colorware? - Nexus One General

Just wondering if anyone out there has actually ordered their nexus one throughh colorware? Or have gotten theirs colored? I'm just wondering if anyone has done this considering a new nexus colored from them is 800...
and to send yours in is only 175....seems that the prices dont make any sense to me
Personally, I'd just have some fun and dissassemble my phone myself and paint it

Eh, the price difference makes sense to me; for each that they sell outright, that's stock they need to purchase, and keep onhand untill called for - and hope it gets called for. They can take a bath if they overorder, overestimate demand.
~60$ seems like a decent discrepancy between you-provide-hardware vs we-have-to-keep-one-in-stock-for-you.

The price difference is also because of the warranty. If you buy a colored device from them you get 1 year parts and labor warranty (if anything breaks, send it back for new one), if you send in a device to get colored it's only something like 30 days and colored parts only or something.
I have not had my n1 done, but have had several other devices done and the quality is just amazing. The color bonding process they use creates a stock colored look rather then having just painted over the stock case (if that makes sense at all).

wow.
That's neat, i didnt know they had a warranty with the painting.
I was actually considering getting the only white nexus one i love my white g1

Anyone done this yet? I'm looking for a way to waste $200 and it has come down to brembo rotors or colorware my N1.

Although colorware does do an excellent job, I can't see spending 200 dollars on a paint job. For that kind of money I would have someone replace the case with some kind of metal, like the Titanium iPhone.

One vote - Brembo rotors
But, how sweet would an all white N1 look? I hate the two tone it has now. It would also make the N1 really easy to sell, although you would never make the money back on the investment, maybe half.
My car stops fairly well as is but the N1 could look a lot better.

Yes that is legit. But I am sorry I wont be buying it. I buy a lot of stuff on ebay and that is well overpriced. If you want it go for it. But hey I find that overpriced.
How low can I get it for and where?
Also, will I have to wait for english ROM?
Many thanks.

The one on ebay has Operation System : Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 for PocketPC Phone (World Wide English).... so that kinda solves your problem of the english ROM. And it solves another of your problems that you havent mentioned. That is the chinese characters on the keyboard. i am sure you wouldnt want that. But it is $1500USD...
............................................................
The one being sold here by WU15903 whatever his name is.... err he is selling for $1300USD right? But it has a chinese ROM for now not a big deal because you can overflash it. But there is one problem that the keyboard has chinese characters on it. So it is certainly a option i wouldnt choose. Almost the same price. I guess those are the only two ways to get it for you...
...................................................................................................
But if I were you.... I would go onto google. Select preferences and select chinese, japanese, taiwanese and korean languages only. then search for 'buy dopod U1000' and many shops and other places where you can buy it for cheaper. except its all in jebrish so you gotta guess your way through using logic. and maybe you can grab yourself a sweet deal for $1000USD. hmm?
.....................................................................................................
But if you are a lazy guy and dont want to take the trouble of searching. Just close your eyes and go for the ebay one. Although you will face maybe a $300-$500USD loss. But i guess when you get the phone you wont find any flaws in it and will be very happy regardless of the price. So just go for the ebay one... lemme know what you choose.

Anyways going back to the topic. what have you decided fpbiii? where will you buy the dopod u1000 from?
Still haven't decided.
Believe it or not, the dealbreaker will be if it can fit in my pants pocket and I can handle the discomfort.
Can someone please post a picture of this thing in your pocket or something to help me decide. Once I know, I will buy! I like the one on ebay, but paying 1500 is outrageous. I will wait until it comes down around 1100 or so. I would take either the silver or black one.

Ok if you want the black one order it from 972telecom.com. thats where i have also placed my pre-order. Its around $1000CDN on pre-order. Much cheaper than the dopod u1000 and much better. Let me know what you decide. You will have to pay $50-$100 on customs. I agree $1500USD is outrageous. And truly its uncomfortable in the pockets of your trousers. There is a high chance you might damage the screen or keyboard in your pocket. It is like a mini-book in the trouser! very discomforting. I am sure you dont need to see pictures for that
********************************************************************
Let me know what you decide ^^ because i would highly recommend 972telecom.com a store in montreal. Very good store. I will be picking up my black athena from there in april.

so did they say even if the device comes out to be more expensive, they won't charge you more from the pre-order price? if that's the case, then great news. However, when you say it's much better then DOPOD U1000? what do you mean? they are the same? just the colour is different? is that your personal view point again?

Yes all the devices have similar spec's. I just prefer the black one because of the material it uses and I have never possessed a HTC Branded phone before. I dont know how much of your story about dopod is true but they are certainly a huge company like t-mobile. I also like the material HTC used for the body frame part. Anyways the pre-order price is fixed. I can pay it all off now or later. But the price is fixed and i will ask him to send me an invoice/quote to proove it hence.
*************************************************
Regardless, what i find amazing is that htcphonestore.com still retails Universal for $1100USD and Athena is only $1500USD.... i mean like does that mean that not much has changed from Universal -> Athena? Because I find that Universal is only worth maybe $500 - $600USD.

actually, the devices have exactly the same spec. btw have you hold an Advantage in your hand? did you go to the 3GSM? just want to know that.
Well, if the pre-order price is fix, then you can send a e-mail to expansys or mobile planet to tell them to remove their listing of Advantage, because they won't get any order if the price elsewhere is so much cheaper.
Also, this is just my PERSONAL though, the website you place pre-order on, it doesn't look very professional for me, any one think the same way?

why dont you fly to their store then.. and yes i havent held a Advantage in my hand ever. But just so that why dont you call HTC and ask them what material is the body made of? prolly that will satisfy you?

man, i though you have been following the post before, i was one of the tester of Advantage, i actually hold one in front of me before. I don't need to call them, because there is nothing i can find out. Basically, the only difference between them are the colour, material is down to your personal taste, all i can say is DOPOD (probably Ameo as well) is smoother surface, where Advantage is rougher.
One thing i am sure is you will be flashing DOPOD or Ameo Rom in the future.
p.s. And also, i am not saying the store is fake, i am just saying their website doesn't look very professional.

well, if you have place your pre-order, then there is nothing i can say,
although i will suggest any other people who consider buying the Advantage to wait until it's actually in-stock.
If the price is like what nuclear said so much cheaper than the official price, than i am sure all other store will have it as well. Don't rush yourself into this. Better wait and see, maybe you can get a even better deal!
Not much different if you place your pre-order now, you will still get it around the same time.

Why I think the Nexus One will be the best Android phone until the next Nexus phone

My opinion;
Despite all the other HTC Android phones coming the Nexus One will remain on top. The reason why I think this is because having a phone directly from Google itself means you'll get updates before anybody, and popularity from any other 'Droid phone won't beat out a Android phone from Google itself.
So to everyone who has a Nexus One or those people who are scared too get one because another one might make it look obsolete..DON'T WORRY. The Nexus One will remain on top due to the fact that it's from Google itself.
Just my two cents..
I agree with you on that. I just made the leap from the TP2 after running Android on it for a couple of days. I love it. Its awesome.

LOL, I did the same thing. My TP2 is now collecting dust.
So what you're saying is that because this phone is being so heavily backed by Google it will have a very long lifespan?
I think I can agree with that
I came from the CLIQ and man is this phone a speeeeeed demon!
well so far there is very little (to none) support from google......and Nexus One is the worst cell phone experience i have ever had.
The phone is good, the hardware is good, the OS is ok.......It just feels like everything is in beta or made from cheapo parts.

Well, you know, you should lay off from Google a little. This is there first directly sold phone, and they weren't exactly prepared for all the whining and problems people were going to have. I don't know how they didn't expect for nearly everyone to complain, but apparently they weren't exactly ready to join the phone competition. They haven't had to deal with any problems till now because they have been selling their Android powered phones through carriers..
I honestly don't understand how this phone could have so many aggravations for people though.. like the above poster said, you should also be more specific.
The good thing is that if the 3g connection is good, htc/moterola/exc can't put the blame on Google, Google has to accept the blame, thus forcing them to fix it snappy (hopefully like we've seen with the radio haha)!
coming from touch pro 2 the N1 is amazing
gotta be honest i miss the keyboard but its alright
just the fact that the phone has a 1ghz processor tells me that they are palnning to keep it for a while. ive had an iphone 3g too and so far i still like the n1 the best ...
just one problem so far - the youtube player is stupid and slow... =[
other than that 5 stars

Are people still getting dust under the screen...or has that been fixed.I'm debating if I should get the N1.I had the G1 and loved all the mods you could do to it and the N1 has twice the specs so it's a powerhouse and the only phone out there close to those specs is the HD2.Man I just can't decide, maybe I should wait till all the kinks are worked out.

I don't know if there is a limit. But if there is, then there's even LESS reason to send it in right away, like so many people are doing, and then getting phones with the dust issue once again. Get the phone, enjoy, send it back at 11 months.

Yea I hocked my N1 to the lucky bidder.
I don't really know what I didn't like about it. It felt truly like it wasn't the BEST smartphone experience I could have had. Everything just felt, weird? Slow? Uncoordinated? I don't know. Its a fine piece of machinery no doubt but I don't think I was ready for the inherent clusterfuck Android is.
And in all seriousness I probably will come back to this. But for now...
Its back to the Razr. Most reliable thing in existence.
Rofl, back to the Razr? Most reliable phone in existence? You've got to be F'n kidding me, right?
You can't be serious.. a RAZR? Welcome to 1999. Lol -That's like browsing the web with a potato.
It's ok, the Nexus one, two, three, four.. are all waiting for you.
There's no waving emoticon?
Well, enjoy I guess. No disrespect intended here, but if you're fine w/ a Razr... Then it obvious you really don't need, nor WANT, a smartphone. That's not meant to be an insult, but rather a simple observation. Smart phones are about everything OTHER than the phone portion in my mind. For me, that's the last thing my N1 does .
Good luck.
That's sad... I sure hope it enjoying your razr, gotta admit its a very reliable phone, I once threw it at someone and left him unconscious. Helped me get out of a potential danger. LOL
The nexus one isn't for everyone I guess, specially the technology challenged

I'm not sure what you mean by slow and uncoordinated. Please elaborate. I have never seen a phone as quick and responsive as the N1. If you're a hardcore blackberry fan they you probably wouldn't like the N1 anyway.

I bought the razr when it first came out and it was 600.00 on a contract. I had it two days, dropped it, and it landed on the corner hinge. The area that cracked is so thin that the screen came unattached and all i had was a keypad and speakerphone to make calls on. I had to send it back to motorola because at&t wouldn't insure it, and they lost it. I got it back 3 months later locked, and they wouldn't send me a code so I had to pay for one.
Never buy motorola without a swap plan in place, they lunch too hard on getting things done.

Never buy a motorola phone regardless. They're terrible designers.
The nexus definitely feels a little unstable in many respects. But with its hardware and being presumably on the top of Google's mobile priorit list, this phone has more potential than any other phone out there. Its almost as smooth as the iPhone with the potential to put the iPhone to shame. Just gotta be patient and let google iron out the software. This baby's still a baby!

Please explain how it's unstable. Are you rooted and running a custom ROM? I'm totally stock and my phone's been rock solid stable. A huge contrast with my rooted G1 with various custom ROMs.

Their phones really are quite ugly, though, if we're talking about design rather than build quality (which the dust issue qualifies as).

Have a look here, you might have a bit more luck selling it.
They seem to sell for a little over £200 on eBay.
Ebay indicates £200-£250. I've kept my eye on a few new ones to see what they go for, and those quoted at £300-£400 don't seem to be shifting at all. I guess people looking to spend top dollar are also thinking about iPhones/Android devices etc.

Aye, it's without a doubt WM 6.5 that's keeping the price down, a shame really.
*edit*Oh I missed the link to the Marketplace in my first post, doh.
Aye, WM has so much potential, especially blended with HTC's Sense UI etc. It's just a shame so many (of the already limited) apps are clunky or useless.
Its a shame that its worth so little, but with HTC releaseing new phones every month there has never been very good resale value for them.
I will be happy with £220 when mine goes on eBay tomorrow. 5 happy years of HTC ownership are about to come to an end!

Along with the fact that it's on a deader than dead OS.

I'm not sure how that was intended, but I will take it positively
I'm not sad about it, I have loved all of my HTC's but unfortunately I have less time than I used to, to give the phone the attention it deserves. I need something simple and reliable.
I've no doubt I will be back, but for the short term I am excited to try something different. After 5 years of WM, it will be nice to see how the competition do things.

I'm buying a Nexus One

I found a brand new one on Craigslist for 300 bucks, will be picking it up tomorrow, I think I'll be keeping the Nexus S as well, unless the Nexus One just blows my mind somehow lol..
I don't think it will no true multi touch
I've never actually used a Nexus One, but am I the only one who think it's ugly as sin? I'd be turned off to it simply by aesthetics.
I've always loved the way the Nexus One looks!

i never purchased one because of that, it's hideous, and there are not enough after market full body case swaps options for it
the skins are too much work, and cost too much
I was enamored of the N1's appearance when it first came out, but not so much any more. The NS is much "sexier" in my opinion.
Why do you want an N1 now? It's over a year old in design, and has some serious hardware flaws in my opinion. The display and especially the touchscreen and capacitive buttons are all problematic in one way or another (can't see screen outdoors, can't do multitouch accurately, capacitive menu buttons misaligned.) The camera also puts a nice pink blur on every pic you take.
If you can get past those hardware flaws, it's not a bad phone otherwise. The sound quality is good on calls and the 3G speeds are really good. There's also a ton of software support with custom roms and mods and other hacks.
Surprised you could actually find one "new" this late in the game.

Sent from my Darkginger CM7 Google Nexus S running Netarchy's amazing kernel!
