No going back from Nexus One

Ever since I got the Nexus One, I am unable to pick up much less use MyTouch 3G device. I enjoyed the MT 3G very much rooted with Cyanogen's Mod., but now I have to move on. The Nexus One is light years ahead that the MT 3G. Sadly it is now placed in my gear bag to collect dust with other devices. Anyone else having this experience?

nope, I ebay'd my MT3G for $295

Haha definitely, I have a G1 and mytouch on different lines and everytime I pick them up its just depressing now, gonna go down to 2 lines and give the mytouch to my roommate unless i cant talk her into a nexus one also

Holy crap! You got that much for a MT3G?!

It makes my old G1 feel like a gameboy color or something, no joke that phone was such a great device. I'm still getting used to the software keyboard but this thing is hard to put down.

yes, granted it was in mint condition, as most of my stuff is (i did sell it as used though).

I sold my myTouch 3G the Nexus One is so much better. I don't regret spending $529 now :]

sold my g1 for 200 and got the nexus im not sad at alllll lol

dang you guys are lucky I couldnt get more than $195 for my MyTouch

I picked up my G1 a few minutes ago to test something out...... and it felt so awkward and bulky and fat and slow. I doubt I can go back. I may not be 100% used to only using a vk all the time, but the phone just feels so nice compared to the G1. Just the way it felt in my hand was like damn. I love my Nexus One.

I loved the G1 even the form factor. But the screen size and low res made me feel like I went back to playstation2.
Cant believe you guys got that much for your g1 and mt3g.

Not saying I didn't love my G1, but after using this beast for a few days it just felt so puny in my hands again.

I attempted to try T-Mo in my area to get this phone. No go for me. I can only wish and hope it goes to Sprint, as I wouldn't piss on a Verizon store if it was on fire.

Got mine today! BUT - don't let your wife near it!

i got mine today after days of frustration with tmobile! at long last i thought! what a beautiful little slab of magnificence......i had it for all of twenty minutes before my wife nabbed it! now its here phone and i'm stuck with my bloody touch pro2. gutted!
nothing new here...just thought i'd warn y'all!

back hand the woman and tell her to get back into the kitchen and make you some food!
j/k =)
smart wife!!!

I bought my wife a HTC Diamond 2 a day before I ordered my HD2.
She gets mad when I won’t let her touch my HD2 w/o my supervision....
Oh well, I have seen her drop her phone 6x on the kitchen floor in the past 1.5months she's had it. I'm not taking the risk!

Just buy her one too. I always ask my wife if she wants one, when I get a new phone.

Problem solved
send your gf/wife to a finger nail artist at your expense, it's almost impossible to use a touchscreen phone with those long finger nails

Luckily my gf would find this phone too big for her tiny little hands. Small hands make anything she holds look far bigger!

They're buy one get one free, go back and get one for yourself!

Buahahahaha, i craped my pants

I thought I should share. in Dec 2008 I bought an iPhone for my wife and Xperia X1 for myself. She still has that iphone but I moved from X1 to X2 and then HTC european version and then Austrlian version which works on ATT US.
Now she tells me that iphone is the best since she has not changed it then where I got 4 phones.
Now we have fun bashing each others phone.
Well, I was thinking about X10

My wife doesn't touch the HD2. She thinks its too complicated to use compared to her mytouch.
She wants my iPhone though, but I'm keepng it.

v.wise

*clears throat*
Excuse me my dear sweet husband . . . .
Lets please be reminded who is paying for this phone. AS for you carrying the phone I think it is only fair I carry the HD2 because you said I'd love the Motorola cliq and that was a lie. It was clearly nothing like the G1 and I trusted your geeky opinion. I think they should revok your membership here clearly on the basis that you have no clue.
AS for the wet farts who told you to ***** slap the mofo exsqueeze me. you should be shaking the hand of a woman like me who can appreciate the value of a extraordinary phone. i may not be the triple tapped gadget calendar girl but trust me you will rarely come across someone who posses a vagina who will put down that kind of money for a mini computer.
And as a woman with small hands it does look rather large in my hands but as any man can appreciate the tight grip i hold on it without it actually being dropped and smile with pride because a girl gets it is all I need. And as for my nails I had them done last week and they are sports cut to enhance my qwerty keyboard speed. Ninja like moves, cat like reflexes!!

wow...NOW who got ***** slapped!?!?
damn i should never have shown her this!

damn man better luck next time...lol Busted

My (like) NEW HTC EVO for your Samsung Epic 4G

This might be a hard one, but dammit if I'm gonna try. First off i live in Oregon, Portland area.
My EVO has been a trooper ever since launch day. But, JUST THE OTHER DAY I got the screen and outer gloss casing replaced under warranty. so it looks just DAMN new. pretty much new. So there isn't a scratch at all.
What I'm looking for is a Samsung Epic 4G. It needs to be in good condition, meaning no scratches and the latches need to be flawless, and the keys cant be worn off. My EVO is just as pristine.
I will include the original box and stuff that came with the EVO. Also, a rubber outer case, which I found to be the best for everyday use. My EVO IS ROOTED. So you can have all the fun with that...
Hate Samsung's TouchWiz interface? Give HTC Sense a try! Trust me, its better...
IF YOU FEEL YOU HAVE BEEN MISSING OUT ON ALL THE FROYO ACTION WITH YOUR EPIC, THEN THE EVO IS YOUR THANG!
The only reason I'm doing this is because my mom just got an Epic, and I ended up liking it a lot, and want to make sure i can help her out with it if i ever need too. There is nothing wrong with the EVO.
**If you would like me to install a custom rom on the EVO, I can do that too to sweeten the deal, if you want.** *currently has Cyanogen Mod* tell me what you want, you want stock? Will do. You want stock but rooted? My cup of tea. I'll make sure you going into a new EVO will be a good one.

****. Well, I live in Olympia, WA. Let me think about it a little bit. I'd of course like to meet up somewhere and make the trade. For reference there is one defect with my Epic and that is that the Micro USB port sliding cover thing has been stuck since day 2 of having the phone. Let me know now if that is a dealbreaker but I'd definitely need to think about it.
Also, right now my Epic is running a leaked Froyo build, Mammon's Bonsai4all Rom with ext4 and no journaling, as you can see from my sig its quite blazing (I know people get wierded out by quadrant sometimes but if you go read the thread on bonsai4all you'll see my results are quite typical).

Olympia isnt that bad! Can you post or PM me a picture of the "defect"? Im interested in trading with you and your Epic. I'm free all next week.

I have owned two EVOs in the past one had screen seperation issues, both had at least one dead pixel. Does yours have any of these issues?

none of these issues, as i have a new screen and outter gloss cassing bracket on the EVO.

I am about to trade my epic for a white evo in a 1 hr

I owned a evo since release date but than traded it for the epic but the lack of support from samsung and a couple of bugs,I decided am going back to the evo,hopefully I don't regret it!!!but froyo and possible gingerbread official,I know we have leaked froyo don't tell me that ,but like I said leaked no source code yet so no is not at it full potential....

PM has been sent. .

replied, thanks

so are you looking for a trade? Pm me!

Right on, hope it works out for you... i might switch this to local only... because I'm starting to realize the heartache this could be as my EVO is my daily phone.

Epic is good phone but there's more support for the evo,

The EVO has a big Dev community. I'll definitely admit that...

No in browser flash streaming?...

Really liking the nexus one.

I'm really liking the nexus one over my G2 for now. It could be the new factor. I love how all the roms work perfect on the device. With the G2 the sense rom lagged and the miui rom would reboot randomly. I really miss the keyboard of the G2. I really would love to see the G2 get official miui support. The development on the nexus one is outrageous.
PS. I didn't mean to put down any G2 developers. You all are awesome and you guys are the reason I'm still holding onto the phone.

I guess that is one of the reason I have not upgrade to new device. Every Rom available for nexus pretty much q good choice. You can't go wrong with any of them.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Nexus one is the one for me, fortunately, i owned it over a year...

if you think development for the nexus one is good now, you should have seen it a few months ago. the development on this phone is just through the roof.
it really is a great phone, all this time later, and why many of us cant find a replacement for our nexus one. it still matches most phones out now approximately, and its perfect size and build with color trackball. nothing else can match it for me but i'm thinking of going with desire s maybe...

The Desire S would be a good choice as it's the closest thing to a N1
I would only buy it though once a CM ROM was available.
The N1 is an awesome phone but has it's issues. Flawed to perfection in my mind!

I get my first N1 soon...stoked to add it to my stable.

Get CM7 on there sharpish and enjoy
I can see myself hanging onto my N1 for as long as possible. Perhaps when the Nexus comes back to the HTC camp again... For now we still have a top flight device that's on par with the best of the competition.
I'd miss the great dock capability, with the gold contacts on the phone, and simple things like the pouch, (been using it since day 1 and after a year it's still pristine), too much to want to change to something that's lacking those nice extras.

it's stupid, I know, but one of the reasons I don't wanna switch from N1 to anything else is the position of the "BACK" button (I like where the buttons are now... Back, Menu, Home, Search)
other factors:
- other phones aren't vanilla-friendly
- trackball
- nexus s feels like something from the dollar store
I really hope another nexus-type phone comes out from HTC, not Samsung (terrible build quality)

oh yeah AND THE POUCH !
I can't believe this, but I have buddies who got the Desire from Telus, the Captivate from Rogers and the Galaxy S from Bell .... not a single pouch! What're you supposed to do when you get the phone, have a pouch pre-purchased? pffff cmon...

Lol, my sentiments exactly.
The N1 package, with the official docks too, is the best i've ever seen! Docking contacts should be mandatory on all new phones and they should be supplied with pouches!

I'm actually trading my g2 for a nexus one soon. Do you guys think ill like it over my g2?

For Cyanogen Mod alone, nope.
I like Miui which i find to be a little buggy for the G2. So for me it's perfect. I really like the Nexus One, but my G2 isn't going anywhere.

Only problem with the Nexus One is the occasionally erratic touch screen.
And of course at some point the CPU and/or GPU power will become a problem... then we'll have to upgrade.

nexus one is one hell of a phone..
great combination of google(the best os co.)
and htc (the craziest and best phone manufacturer)

I think that until more and more applications are developed for dual core phones or take up more RAM and require more processing power, the phone will always be here.
I personally dony think that we need dual core phones at this point, and I'm only interested in the GS2 because of the screen size and specs.
Ill definitely be keeping this phone for a long time.

you make a great point that is never mentioned, the BACK button should ALWAYS be on the left most part of the bottom. its just natural. we read left to right, and something backwards is to the left, forwards is to the right. so moving your thumb LEFT to hit the back button is the most natural feeling, and the way it should be. moving your thumb RIGHT to go LEFT is just counter intuitive and opposite of how it should be. not sure how these manufacturers dont realize this fact and test it.

That messed me up a little when I first got my Nexus coming from the Captivate in which the back button is tthe 3rd slot.
There are just so many things that this phone does right; design, size, trackball, led light, button placement, os.... it is just a great phone.

I completely agree about the buttons, that is the first thing I look for on a new android device, and they never get it right! Also, I absolutely LOVE trackball notifications! I honestly don't know what I would do without them. Nexus One is an amazing device that I see myself holding on to for a long time.

New phone - stick with shift or not?

Looks like Sprint is going to have to give me a new phone since I'm on my third Shift since release, and this one has major antenna problems (lose data, can't make calls half the time, texts are intermittent, etc.). So I'm wondering if I should try one more shift or actually get an Evo. I'm not getting a Samsung device, they just feel like crap to me.
I don't know what to do darnit lol.

You could see if they'll give you an EVO 3D.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App

I say stick with the Shift . But I'm biased. Love my Shift, hands down best phone I've ever owned. I had an EVO before this. The EVO is a great phone. But a little too big for the pocket. Plus the Shift can be OC'd way higher. But either way your good. Plenty of Dev's on both phones. Plus you can run some awesome Mik roms on both. Just my two cents.

I'd stick with shift, but my question is did u ever root your phone or anything? Seems like u were having strange issues might just have needed a custom Rom or something? Just my input though
Sent from your Mom's Jitterbug

I looked at the 3D, but it just seems gimmicky to me.
The Evo is likely my best option, but I'll certainly miss the keyboard. I even thought about the Nexus S or Epic, but I just hate the feel of Samsung phones, so I don't think they're an option. I'm not entirely sure they'll let me get another Shift, but if they do you can bet I'm asking for a new one and not a refurb
I've rooted all three Shifts multiple times, the first two were hardware issues (loose keyboard--me being too picky, then a loose ear speaker). Rooting it didn't help the service issues a bit on this third one, which is what leads me to believe there's an antenna issue

if you think the 3d part of the evo3d is gimmicky, just ignore it and realize its a really a CDMA version of the HTC Sensation. One of the best phones on the market.
The shift is a great device, but the 3d blows it out of the water.

Isn't the screen always in a "3D mode" though? I've only seen a 3D once, and only from the side, and it looked pretty weird at that angle. I'll have to go to a store and check it out

ok i my shift has a major antenna problems also i got one phone sent out but do they still change the phones for you?? and whats the $ for say a reg evo . i got my phone over clocked to 1.5 and sprint keeps telling me slower data due to the cpu is 800 not 1ghz like the evo i wish i could tell sprint a thing or too

Well, if you've still got the problems keep calling and complaining. The Evo and the Shift should be an even swap I think. I haven't called them to find out yet.
Granted, I'm on an employee plan and go through employee care tech support, so the rules and prices are a little different.

edit: guess I didn't have a choice...they're sending me yet another Shift, and probably another freaking refurbished one at that.

Well on the upside, since your on your fourth Shift. My buddy works for Sprint. You can actually request/ demand it be a new one. Also, if your unsatisfied with this one new/other. You can request they give you a different device equal to the Shift.

If I could get them to exchange my Shift for a refurb, I'd never activate it and have it on ebay so fast...then get something else...something that can be rooted. For now, I'll just be patient.

They told me that after my third one I could get a "like device", which I took to mean any device of a similar price range, guess I was wrong, or they were yanking my chain.

A refurb shift is likely not upgraded to 2.3.3 or whatever the upgrade was to--yet. This one's a week old and didn't come upgraded, so root was quite easy, even though it didn't help

It's definately a plus if you can still root it.

I don't actually work for them, my fiance does lol. The biggest perks about the employee plans are the much lower prices, yearly upgrades, no actual contract, and quicker tech support.

well, I got the new phone in the mail, activated it this morning. Other than having a somewhat loose slider again (which is going to be extremely annoying) it looks like it might work.
updated to 2.3.3 though, so that kind of sucks at the moment.
