Does anyone know about how long shipping is and is there anything cool i can do to it once i get it or any good apps to download? Thanks
Did you try reading ANY of the numerous threads on this forum that discuss everything you've asked?
hey c'mon, the dude is excited! this isn't an 'iphone' forum, no need to bash him!
i find it fun to 'race' the iphoners in my office with a simple 'google' search...
someone calls out a 'thing' to look up...while they are typing away, you use voice search and BAM, you smoke em.
i know, childish, however, so much fun to stick it to iphoners.
Shipping is 1-2 days and apps are easy to find once you have the phone..
As the previous poster mentioned, I would place my bet for Wednesday.
As for apps.
You can google for some decent lists. 101android ro something.(just google best android apps)
Stuff i will personally recommend.
1) Get Google voice set-up for voicemail. Extremely cool. Text transcriptions definitely give you the jist(but certainly miss some words).
2)Dolphin Browser - Multi touch web browser.
3)TaskKiller - I like the widget for killing apps I want to full close.
4) Ebuddy/Meebo for an instant messenger.
5) Live Scores for sports scores. Only one that seems to be updated quickly.(maybe 30 seconds behind sportsline.com or so)
6)BetterCut - I paid for this(2.99???). It lets you adjust your homescreen short cuts. Download icon packs and use new icons/different words etc.. Makes for cleaner home screens. Free version is Anycut.
7) AContacts - Shows your call log with exact timing. Something i prefer to normal one.
8)Beamreader - PDF viewer.
9)Gdocs - Google docs viewer basically. Useful to view MS office stuff.
10) Ring toggle - very simple ringtone/vibrate toggle thing. I like it.
11) Agend Widget - Best widget to show calendar on home screen
12) Istockmanager - If you use TD Ameritrade this program is amazing. Level 2, trading etc, all real time, charts, the works
13)Tune Wiki - A tad better then installed music player
I spent more time then i expected on this post! Anyways, you can work at setting up your calendar/gdocs/even contacts to some degree all ready through google if you want. They all sync anyways. There are a ton more awesome programs, but those are the ones I have used over the last year or 2 on android(and redownloaded for nexus one)
Congratz, your going to enjoy it! Check out the threads here for the good scoop!

Congrats...i just got mine last Thursday..
Here is some info about delivery time frame
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619572
I'm considering replacing my wife with mine. I'm just waiting for the right app to come out ;-)
Though I should have really thought that one out before I named him Sam Google.....
Oh man I'm so pumped too. I ordered mine on Saturday, and spent all day thinking it wouldn't be shipped out today because of the holiday, then got an email at 11:20pm EST saying it has been shipped and will be delivered by 3pm tomorrow (Tuesday). YES!
So yeah, you will probably get it Wednesday.
please we do not need the mail man, see you faint once he comes walking at your door. hehe j/k =) hope you enjoy your phone. it rocks!
Just got it a few hours ago, stayed home from school so i wouldnt miss the fedex guy. haha

Have you seen the BS Fart App? http://www.bsfartapp.com
It supports farting on demand, on time delay and using Text Messages or the web browser. ...Apparently it has it's own HTTP Web Server so you can just WiFi over to it and fart away.
The app also lets you do one other thing via Text Message, you can have the phone with BS Fart App installed on it call some other phone. ...This allows you to eavesdrop on your mark, so you can wait for the perfect moment before making the phone fart.
Oh yeah, and it has an iPhone like kinetic list interface. But it also works fine on none touch devices.
I'm unemployed, so please pay the reasonable $1.99 I'm asking for it. I wrote the app entirely in C#, so it requires the 3.5 framework.
Does this work properly on QVGA devices running WM6.1 or 6.5?
omg this is completely senseless..
but good fun in it's very own way somehow.
Great start, now, replace the Farting with something useful and you have a great app!
wow what a waist of a great app this could be a great app menu system,gps location ,all for farts
you application is more complicated than most applications. too bad its still just a fart application
The application really looks like some serious software. I think you should use this software as a base and create something more useful
Oh, and you might consider fart by twitter, a social web feature for your fart app (e.g. send farts to facebook) etc. ;-)
brien
love the fart machine app you made. best 2 dollars i ever spent.
i have right now only one issue....it is when i look at the webserver ip address all i get is 2 numbers.
see pic for example i posted below for my error i have.
i am running an at&t fuze aka touch pro device which is a vga display.
it also doesnt place nicely when i open in landscape mode either.
like i said before great app so far.

Dude, how did you manage to NOT LAUGH during that 9 minutes 34 presentation ?
Wont it try to send the file trough sms? Will it find its way to sweden?
Purchased Friday and still have not recieved the app file. What gives?
Feels pretty cheap... joke any one?
Outstanding.
Yours is the only (out of hundreds of) software plugged on my site for which there is no free or shareware version. That speaks for itself in terms of how impressive your work is and how awesomely talented you are.
As with Chainfire, I imagine and hope your efforts result in at least some modest prosperity and of course in your case satisfaction from all the laughs and awkward moments you're creating around the world, two bucks at a time.
One demographic you'll touch, of which I'll belong once I whip out the debit card, is those who have no intention of using your program for its intended purposes but just want to witness firsthand the complexity, sophistication and finesse of your work rather than just watching the video.

Yep, I've been emailing them for support... they responded to the first email, last week, and nothing else since, despite repeated attempts to contact them. I'm wondering if something happened to the dude.
Folks, either something has happened to this guy, or we've been had. After a couple replies from him when I first started trying to use the app a few weeks ago, he has not responded to any of my emails in the last two weeks.
Has anyone had any success at all getting this app to start on a Touch HD? It will not start on mine. And I already paid for it. I know 2 bucks is minimal, but that's hardly the point. A couple weeks ok, Brien (the developer) promised to send me a debug version of the app so we could diagnose why it doesn't work on my phone. I've heard nothing since, despite four emails practically begging him for a reply. The last one I sent is basically just asking him if he's even alive.
I have gotten nothing from him. Purchased last week, sent emails, nothing.
So, I'm not sure what to make of this email, I'm wondering if it's because I recently updated to the AOSP 2.1 ROM that Darchstar is working on. I certainly didn't buy a Nexus One, but I hope by some stretch of luck that I'm getting one for free! Nah, will never happen

Hmm, I never got one of those...It would sure make me feel special if i did though! lol
Yeah I got one to when I wad running that Rom too
I also recieved an email like that but I was running Fresh 1.0
ugh...knew it was too good to be true.
I'm gonna wait for the HTC desire/supersonic anyway
Yeah got it too with the darchstar AOSP 2.1, hopefully we don't get charged the early termination fee from google if we change to a different rom.
Lol I got one too. I think its really funny If only I had a cmda nexus one
I got an email from Steve Jobs telling me how I had made an excellent decision by sticking to an Android based device. What a guy.
i got the same email this morning after installing 2.1 last night.
lol
i got that email too. weird, huh?
Did it actually show up in your gmail box on the web, or was it just in your phone, kinda like microsoft does when you first set up an email, it puts a welcome email in your inbox.
I got one too

It was in my web based gmail inbox, although it could have come to my phone's box first.
Was in my web gmail too. It happened when I loaded the 2.1 AOSP, so maybe it thinks I have nexus one because it is only device that runs 2.1 out of box?

I been Drooling over that phone since it was just listed as a WiMax device. I live in Vegas, and already have Clearwire for internet, would love to get 4G on my cellular!
I have Optimum for internet, but 4G on the Supersonic would be sa-weet!
Alright guys so im new to the nexus one and android as well. I have some backround on it but i just wanted to see what you stuff you guys would recommend i do to get the most out of my phone. I know that 2.2 is going to be coming out soon so i dont really want to root but which apps should i download and any tips and tricks would be appreciated.
So far ive been using it for about 5 hours and i feel like a little kid on christmas haha.

Same... I had my nexus one unplugged for 2 hours and i was down to 42% battery after unplugging with a full charge. Thats on wifi and screen brightness off.. =) good times
Welcome to the club
Root..root...root....
Why root?
- Can change any custom rom you want...Froyo, CM, desire...anything..
- Overclock the CPU to 1.113GHz!!!
- Change basically anything on the phone..icons, notification bars, themes, settings, trackball colours, wifi tethering
- Better battery life by using custom kernels (im getting 24-26hrs battery life - moderate to heavy usage)
- Nandroid backups, titanium backup....
- Change camera app to desire or the newly found 720P HI-DEF recording...
- and much more
This will make ure phone to be the best smartphone on the planet...

My advice:
- don't root it yet. Wait for FroYo OTA. Once you're on official froyo, see if root is even beneficial to you or not. The longer u stay 100% covered on warranty, the safer you'll feel.
- get these:
swype (there's apk here somewhere)
barcode scanner (to get apps by scanning barcodes on webpages)
aldiko reader (ebook reader app, AWESOME)
astro file manager (doh)
battery left widget (approximates your battery time left)
DigiClock widget (best clock widget, imo)
flashlight app for non-rooted N1s (there's one on market, forgot name)
NewsRob (RSS reader from your google news account, free)
ShopSavvy (probably the best app ever created - scan any product barcode, it tells you local+web prices)
xda app (don't forget to turn off signature in the settings)
twitter (official app is the best, imo)
Enjoy and congrats!

Yep. AFAIK, this one is better than the more recent one (people are having problems with the newer version).
This one works like a champ.
i waited 3 months before rooting my nexus, which i just did a week ago. the number 1 best thing about rooting is nand backups! you can create an exact copy of your entire phone at an instant in time. every single part of the phone is backed up from each text message down to every item in your call log. and obviously the apps are included. even whatever theme you are using, like a black notification bar, etc.
so no matter how bad you screw up your phone, or want to experiment, you can always bring it right back to any instant in time within a few minutes. that's my biggest feature after rooting.
and of course trying out different ROMs, like cyanogen, froyo, etc.

IS there a way you know of to automatically go to the last tweet you read on twitter? other than this I Would agree its the best. I used to use Twicca and that managed this simple task.
wow thanks for all the advice guys i will be looking at some of those apps..as far as rooting i know all the benefits but im not as advanced to perform any of those tasks..also i use a mac does that make a difference in doing any of that stuff..
i would like to try that swipe how to put it on my phone just put it on my sd card and run it?
I just got my Nexus One yesterday and thoroughly enjoying it!
I got my nexus 2 weeks ago and had it rooted within and hour of opening the box
I got into Android about a month ago when I got my first G1 off craigslist to experiment with (then bought 4 more off craigslist, I'm an addict lol, go big or go home).
Being able to change stuff on the phone to make it more usable / faster is the best thing. I don't think I could use a stock OS phone.

In all honestly, Android on the Nexus is the only stock OS I've been able to use for more than a day without hacking it or wishing I could hack/change it (like on dumbphones). I'm still on stock because I am waiting for Froyo and still deciding whether root is worth losing 100% warranty.

i think they will publish on 2012............
I was sent an invite weeks ago, they will get round to you...
Until it allows icons for apps and market submission ... Its just a bit of fun.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I got the acceptance today... it's not an application that you can download... it's web based and runs in an applet type application with a jnlp installer. Personally, I think it might be ok for prototyping... but good luck making anything that is close to advanced with it. It would be easier just to write the code.
i am waiting for my reply.........goooooogle............

Yeah, I just got one yesterday. But as eatmold says you can't use a custom icon on the phone (though that may be possible to do, but the people who know guard the secret - google say its on the list, but knowing them that will be 2012!)
However it is possible to export and import code (not java, some special google stuff) - so people might be able to exchange and share information.

Get folder organizer. Might be one word. It allows you to place a widget, with a custom icon, that launches either a folder, or an app. So you'll have a stock app in the app drawer, but at least it'll look nice on your desktop

yeah, that was such a debacle I felt like I EARNED those comics (LOL!) I had to keep a close eye on Engadget to catch the announcements, and the second time around they gave a very small window to sign up for an announcement when they had things "fixed". So I did that, then at some random Friday they sent me an email saying I had 48 hours to "click it or lose it", so I did... But thanks to IE 10 I had clicked "buy" on all 700+ and then the browser reset at "checkout"... So then I did it again in Firefox, only in smaller batches, which THEN freaked me out because after the first small batch they emailed me and said "Thanks for letting us know what your choices were" - luckily my other batches processed.
It was a wild ride.
Honestly though, Marvel would be wise to ALWAYS give away the #1 issues - they really do tempt you into buying more in a series that you would have otherwise passed on... Marvel, you listening? :good:
