so then the question remains... if you had a chance to do it all over agian would you?
would you get the same phone? or one of the newer phones out now?
That is the question! I feel so locked in by Sprint's SERO program, that it is difficult to leave for ATT for example. The 1200min +unlimited text and unlimited internet for $59/mo. I would like the extra RAM in the Kaiser though (and SIM cards are great so you can change phones every day). What has come out since the Kaiser?
I'm in your boat too. I like my Mogul, but I'm not convinced. I've had it for almost 3 weeks of my trial period. I've already had to replace one handset because the scroll wheel froze up and wouldn't budge. Now, my replacement has a really light spot on the screen. I'm tempted to get a Touch over a 3rd Mogul in 3 weeks. Anyone think that is a good idea?

Depends on what you're looking for. Personally, I would go nuts with the Touch. I hate the fact it doesn't have a keyboard and has very few hardware buttons. I'm not into having everything on the touch screen. I prefer hardware buttons I can find by feel so I can keep my eyes focused on what I'm doing.
has any one seen the pictures of the wing 2?
looks awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just wanted to know what everyone thinks
o and the G2 also
If that really is the new wing then it's awesome really glad they didn't take the keyboard out and make it full touch like the G2 I love my keyboard, I love the color also but I hope they give us more color options this time around .
hopefully the wing2 will be 3g
hopefully that is not the wing 2. i really would not be able to use it with out soft keys and a dpad. but i my contract expires i am guessing right when it comes out.

I agree with the hardware button need. But unfortunately newer devices are all going a clean look. I would even go as far as to say iphone-ish (not a fan myself). But after trying the Touch Pro with hardware softkeys and D-Pad I realize I would rather not have them instead of fighting with the touch capabilities on the controls. The d-pad will be sincerely missed for navigating and game play.
Damn I hope a T-Mobile US Wing replacement comes soon.
yeah, i think this all touch screen thing will phase out eventually. I will miss the dpad to. But i think phone makers will bring them back after a while. And i cant wait to get the wing2. But i just got a new wing thanks to my insurance! So right now im good. Tmobile needs to catch up and release some real phones! Windows phone all the way!
from the smartphone community.
sorry to say guys but my time has come. I will still be active thru-out the XDA community, but no longer in the Maple Forums for i have moved on to another device.
Ill still be around for about a week or so until my new device arrives, so by all means..bring on the questions LOL
SoCal
Didnt have your Ozone for long huh? What are ya goin too (Just curious)...?
Are you selling that Ozone? I'll take it off your hands
I've been considering on upgrading to the Touch Pro 2 now that it is available at Verizon. Not quite sure though. I got a glimpse of the Leo, and I may want to hold out until that phone debuts later next year.
See ya around SoCal. Out of curiousity, what phone did you migrate to?
no i didnt have it for long at all..what 3monts i think??
..i tried and tried..but i just cant get the feel for it. I miss my VGA screen, and the full on feel of WINMO.
im moving on to a Touch Pro 2..according to VZW i should have it by Fri, Sat the latest. Im hoping my order is processed prior to them being out of stock.
Sounds like the better choice. I would die if our company decided to allow Touch Screens... But currently is Non-Touch only.

Good luck! Let us know how is your experience with the new phone.
Me, I got tired of touch screens. I'm very happy with the Ozone.
I love to have a keyboard, no stupid screen rotation that takes forever, tons of hw buttons and not have to use your nail for most of the options.
I may go back to touch screens in the future when the technology and windows mobile gets better.

good to know that Merck & CO isnt the only company out there like that.
i went thru the same issues for about 2.5-3yrs, so i wound up getting my own phone and then having a work phone. It was a pain the the arse, but i got what i wanted, and they had what they wanted!

my fiancee DIGS the Ozone. she doesn't put it down! as soon as i got it for her she turned into a smartphone guru lol. i asked if she wanted a touchscreen but because of our toddler, her pregnancy and her nails..the answer was "seriously J, what am i gonna do if i go into labor and i need to dial a number..i need a dial pad and keys, keys i say"! yea..she was cranky
Well, stop back in and give us a full comparison of the two phones.
I want a nice blend between touch and non-touch screen phones. That means, I can fully use a keyboard without the need to tap a screen if I don't need to. I enjoyed my PPC6800 for that very reason. But, it was slow. The Palm Treo was ok, but the lack of soft buttons was killing me.
See ya around, I may be joining you soon. That is, if my business ever starts to be productive again.
will do JT!
i should have it soon.
as of 9:50pm PST last night, the device was placed on back order and will not be here until the predicted date of 9-23.
sucks..but oh well
Awww... Poor baby.
lol.
hey guys. i'm on att and i am thinking about getting a nexus one in the near future. after reading this article from engadget, i am a bit skeptical now. do these 3g problems really only exist on tmobile's network? i heard that it could also be a hardware issue. will they be improving the hardware on later revisions of the nexus one? i would like to have feedback from people using the att 3g phone on att's 3g network. are you having an reception issues. etc.?
thanks

The only thing about the hardware, is that the radio is where the palm of your hand rests, while holding the phone.
If you already have good coverage in your area, you'll have no further issues.
If your coverage currently sucks, and you drop calls... Well, you really shouldn't be considering adding to your ATT contract anyway.
Just my $.02
I never have any problems. The thing that bugs me most about the nexus one is the dust under the screen. I don't want to send mine in because, I need a phone to use, and know I'll probably get a dusty phone back.
also in the earlier youtube review of the phone, many reviewers complained of the unresponsinve touch buttons. have those been fixed?

I myself am planning on getting this phone in 46 days (when my contract is up). I can answer this for everybody. Apparently you just have to know where to touch. If you touch the bottom of the "touch buttons", it doesn't register.. however if you touch the top of the button it does work most if not all of the time. Really once you get use to it, its no big deal.
The touch screen was never unresponsive, its just sensitive, this happens when the palm of your hand touches the bottom of the screen while you touch other parts of the screen, after buying a case for my phone, I never had the same problem again.
3G is a big issue with Tmobile users, like myself, my co worker however has ATT and never had problems with his 3G.
You'll love it

May I ask what case your using? I've been in the market for buying a case before ordering my Nexus One.

I answered that question for you, its fine. You just tap the top of the capacitive button and it works.
If you are coming from another phone with capacitive touch buttons (ie Droid / Milestone), you will be really bothered for about a day while you adapt to the N1's touch buttons. After that, you'll forget about it completely.
For 3G, just try it and see if it works for you. Either return it or sell it - you will definitely find someone willing to take it off of your hands.
+1 true that.

Yes, the capacitive buttons along the bottom of the screen only register touches along the top half of each label. It's strange, but if I had to guess why I would say that during testing Google/HTC found that they were accidentally triggering the buttons while using the trackball and probably moved the input pads up a bit to avoid this (a software change rather than hardware). But that is a complete guess on my part.
As for the 3G issues, the whole thing was blown out of proportion by tech sites looking for page hits.
Go for it! Nexus One rocks! /end shameless fanboy-ism
Just the facts...I did have issues initially, but nothing that a new ROM can't fix. Capacitive screen was overly sensitive, but toned down after flashing CM 5.0.5.3. I'd say it's even more accurate. Physical keyboards are for klutzy neanderthals.
Noticeable speed increase and better memory allocation for app use after flashing. Soft buttons below the screen are only registering on the top half of the icons...not a big deal but I can understand how someone can think there's something wrong with it and press harder (like I did). Oh yeah...no 3G issues here. Downloading 2.8mbps / uploading 1.5mbps on AT&T.
Doesn't take that much effort to fully customize N1 to meet your demands 100%. You can even do CPU-killing processes by running Pandora, Navigation, wifi-tethering, car dock bluetooth (on speakerphone), AND make a phone call....all at the same time. Snapdragon processor kicks a$$!
i like my nexus one but i do have the 3g problem. i live in vegas and while im downtown i get good signal but at my house, like 15mins away from the strip, my signal switches back and forth with EDGE and 3g, my touch pro 2 doesnt do this.
do you have tmobile or att

I'm curious to what he answers too. Anyway are you any closer to making a decision on what phone you want?
Originally I searched night and day to find out what the widget was that had the beautiful weather forcast when you turned on the phone. It was the same widget that had the windshield wipers when it was raining outside. Eventually I found my answer, its the htc sense home screen. I looked into htc sense further and I find it to be very ugly. So thats why I'm going with the nexus one over the htc desire, etc. Besides I have the old apk of beautiful widgets before htc told them to take it down (that has the same look and feel as htc sense). I know htc sense can be turned off but I still like the feel of the nexus one over desire and some of these other phones.
Thats my story.
i am pretty sure that i will be getting it but just when i have the money saved up. poor college student ftw haha. almost there though

Cool, which one are you going with? The $500+ at&t one, the $500+ dollar t-mobile one, or the $180 contract t-mobile one?
So, basically, I am living in israel for a year so I can have a year of grade-free religious studies and not have to worry about my gpa or take tests. The only problem is that Cell phone selection is pretty crappy.
So I went onto ebay and bought a G2 that shipped to my parents place and a buddy of mine was supposed to bring it to me tomorow but I found out today that I have the hinge problem pretty bad. (my dad showed it to me via skype)
I contacted HTC and they said I am still under warranty but they may not even replace the phone if I send it it. I can get my parents to bring it to a local repair shop and get them to just fix the spring, but the only problem with that is that they may not know what they are doing with the g2 as it is a new phone.
Normally it wouldnt be an issue to just send it it to HTC but the next time a friend is coming in from the states is early january and I don't want to have to wait that long for a phone that may not even get repaired...what would you do?
p.s. I also happen to have a friend here in israel, and although he is not proffesionally trained, he has opened up many an HTC phone. can anyone who has done the spring fix themeselves tell me if it is a particularly hard operation to do on the phone? When you are done doing it does the phone show any sign of being opened to the untrained eye? Sorry about the long post
mountain out of a molehill, you are making, my friend.
get the phone and stick with it. Your dad may not realize that this is normal for the phone.
Get the phone over to the promised land now... and then if you are so unhappy with it... fix it yourself using a thread on how to repair your own hinge on this here XDA Forums!
todah!
Thanks for the reply one thing I noticed when he showed me the phone was that it was almost exactly the same problem as this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvHE5lZ1tCs in that the screen is a little wobly after the keyboard is deployed. Is that also normal?
Thanks for the quick response!

its normal. Its basically a non issue. I think people just expected it to be rock solid like its predecessor the G1. A lot of people took it way out of context and basically caused such a ruckus over this...
anything with hinges.. is going to be a little free to move around because.. its on hinges!!!
unless the hinges are broken theres no problem with this phone. I mean.. its not for the construction worker or for people who dont have the time or energy to treat it with some respect.. its not exactly a wimp either...
You can always tighten it up a bit to give it more "snap"...
Also.. you will find that your need for the keyboard is not as great as you think... because of the capability for voice commands and the incredible swype and gingerbread keyboards on this --- its so intuitive I rarely need the keyboard anymore.

+1 for the keyboard, i only use mine for long text messages or emails, otherwise i use swype/HTC IME keyboard.
I wasn't happy with mine at first but now I don't even notice it.
Agree with androidcues on the fact that people are making waaay more of a big deal about the hinge than it really is.
The things that are shown in the video linked above, or similar ones (like the phone opening while holding it upside down), would never even be noticed by most people. While I wish the hinge design would stay closed a little more "firmly", its an extremely minor criticism. I still quite like the design, and the general build quality of the phone is excellent.
I'm not as concerned about the loose hinge as I am about the fact that it wobbles after the keyboard is deployed

This again, as stated earlier is really a non-issue if you are normal and take care of your phone. HOWEVER, if you throw your phone around, like to sit on it, or work construction where your phone goes through hell each day, this WOULD be a problem. Personally, i dont understand how some people take such poor care of their phones .

The things the guys is doing in the Youtube video you posted, you and every other other normal person will never do in regular use. The way he is pressing the bottom edge of the screen with the keyboard deployed, or bending the top, there is no sane reason for you to ever do those things. Its just a nitpicky point discovered by somebody looking for problems where there aren't really any.
Its a self fulfilling prophecy. Like a hypochondriac surfing WebMD, the more of this stuff you read or watch, the more you are likely to find a "problem". Stop sweating it, and wait until you have it in your hands. If it really feels like its defective, then send it to HTC. You have full warranty for a year from the manufacturer, I believe.
long story short, your phone is fine, a little give in the hinge is normal.
get that beautiful piece of art to you, root it, and live it up my friend

very well said. a perfect summary of the illusion of the issue.
Thanks for the heads up guys, I think the current plan is to get the phone to me and if it really bothers me, I'll give it to my friend for surgery, I remember seeing somewhere you could buy some of those warranty is now void stickers to put on the phone to make it look like you never touched it... Can someone give me a link?
Htc will check your phone and determine whether you have voided the warranty. But...I'm betting you'll be voiding it anyhow. Just send it back the way you found it. Document recovery hboot info etc so you can find the files to flash when and if u need to. But you shouldn't and lmfao at a 'sticker'
