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

Well my trusty hero which I only had for a a couple of months bit the big one yesterday. I went to the Sprint Store to get another one and all they had in stock for Android was a Moment.
So I guess I won't be around here as much.
This community despite some squabbles is incredible. I've enjoyed and appreciated my time here and the help I got.
The moment isn't a bad phone, I just pretend I'm running DarchDroid.

Well we're gonna miss ya for sure! Hope you can deal with the Moment until you get our EVO (providing that is what you're going to next ) I know we'll see you around......
.....Now you should root the moment and port all our goodness to them You'll be a hero......haha.
The Moment was rooted before the official 2.1 was released. They have it easy. An earlier version of the Samsung software updater let you run unsigned tarballs. So you just use that to install a custom recovery and off you go.
btw, great reference for the title. was one of my favorite books WAAYYY before the movie, they did a HORRIBLE job with Zaphod
good luck you going to sdx?
I prefer to pretend that movie never happened.
Either of them.
Going to miss you gunnyman both here and Android central.. be well.

Argh I miss my Hero already. The themes, the ports of different roms. Just don't happen over there in SDX Land. Someone is working on a Sens UI port though. On the upside. Live Wallpapers work perfectly and so does the 3d gallery at the same time.

So wait they just gave you a moment instead, no questions asked? Im gonna try this today as my hero has been acting up and if i get a replacement it would be my 4th phone already. Sprint told me they hardly ever give you a different model phone.
simple question, I probably got asked about my evo from at least 10 ppl since I got it maybe up to 15 people, probably like 3 of them knew what an evo phone was, and the rest didn't, probably like 4 iPhone owners loved it so much that they said they would switch to the evo don't know if they actually would but they said they would like 2.
2 'younger' iPhone users played with it for like 5 mins and I guess they didn't like it either way, I don't think I've gotten asked about my phone so much since I had the t-mobile wing and no1 had a touch screen. Haha share your experiences
Not including my family, I've been asked about it by each person (probably around 8 or 9) who's seen me using it. All of them know what the EVO is, and all of them have expressed a desire to purchase one. (two of them are definitely going to get one when they are available again.)
my friends sister thought it was the new iphone. lol
I just played with an Evo for the first time today at the Sprint store and it was incredible . There was a sizable crowd gathered around it when I first got there. It's one thing to see a screen almost the same size as my Hero in pictures, but it's completely different to see it in person. I was gonna try to hold out on a 2nd gen device until upgrade time in October, but that's not going to happen. Time to eBay the Hero and hope Best Buy has Evos back in stock by the 28th .

Everyone I know asked me about the phone because I was counting down the days for two months. Everyone knew the release date. Everyone knows the features. They all want to buy one. I should sell phones.
I had a girl ask me if that was an Evo in my pocket or if I was happy to see her.

same...
the question was more like..."Did you get your EVO?"
I got asked the day I got my phone if I had gotten it, and since I asked for the day off ppl knew I would have it, since then its a daily ritual to show my phone to coworkers. Customers ask about my phone, I think since I got my phone about 20 ppl have asked about it.
i was reading on another forum that sprint is going to be discontinuing the hero and the moment? is this true? if soo im really ticked considering these phones are less than 10 months old.
i just talked to my friend who works at radio shack and he confirms these phones will be discontinued and not carried for much longer. are there any sprint workers here that can confirm?
I'm trying to make a witty and profound response, but I can't concentrate. Oh mister pit, mister pit, oh mister pitiful.......
yeah it sucks, i bought the damn phone for 500 bucks last october and its already outdated. hows that for some silly ****.
yea i remember staying up late waiting for updates at like 3 in the morning now its pretty empty. thank god to faithful commited devs that keep the hero intresting...... (sigh) i need an evo

id think most users would be pissed right now. i think if they are doing this, it's just to get users to get a droid phone with 4g so we can pay that 'coolness' fee. no reason for you to take offense, this isn't geared towards our small amount of devs here, im talking about sprint/htc. even the damn 1st gen droid got 2.2 and it's about to be discontinued.

I honestly... don't give two ****s. It's the progression of technology. To move with the times, you need to improve with the times. I think it's not bad to discontinue the Hero, but it certainly isn't good either. Hey soul sister, hey that mister mister on the radio, stereo......

Probably recognizable for most of the die hard members here. It's like waiting for someone posting a new rom, you keep bashing F5 to see if something is there yet. Now I have a similar problem. Yesterday I received a message from my provider my contract is renewed and the Arc is on his way to my house as we speak.
I checked out Track&Trace and the parcel indeed has left the transport company this morning. Now I notice I keep looking outside the window every 2 minutes I already have the feeling I am a bit behind, while this phone just hit the market a couple of weeks ago.
Well, not a very constructive post I assume, but I thought I share something useless for a change with you guys. I already saw a few familiar names from people who came of X10, but going through the topics I already noticed lots of new names.
Hopefully some good devs buy this thing as well so we can fool around a lot with this beauty.........hmmm....still no postman here
Cheers,
Arnold

Arc is one of the best phones out there.
Rooting for a custom rom seems to be quite difficult...
You might have to wait a bit.

i know exactly how u feel. i ordered 2 and had to wait for a month before i cud get my hands on em. i called sony showroom everyday and eventually when it came, they gave me a discount
"all good things to those who wait"
@ arnold:
btw I ordered one for me and one for the mrs. same as you...
Well my wife changed here mind and went to another provider where she gets an ipad2 for free with a 2 year contract for 32euro a month. Really can't understand how they can make money on these kind of offers. I spoke with kpn for a while and in the end I get my arc for free now. In exchange it will be delivered by a very slow postman

Mate, you are going to love it when it arrives. It really is a huge step up from the X10.
I played with the X10 a little this morning and it made me realize how much better the arc is. Also, X10 feels like an absolute brick in comparison.
Hope it turns up soon!!!

like hyperx10 said, ull love it. it really is the sexiest gadget i've held in my hand and not bcoz i spent money for it ... really worth the wait. if only devs root it soon.
pollypix: cant wait for you to make awesome wallpapers for arc!
does the arc also has the 960x854 resolution? In that case you can use the 180 wallpapers i posted in the x10 section. Or would it be wise than to copy it to the arc section as well?
480x854 screen, so those wallpapers will work.

I got mine today too...
I was scared to go to the toilet because it is at the far end of the house and I wouldn't hear the doorman. It didn't help that I had to wait until 3pm for him to arrive
But it was all worth it am loving the phone so far...
If you think that's bad, how about actually having the box in the house but having to prevent yourself from opening it because you have work that needs to be done? xD
I got mine with Three UK, their "All-you-can-eat data" (real unlimited data usage with no fair use policy, tethering supported and advertised) for £40/mo with nothing to pay up front.
According to their store manager it's also unbranded and not SIM locked so when SE stop supporting it I'm hopeful I'll be able to unlock the bootloader
