Nexus One is MUCH faster

Only thing I miss is bbm. I switched from the original iPhone to my Blackberry Bold so I'm use to typing on a touch screen. Might be hard for some people that have never done it but you'll get use to it within a few days

sooo.. I want to do a factory reset. Will the apps I previously installed on the phone stay? or will they get deleted as well?

EDIT: nvm found the answer myself. it's a yes.

you answered it already, but ya factory reset will make the phone go back to factory settings, so it wipes everything off (i think...thats how it is with other phones)

I installed Aptoide from the Market Place. It's basically like Cydia/Installer on the iPhone. You add repositories to it and you'll get all the free apps.

This is the repository I'm using right now: http://repo.blackdroid.net
