Hello All,
I feel like I hit the Lotto, My Nexus one is schedule to be here friday by 3pm. I got the confirmation phone call from Fedex today. Im coming from a G1. I feel so excited to finally have the N1 in my hands. I have so many Q's for you all but Ill start by reading the do's and dont's. But give me some love everyone...
You wont regret it, thats for sure.
I hope not the $576 was pretty brutal.
Great device - certainly worth the money with all of its capabilities.
Congratz! Once you get it in your hands, your whole life will change for the better!
You'll love it man... You'll notice you'll grow more beard too once you get it, lol... Well maybe its just me. hahaha! Enjoy!
I also ordered it yesterday, should be here today =D cant wait.
Using it in the Netherlands, hope i wont have problems :O
By the way I paid 580$ for mine... I think I got ripped off! lol...
To get you guys even more excited, Compared browser speed and I just saw my nexus one owned my coworker's iPhone 3Gs first hand, and he asked for a rematch this morning. He got owned again. Specially after using dolphin browser. thought I'd share.
It's an awesome phone. I was nervous about finally moving away from a physical keyboard, but I'm so glad i did. It also makes my iPhone friends jealous. Mostly because of the live wallpapers, lol.
Thanks Everyone, I just woke up and all im thinking about is when the Fedex courier will be here. I cannot wait.
mine got delivered on trash day and when i herd that truck at 9am I was soooo excited just to see my damn trash man :-(. do yourself a favor and dont looke window everytime you think you hear a truck.

Haha too funny because at my office I was the man with Kings Eclair Rom with live wallpapers on my G1. Until a coworker got a Droid. So Monday morning I'll be holding my head high and regain the title at work as, Top Phone Guy and Phone Guru again..

Oh and when I get back to school, I cant wait to rub it in the face of my 16gb Iphone 3GS owning friend
Just wanted to go into christmas on a postive note, as there are too many compaints with the HD2, you gotta appreciate it for all its beauty and hardware and shizzle ( although to be fair, I expect I'll be on soon complaining about problems to
So yeah, merry christmas everyone, and a happy new year

lol thanks Im loving it
Hope yours came today
And I just looked at your sig, I had the samsung E250, infact it was the phone I had before my leo
Have you had it yet? First thoughts?
WB
Sweet.
I Just register'd since my HD2 just came today. Im at work now but cant wait to go home and unbox that piece of beauty!
No, not today. I called the shipping company and they said tomorrow.
So, 29th is the lucky day for me
I'll keep you posted.
Enjoy your new phone, Lorin. I guess that's Florin, actually.
Anyway, get ready for a great experience.
hey don't get too worked up... I've had mine for like 3 weeks now and... it's FREAKING AWESOME. =)
the only thing the iphone is better is battery consumption and internal storage. in all other points the hd2 pwns the iphone 3g(s) by far.
OK, i officially have the device.
First impressions:
1. Its smaller than i thought, which is good!
2. The screen is so cool.
3. The earpiece and the external speaker are OK, i don't have the problems some are stating. The external speaker doesn't have bass frequencies but its OK. The TP2's speakers are way superior.
4. SMS's are fine, they go through without a problem.
5. When i play with my TP2 i wanna go back to the HD2. My TP2 looks outdated now. I don't wanna look at it anymore. Not to mention that for the first time i feel how bulky it is
6. The typing for me its OK. It might be a little too sensitive but i can get used to it.
So far i like it a lot and i'm already convinced that it will be my main device from now on.
@pedmond: No, its actually Lorin.
I got my Nexus One, and while I expected it to be good.. I did not expect this much! Literally the best phone I have ever had in my 14 year old life (After previously having G1s, MyTouch's, etc.) It feels so smooth, its so fluid.. I love everything about it! Google, I wuv you guys..
Now, as I've said before, a better phone better not come out by Xmas.. don't wanna sell this thing so soon ^.~
Wait, you're 14? How did you afford this phone?
Lucky bastard

My 14-year old had one for a day. She couldn't do without a physical keyboard so we're waiting until an android handset comes out with one. She loved everything else and, despite the lack of a keyboard, my Nexus One is the best phone I've ever had. I come from Windows Mobile.

It takes a while to get used to the on-screen keyboard. I know from experience, I came from a G1.
After a few months, I still can't type as fast as I did with the G1 keyboard, but it beats having to turn the phone sideways and flip out the keyboard just to type a few letters in some app. The convenience of the big screen and using the on-screen portrait keyboard without having to turn the phone sideways outweigh the gained typing speed on my G1.
your lucky dude..14 years old with a nexus...anyway I love this phone..coming from a touch pro 2..I don't miss that phone one bit..not even the keyboard..well maybe a little lol but still this phone is great and so is swype.
Speaking of typing on a virtual keyboard...have you seen the video of a guy typing 83 wpm on a virtual keyboard? Albeit, it's not a N1...impressive non-the-less.
wow when i was 14year i didn't even have a dumb phone lol, congratz on your nexus one hope you enjoy it
My nexus one surprises me every day. It is definitely the phone I've been waiting for.

I'm 16 and I afforded it because of money I earned selling 3D designs and birthday money (hehe) but ITS ALL MINE. So if I break it, I know what it feels like to lose $530.
Saw this 15 year old drop his iPhone in my class, screen shattered, and he told everyone, its alright, parents will buy me a new one. Can't always depend on them, you know what I mean?

good for your parents, you will thank them some day for installing some decent values into you
it really is pathetic how much kids are given these days... NO concept of money what so ever... mommy and daddy just buy everything for them... when I see 16-22 year olds driving around in their brand new BMW's and Audi's i literally want to vomit... I have no respect for them... I work for everything I own and it feels god damn great!
I'm 14 and pressured my mom into getting it on release day, she ended up getting it on release day too lmao

i got mine today after days of frustration with tmobile! at long last i thought! what a beautiful little slab of magnificence......i had it for all of twenty minutes before my wife nabbed it! now its here phone and i'm stuck with my bloody touch pro2. gutted!
nothing new here...just thought i'd warn y'all!
back hand the woman and tell her to get back into the kitchen and make you some food!
j/k =)
smart wife!!!
I bought my wife a HTC Diamond 2 a day before I ordered my HD2.
She gets mad when I won’t let her touch my HD2 w/o my supervision....
Oh well, I have seen her drop her phone 6x on the kitchen floor in the past 1.5months she's had it. I'm not taking the risk!
Just buy her one too. I always ask my wife if she wants one, when I get a new phone.
Problem solved
send your gf/wife to a finger nail artist at your expense, it's almost impossible to use a touchscreen phone with those long finger nails
Luckily my gf would find this phone too big for her tiny little hands. Small hands make anything she holds look far bigger!
They're buy one get one free, go back and get one for yourself!

Buahahahaha, i craped my pants
I thought I should share. in Dec 2008 I bought an iPhone for my wife and Xperia X1 for myself. She still has that iphone but I moved from X1 to X2 and then HTC european version and then Austrlian version which works on ATT US.
Now she tells me that iphone is the best since she has not changed it then where I got 4 phones.
Now we have fun bashing each others phone.
Well, I was thinking about X10
My wife doesn't touch the HD2. She thinks its too complicated to use compared to her mytouch.
She wants my iPhone though, but I'm keepng it.

v.wise
*clears throat*
Excuse me my dear sweet husband . . . .
Lets please be reminded who is paying for this phone. AS for you carrying the phone I think it is only fair I carry the HD2 because you said I'd love the Motorola cliq and that was a lie. It was clearly nothing like the G1 and I trusted your geeky opinion. I think they should revok your membership here clearly on the basis that you have no clue.
AS for the wet farts who told you to ***** slap the mofo exsqueeze me. you should be shaking the hand of a woman like me who can appreciate the value of a extraordinary phone. i may not be the triple tapped gadget calendar girl but trust me you will rarely come across someone who posses a vagina who will put down that kind of money for a mini computer.
And as a woman with small hands it does look rather large in my hands but as any man can appreciate the tight grip i hold on it without it actually being dropped and smile with pride because a girl gets it is all I need. And as for my nails I had them done last week and they are sports cut to enhance my qwerty keyboard speed. Ninja like moves, cat like reflexes!!
xxxx
wow...NOW who got ***** slapped!?!?
damn i should never have shown her this!
damn man better luck next time...lol Busted
it was pretty much as beautiful as i though it would be, my co worker is the advocate for our store. ill post pics later the packing is a little on the wierd side, but its eco friendly lol.
***pics posted taken from hero came***
***update2 just posted 2 new pics video coming when i upload it***
I don't know why the box is making headlines... its what's inside that matters. I love the box, new and eco-friendly.
Jealous that you got to play with it!

Comparing the screen to the iPhone, is it glass or plastic?
I'm switching from iPhone to Evo but I have not had the chance to hold one and compare build quality.
My question is how much lag is there? Not just the home screen but the apps. FOr instance, when you open messages, how long does it take to display things? That's the number one thing I hate about Sense. Too much f-ing lag.
joecrack305, if you're in miami let me know which store so that i can come check it out.

Wait for the op's pic.
sorry havent responded
i have both hero and iphone and they feel plastic, the evo def feels like glass.
lag wise not existent at all i swear its so smooth
jvs60 - no ones technically suppose to know about us having the evo, but every corp store in america has one person with a evo. my supervisor is the one with the evo and i know my manager def wouldnt be a happy camper if i told you to swing by, but go to any store in miami and ask to see the evo advocates phone test your luck.
tried seeing one at my local corporate sprint store. met the advocate who had it, said he was sworn to not show it off or he would get in trouble.
it is so awesome. I feel like the guy from the burger king commercial who has the small hands and hates going to burger king when I am holding it. It is pretty big, and comes with an 8gb card in it. No lag at all when putting live wallpapers on there (unlike my rooted hero). Damn I love this phone!
giddyup!
I feel like such a school girl! This thing won't be out for another 3 weeks, and I'm scouring the internet for everything EVO!
From what I've seen online, the lag is minimal...remember it has a Snapdragon 1Ghz Processor in it...Go play with a HD2 and you'll get a feel for the speed...Android 2.2 is supposed to be faster than 2.1 from what i heard also.

Coverage reasons in my local area.
They are great in metros but in rural coverage is spotty and most of the time roaming. At least around here.

Can you play with the keyboard? Is it easy to type and stuff? I am coming from using a slide out keyboard so I am kinda worried about having to start using a onscreen keyboard.
thanks
The hero was my first onscreen keyboard and the iPhone was my second
The hero I'd give a 7
the iPhone 10
evo so far a 10
The screen is so big and easy to type on it's amazing for the hero I use swype now and I will probably use that in the evo when I switch
Since I am still waiting for ANY word on my Xoom shipping, I wanted to poll and see how many are still waiting? Indulge my Sadism...

Thank you mom.
I think it does, im tired of *****ing in the other one about my declared war with Motorola
Mine came nicely packaged Wednesday at 11am, free case and all.
got mine yesterday from fedex with the case
Should be here on Monday standard shipping
got it yesterday
got it an hour ago
Little laggy in the browser, but not too shabby
Got mine yesterday 2 day shipping.
Got mine today so you can close the thread now! lol
Got mine today. Poor packaging, xoom box was not sealed and xoom was slidding around freely in box. Everything appears to be fine. I love this thing, only complaints are the speaker placement and the screen contrast. Othewise, I can't set this thing down!

Well add me to the received tracking info side. Should be here by tuesday.
Only 3 more days left of *****ing & moaning for me!
F Motorola, lol, that is all. Still nothing, no tracking or call back
I am also still waiting... I am tempted to go buy one locally to make sure I like it. If I dont I would return the one I bought and sell the one I got from Motorola for some money. But after reading some reviews I think it will be okay.
