Just a quick post to say that I have just had an email from vodafone confirming the dispatch of my HD2. Saying that though it also says that it is being sent by royal mail, so there is bugger all chance of it arriving before the new year lol.

Considering the Handset-only price is around £500, they should have sent it by Special Delivery to ensure it was insured and therefore fingers crossed they have some sense and it'll be with you tomorrow.
Waste of space.
Why have you started a brand new thread just to say you hd2 is in the post??!! Its mindless threads like this that cloud important threads about the devices.
I agree, I started a thread labled 'current stock' so we could keep an eye on the stock situation in one place. This thread like so many others in the Leo section is just a waste of space!!!!!

I have heard on the grapevine that T-Mobile will not be stocking the Hermes, the reason for this is the high cost price, it will be similair to what the MDA Pro costs and for that reason will just not sell enough.
Can't guarantee this though as the same was said about the Nokia 8800 and Samsung D500 when they were originally released but a back track was soon made!
T-Mobile Germany gave it a name already as the Vario II, and there is a flyer on their website. T-Mobile UK makes its own decisions - let's just hope they see the Hermes as a solution to the current shortage of Wizards...
whats a hermes and what will it do for me?
ok how is it going to be better than the wizard? just wondering expect i'll break my wizard about the same time this new one becomes affordable.
PS: some device that can run the day to day relationship with my girlfriend would be pretty useful. or even a text message auto reply option, sense the mood from the incoming text and reply appriately.

You could just have it display the word "APPROVED" but it only gives them warm fuzzys when they see it on the cash register display after using your card.
Just seen pics of the hermes thing and well i'll stick with the wizard unless i plan to build a small outhouse then a few hermes would be needed.
PS: the early stages of most relationships surely could benefit from an sms auto reply app.
1. scan msg
2. count instances of 'love you' etc... deduct instances of 'i hate you' etc.
3. use the score to judge the mood
4. probably apologise for conflict in the middle east
5. send reply
be funny if it could learn and have access to ur phone book. you could wake up one morning and its decided that girlfriend 1 is too much hassle so its dumped her and propositioned someone else for you. brilliant!
might be worth saying at this point before this thread get any dafter.
best keep PocketGirlFriend v0.1 top secret, as if PocketBoyFriend ever got written then things would get daft!!!
i dont see why they would. they have the MDA same thing... right?
I'm so excited I just ordered mine today, I also have a Cliq made my Motorola...I wouldn't advise anyone to buy one...Motorola can't even update the thing until 3 months later, it still has major issues...Can't answer calls, constantly droping calls and all that crapola Blur integrated with it..So I order my nexus today.. I feel like i just bought a Lexus....lol but I'm happy any comments on the phone? bugs? anything i should know when getting it? Because I did some research and haven't found anything crazy, seems google is keeping it updated and fixing everything it can on the spot.
Congrats, you're gonna' LOVE the phone.
I ordered mine on day one and haven't had any problems with it at all.
I installed 'Better Keyboard' because the only thing lacking, for me, on this phone was the keyboard.. although it's not THAT bad.
Over the past year I've had the Palm Pre, HTC Hero, iPhone 3Gs and the Nexus One.
The Nexus One is by FAR my favorite device.
Enjoy.
its the best phone ive ever had outta 13 devices by far.. you're gonna love it
Phone is fantastic.
Keyboard wise:
Install HTC IME (available on this forum) or Swype(also availbale on here). Both are free and far better then stock. Neither requires root or shouldnt.
So there isn't any lagging when using the nexus? Such as when you click a button it takes about 10 seconds for it to respond, or when you type fast it doesn't catch anything?
10 seconds? You gotta be kidding This monster doesn't know what lag is.
I've had my Nexus One for about a month already. I'm very very pleased.
I recommend reading this thread for tips and tricks http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624033&highlight=tips+tricks
my Wifes cliq is such a piece of sh!t. U will LOVE the n1 congratz
Is it really necessary to start a whole new thread to tell us that you ordered a nexus? I know its exciting and all getting the phone but it's adds more clutter to the boards that isn't needed.

No seriously what is not needed is your remark. This is a board it thrives on the amount of posts/threads created.
wikipedia message boards/online communities and you will maybe gain some knowledge about how this kind of stuff works.
To the O.P you will love this phone. I went from iphone 3g to the g1, to palm pre, mytouch 3g to this and it is by far the best phone I have ever had the pleasure in dealing with.
Congratz on your exciting new phone...it fly's first class!
hey guys, for those who have got their new nexus one recently, can you tell me if the touchscreen of the new batch is behaving well? I had mine on the third day after it was released. it had the touchscreen problem. and now i have sent it back for a refund. however, i REALLY love this phone, and am considering ordering a new one again. so, here comes my concern.
Thanks in advance.

Yes I'll report back to you tommorrow when i get off work, I have to go pick it up from fed ex.. ...I feel like a kid that can't go to sleep because they are going to disney world....
Congrats...I took the plunge and ordered one today too.
In the UK, after import duty, import VAT and DHL's charge for the privilege of them submitting your N1 to customs (yeah they charge for that too!) the N1 costs ~£490 (~$760US) ...a little too steep for me!
I pre-ordered my HTC Desire 2 days ago from clove.co.uk for £430. Roll on April!
The huge technology forum in Australia www.forums.whirlpool.net.au is down and out atm.
There was a fast growing thread on there dedicated to this new phone, and thought if you find this site, stay here and sign up It is more in depth than the general discussions of the i9000.
Pop in and say hey
Rod I think you are one I know for sure
Hi dan,
DDOS or something for whirlpool isn't it? sucks, but at least I'm more productive today without checking the forums as much!

I love this part:
Modesto maintained his sense of humour during the attack.
"Looks like Whirlpool was the target of at least 20,000 spams or scams coming through the portal," he told iTnews.

I'm going to try a factory reset on my galaxy tonight, battery usage lasts me from 7am to 10pm now, but at 10pm its flat, and thats with me barely using the phone all day (train ride internet only and text message checking). Also have very flaky wifi, keeps dropping in and out.
I don't want to have to send my phone back to the Uk though so going to try factory reset to confirm its not apps causing it and I might buy a spare battery (techbuy has got them) to test it out. Want to eliminate as much as possible without shipping it back..

Didn't receive one here, but if I had, I would have no problem telling them what I really think about their locked bootloader policy, design flaws, etc.
100 bucks for an hour survey... I'd be all over that! ;p
unfortunatly, alot of people must of wanted to tell them what they thought of the Atrix, as I did the quick questions, and they stated that they already reached their quota for the survey..
out of $100, awwww man!!.. haha..
got that yesterday, tried to get in, but as soon as i said i didn't have the laptop dock they said "thanks we're full".

Samsung did the same when I bought my Galaxy S, they even called me up for some more details about my answers.
And got the $ 6 weeks later
Dear Moto,
this is how you should be running your cellphone bizness:
unlock the damn bootloader
let them have the kernel source
the devs are willing to fix the mess you created with the blur crap
if you need to save money somewhere then fire the whole team that does blur, AND the guy that decided to lock up the bootloader / kernel
go ahead and make like 1 phone that runs win phone 7 so microsoft doesnt come after you a55
I guarentee you this will work, and don't forget to give me a job after.
k thx bye
I just got this email the other day. Im probably going to go ahead and do it

Per my answers, they stated they reached their quota.. hopefully you can get in, maybe they didn't like that I didn't buy the laptop dock, as that was one of their questions, if I had the laptop dock..

Basic question.. ie..
Who bought the Phone...
Who made the decision to buy the phone...
Is this your phone(shows picture of Atrix)...
did you buy the laptop dock(shows picture of the laptop dock)...
what day can we call you(give you a choice of 28th & 29th of March, I chose both)..
what time can we call you...
then I got shot down that the quota was full for the survey..

Yeah right, I'm sure they just want feedback from people who are actually getting the "full" experience this phone can offer via the laptop dock. But for the people who just wanted a really good phone they don't care to hear about it. Makes me wonder, is there anyone with the "tethering" package getting capped as well? I don't remember anyone specifically pointing that out....
I also got this email, but got it on March 18th. Signed up right away but havent heard anything bacck yet.
I think that if every one that wanted one signed up for email notification then they will have enough phones but just to be helpful and safe I had friends that do not want the phone sign up so more would be available.

Email notification has nothing to do with how many they allocated for the initial release. They allocated the initial batch way before the signup page went up.
I am sure Google will have 50 allotted for us early adopters.
...
This is really the silliest N4 related discussion I've seen so far!
I think we are going to break a record in the amount of TRASH threads today.
Haha. I hope they do sell out. If I don't like it I will be able to sling it on ebay for a profit!
I create 100 email addresses to get notification for.. just in case
Personally, I don't think they'll have enough, to be honest, a lot of manufacturers usually struggle during the first batch. I don't think I've really seen a launch where they don't sell out. Hell, even when ASUS launched the Eee Pad Transformer Prime, I was the 6th person in line in Canada to get it through NCIX and they still managed to delay almost a month after the tablets started shipping worldwide before I got mine after I preordered it.

Personally, I hope that they do sell out. I want to buy one tomorrow, but I also want to wait to read initial reviews. If they sell out, my decision to wait will be made easier.
