Cool, good news! I been waiting for a more higher end Android model. I heard this one will have the sex appeal of the iphone and HTC Touch Pro II plus the functionality of WM and SE including the Cupcake OS (forbidden word ) plus a 3.5mm headset jack (wtf is that?! HTC users might ask, lol!). Looks like a great phone and am looking forward to it after I get my Touch Pro II (yeah, I will get burnt for saying that in this tiny, little Android thread surrounded by a million WM users, heheheh!) I do worry though, the article and some others state that this might be a DT thing and NOT T-Mobile USA release. Do you have any confirmation from your friend that this WILL BE coming to T-Mo. US?
this is too good to be true
Yes, he confirmed to me that it was coming to TMobile, but he didn't give me an exact date. Like I said, he has the prototype model, so I will try to snap some pics if he chooses to show me tomorrow, as he really isn't supposed to. Haha I ever offered to buy it from him, of course he said he had to decline, not because he didn't want to but because he couldn't. OH and one more major thing, is that the G1 will be released in several new colors, including red, green, and silver during the second quarter. However, that is just coming from him, no confirmation yet.

According to the article, it will have wifi.
It looks nice, has some good updates from the g1, BUT it does not have a slide out keyboard, only soft keyboard. The reason I get HTC phones only now is for the slide out.
I'm excited
This phone is uber sexy. The moment they release this phone you can bet. Ill be trading this phone in. I'm just wondering how they will root it without a hard keyboard?? Will it be rooted like the iphone is jailbroken??
A nice looking phone, but I too need the QWERTY love.
Definitely glad to see more Android phones on the market, though.
-bZj
i think the g1 looks way better then that cheap looking phone, i think all stay with a keyboard
idk, no slideout keyboard? i might have to pass on this one. it looks good though.
Wow I never thought about it. No alt-s with no keyboard. There's gotta be a way though, I mean, there has to be a recovery mode, etc.
whatever happened to this phone? It looked like a nice phone. Anyone else think it has an uncanny resemblance to the iPhone 4 which came out a year after the announcement of this?
Haha yea I agree about it looking like an iphone 4- thats exactly what I thought when I first saw the picture..
And I have no idea what happened to it, perhaps it disappeared into the rumor mill abyss. Also did you read his comment about the g1 coming out in different colours??! pink and blue, etc.. Craziness.. As far as I know that never happened either..
Wow.... So old and how naive we were back then lol.
Just gotta say... sold my Vogue and got a G1... and I'm regretting it already. Not because of the device, no. Because the people over in the Android forums are rude, offensive and unhelpful. I miss the community over here in vogue-land.
Go back to the Vogue. You know you want to!
Haha, I kid, I kid... I'm thinking of getting the Magic when TMobile releases it. I'm tossed between that and a G1.
BTW, we're neighbors. I'm in Pasadena, TX.

I guess I should have been a bit nicer in my previous post anyway... just spending longer trying to root my g1 than I spent putting android on my vogue kinda got to me!
Pasadena, cool. I actually have family/spent a lot of years in NorthShore just across the channel from you. I know Pasadena *well*... I am only in Beaumont because that's where my work is, otherwise I would've gone back to the houston area. I do pda support for t-mobile in Port Arthur.
Btw, you realize the retail release date for Magic is TODAY right?

Haha... Man, my time got the best of me, I got very busy there for about a minute, and completely forgot to reply to this
Anyway, yeah, I got a G1 because I liked the fact that it has a physical keyboard. I still have my Vogue, though, and I'm actually using it right now because I kind of broke my G1 trying to root it, just like 2 hours ago. Gonna go up to T-Mobile when they open and say, "gee golly gosh, I turn my phone off every night so I'm not bothered by it, and well, this morning when I turned it on, it looked like THIS!" Hopefully that works, lol.
Edit: Nevermind, got it working.
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.

I find very few people who don't like the N1 can actually list real reasons for not liking it.

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

What if Google isn't advertising the Nexus One etc because T-Mobile N1 = the BETA? And we all know how much Google likes their betas!!

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 love the phone. But the speaker phone suks arse! How do you miss that part in the testing of the phone. Maybe if I bend it a little and give it a HERO Chin that might fix it. Now if I can only get that "bending device" they used in the "Making Of The N1"......hmmmmmmmmm

Since you have 1 YEAR to replace it, just get it and if the dust is really bad, send it back in 360 days

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 that's a good idea too...anyone know if T-mobile stores sell these or is it just Google?
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.
With a keyboard.

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.
This thread is a bit of a waste really but i just thought i would share my opinion !
well my sister came around yesterday and started flashing her new ipony4 about, so i grabbed it and had a play and at first glance I liked it over the old 3gs, the screen res for a smaller screen than my hd2 was impressive but then my sister start telling them all the problems she is having with it in the last 2 weeks oh how i laughed !!! ha ha
but getting back to me playign about with it it wasnt even 5mins later i was borrrrrred to death with it !!!!!!
I cannot work out for the life of me what the big fashionation is with the iphone! I think its like marmite, you either love it or hate it and I Hate it!!!!
Same with me.
Work colleague got it recently and must admit screen does look impressive, much better clarity than older models.....but that is basically it, there are no other new features that impressed me despite how much she tried to show it off
ha - also they are paying £50/month plus £15/month insurance 18m contract............and they also had to pay money towards handset...........I am not kidding! oh yeah, and she had to buy a case for it in order to use it for its most basic of functions, calling people.
They said to me, "Aren't you tempted by it?"
"Lol I pay half that for a phone I got 8 months ago which is still better in every way"
Its all down to how they have had it advertised, as with all Apple products.
There not mind blowing, just cleverly advetised.
I don't think I'd ever want to go back to a smaller sized screen. The new iPhone may have a better resolution or clearer screen or whatever, but it's still small.
I know what you all mean - once I've had my leo, I cant seem to like anything else. Besides, the HD2 has come a loonng way since it came out. With the amazing job that people here at XDA are doing, I'm now thinking this phone is 100 times better! I've just flashed my latest ROM after not having an HD2 for a few weeks and everything is so smooth like butter! If I compare my phone now with a stock HD2 it will look like I'm using different phones, it's amazing!

I have to agree, I'm so used to my hd2 that whenever I use my ipod touch, I get frustrated with the size. Especially the keyboard!

I rest my case.....

Hilarious, I nearly fell off my chair.
This just about wraps it up.
Like said earlier its all advertising hype. They did a fantastic job selling the "basic" 3GS model & then totally screwed up by trying to step it up a notch.
I think the way iphone's been sold is by having people convinced (without actually saying so) that apple are actually pioneers in the big/touch screens.
