If you were thinking anout getting N1.. DO IT! - Nexus One General

I just switched from touch pro 2 and let me tell you... There is no comparison. I had TP2 for a year and almost everytime I had to do something fast, look something up or do somehing more complicated than calling - it would fail me. It led to a constant feeling of doubt and being unsure if it will just freeze when I need it the most.
N1 is freaking fast. Everything on it JUST WORKS. There is no guessing, like on TP2 - "omg I hope this launches.. I hope I don't have to soft reset.." - everything is integrated, every transition happens in a snap, every task you throw at it is handled immediatly and with style. It's a reliable life partner.
If you are undecided like I was a week ago about switching to N1, do it - you'll wish u've done it sooner.
Android FTW.

It looks almost black & blue already.

Its far better than the TP2 but it reboots by itself alot. I don't know why. I do understand you, coming form that phone also. But its not perfect yet.

My n1 never random reboots.....Ever since JIT got throw out the window, no reboots....I had almost 12 days uptime once....

What is JIT?
Scratch that. I found what it means. How do you get rid of it? I've read its built in.

THANK YOU, OP!
Yes, I was pretty undecided up until now. I have a SE X1 and really, I know what you're talking about when you mention "doubt". I just hate the thing and WM makes it a nightmare. When I got my X1 I was thinking of keeping the phone for a long time, I wasn't expecting a $900 phone to turn out to be complete crap both hardware wise (flimsy, crappy keyboard, crappy paint, etc.) and software wise (WM!!!). Hopefully, I can use the N1 for a longer time with the updates and all...
I guess I'll be getting it now for sure, the only thing left to decide is whether or not it's worth it to wait the extra time to have it engraved...ha!

Actually I ordered mine engraved and it shipped the same day. Suppose to be delivered today .
You may also want to check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654493

I also came from a TP2 and I don't miss it or windows mobile at all. The laggy feel to if it was on for a day with no soft reset. Glad to see I wasn't the only one who made the switch.

And to fill that final need.......
go and download dildroid just google it. Now your phone can handle anything, no really, I mean anything!

Dude, be VERY careful about the engraving.
Read the warranty policy - if you engrave it, it becomes a non-refundable phone that can only be sent in for repairs, if needed. Also, think if you'll want to sell it in a year or two.. nobody wants your "My name is John and I have a 12" tool" engraving.
Not that it's a bad service, just make sure you consider that.

I'm thinking that if I do want some "engraving" on it, I could get away with a transparent acid-sticker of a sort.. at least that I can remove and sell/return if need arises.
Although only death can separate me form my N1 at this point.

If Adobe would hurry and release the fully gpu accelerated flash player for this phone, I'd give it a 10 out of 10.
Seriously! The ipad / iphone guys are crying so hard about wanting html 5 everywhere because they're not allowed to have flash.. I worry that Adobe's missed the boat on this one.
Not a single developer leaking the gpu flash 10 player for android either..

Why I think the Nexus One will be the best Android phone until the next Nexus phone

My opinion;
Despite all the other HTC Android phones coming the Nexus One will remain on top. The reason why I think this is because having a phone directly from Google itself means you'll get updates before anybody, and popularity from any other 'Droid phone won't beat out a Android phone from Google itself.
So to everyone who has a Nexus One or those people who are scared too get one because another one might make it look obsolete..DON'T WORRY. The Nexus One will remain on top due to the fact that it's from Google itself.
Just my two cents..
I agree with you on that. I just made the leap from the TP2 after running Android on it for a couple of days. I love it. Its awesome.

LOL, I did the same thing. My TP2 is now collecting dust.
So what you're saying is that because this phone is being so heavily backed by Google it will have a very long lifespan?
I think I can agree with that
I came from the CLIQ and man is this phone a speeeeeed demon!
well so far there is very little (to none) support from google......and Nexus One is the worst cell phone experience i have ever had.
The phone is good, the hardware is good, the OS is ok.......It just feels like everything is in beta or made from cheapo parts.

Well, you know, you should lay off from Google a little. This is there first directly sold phone, and they weren't exactly prepared for all the whining and problems people were going to have. I don't know how they didn't expect for nearly everyone to complain, but apparently they weren't exactly ready to join the phone competition. They haven't had to deal with any problems till now because they have been selling their Android powered phones through carriers..
I honestly don't understand how this phone could have so many aggravations for people though.. like the above poster said, you should also be more specific.
The good thing is that if the 3g connection is good, htc/moterola/exc can't put the blame on Google, Google has to accept the blame, thus forcing them to fix it snappy (hopefully like we've seen with the radio haha)!
coming from touch pro 2 the N1 is amazing
gotta be honest i miss the keyboard but its alright
just the fact that the phone has a 1ghz processor tells me that they are palnning to keep it for a while. ive had an iphone 3g too and so far i still like the n1 the best ...
just one problem so far - the youtube player is stupid and slow... =[
other than that 5 stars

Are people still getting dust under the screen...or has that been fixed.I'm debating if I should get the N1.I had the G1 and loved all the mods you could do to it and the N1 has twice the specs so it's a powerhouse and the only phone out there close to those specs is the HD2.Man I just can't decide, maybe I should wait till all the kinks are worked out.

I don't know if there is a limit. But if there is, then there's even LESS reason to send it in right away, like so many people are doing, and then getting phones with the dust issue once again. Get the phone, enjoy, send it back at 11 months.

The Truth about the Nexus One. *NON-BIASED*

Now that I have sold my Nexus One. i was very sad immediantly just because the phone was sexy as hell and amazing speed. The college i got accepted to sends all incoming freshmen a iphone 3gs and are required to use it to keep in contact with professors.
Now that thats said i want to continue with whats the truth about the nexus.
1) i had a problem with the headphones along with alot of other people when listening to music threw your headphones that came with the nexus you would get a shock... for me it mostly happend when i was plugged into a computer
2) DUST...omg the dust i got under the corner of the screen was annoying the crap out of me. i couldnt get it sent back because i wanted to keep the engraving on the phone. and i didnt want to wait 2 weeks for them to send me my phone back.
3) the phones speed is AMAZING but i feel as if google hasnt completly utilized the speed and GPU yet. *if they can pull this off, things would be so much better than the iphone*
want to add other things about this phone *without being biased* ? go ahead lets see if we can get some good information in here for new android users
Yeah...
Non-biased my ass. The only thing the iPhone does better than the N1 is the app store. To say they need to work on their GPU is just a pathetic representation of a review...
I'm not even going to try wasting my time to make this a worthwhile thread. OP, you're just... Ugh..
Too LAZY to send it back and wait a couple weeks for a problem... That's YOUR fault. There's policies in place to remedy issues... *****ing isn't the appropriate remedy.
P.S. Shocking from earbuds happens with more than just the stock headphones. Go google it.
they need to fix the dust under the screen issue.
!maybe a way to upscale low res images from the interwebs so they don't look like ass on the high res display!
but honestly, i have been more then happy with my Nexus after selling my 3GS.

THe headphones that come with the N1 doesn't work well on other standard 3.5mm jacks because the pins are specifically designed for the N1. Apparently if you insert the headphones into your computer half way it should work like normal headphones.

People are growing tired of "it's okay, it's only the internet" as a justification for poor grammar and ill-written thoughts.

Let me help you with that since you'll need to know this in college:
i spelt threw wrong....woah! you're big and bad.
Your is a possessive term, where as you're is the conjugation of "you are". So in the future, make sure you check if your usage is right by replacing the term with "you are" and seeing if it makes sense to you.
Anyway dude...bro... you need to grow up and stop acting like an e-Gangsta. To be fair, nothing you posted is anything new. We've all heard it all before and so the thread is a flaming waste of space. That being said, good luck in college.
The phone has a powerful processor and an impressive amount of RAM. I dont think it uses either one nearly to its potential (at least i hope not), which is kind of cool because, although the phone is smooth and fast, the performance ought to be able to be vastly improved with software updates. I like the phone a lot but i also think its fair and justified to expect a lot more from it down the road.
If anyone that knows about hardware can confidently tell me not to expect much more from the device please post that information so that i may sell this phone. thanks
'Through' is the correct spelling. 'Threw' is the past tense of 'throw
"Yesterday, I threw a ball through a hoop."
I'm glad Jesus can afford iphone 3gs's for all students!
Jesus is a baller, lol, im still confused about this dust issue, does anyone have a picture of what this is all about? I got mine the day it launched and I have no idea what people are talking about I havent had any problems with dust and really cant see how it could get under the screen, I keep mine in my pocket every day so Im sure it woulda happened by now if it could. Id also have to agree that the only thing the iphone has is the app store, once androids gets up there it will be a lot better because there's a lot more potential. Id already have to say that handcent, dolphin, and google voice are good examples of that because apple only lets you use their stuff and blocks something if they already have an option is pretty wacksauce in my opinion, why not let the people choose which they like the best, makes no sense to me. Oh well. /rant

interesting quote from the telegraph

In their review for the hd mini found here
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/...eview-HTC-HD-Mini-is-smaller-and-smarter.html
the last paragraph comes out with this little nugget..
And, unlike the HD2, this phone will not be upgradeable to the flashy Windows Phone 7 Series later in the year so you're stuck with the current version. Even so, the HTC overlay is so successful, and the phone itself such a joy to use, that it deservedly wins a fifth star.
Either they know something we dont or are very behind the times..

Agreed. It's a one night stand of an OS to me. Unless it gets hacked to pieces so I have the functionality of WinMo it will always remain a toy to be occasionally flirted with, that will no doubt leave me feeling guilty and dirty the next day and running back into the arms of 6.5 apologising for my weakness.

I hate tht about the hero, why couldnt they seal that better. just piss poor

I do agree with your assessment about Samsung.....as far as software is concerned, but I have to say that the hardware and or manufacturer that Samsung uses is FAR superior to that of HTC. I came from an Instinct before the Hero. It was absolutely the worst software ever introduced on a phone but it was also the best hardware that I have seen to this day. Combine that with the upgraded tech inside and Android for the OS it really cant be bad. Then again, after the Instinct, I swore that there would never be another Samsung in my pocket. lol I'll probably keep to that promise.
While i agree that sammy's suck.. this looks to be a great play for sprint.. the more hi-end androids the better.. maybe they can steal some thunder from verizon and their onslaught of droids..
If sprint will market these hi-end androids against verizon and att showing that the plans are way better.. etc.. and do it right..maybe sprint can gain some some customers etc..
Take dan off the air.. bring back the pin drop guy from way back.. then promote the hell outta the plans and phones.. lol sure fire win in my book.. or just show some t & a holding the evo etc..lol
My fiance has the moment and I do kinda like theslide out keyboard, nice for the terminal apps and stuff. Also nice when you dont feel like swyping or typing on the virtual kb.

Combine that with the upgraded tech inside and Android for the OS it really cant be bad. Then again, after the Instinct, I swore that there would never be another Samsung in my pocket. lol I'll probably keep to that promise.

you are correct about sam and their hardware components. Far superior to htc. Is this sam going to run android? i guess i should take a look at that link.
I don't like samsung phones, but I do like power.
This phone has a 1ghz processor, but that doesn't say it all.
Supposedly this particular 1ghz HummingBird processor is 3 times more powerful than the snapdragons we drool over.
Crappy software...maybe...but AOSP on this thing? HOLY CRAP!

This. OMG so totally this. 3 weeks with a Moment was enough for me.
My buddy has a moment. Tried making funny of me for about the first week he had it. No longer does he make fun of me. Samsungeatsbutt.com
Can I get a cool story bro?

[OFFTOPIC] SGS2 is a total disappointment... "Important" functions NOT working...

[OFFTOPIC] SGS2 is a total disappointment... "Important" functions NOT working...
I read about all the features of the phone, it all got me very excited but some things are not working...
First of all, it doesn't bring me beer when I use vlingo and say " get me beer"
Second of all, Crysis 2 is not running at all. Phone's not that fast..
Last point: I put my phone into airplane mode, threw it in the air.....
Worst transformer ever.....
The rest is working pretty damn fine, so its maybe not a total failure. What are you disappointed about?
First I was like "Hahaha.. NOT" but after a few seconds I started laughing at your post xD
I have not been blessed with a GS2 yet, still waiting. The only thing I could be disappointed about is: build quality/how it actually feels in (my) hands. Further the TouchWiz and Battery life are two things I am semi-worried, but you know TW can be replaced by custom launcher or ROM and Battery life should be decent with tweaks.

Build is better than it looks, but the same goes for the sgs1. Dropped mine once and nothing to see, wiped the grains off and no damage at all. For the sgs1 you could buy stronger backplates and the same will go for this phone, looking at its sales. Samsungs internal build quality is actually one of the best in the business so I wouldn't be to worried. Touchwiz 4 is quite nice. Huge improvement over tw3, still I ditched it within 2 days. Launcherpro all the way for me
It's so thin, i can barely see it, wait...
because the thing i am disappointed is, that we still not have it here in Germany.
We should get this Phone about the same time as UK, but forget it. We are still waiting for that. Most of the people are ordering the phone in UK or Austria because they have it already and not only that, they still get new charges.
I like this Forum and i would like to make some Tweaks on this phone too, but i don't even know when I can get it.
By biggest complain is that it doesn't do bj...
Oh well, maybe it's successor will do

i just hope some roms are available till then, or i definitely start making my own^.^

First and foremost, this phone is utter crap, it ate hundreds of my lovely British pounds before I could even pick it up.
I thought it looked amazing so I spread some cheese on it, but it didn't taste ANYWHERE near as good as it looked, now it turns out I need to feed it even MORE money before it will work again...
Seriously upset.

They ARE the best in the business. Look around, nothing comes even close. They manage to fit virtually everything in (more ram then anyone else, quality cpu, screen out of this world) light and this THIN -->

Other companies are feeling the pressure now. 4inc and over screens need lightness otherwise it just becomes a brick, but then they have to fit in all the top specs inside too and they don't have the tech yet to do that.
