Spent the afternoon with my Grandkids yesterday and showed my new phone to my son - he was loving it and before I left, I took out my sim card and gave him the phone. I have a great kid - he's an adult now with kids of his own, a big mortgage, a stressful job and a high maintenence wife [I adore her, and she is worth every penny he spends on her.] .. It's rare that I see him giving himself expensive gifts. He does everything for his family and it reminds me a lot of my father .. besides, I love giving presents to him. When he was growing up I was a single parent and sometimes I couldn't give him what he wanted - Now I can.
That is on ehell of a admirable act!
It was a "feel good" moment for the both of us!
possibly for him more than you

I am expecting an Xperia on Friday - I never really got to play with the Dream so if the Xperia doesn't thrill me, I have another phone that is allowed an upgrade so I might buy another.

Santa, guess you didnt care much for Android
Is there somebdoy who would kindly give me G1 ?
I need only one
that was heart warming.. thank you for sharing

good luck man. I'm trying to stick with it. Would really wish Android would come so I have something new to play with.
I know you asked how much we would pay for it, but what do you think is fair? I ask because I'm interested.
I'm interested also .

Ebay man. I just sold mine also (I to bought an iphone, need that 3G, bunch of apps and awsome touchscreen) It just sold today on ebay for $700. Not bad for a used HD.
doesn't ebay take part of your money?
bump...
..........
price? I already pm you.
Changing to Iphone? thats baaaad. three of my friends bought iphone, 2 got rid of it under 14days for free return and bought htc tytn2 and Diamond. Third one didnt because he paid so high price that he has to stay with it.
Good luck and have fun with your apple.
edit: remember, if you read apple forums never believe what they say. I would give you URL but it is in Finnish so useless. Funny to read those apple people: "My keyboard is badly made, battery doesnt work good anymore, bad screen, but other than that I like it. it is good for me."
ive used an iphone before.. ive never had a problem with it.. its so much better now with all the apps. tons of people have it.. theirs no issue. their are problems with all the phones.
no phone is perfect and not every phone is perfect for everyone.
thats all that has to be said.
I like the black rubber case... where'd you get it?
not sure where.. go to the accessories page in this forum and look it up

Have you sold it yet?? I'm interested
hey man goodluck with your sales. I'm starting to think if I should let my go too. I miss functional keys for text and is currently thinking about saving for the n97. Same size screen plus a keyboard. Hard decision to make. Also thought about the X1 as well. You stuck on getting the iphone 3g for sure? Why not consider unlocked phones with the US 3G band, that way you can get 3G data for less.

He could give us his battery cover...so that one of us could make his own matt battery cover.
I'm actually surprised how sustainable it is
Well someone had to try .
"You can do anything with windows mobile device" LOL
Could of sold it for a lot of cash, or given it to me...
Anyway, an alternative way to do a hard reset
That's a service centre training vid!
from a psychological point of view, that guy needs some SERIOUS help. watch how he shivers while desperately trying to dismember the (quite tough ) phone...
on another note, he could have simply given the phone away...i know many people who wish they could afford a Topaz...
i posted this comment on youtube, but he removed it...sooo go figure.
A part of me died watching that video... lol
£320 phone down the drain the guy is an idiot.

Yeah, I know what you mean. There's always one f***wit with too much money to care about anything. It hurt 'cos most of us saved up to get our "baby" and we treasure it!
Tough phone though, even after a few blows it still mocked him, that metal frame is hard to destroy

Fail for software issue. Re-flash was what could have saved the beautiful device. Shipped ROM was slow and unresponsive, so I could see where I would have wanted to MAYBE smash mine if I was so inclined.

He's a super idiot.
So what was the problem with the phone?
He was to incompetent to use it so it angered him?
He had to show the phone who's boss since obviously it was more competent than himself.
What a waste, people starving and on the streets and this guy buys expensive phones and destroys them, and then brags about it to boot, sad
he could have just given it away on the street. But ... as all greedy men ... why give when you can destroy?
Waste of materials, damaging the environment, waste human efforts, waste his own money. He should have just sold it....
wot a [email protected]#king idiot!!!
he was obviously one of the top guys from the apple corporation!!!!! LOL
This isn't exactly Dream related, but definitely Android related which is good for all of us, for those who aren't aware, sh!t just got real tonight as Verizon launched its first Droid(aka Sholes) commercial:
http://www.droiddoes.com
Not only is the commercial straight comedy in the best way possible(at the expense of Apple) but they keep it 100% real, no disclaimer required. I say bravo, wish T-Mobile had launched a campaign like this when the G1 rolled out, the commercial will play Sunday during the NFL games so people who missed it can view it in HD. Hey Apple, Welcome to the Revolution!
I was just watching that. Good for Verizon. Good for Android. I'll be sticking with my G1 and TMO but daddy has Verizon and he may be adding another line soon...
ilove it...Apple will "sauce" their pants
that was hilarious, i remember sir*mez saying something about that commercial last night.
Anyone notice that it says "DROID" is a registered trademark of lucasfilm at the bottom? Wonder if they're just allowing them to use the name or if there's more to it.
Would be funny if R2-D2 and C3PO ran android. I suppose R2-D2 would have a Hero rom and C3PO would have a motoblur rom, what with him speaking almost every language.

hey haykuro
long time, no see around these parts. good to see you are still around or maybe making a comeback now that the traitior is out in the open
yeah, Droid is a registered trademark of lucasfilm, so it's licensed but unless I'm getting Obi-Wan'd this is definitely the Droid I am looking for. The specs on it are awesome, and allegedly it's as thin as the iphone with it's sliding qwerty, can't wait till HTC matches this and throws it on good ol' T-mob.
looks like the htc dragon will be, or at least the phone they are suspecting to be the dragon. it has a keyboard too, that is what i am gonna go for
lets sure hope so..... but in case it is a bust we have thissss

I Love it
man...
my wedding is on June 19th.....
but guess what?
I LOVE MY NEXUS!!!!!!
man i love this phone. its design is close to perfect IMO. this one is a keeper ever long after it is obsolete, simply because its a rare smartphone, is from google, and will be a nice little web tablet to keep around for nostalgia. its going in my permanent collection.
most phones i buy then sell after a few months and move onto the next thing, and i recoup about 50% to 75% of my money and use that to buy the next phone.
nice!!! the videos are really good.
OMG!
It was built for lasting!
i love it!
i cringed (a lot) during the testing episode.....
I love my nexus.

I dunno what hurt me the most during the testing phases, the fact that it was being physically punished or the fact it was running Android 1.0/1.5/1.6(no clue which one - 1:03)

That could easily be 2.1, the development emulator that runs 2.1 looks exactly like that.
