10 Days left to Decide to Return and keep At&t Nexus1

Uuugh.
Really miss....generally:..Nexus on Att is significantly faster than Evo 'Evdoh' and for the most part faster than 4G....in Chicago!
But..man, really like
*the larger device..
*volume
*VidConf
*Monthly cost
What to do?.....wait for Froyo? Scorpion..? Motorola 2G?..
Need an Epiphany!

I'm in the same boat as you, except I have 26 days to return my Evo to Sprint OR pay $400 in Early termination fees to T-Mobile and lose My Nexus One.. I'm really torn myself. I went out and bough the HTC HD2 when it came out and LOVED the huge screen, but it was obviously Windows mobile. Now with the Evo, it has everything I want, but I would miss the Nexus. I have no idea what to do.

The Epiphany has happened in the form of "root".
Froyo will be just around the corner now and when optimized will make the EVO rock hard (not that it doesn't already). I just boxed up my Nexus yesterday and put it in the marketplace.

Yeah, I'm going to have to sell it to recoup some ETF for T-mobile.
I'm just kind of worried that T-Mobile will come out with some more kick ass devices.

my family just switched over to Sprint from ATT and I sold my N1 for $430 after using it for about 6 months
i loved the N1 because it was the perfect size and pretty damn fast

I am about to cancel my Tmobile line and pay the 200$ ETF. I am sure they will release a badass android eventually(which I have been waiting for) but, I am fine with the EVO for now until something better comes along on sprint.
My 3g Speeds are also faster on sprint than tmobile, and obviously the 4g is nice.

There is that new Samsung phone with 4G. Try it again later 4G will only get better while ATT 3G is at its limit. There is that one droid phone coming, Try tmob if you like pricing. There will be great things coming though xda does not disappoint.
Its just jotted ideas so its not really in any order

If it helps.... I sold my t-mobile nexus one on Craigslist for 400 to go towards my etf on t-mobile and purchasing the Evo... same boat as you.

Advice Regarding Moving on From My Nexus One

I've had my Nexus One since April, and right now after seeing the new Nexus S (which is some-what disappointing in terms of upgraded hardware) I've decided it's time to move on. I'd like to sell before the Nexus S comes out since I believe the price of the Nexus One will decrease. I'm currently considering the following: G2, Nexus S, Captivate, Galaxy S i9000, and Mytouch 4G. The problem I'm having is deciding, see I would really love to have a front facing camera which would come in handy for me but, the phones that offer it don't work with AT&T 3G (except the i9000). So, I would like to get a captivate or i9000, but I'm not really fond of the i9000's design nor either's Touchwiz & Samsung's updates. I would really love a G2, since I could easily sell my Nexus and buy one with money to spare in some occasions and it's a very attractive device with great build quality (except for that hinge issue), but again, no AT&T 3G and no FFC. The Mytouch has the FFC, and is a nice phone and all but probably the ugliest thing EVER in my opinion. The Nexus S has everything I want (except for AT&T 3g) but, I would probably have to shell out $100-$200 to get it. So, what I need is advice. If you were in my situation, which would you choose? Thanks!

Still in a contract for another year :/

if i was in your situation i would not sell for a couple reasons
u will get STRESSED going back to edge. i mean its ridiculously slow coming for a 3g one
In a couple months they will be releasing some kick ass phones..wait patiently ..regardless the n1 is already depreciated
You will be trading one of the most customizables phones for some that you are not sure if it ll get the same support
IF you sign up for tmobile you buy one g2 and get 1 free (just got an email about that)

Get a Desire Z from bell canada, unlock it, and that's your G2 with AT&T 3g support.

The one I am impatiently waiting for is the Motorola Olympus for at&t. They say q1 of 2011, which is just when my warranty is running out for the n1.

the nexus one is still one of the best phones currently out there. my opinion at least. i hope to keep this phone another year before i get another itch. til then i hope my N1 doesn't get any scratches.

I'm looking at the desire Z also for the next phone. I'd like the price to come a bit first though. I haven't found it for less than 650 yet.

Wait a month 2 c whats new in 2011...

Went from a Nexus to a G2 then back to a Nexus to make some extra cash to get rid of the keyboard.
Currently I traded my Nexus for a new Mytouch 4G.
It is a very fast phone, solid build, decent camera, and its 4G, not to mention it has some nice novelties like front facing camera and a hard button for the camera and 720p recording out of the box.
Alot of people complain about the UI but i havent seen much slowdown or problems with it. It's a pleasure to use and i have yet to remove the battery bc it froze.

I went from a Galaxy S to the N1.
The screen is definitely a BIG step up from the N1, both in responsiveness and quality.
The phone itself though, frustrating. Good hardware potentially but crippled by bad implementation. Out of the box they are laggy and unstable. The GPS is basically useless for anything other than telling you where you are at that point. Start moving about, and its gone. Then its the going into a coma for no apparent reason.
The N1 is probably just about a more dependable device. Not sure I'd go for the SGS over an N1.

I would try to get a dual core phone with vanilla android. So I recommend that you wait.

my advice is it sucks but you have to just wait for an ATT 3G version to come out. just wait for a nexus S with att 3g is your only choice. the nexus one is still awesome enough to ride it out for a bit longer.

Well, see im stuck in a dilemma. I can either a. sell my nexus one on eBay right now for $450 (offer I just got) and add $for a Nexus S OR b. wait it out. The only thing i'm afraid of is that the nexus's value goes down and when NS comes out everyones gonna be selling and their gonna be a dime a dozen....
SO, what do you guys think I should do? I have until tomorrow to decide to sell...

Personal finances are different for everyone. If U need the bread now for an upgrade, then sell at the best price.

I say wait it out. The Nexus one is going to get Gingerbread soon and the value wont depreciate as fast as you're afraid it will. In a couple of months it will be on a very small list of phones running Gingerbread and people will be willing to pay top dollar for it.
I'm in the same boat. I can upgrade right now but there's nothing on AT&T compelling enough to make me switch. Hopefully CES will give me something to look forward to. That LG Star is actually looking surprisingly good, as is the Olympus, and I definitely want Tegra2 on my next phone.

Got some hands on time today with Vibrant 4G

I went by the local into mobile store (which is now a direct outlet for corp store for T mobile.) and a rep I know showed me the Samsung 4g demo they just got in today. I really like the silver color in the back and the it seems to have a slightly heavier feel to it. Feels better in my hand than my Vibrant does. The demo was fast and very smooth and could not detect any lag. It was showing 4 bars of H and was very very fast downloading from market. Seemed even smoother than the custom roms I have (and have now) have used. I was a little impressed. I still do not believe it is worth an upgrade from my Vibrant but it does have me thinking. Anyone else have any comments or experience with the new 4G?

I got a friend who's a T-mobile rep and one who's a T-Mobile store manager (both at the same store) and I got to play with it a little while. It was pretty nice. It definately feels a little snappier than any of the roms I've used on my Vibrant. I'm pretty stoked about picking mine up tomorrow morning.
And for all the haters pondering as to why I would by a V4G when I already had a Vibrant? I sold my Vibrant for $250, I'm paying $200 for the V4G = no money out of my pocket. $50 extra FTW.

thats cool man... I honestly feel this phone is a decent upgrade untill the summer dual core phones drop. I also am picking one up as soon as my t-mobile opens tomorrow. I'm giving the vibrant to my smartphone virgin girlfriend who couldnt be happier to get my vibrant with bionix V and the purple theme. in turn I get a new SGS4G by starting a line for her and in 5 months im elegable for an upgrade on my line... hello dual core phone.

Yeah i got some hands on time with one a few days ago. It was nice but not impressive. The S2 will be the game changer for me not this one but it still is a nice phone, just only a tad better than the Vibrant

Did you upgrade in order to get the discounted price? If so imo that was a horrible decision with the dual core phones on the horizon and the Vibrant 4G just isn't worth the upgrade with only a few benefits over the original.

Shhhh! Don't say that.
It's cause the screen is nice, obviously...

I thought tmobile doesnt allow subsidized phone prics until two years from previous upgrade. How will u be eligible for an ugrade after 1 year since ur last upgrade?

Important note on internal app storage for the Galaxy 4g...Internal space for apps is about 210mb(1gb total for internal memory this time and the rest is the Rom, etc)...I barley put on any apps and it keeps giving me the warning that my memory is full and I need to uninstall apps even though it says I have 50mb free ...I already moved every app I can the the SD card but missing the old Vibrant's internal storage already...Not going to be so easy to just flash new ROM's either. On a positive note, the phone is fairly responsive compared to Bionix running at 1.4ghz. Of course you can tell the differance, but it doesn't feel as slow as I thought it would

He has a friend that should be fired for beating the system and causing the prices of phones to continue to go up. He should be ashamed of himself.

I picked mine up this morning and I have so say that thusfar I am impressed. Does seem to be a bit more snappy than the original, and network speeds are definitely better. I have yet to be able to test the GPS as I picked it up and came straight to work.
A coworker of mine has the original we put them side by side and with him showing a 3G signal I was getting 3000+ on the download speed where as he was only getting 700. He is running the official Froyo update.

thats with 2 year contract, and i believe you didnt have one before otherwise you wouldn't be able to upgrade for that price....

You can upgrade before the 2 year mark. I believe you are eligible for a full upgrade discount after 22 months. You are however eligible for discounts prior to that time but it will be at a smaller discount. Lets say at phone is $199 at full discount, then it will most likely be in the $300 - $350 range at one year. I hope that makes sense.

Also note the Vibrant 4G is selling for $149 on amazon right now. Don't tell anyone.

not really sure where to ask this since there isnt a V4G section up yet but has anyone tried rooting this thing yet?
Edit- Right as i went back into general i saw the V4G root thread...whoops! Please ignore.

I wonder if it will be LTE ready? And when?

now if only they'd make me happy and announce a slider keyboard version of the Nexus... But this is still good news..

I had almost given up hope sprint would get this phone, I guess i get to wait on buying the sgs2 a little longer.

Honestly i hope it has LTE even if i dont have it cause if I'm signing a 2 year contract after a year I'm sure ill want lte.
But if not then i guess Wimax would be ok.....
I would probably only use 3g anyway as i very limited 4g here and never in the areas here where it is at.

Unless you're in a major city, by the time the contract expires you probably won't have LTE available. I, however, already have decent WiMax coverage... and want to keep using it.

That's great that it is coming to Sprint... may decide to stay after all.
I doubt it will be, but if the Sprint version was a slider I would definitely get it. Swype, apple KB, GB kb - can't get used to any of them, gimme a good hardware KB anytime of the day over any of them.

I got my nexus s 4g a month ago but I want this phone I'm going to start saving $$ now so in a couple months I'm getting it if it really does get on sprint I know that the new galaxy s3 is going to be better spec wise but its a nexus & pure Google is great no bloat upgrades come are way first the nexus s4g is getting ice cream sandwich in a few months but I still want this dual core super amoled 720 p HD 316ppi monster!!!

Switching to BigRed from T-mobile, cant decide on phone

Hi guys!
Well just as the title says, im going ot be switching from T-mobile to Verizon, but i am torn between two phones. Either the Rezound or the Galaxy Nexus. I know there has been other threads on this im sure, but i had to post and ask just to get other feedback. All the other threads i have seen just go back and forth "get the rezound because of XYZ, get the GNex because of XYZ" So im a bit torn lol
Any feedback is much appreciated!

Buy a used phone on Amazon
Even though the new smartphones phones are cool, most have limited memory and poor audio quality. Another option is to just buy a Samsung Vibrant on Amazon. You can get one used for about $150 and you won't have any contract committments. Its a great phone and you can upgrade the ROM to ICS on the Vibrant forum.

i had a Vibrant, i liked it, but i would rather put the $150 to a newer faster phone. The samsung is for T-mobile, i am moving to Verizon through work and they are paying for the phone so no point in me dishing out money. Besides, t-mobile has been terrible the last 4 months. tons of dropped calls, phone wont ring when its right next to me....my current phone is a mytouch 4G, and its been replaced 4 times......then they offered me a crap Sidekick which even gets terrible reviews on their website. Then to top it off, I have overages because i used so many darn minutes to call people back everytime my call dropped, they wont even credit me for that. So basically they are giving me the FU, so im going to do the same Any who, i hope the GNex is a great phone, if not i may go with the rezound....i was hoping to wait till the Quad-core phones came out but unfortunately work needs me to get a phone so i need to settle with a dual core
