I have never used the mytouch. I've held it in my hand and whatnot, at the store, and goofed off with it. And I've noticed that the response time is noticeably slower than my Nexus, and the nexus just feels amazing in my hand, and is a breeze to use. I can't tell you about the internet speeds, but I would take a Nexus over a mytouch any day.
is there anything coming out for tmobile?? I need to buy it with out a contract so $500... I would hate to spend that much today and tomorrow something else will come
how is the nexus compared with the n900??
Samsung Galaxy S is coming out next month...

If you are always waiting for the latest and greatest, you'll never get anything because as soon as something comes out, something better is coming out "soon".
Personally, I have an N1 and would not give this up for any phone on the market now, or anything coming out anytime soon.
so the $500 are deff worth it?

didnt see it.. let me check that Samsung Galaxy S out
I have both, the N1 in ALL areas is better than the MT3G, even internet speeds
You can grab a N1 or, like my Wife, wait for the Samsung Galaxy or whatever it will be called on T-Mobile
is the galaxy S supposed to be better than the nexus??

Better is a subjective term for you and you alone to decide.
I'd rather buy an N1 unlocked for $500 and save $ with the EV+ plans than buying a Galaxy at $199 paying $70-80/mo if that is what you are asking...

No keyboard, no fm radio, no stylus, no ir, no internal storage.
Everything else goes to the Nexus.

Well i have a family plan.. so i could get it from google's at $529, i looked in craiglist and chapest one is about $450 (tampa, FL) so i rather pay the extra and get warranty from google.
hey miguel, there is a seller on craiglist who is selling his nexus one for 400 dollars. you want his number? i can pm you since we live in the same city.
i dunno about you, but i think 400 is pretty cheap compare to what i see on threre. i would have get it if i didn't got one yesterday for 450 dollars and if it didn't took him a long time to reply my texts.
Samsung galaxy eats the n1 in power and gpu and has a beautiful super amoled screen with a flawless touch screen and it records 720 p without a hack....
But it has no flash, froyo wont be soon unless custom and well its Samsung and looks like a iphone...
If it had flash 10.1 and a camera flash. Id be on it... damn no flash for camera what?

This!
Or ebay. Probably be able to get a better price on craigslist if you wait it out and find a good seller. Might even be able to trade for it.
They are going for around 480 on ebay right now. I lucked out and bought one for 430. I have another one that has a few small scratches on the screen that I would sell you for 425, including shipping, through paypal. PM me for details.
I switched from a Nexus to a Evo 4g. Reason being is that T-Mobile's service isn't that great where I live. Like I'm at my sisters right now and I get 2 bars of Edge on my Nexus and Full bars of 3g on my Evo. Anyways, Nexus is one of the best phones on the market, I feel sad that I made the switch, but I couldn't take the spotty coverage anymore. I'd recommend you look up and see if
Samsung Galaxy is interesting to you, otherwise just get a Nexus.
yea, the good thing about t-mobile is that they don't have a lot of good phones lol. so you save a lot of bucks without having to catch up to technology. tbh, the nexus one is nice. and wow, some of you have more hat one nexus? you guys are ballin lol. but nexus one at 300 something dollars is a really good deal.
Like the title said i want to buy a New or recently puchased N1. However, it must have 3g 850 band. I am on AT&T.
Holla.
Ebay, Criagslist, Kijiji, etc.
Take your pick
I'll let mine go for $400 + your captivate
Sign up for Google Developer's Account, for $25, then you can buy the Nexus One directly from Google any version you want for $529.
The developer site only has the t-mobile version available I read.

Actually... even at that price, I'd hate to let mine go.
i wanted to buy a n1 ever since it was out. i recent bought an iphone 4 and turn around and sold that pos. with the money i can buy a n1 now. but now google is out and now in the streets looking for one to work on att. honestly why would you sell a n1. way i see it, its the purest android out there.
Just got me a n1. Pick one up from craigslist. This thing is nice. Better than what I expected. Had a captivate but so glad I returned it. Maybe captivate has better screen. So what this thing is modifiable. After I bought the captivated I troll around everyday. Just put it this way. Not much developed. Very happy so far. Let the modifying begin. What to do first. There is much. Lol.
Hi,
I have a samsung vibrant which i like very much, but i am on a family plan, and we are upgrading all phones for a special plan discount, so I too have to upgrade (I bought my vibrant out of contract).
Would getting a vibrant 4g or one of the other new androids and selling this one be a good choice, or should i just get a wp7 and keep both?
edit: or maybe a defy?
"Upgrade" to the most expensive phone they have, sell it, and keep using the vibrant.
Agreed

thanks
How do i trade my unrooted mytouch 4g with tmobile for a Nexus S? do i have to pay to do it ? how can i do it without paying and what are some good reasons to do it?
The only way they trade is if you've had multiple defective devices. Even then it's rare you'll get a decent phone, although you could go to retention and say your going to cancel if you don't get a decent phone.. But I mist ask why would you want to switch from the MT4G to the Nexus S? it's so much better
the buttons on the mytouch4g dont work sometimes, the trackpad doesnt click, i also got the bad screen
Last time I tried to exchange my MT4G they offered me a Vibrant S 3G because they were out of stock. I highly doubt they would give you a Nexus S in exchange. They usually downgrade in that situation. (I personally think you should be upgraded if they run out of stock)
the only thing the vibrant has over the MT4G is the screen.. im not gonna give up all of the nice hardware in the MT4G for a screen lol im gonna see if i can get the nexus s tomorrow though im gonna call tmobile
I doubt you could ever trade for a Nexus S from T-Mobile since they do not sell the phone directly. Afaik it is only available on the T-Mobile network through Best Buy.
So how would i get the nexus s?
You won't be able to do it through T-Mobile. T-Mobile doesn't sell the Nexus S. Even if they did, I can't even fathom a circumstance where they would "trade". Your only option will be to sell you MT4G on Craigslist and use that money to buy a Nexus S on Craigslist. The only way you'll get upgrade pricing on the Nexus S is if you are eligible to renew and you do it through Best Buy.
Could always use best buy trade in. You wont get the cash you want, but it'll help you buy your nexus s outright since you can't upgrade.

Yeah man just go through Craigslist. I might be heading that way and trading in my myTouch 4G.
IDK man... its going to be real hard. I cant really think of a way to do it other than what the previous posts have said.
eh i guess the mt4g is good but i want to get one with the good screen, when i send it to them do they send me a brand new one or a used one?

You will not be able to call up t-Mobile and exchange the phone.
1) T-Mobile doesn't sell the Nexus S phone. Best Buy has exclusive rights to it.
2) T-Mobile will not simply allow you to trade in phones for another phone.
3) You have to have a legitimate reason to file a warranty claim on your phone. At that point you will only get a MyTouch 4G replacement. If that should happen a few times they will offer you a "like deceive" which in this case will be the Samsung Galaxy S model. Not the Nexus S you are looking for. And each warranty replacement will cost you ~ 130.00. So you are looking @ 360.00 just in warranty fees.
Just sell your device on Craigslist or eBay then buy your Nexus S. That is the only way besides buying the device outright for full price.
You can call T-mobile Executive Customer Care and leave a message. A T-mobile exec customer care agent will return your call within two weeks to attempt to resolve the problem (give a free phone without contract extension). However this will only work if you've done multiple handset exchanges for the same phone model. I exchanged a Motorola Defy 4 times due to a variety of problems and Executive Customer Care called me and basically asked me how I would like them to resolve this issue and I told them I want a better phone. And they asked me which one and I told them a Mytouch 4g (the newest phone they had at the time) and they said no problem and sent it out the next day. Hope it helps.
Today I just got an unlocked G2 (a new rom needed to be flashed. It was stuck in a boot loop and they had no idea how easy it was to fix so traded my moto backflip and $25 for it)
I have AT&T. I'm running an miui rom and am really loving it. Plus I only like phones with a physical keyboard.
The only downside is I only have EDGE.
AT&T doesn't offer a high-end, dev friendly android phone with a physical keyboard.
My question is, is it worth having a 4G phone and only have EDGE?
I'm not sure if any phone is worth being stuck on edge.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Lol trust me I know. The only thing saving me is my wifi.
It's just the only phone out with a physical keyboard is the flipout, and that's not really booming in the dev community.
Do I have any other options?
Ya a couple years back I was using an unlocked iphone on tmobile, obviously was stuck with just edge. It was RIGHT at the precipice before edge became the mobile equivelant of dialup. I don't think there is any way in hell your gonna have a decent experience with just edge. Just take the huge profit you just made and flip it on craigslist for an Att phone.

That sucks. You need to get a Desire Z version A7275. It is compatible with AT&T 3G bands. It is also known as the Bell unlocked version.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z
I looked at the bell version and I don't have $400 for it, if I did I would go with that option.
I would just trade it for an att phone but I need a physical keyboard. (always had a keyboard on every phone to date starting with my sidekick 08)
I was looking toward the captivate but, I saw the a captivate with a custom rom vs a stock g2 in benchmarks, and the captivate wasn't ahead by much.
I'm stuck ):
search in the market place here on xda or make a thread looking to trade a g2 for an 850mhz desire z, maybe someones in the same situation as you

Very smart! Thanks!
Unless you can get a trade for 850mhz DZ I don't think you're going to want to stick with it. You're printing money at this point getting the G2 so cheap so might as well try to get a trade up for a phone you can use 3G on. EDGE Is so painful.
Sounds like you wanted the keyboard, but if you don't absolutely have to have it you can just sell the G2 and put that towards something else. The Nexus S is offered on AT&T on contract now as well if you need it cheap.

Yea I know. I just checked my upgrade status. I'm due in October so if I can tuff it out two more months, I should have more options for me. Thanks for the help guys!
Try to find a Canadian who is using BELL and wants to upgrade their phone service to Globalive. Globalive *requires* AWS band (won't work without), so any phone from bell will not work at all. Get them to do a straight up trade.
Personally though, I couldn't care less about mobile data, as long as it'll do email. I say you're better off with an HTC VISION on Edge than you are with an iTrash.
