google's new htc-made, android-based, nexus one, has created quite a stir in the mobile world. but most of all it's given the almighty iphone a run for its' money! in the ongoing debate of which smartphone is better, cooler, faster... here' are 6 features that the google phone has which the iphone doesn't.

1. it's unlocked - instead of going through wireless carriers, users can purchase the phone directly from google and can use it with any provider they want.
2. it's cheaper - with a contract, the nexus one is around $179 whereas the iphone is $199. when factoring in the cost of a plan over 2 years (the usual length of a service contract from a carrier), the google phone will cost you about $600 less per year.
3. extra battery/life - not only does the google phone have a longer battery life (7 hours talk time as opposed to 5 for iphone) but it is equipped with a replaceable battery.
4. higher quality camera - nexus one has a 5 megapixel camera with a flash compared to iphone's 3 megapixels.
5. open app store - although the iphone apps outnumber the android apps (about 6 to 1), the android's market open platform means no application approvals - unlike iphone apps.
6. dictation - if you don't feel like typing while using your google phone, you can dictate your sms, emails, notes and more - with about 90% accuracy.

do you use one of these phones? what is your opinion? post your comments.
