advance.

rjgolo · 16 years ago

Nexus One for me as well since I already have it… :)

irv · 16 years ago

HD2 is too wide to fit in my pockets. And it has WinMo… :(

so it’s Nexus One for me.

mark pelicano · 16 years ago

hd2 for me i was waiting for this phone and i’m planning to buy. master yuga do you know where i can buy here in the philippines and how much?

isel · 16 years ago

I would go for hd2. Although it’s boxy, it looks very different from the shape of the usual touch screen phones available in the market.

Arnold · 16 years ago

siyempre NEXUS ONE..

kwhengce · 16 years ago

hd2, slim and giant screen!

tetchie · 16 years ago

htc!

kjaonline · 16 years ago

I tried ordering for a Nexus One from the Philippine but to no avail. So i’ll try to convince my dad to order one for me and then send nya dito sa pinas..

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 16 years ago

@RJCA – if you can’t wait, and June is a long time, go for Nexus One. My order from Globe for the 3GS is also still pending due to lack of stocks.

Andew Mercado · 16 years ago

Nexus One. I think Android will gonna replace WinMo soon. I would say Sun is setting for WinMO. Sorry to say that.

agentorenz · 16 years ago

HD2 for me..

Guyrony · 16 years ago

HD2.

Arnold Gamboa · 16 years ago

Nexus One. The other one is boxy.

roan carl · 16 years ago

nexus one has nice curves…but i prefer hd2 for its sleek lines and screen size…..

loadex · 16 years ago

Google Nexus.. slim and sexy

RJCA · 16 years ago

The HD2 looks better in my opinion.

Off-topic:

Iâ€™m currently waiting for Globe to have stock of the Iphone 3GS (since December!) and Iâ€™m considering just ordering a Nexus One, any input Sir Yuga?

Iâ€™m also thinking of not buying a new phone and just wait for June to see what the new Iphone will be like. I donâ€™t know how much longer I can stand my Nokia 5800 XM though, itâ€™s soooooooo sloooooow.

Any input would be appreciated.

Jon · 16 years ago

I’d say the nexus one looks more sexy. The hd2 is just. too wide for my taste and too edgy at the. corners.

aby · 16 years ago

Google Nexus One!

lunatech · 16 years ago

Nexus One!!!!!

Ed · 16 years ago

If android 2.1 is in the hd2 body then that would be the winner. For now i prefer the nexus one. :-)

ryan ang · 16 years ago

hmm parati kong iniiwasan yung HD2.. pero that pic with the nexus one.. HD2 looks sexy.. loving the thin bezel.. i’m a sucker for thin bezels haha. I love my screen so much they don’t need to be framed haha (kaya i’ve been lusting for the new LG LCD’s)
