Hello all,
I currently have a Raphael, running a just about bedded-in NRG ROM, with Sense 2.1 and all the trimmings. My Orange UK contract is up and I have moved to a 1 month rolling SIM, as I couldn't get a 12 Month contract with a phone anywhere.
So my question to you Leo owners is, is it worth £490 of my non-existent money to upgrade to this phone?!

This one man's opinion is YES.
I hated my Samsung BlackJack & BlackJack II, and was VERY disappointed in my HTC TouchPro (Raphael). I realize some other people have had problems, but after 3 weeks with this phone I have no big complaints and I am quite happy with the purchase.
Of course, please buy food and clothing with your non-existent money first. No phone is worth starving to death
I agree. Buy it. Buy it now. In fact, why are you wasting time on this forum when you could be out buying a HD2??
Nah, seriously there are issues, which I'm sure you're aware of, and it seems that some batches of the phone have had lots of issues, whilst others have virtually none, so it's just pot-luck.
If you can, it may be worth waiting a few months to see if HTC sort out the current issues.
Personally, I've got one of the good ones and I have very few problems. I can type on it faster than any phone I've ever had, and I usually only have to reset it when I do something wrong!
I couldn't recommend it more, but I can't promise you'll get one of the good ones.
Awesome
Thanks for your answers...

lol, no Phone before food any day!, I probably do spend more time on my phone than eating!!!
The money situation isn't completely bleak as I have saved money on my monthly contract by switching to sim only.

Do you think it'll happen? There has been rumors floating around about it.
Doubt it.
Where are the rumours from? here?
Damn the title got me excited. Well I sure hope so because I was planning on ordering a nexus one in 41 days when i'm 22 months into my t-mobile contract. Could you please link us to a news article that talks about this. Thanks
I was on someone else's computer and don't have the link for it though. Sorry.
Id sell this and buy a new one.

No there haven't.
well... technically he just started one
I don't know if the newer batch of Nexus One will have this new feature/digitizer technology, but endgadget did mentioned that HTC droid incredible does uses this new technology.
that would blow
"People wildly speculating on these forms" != "There has been rumors floating around about it"
Haven't seen a single word about this aside from this thread.

Why would that blow? How can anyone expect the hardware world not to continue evolving. There will always be something better than what you have... if you have the best right now, something is about to come out that beats it. You can't expect that new technology in an embedded device, such as a phone, will take the place of older technology used in current generation devices.
There is no reason to believe that HTC is going to change their manufacturing process for the Nexus One, or any of their currently released phones. The new technology will be in place for NEW devices, it would be quite odd for them to just start making Nexus Ones with different hardware simply because that hardware exists in the new devices they are manufacturing.

Not when you can still say "warranty exchange."
Actually, judging by how fast google goes through versions and software (look at Chrome browser, already at 4.0 or 5.0), google is probably already testing Nexus Two. That thing'll probably have new screen.
They got a contract with current screen manufacturer, I bet they won't worry about switching now.
Google shows that this is the start of this rumor....

Lmao.
For some reason I believe this a stupid question. The bashing and returns that would occur after this change, and the complaints and people maybe even wanting their money back would be so gradual it would cause a bad costly uproar.
People would form small not needed hate groups, make *****y blog post about how Google somehow "scamed" customers, Google's name would be flamed harshly by people who want attention. I could just imagine this happening..

ya, it would blow if they implemented this "new technology" on a phone thats already out.
kinda like what they did with the myTouch. they add a 3.5mm jack?? thats lame because all the people who own the phone previous to this launch now want that phone but cant get it because they just bought the other version like two months earlier (and just in case you take this literally I'M GENERALIZING)

jesus christ. thank you so much for your pointless reply. I'm not an idiot, I'm saying that IT WOULD SUCK ON MY BALLSACK if they put NEWER technology on a phone that is already ON THE SHELVES.
You all take things way too seriously/literally so calm the **** down and overlook my post if you feel like you should waste your dumb energy replying to it.

Have a look here, you might have a bit more luck selling it.
They seem to sell for a little over £200 on eBay.
Ebay indicates £200-£250. I've kept my eye on a few new ones to see what they go for, and those quoted at £300-£400 don't seem to be shifting at all. I guess people looking to spend top dollar are also thinking about iPhones/Android devices etc.

Aye, it's without a doubt WM 6.5 that's keeping the price down, a shame really.
*edit*Oh I missed the link to the Marketplace in my first post, doh.
Aye, WM has so much potential, especially blended with HTC's Sense UI etc. It's just a shame so many (of the already limited) apps are clunky or useless.
Its a shame that its worth so little, but with HTC releaseing new phones every month there has never been very good resale value for them.
I will be happy with £220 when mine goes on eBay tomorrow. 5 happy years of HTC ownership are about to come to an end!

I'm not sure how that was intended, but I will take it positively
I'm not sad about it, I have loved all of my HTC's but unfortunately I have less time than I used to, to give the phone the attention it deserves. I need something simple and reliable.
I've no doubt I will be back, but for the short term I am excited to try something different. After 5 years of WM, it will be nice to see how the competition do things.
Was in Walmart and saw nexus in T-Mobile line up at Walmart here's a pic
cept it clearly says "Black Be...." and can't see the rest......
/close thread
It's running 2.2 as well.
Oh yeah. You expect us to belive that Walmart has nexus one with froyo preinstalled, has one asymmetric shortcut icon on the screen.
Mods please close this thread.
not only is it allegedly running froyo...but it has a paid app installed as well. lol.

Could be Fancy Widget instead of Beautiful Home, which is free.
Still, it's clearly just been placed there for a photo op.
Not to mention... every other phone on the line is a dummy phone...
Is that you on the frontpage ? http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/
wow. he tried to make a funny. big deal.
I'll tell you what's wrong with this picture: it's that Google hasn't done it.
Nexus should have been in stores day one so people could see it and handle it.

There are a few things they did wrong. That and secondly they should've made sure HTC used the greatest and latest hardware. **** that Apple would envy.
I don't know if you guys are serious about this being fake, but I'm sure it's real. Go to any T-Mobile store, they will tell you that they are NOT getting the N1 and that stores like Wal-Mart are.

First, they could and most likely would have a live handset if they just received the device. Second, if they had a live handset, anyone could go apply a few "customizations."
Even if it is fake, Wal-mart is getting the Nexus One. That's part of Google's, "Oh the online store didn't work out."
seriously guys... use some logic.
I have seen way too many threads in this forums with false claims; and the worst part is that people try to defend them and help spread the misinformation. And, in case, the OP was trying to be funny, next time, please label it so. Many here are ready to believe anything that they see on the internet.
Soon we will have to rename Nexus One General to Nexus One Gossip
Anyways, this is my last post in this thread. Whatever we say... those who want to believe it, will believe it.

I'm not saying I believe the picture, and I'm not spreading false claims. I was informed by my local T-Mobile store that Wal-Mart will be carrying the Nexus One. If you don't believe me, try asking your local representative.
Also, I do see where under the Nexus it say's Blackberry.

I won't argue whether Wal-Mart is going to get the Nexus One or not. I don't really care. But one *BIG* point is

EXACTLY! AT&T started selling the x10 in August 2010, I got mine in October, and now they're not even selling it anymore (at least on their website). The x10 looks to be (unfortunately) a test-bed phone for Sony's intro to the android market, and those who've bought it are the guinea pigs. When the Xperia Play comes out, I'll just give my x10 to my wife and get that one. I have already made my views perfectly clear to SE AND AT&T on their facebook oages and through emails to them. They could care less though.
