is this true at all?

i want to upgrade to the N1 when it hits sprint, i hope soon?
anyways im hearing the phone itself won't be in sprint stores and you cannot get it serviced at sprint either. you have to buy it online from google and send it in for repairs, is this true? if soo i smell a BIG fail coming. will the phone even be branded with a sprint logo at all?

Why is this posted in the HERO forum?

That sounds consistent with how the N1 has been sold so far, as far as I know.

Well that has been their trend so far with the other carriers, so it's very possible, but it's kind of to early to tell art this point

That's Google's new method--buy from google.com/phone and don't worry about anything else.
Who cares if it's Sprint branded? As long as it's considered an upgrade you'll get your nice price.

Well, the problem is that since you bought it from google.com, when you have problems and call Sprint for help, they can say "You have to call Google."
Of course, Google doesn't seem to have any publicly available phone numbers for you to call, so you're stuck with their worthless message boards...
Plus, if the actual hardware craps out, you can't walk into a Sprint store and get it replaced the same afternoon, you have to deal with shipping in two directions and be without a phone for a week....
Or at least that seems to be the major complaint about the N1 currently on the market....

just wait for the evo 4g, its got better specs then the nexus and a bigger screen,

No, just wait even more, pre 2011, dual core Snapdragon 1.5ghz phones running android will be out. If you buy the Evo, you'll wish you had waited lol

i just think the idea of going without a phone while it's in for repairs is stupid when there are local sprint repair centers. i don't see this going over well with sprint customers if they follow past suit.

if you pay 69.99+ with sprint, you can get the full upgrade every 365 days so by the time that all happens, you can get a DC snapdragon 1.5 right around the corner and still have an EVO

Hang on to your hero then. I still have every phone in my sig as a backup. I'm glad that google is doing SOMETHING to shake up the status quo a bit. Remember if you buy phones that are sold and supported by sprint, you'll have to wait on sprint for things like android 2.1, just like we're doing now. If google is able to get sprint (and other us carriers) to budge from their traditional phone-tied-to-carrier model, it'll just put us one step closer to breaking the wireless phone oligopoly.
Many years ago, you had to buy your land line telephones from your land line provider. They were sold and supported there, and they had very high costs. Then over time, that changed and people bought phones that weren't branded by their carrier. (or supported by them either, omg!). I'm sure it was a very scary time, but think about how ridiculous that sounds today.

Looks like Sprint cancelled the N1 as well...

Jesus, I already have my T-Mobile version and it doesn't hurt me but I really don't like Sprint (and Verizon) giving hopeful N1 customers the finger.
Its not that they just said no to subsidizing the phone... its that since they work off a CDMA network (non sim cards) they will just block the phone entirely off their network. Even if you had a Sprint compatible version and called them up to activate it they would tell you no. Greedy SOB's.
I wanted the N1 to become a smartphone standard across all 4 carriers so that Google would continue to produce it for a LONG time and come out with subsequent versions over time. But with just two carriers supporting it I am scared Google might abandon it long term due to low sales.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/sprint-cans-nexus-one-in-favor-of-evo-4g/

Doesn't matter to you or me. We've got one of 2 current gen standard bearers (other being the Milestone/Droid) and ours doesn't have to go through a carrier to get OS updates.
All the apps will be built with us in mind, so fewer bugs and possibly more apps. We're basically Android Dev Phone 3. Nothing wrong with that at all. This is a loss for Sprint customers only, and the size of that loss is debatable.

Sucks to be a sprint customer. Will the EVO be better than the Nexus One? On paper, yes.. however that has yet to be seen. Most (or some) of us thought the N1 would be overshadowed by the Droid Incredible but that wasn't the case at all.
EVO vs Nexus One .... coming soon.

I wonder who's decision it was to cancel these phones...
Verizon, Sprint, Google, or HTC?
Who's to blame here?

Good question. If it was Google, I think they bailed just before the vindication of the N1. I am reading about perceived "issues" with the Incredible and Desire similar to those on the N1 regarding 3g coverage. The N1 is a damn fine phone, and Verizon and Sprint users are missing out on an absolute gem with a better forward path than anything else in the hardware queue.

Its DEF Sprint's and Verizon's fault the phone was cancelled. Google could easily put in a different radio (like they did with the ATT version) but Sprint and Verizon can just refuse to activate the phone on their network like they did. ATT and TMo didn't have a choice since they use sim cards. Sprint and Verizon are evil companies that force their customers into more expensive options instead of giving them choices

Same reason the verizon deal fell through. both spring and verizon are very controlled networks. Googles wants to essentially turn the cell phone system into an europe-esque system where phones and service are seperate entities.
Each nexus phone has to be programs for verizon or sprint. They probably couldn't come to terms with an appropriate price and management. They'd have to have the phones programmed before being shipped out, one more step and one more cost.
Then you have the headaches of pushing out updates. We saw how long it took Droid to get the 2.1 update. If you want to update a sprint android phone you have to take it to a retail store to do it!

thats a damn shame

sprint cancelled (probably, i'm just guessing here) for the same reason verizon did. they have a top notch android phone coming out, for which they reap the benefits of sales. why would they chop that by catering to a phone that would only compete with their own sales, but they don't get sales money for? neither att nor tmo have a better phone right now.
btw, i love my nexus one. i can see why they would worry, lol. incredible is a nice phone, but the chick i'm hanging out with just got one, i played with it, and i prefer my N1, tbh
have to get a sprint phone for clinics though this june, so hoping the evo gets out early june phone n1, but evo for hanging out with and playing

down with verizon and sprint they suck. Everytime I saw a sprint phone on that TV show, heroes I thought.... ugh, fags

If Sprint or Verizon doesn't want to subsidize the N1 because they want to push their own phone that's fine. But blocking an unlocked N1 from using their network just for the sake of being ****'s and forcing people into more expensive options? That's just bullsh*t and shouldn't be tolerated
Just because customers getting screwed happens in American business doesn't make it acceptable...

I partially agree with the OP here, it would be nice to have this across all carriers, but in all honesty, CDMA is just not something that is well supported outside the US. Having GSM is key since it is more the worldwide standard. I don't think not having CDMA is going to really hurt things for this device.

That makes no sense at all. Even if they didn't subsidize the phone, like AT&T, someone could buy the N1 100% with their own money, and then throw their money at Verizon/Sprint for the voice and data plans. All I could see is a net PLUS of subscribers on their networks. Now if someone reallly wants an N1, they'd be thinking T-Mobile / AT&T; a net LOSS of subscribers for Verizon/Sprint.

Except HTC probably already had the CDMA N1, or was FAR into the development of it. It saves hassle for everyone except HTC, who wasted a lot of time and effort.

A camera with no flash. 'nuff said.

Verizon and Sprint have a much much more closed network than Att or T-mobile. They wan't entire control of what goes on the network.

I don't think anyone would care because sprint customers would probably be waiting for EVO 4g..

personally, i really liked sprint. i had a heck of a plan with them, i got a lot of free upgrades without contract, and i always had a signal, no matter where i went. i did sometimes have to roam, but i had free roaming, so no big whoop.
i only switched over to tmo for the N1

Except you actually get 3G service with Verizon. Atleast they can justify charging more with a great network, AT&T on the other hand...

Verizon has a great network so they can at least justify the extra costs. Not att.
As for the digitally locked boot loader, it cost them my sale. I'll keep my evo and maybe get an epic. If not then something else later in the year.
This is foolish on motorola's part. They are one device off of bankruptcy, the droid saved them and the hacker community saved the droid for many users. Motorola lacks the apple polish so I'm not sure I see the closed system working as well.

Don't much care about DroidX, The EVO is better anyway Seems like people just cling to the droid name similiar as people clinging to iPhone. I got sucked in for a couple days but quickly came to my senses, once you get past the whole "me too" droid moniker you realize the EVO is really where it's at
I have to admit though Verizon really has the advertising down and Android likely would not be where it's at today without them. So I hope the droid x is succesful enough for them to continue the ad campaigns because I am addicted to Android these days!

This is just my opinion of course...
When I went to a local motorola plant to try and buy hardware directly from them, they kinda looked down at met and said they don't sell to the public. Snooty elitest that acted like they were the mafia or something. Christ, the monkey at the desk in the lobby looked like a 350lb bouncer. They had many of their products behind glass cases, but they didn't want my money. I had people I knew that worked at their assembly plants in the past. They said that the way they were treated was like you are just a number and we can easily replace you. They had a employment agency fishing for people to work there. If you messed up on just one thing in the long and tedious interview process, you couldn't reapply for six months. F them! They may have been "good" back in the day, but I think they can take their attitude and stuff it. Even some of the people that are in engineering have the attitude like they're better than everyone else. I don't care that they are slowly dying as a company. They shouldn't care what you use their product for, as long as you are buying their product. Idiots.

Calm down you two. What I meant was the fact that Verizon and AT&T both have their flagship phones locked down.
Also...when I was the Death Star, the 3G service was pretty good. I just couldn't justify the extra $30+ a month.

Never liked Motorola,Verizon nor at&t.but I'm hopeing one day t-mobile and sprint merge together as one carrier and bring out gsm/cdma plus LTE world phones to whip Verizon and at&t.hopefully by 2012.

I haven't closed my Death Star account yet... but I have to tell you I've had to use my AT&T phone to call Sprint 6 times since I got the phone on launch day. Why? Because my Sprint service was out.
And AT&T's 3G... no comparison. Sprint I'm lucky to get 500kbps consistently. AT&T I get at least 1.5Mbps consistently.

Most future phones are going to be locked down by the companies. That's until the devs get ahold of it. No phone is uncrackable!

It's just big company corporate thinking. They don't give a f if they're almost in the hole; they're out of loop with the rest of the world and most of the all, the end user.

When I had Sprint from 06 to Feb of this year, I got 2+ consistently... their network in Denver is completely shot now. I'm hoping its just because of the upgrades for 4G... But either way, I think its ironic I've had to call Sprint from my ATT phone for tech support.

Good bye again :)

This time it's goodbye to SPRINT and the Hero but not goodbye to XDA.
I'm hanging my hat At the Captivate Portal now.

I would join you, but AT&T IS AN EVIL COMPANY. YOU ARE MAKING A BIG MISTAKE. They ditched their unlimited data plan! The most you can get it 2GB/month. Their customer service sucks, their coverage sucks worse, and they lock down installing non-Market apps on Android phones. They are EVIL!

Yeah go ahead and sell me a phone and in less than 10 months tell me that I won't be getting a software update that We all know our phones can handle, just so you can sell me a Phone that WILL have Froyo but I'd have to pay an extra 10 dollars a month for.

[Q] Well Sprint is giving me the boot!

Sprint notified me via letter today that I would no longer have service after the 5th of July. I moved out of Sprint's service area around September of last year and knew this was coming eventually. I am actually shocked it took so long .
As sad as I am to leave Sprint and my Evo; I must move forward!
That being said, what phones are on the horizon? I will probably switch to Verizon because they still have unlimited data. I'm not adverse to prepaid as those services have come a long way in the last few years.
I am liking the Thunderbolt, as it is the most similar to our Evos.

When are dual core phones going to explode? There doesn't seem to be many on the market. I want something with some serious XDA support of course. There is no way I could run a stock Android phone anymore .

You could use it on virgin mobile, but they're a sprint mvno & you'd be using the latest sprint prl. And if sprint service didn't work for you before, guess it won't now.

Agreed I sold my HD2 used on CL for $200 lol
Sent from My Synergy Powered EVO

so when Sprint tells u... " u gotta go"
can u ever become a sprint customer again? and does ur phone get a bad esn?

Your ESN is only bad if it is report lost/stolen, or you did not pay your bill.

ok... and when can u become a sprint customer again?

Of all the new phones coming out, I'm just wondering why you would go with the thunderbolt?

Wow... $250?.. really? nearly mint EVO's in my area are going for $150. something like that would be asking for a trade of a blackberry or HTC Magic. lol
ok, not to get off topic, but in other areas are people on craigslist asking for iPhone 3GS or 4's for "every better phone ever"?
it seems like whenever I go on, I see someone going "I'll trade my stupid, dumb EVO 4G for an iPhone 3GS"
and I'm dumbfounded and almost willing to trade in my iphone that has sat here for a YEAR in for another EVO...because I love this phone so much. lol

Harsh guys. You would notice if you read the whole thing it says OBO. I don't expect to get that much, I just had to put a price in. Thanks for taking to time to search Craigslist for the listing though!
Just got off the phone with Sprint and it turns out they are only canceling the line that has the most roaming usage on it which isn't my Evo (we have three lines)
You're busting my balls sprint!

Sprint notified me via letter today that I would no longer have service after the 5th of July. I moved out of Sprint's service area around September of last year and knew this was coming eventually. I am actually shocked it took so long .
As sad as I am to leave Sprint and my Evo; I must move forward!
That being said, what phones are on the horizon? I will probably switch to Verizon because they still have unlimited data. I'm not adverse to prepaid as those services have come a long way in the last few years.
I am liking the Thunderbolt, as it is the most similar to our Evos.

I haven't really heard of any dual core on Verizon except for the droid bionic which probably will have a locked bootloader so it might get rooted or might not. At&t should have Galaxy S2 by then or the HTC Sensation on T Mobile hoping that its shipped with a unlocked bootloader.
