iPhone 3Gs Sim Card in Nexus One?

[JOHNGAETANO]

Will my Sim Card in my iPhone 3GS work in a Nexus One with me getting charged for a swap fee? Is there anything special I need to do?

Nothing. Put it in and load up your gmail account and you're good. Tried this with my iPhone sim just so you know I'm not talking out of my ass.

Thanks Moto

I appreciate the response about the iPhone Sim Card, but can you tell me how the true battery life is on the Nexus vs iPhone.

Anything else you don't like about the Nexus vs iPhone?

Yea. Normal use for me is pretty heavy. I use my phones for business. Starting at 6 am checking the news and forums etc,etc. By 7 it all business with emails calls, browser searching. The iPhone would last to about 2-3. Nexus running stock ROM would last to about 3:30-5. Now, I'm running modaco a15 and I put my spare battery in at 1-2. I only run them down to about 10 %. The custom ROM seems to take a little more battery most likely from sense. It's worth it for me as I like the aesthetics of sense and I have a spare battery. I don't have any red feeds updating on either phone, only email and weather sync. Hope that helps.

Something to keep in mind, running 3G over EDGE will use a bit more battery but it should not make a huge impact.

Moto, I am a phone Junkie. Have had the Droid and back to the iPhone in the last 6 months. How about the good and bad the iPhone vs Nexus? I had a Droid, but I didn't like the bulky size. I need something that fit in my front pocket like the iPhone. Do you miss the iPhone?

Battery life is slightly better than iPhone in my experience, but since its a high res full screen phone, heavy use will warrant a second charge by evening (or early afternoon if you hit it hard).

The screen resolution has nothing to do with battery life. In fact the screen on the Nexus One is supposed to be better on battery life than a LCD that's in the iPhone.

For those that have an iPhone and an AT&T N1, how does the reception compare?
Does the N1 drop calls like the iPhone? How about signal strength?
Comments appreciated.
