I would imagine the N1 is optimized for speech into the phone, done close to the phone, normal primary use. Recording video is the ambient surrounding sound. I would think getting the best from each would require different processing. It would be great if both could be optimal but there may be an element of either or here?, but if I had to choose, I think the close up voice recognition is more key.

So why is the audio quality when recording video so terrible? To date the iPhone 3GS has the best audio quality when recording video for a cellphone.

well, the better voice recognition is also due to the fact that it is not processed by your phone, but on the google servers.

As I have mentioned in another thread, the voice recognition accuracy on the N1 is a huge improvement over previous phones hat I used (G1, Mytouch, Droid, iphone). This is due to Audience voice processor and the 2 microphones in the N1. Among the many demos that I have given over the past month, my friends & family are most impressed with the voice recognition. Using Google translator, I can say something in English, and it quickly translates that into other languages and even speak the foreign phrase in some languages (English, French, Chinese). I have also been able to dictate the whole email with little correction using the keyboard. Google VR still can have problems with names.

I used to think physical keyboard is rather important, but the N1 is changing that.

now this is….dandy….I sure hope the new droid has this to. I bet the Nex 1 is even better on Verizon…whenever it is it comes in Verizon….hopfully this year,but if not a new droid is said to be kit this year so that will make prehaps a biger splash then perhaps the Nexus one….and that will just be to cool and dandy

lol that was a nice video. And I too think that this might not be the sexiest feature, but still it is sexy as hell!

Caramba – I would agree. But if you tell the “normal” person which they think is cooler between Live Wallpapers, 5MP Camera with LED Flash or better voice reception is “sexiest” I doubt many would say the latter.

My point is that it is probably underappreciated and deserves recognition, something it sounds like we agree upon.

Why is it “One of the less “sexy” specs/features of the Nexus One”?

I found it one of the most innovative
