So, what would you trade your Nexus one for? im thinking the LG Optimus 2X would be a great replacement.
is there anything currently or on the horizon that you want?
Nothing really grabs me for the moment.
T-mobile upgrade doesn't come in effect for another 10 months and full price for a phone doesn't appeal to me when the upgrade is not much better.
I expect some neat stuff to be out in 10 months tho.
I tried playing games on the N1 but the small screen size just doesn't do it for me so I'm not sure what I would get out of a dual-core for now.
I'll be keeping mine for the foreseeable future, probably a year . There is currently nothing that is a big enough leap in technology to pry my Nexy out of my hands.
Asides from the LG Optimus 2X, a couple of the other new phones announced at CES sound awesome most notably the Samsung Infuse, Motorola Atrix, Motorola Bionic, and HTC Thunderbolt. Sadly, these are all on carriers other than TMO, so I am sticking with my Nexy.
Probably the next Nexus phone, that should be a significant step up.
TMO has their presentation at CES this afternoon.
I'd trade mine for a 6ft leggy blonde....but only if she's ok with being 'flashed' and 'rooted'
Anything short of that and you'd have to pry my n1 out of my cold, lifeless hands!
Klondike Bar.
There hasn't been anything released or even announced that would make me want to sign a new two year contract yet. But if somebody comes up with a 4G, dual core phone with a big screen, hdmi mirroring, front/rear cams and decent android community support (at least cyanogenmod). I'd be interested.
I did trade mine for a G2. Here why:
-My power button was broke
-The touch screen is lame
-I got $450.00 for it despite those two flaws and it's age
-I got a brand new G2 off craigslist for $359
If not for that combination of events I might have kept it. Because even though the G2's hardware is superior to the N1's, it doesn't give a mindblowingly superior Android experience.
I think I would trade it for Nokia N8 Or I would trade it for a dell streak if it was running stock or a dell venue pro
Nokia N8: specs are just insane on this device and it looks good. (I was a Nokia Fanboy so to me Nokia n8 is a nice piece of hardware) Bad: underpower cpu and I wouldn't say bad but rather old OS.
Dell Streak: I just wanna be different phone LOL Bad: Might be stuck on 2.2 forever
Dell Venue pro: Great Looking device Bad: No flash + No Multitasking = disaster
I would trade my N1 for the new Motorola Atrix that was just announced for at&t. Hopefully it will be released soon!

Its True! Google need other phone!
im wanna HTC Linux
I probably will end up sticking with my $40/month Nexus One and saving $300 - $360 per year over what normal people pay for smartphones
ATM I'm in that sort of "wow that phone is amazing I must have it!" phase with the motorola atrix, lg optimus 2x, and droid bionic but I'm sure that will pass with time
HDMI mirroring (LG 2x / Droid Bionic) is amazing to me and makes it so I never need another nintendo, super nintendo, sega, or playstation ever again. They would all just be on my phone ready to play (with a wiimote) at the drop of a hat
The atrix doesn't seem to have the actual mirroring like the two above but seems to have the amazing option of turning into a sort of macbook air whenever you want or being able to be used on a monitor. This is in addition to its mind-blowing stats and 1930mAh battery
This is the holy grail I am always looking for, the one device that takes care of every single electronic need in your life:
- Phone
- Camera
- Voice recorder
- Internet connection
- Keyboard support to turn into a computer
- Emulator gaming with wiimote support
- All day battery life
- Good price
I'll have to wait and see how these new phones play out. They could be amazing and take care of all of these functions and force me to buy them or they could be overpriced and not worth it. We shall see...
I always wonder with these threads what any of the guys who still follow Moores law (even the modified version 12months vs 18 months for PC replacement), think about all these quick replacements?
i think for me it will be the Motorola Atrix for me. i will keep my n1 for beta testing and stuff but for my daily phone i do believe the atrix will be it.
The TMO CES presentation listed nothing but the Streak 7 tablet. No phone announcement = epic fail.

This is my hope as well. I know it's been repeated many times but I hope HTC makes it once again and really tries to put Samsung to shame(not that it would be that hard).
I will replace my N1 for the htc version of the 2x. Come on htc dual core flagship!

As long as the industry gets pushed upward by CES I could care less about which carrier got the goods.
T-mobile announced 4g honeycomb tablets today in addition to saying they were coming out with 25 total 4g devices in the next year. Trust me they will be coming out with amazing phones as well
Happy though that Att got the best android phones though even if I don't have them as my carrier. They needed an amazing android phone in the worst way and now have one: the Atrix
The wife's iphone 3g finally is taking a dive. Like to put her into an entry level android based phone that will work on At&t. What phones will work on the at&t network?

Are you sure you want an entry level Android phone for her? AT&T doesn't have a particularly good selection of low-end Android devices, and of those available they would hardly compare for a person coming from an iPhone. The HTC Aria is just ridiculously underpowered, and all Motorola devices that I've used with Motoblur have been terrible.
I suggest the Samsung Captivate or the HTC Inspire. They're easy to use and you can pretty much guarantee she won't have anything to complain about in terms of speed and responsiveness.

I would recommend you stay away from the Captivate, it has a few hardware issues that Samsung is not addressing. I am on my sixth Captivate, and all have had issues, and have recently switched to a Nexus One that was given to me. I looked at the HTC Inspire yesterday, it is a pretty nice device. The Motorola Atrix also looks very promising.
If you're not aware, the Vibrant's radio, although a TMo phone, do work on AT&T 3G bands.
Just be careful if she's interested in any of Google's location-based services. I had (have, sitting on my desk now) a Vibrant for awhile and could never resolve the notorious GPS issue. I came back to the Nexus One because of it.

Froyo (and currently Gingerbread) does not even support dual cores, lol
Engadget says the docking experience is very poor
once Gingerbread supports dual core (maybe April?), Motorola has to push the update out.. my guess is this won't be timely.
For these reasons, there are going to be a LOT of pissed off people who cough up the money for this phone because its "dual core"
I made a post earlier about the atrix . Wasn't aware dual core isn't supported yet on froyo . I'm trying desperately to avoid another iphone (cough) but cannot buy anything through att with the fear of having my account screwed with and losing the unlimited data plans. Have to buy out of pocket and $500 is a bit high for a casual android user. Maybe a used N1 is the way to go.

I switched my wife's line from iPhone 3GS (unlimited data) to iPhone 4 to Windows Phone 7 and now to Android (N1) and still have the unlimited data (yes, I spoil her and she knows it ). If you previously had unlimited data you'll be grandfathered in and keep your unlimited data plan, unless you ask for a different tier for whatever reason. That's how it was explained to me, and I've switched her line a few times, and I just went from my N1 to an Inspire and still have the unlimited data plan from when I had my iPhone 3G a couple years ago.
With that being said, as I mentioned I just got the Inspire. I'm giving it a week to check it out and see if I like it. I love my N1, and it'll be hard to part with it as my main phone, but it'll stay nearby "just in case"! The Inspire seems pretty nice so far, but everyone's entitled to their own opinion.
I just set up the HTC Inspire 4G for a friend and it is a pretty good experience. Has a little ATT garbage on it that cannot be deleted (you can hide the icons) and also HTC Sense. Actually Sense is not too bad. It is a great price at $99 and just came out last Sunday.
PHIL
I know it is older and not supported by ATT or SE anymore but the Sony Ericsson X10 has been nothing but good to me. The guys over at X10 section here in XDA have some good things going on as far as development goes. 1ghz snapdragon, 8 mp camera, 720p video with flash, 4 inch screen.
I ran it for a while until I gave it to my wife when I got my N1. They are finishing up the 2.3 build and it is all being done with out even cracking the bootloader.
I've got a mint condition att n1 for sale in the marketplace. I highly recommend it!

check out this thread...they are saying that dual core support is there, just not for single threaded apps. So really we are waiting on developers to support multiple cores in their apps, but the os already does.
I'd say htc inspire is a good one to pick. Price of a midrange but runs like a high end. Plus htc sense is pretty useful for women in my opinion. And if you wanna change to a different rom later on, it won't be hard cuz htc is fine with customizations.

Get an HTC Inspire. It rocks I got it on launch day and previously had a Nexus One
For the price you simply can't beat the Inspire 4G, got mine at Costco for 79.99...
I replaced my N1 with this phone and I love it..
HTC Inspire 4G the best choice
I would hang tough a few weeks and see what happens with the atrix. Depending on whether they get root and so on that would probably be the handset to have as it will probably have the longest legs of the bunch depending on how quickly multi core support arrives.

agree.. which raises the next point that the apps to take advantage will be games, as the computational requirements for a general purpose cell phone app tends to be minimal, the bottlenecks mostly lying in the cellular connection speeds. for instance, LevelUp can add dual core support all they want, but checking Twitter with Plume just isn't all that needy, hardware wise.
from a specs standpoint, the Atrix is interesting but is basically an expensive, closed gimmick.
dual-core is an important step to push the platform & apps but we are a LONG way from a practical benefit to end users (unless you play games)
I think the main hardware aspect of the atrix that would make me lean to it is the front facing camera. If that phone can be rooted it may be my next device.
Lots of people got their dreams come true on the nexus S with 4g anyone gonna get it? I sure am

It seems this one could be either the SPH-D600 or SPH-D720, both of which have recently received certification from the Wi-Fi Alliance, though the SPH-D720 is more likely; the D600 shows WPS support, which is available in TouchWiz-skinned devices but not in stock Gingerbread.

Not really, had to read it again, but they are assuming the Nexus S model number is most likely SPH-D720, since the D600 has WPS support which is only available for Touchwiz devices (WPS is not available for stock Gingerbread devices). That's what I got from reading that sentence.
So it has to be stock Gingerbread. Nexus named phones has been branded to be stock devices. So if they did put customized Android versions on a Nexus named device, then they will probably get a bad backlash from the community for it.

1) Nexus line doesn't get carrier bloatware. And sprint football is actually a great app.
2) I used a sprint wimax phone for 6 months. I don't care that its on sprint I care that Google is allowing our device to be superseded months after its release. We all know our phone should have had 4g to start with and u bought it as the premiere Google device under the impression that I wouldn't be ****ed by Samsung releasing a new version a few months later. Its ****ing pathetic.

Hopefully they take the time to add a second noise canceling microphone. Because the voice quality of the original nexus s was atrocious compared to the nexus one.
Pretty disappointing.. However, I remember reading a few weeks back when people were mad about the fact the original Samsung Vibrant was 3g and then they were releasing the 4g.. Samsung said that the original Vibrant was fully capable of 4g speeds.. So i'm wondering if its the difference of a radio ? I really dont know much about the technical aspects, im just repeating what I read.. I think it was on BGR.com..
Its funny though, I haven't purchased a samsung phone in years, then this came out and I jumped on it.. If this is the game google is going to play, iPhone 5 is going to be looking VERRRRRY attractive to alot of people, with polished build quality and little to no bugs.. Easy decision if you ask me.

You're exactly right. I played this game with Samsung on my Epic 4G and I bought a Nexus S because I wanted to feel like my phone was top of the line for more than a week and that was true of the Nexus One for a long time. It was stupid to release the Nexus S without HSPA+ support given that it the technology was more than available. I've been an Android guy from the beginning. I never wanted an iPhone but you know what? I'm starting to like the way regular updates and support for later iterations. You know what Apple does for people who purchase a current iteration of a phone close to when they announce a new one? They give them money back. What did Samsung do for Vibrant owners when they released the Galaxy S 4G (C'mon its a Vibrant 4G)? Nothing. They left them to twist in the wind and if Google is allowing that to happen to Nexus users here, I'm pretty done with the platform. I'm not paying money to a company that stopped caring about their current devices 10 minutes before they came off the line.
Its pathetic.

I can't figure out wth you're trying to say in that first line but I assume its something to the effect of you can't stop progress and I'm not asking that. I'm asking that they not release a phone with certain features and with certain features lacking then release the same phone with the features it lacked a few months later. There is no "progress" progress here. Sprint's first WiMax phone was released in July of last year; 9 months ago. Tmobile's first "4G" phone? November 2010; 5 months ago. Verizon was behind the curve but they are using completely different technology. When the Nexus S was announced there was already one semi-4G phone (T-Mobile G2) and one full 4G phone (T-Mobile MyTouch 4G). Where is the "progress" in releasing the same phone with a feature that already existed. If they released a Nexus 3 with dual core, sure I'd be angry that they announced it a mere 2.5 months after the previous iteration was announced but it would be a different phone. This is the exact same phone with feature that should have been released with the original added in for ****s and giggles. Its not "butthurt", its moral indignation. The same moral indignation I'm sure Vibrant owners felt because that was just as bull**** a move.
And how is this a faster phone? Its literally the exact same phone? Am I "butthurt" it didn't come with a dual core? No. I think its a little silly but I still love my phone, or loved I should say. Am I "butthurt" that the Galaxy S 2 does have a dual core? Or that the G2X is dual core? **** no. I chose this phone because I thought it would be supported for at least 6 or 7 months and this is a pretty ****ing clear indication that Google doesn't give a flying **** about the current user base.
Oh, and WiMax sucks. Its by far the worst implementation of "4G" and the company pushing it out (Clearwire)is in pretty significant financial trouble as is the company paying for the services (Sprint). Verizon and T-Mobile have much better existing coverage for their "4G" and have higher speed potential with existing hardware. There is no progress here, its just shafting a bunch of users for a feature that should have been included to begin with.

Get over it man. It's not a big deal, even in principe. I've bought 3 phones in a year (n1, g2, ns) so I am definitely not one to sit idly while my phone ages and be complacent with it. I just like gadgets. But this is just the way this industry works. I personally don't care if my ns supports hspa or hspa+. You'll never notice the difference in day to day unless you download gigabytes of data a day. Tmo supposedly caps you after 5 anyway. (i usually only use about 300M/mo because I jump on wifi every chance I can.
Also, google isn't dropping 'support' for this phone just because sprint us getting a 4g version. On the contrary the 'platform' is widening. Did the at&t version that passed fcc have hspa+?

I've owned four phones in the last 6 months (MT3G, Epic 4G, Evo 4G, NS all of them bought in the last year the last three in the last 6 months). You'll never see the difference between 3-5MBps and 20+MBps in daily use? Really? Typically, it takes my laptop (on comcast cable) less than a second to load the Engadget website whereas my phone takes 5, sometimes 10 seconds to load the same page on 3G. On WiMax (with a theoretical topspeed of 20MBps but it runs more frequently around 10MBps) it loads around the same time. On T-Mobile's HSPDA? It would be faster than on my computer. Sure, I'm on WiFi a good portion of the time but when I'm not it is often painfully slow trying to do anything.
For example, the other day my wife was getting fed up with Swype while she we were both at work. She wanted to use the keyboard I use (a modified gingerbread keyboard) so I tried to email it to her but the 5.25MB file just sat in my phones outbox for 20 minutes. So I decided to upload it to my dropbox which took an astonishing 7 minutes. I know the area I was in had 4G coverage and I know if I could have been on 4G it would have been almost instant. Its not progress its just bull****. Sell them a phone without a feature they want then release it again with the new feature and get them to buy it again. Its ethically wrong.

Glad to see people are realizing what terrible customer service Google has. They just don't care. They're concerned with getting Android on as many devices as they can so they can rake in the ad revenue. They're just happy releasing stuff in perpetual Beta

You mean they are a corporation trying to make money and not spending millions to give the world a big gift? If you ask me, no android is not prefect, what is? Nothing. It's better than the alternatives for my needs and tastes. If google has an agenda to try to turn a profit with it, they are no different than any of they other companies.

Just speculating for fun, what do you think the 3rd Nexus will be like? HTC, Samsung...LG? Dual-Core/4.3"/3D? What specs can you envision. The first from HTC was innovative, the current from Samsung brings NFC, what will the 3rd one have? Discuss..

Got a strong feeling it will be a clone of a future phone that we have not seen yet, but it will probably the best of class out of the Tegra 2 Dual Core phones.
JD
Dual-Core for sure.
quad-core is already in existence... theyre coming
LG or Moto or even Sony Ericsson next, I imagine.

True true. It could be the flagship device for Quad-Core and just skip dual cores.
I like Samsung and LG looks promising, I don't think it will be HTC or MOTO since they are both trying to lock everything down right now.
I envision: quad core, 3D, 4.0" screen (I hope), 4G. Hopefully everything else that we have now plus better battery.
A dual core,possibly HTC again,tho there's really no telling, certainly won't run on T-Mobiles network ..(at&t u suck) k sorry back on topic...
I think sprint will get it before anyone else.....I'm thinking Sprint is gonna be Google's new go to guy,especially if and when at&t has its way with T-Mobile .....

it could be like the G2x with multi-bands... Sprint disabled tethering on Nexus S, so I doubt it.
AGAIN. stop over exaggerating the T-Mo/AT&T, it can be disapproved and AT&T will have to pay T-Mobile for the 'breakup fee' which will be HUGE for t-mobile.

Right. And I still think T-mobile will get it first. Google is VERY big on sim unlock phones, because most of the world use GSM technology and not CDMA! Its easier to start with a sim unlock phone first because it can reach more ground that way!
It will either be samsung or LG definitely not motorola since they have been locking bootloaders and nexus phones should be the most hacker friendly android device. It will be dual core or a 3d capable device. G2x, evo 3d, htc pyramid, lg thrill, or galaxy s2 but htc too is getting stricter and google might not want that.

XOOM has a unlocked bootloader. It doesnt even matter what manufacturer its from because Google will ask for it to be bootloader unlock/locked (fastboot oem unlock/lock), I'm sure if Google approached them they would have the honor to do it and just not make it bootloader locked etc. So it doesn't matter what the company's policy is.
If its a Google Experience phone it'd be open. And I wouldn't be so quick to say HTC is locking down phones, or trying to, when we've seen two recent cases.
On topic I hope its a solid dual core (quad! O_O) 4 - 4.5 display SLCD and the obvious goodies inside. And hopefully Sprint as I take this Nexus S and GVoice integration to mean Google and Sprint pairing up.

I thought that too at first, then I was thinking that the G2x is already pretty much vanilla-ish android already, I think a google product would not be diverse enough when compared, and I can't also see a phone rebranded by three different firms. It would be nice though
I think that simms is right, by the time Google decide on a new phone we will be in quad core territory.

Google seems to be showcasing with the Nexus line. "Here's how it should be done."
With the Nexus One Google showed the world how a (non-Apple) smartphone should be. At that time, other smartphones were about as exciting as a 70's Volvo.
The Nexus S showed the US that there is a world beyond carrier lock-in. Unlocked, crapware-free, no contract necessary.
The next Nexus could well be a tablet. "See? Here's how to make a proper tablet!"

Technically that was the XOOM. That was all Moto/Google.
I wonder how the ATT & Tmo merger is going to affect the Nexus line. I'd be interested to hear Google's thoughts on the merger.

Yeah I would also be interested in how google feels about it. They probably could care less they are gonna do the same either way

I forgot about the Xoom. I was just thinking about their phones.
I would LOVE to see a MOTO Nexus phone. I really love the quality of their hardware. When it comes to durability, signal strength, call quality, and battery life I think they are better than anyone else. I am really liking Samsung too though. Hopefully one of those 2 make the next Nexus.
Just a general question, which one would you get? I personally was excited for the hercules, but when I found out the nexus prime is also coming out in october and saw the specs on it, I may lean towards the nexus prime. Only thing it will be missing is touchwiz.
Nexua Prime if you.dont want to wait forever for software update
Nexus prime. Don't think about getting a carrier based phone.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Prime, duh. Most likely same hardware with no branding.
When I say most likely same hardware, because the Nexus devices have had a device that is similar but has a skin or something of that nature on it. Desire for the Nexus (even though it was released later) and the Galaxy S for the Nexus S.
Speculation and wishing is irrelevant.

I was in the same boat. For the last little while Ive been patiently waiting & salivating at the Hercules. But after hearing about the Prime and reading all the great reviews on the previous Nexus S, my opinion is now swaying towards the Prime.
prime to go along with my nexus s and nexus1
I'd prefer not to ever buy a Samsung product ever again as I feel so burned by my Vibrant (from the GPS standpoint alone).
If I had to pick....no doubt....Prime. Regular and fast firmware updates. I don't view the lack of Touchwiz as a drawback.
I stepped up to the Photon.
GSM and CDMA, yep it takes SIM cards.
Dual core lovin baby and a GPS that kicks bootay
Or..
you can wait for a Galaxy S2
Hercules for me =)

Only concern I have about Nexus Prime.... I am on T-Mobile with the Even More Plus plan where you pay your phone on installment... on the new plans this will be called a Value Plan, but basically the same thing... no subsidized phones, you pay installments...
No problem... except that Nexus S for TMO has been through Best Buy ONLY, and you can't do Equipment Installment Plan (EIP) through Best Buy... only subsidized, which you can't do on a Plus/Value plan with TMO. which has meant that if I wanted to get a Nexus S (as I was considering as a friend wants my Vibrant) I would have to pay full price UP FRONT... ... and this will be the same whenever the Nexus Prime comes out most likely.
so in short... TMO has me screwed whichever way I go... Unless they offer the Nexus Prime in company stores on on the website where I can get EIP, which they haven't done in the past....

While I hope it does come to TMO and hopefully come there first do you have any reason to think that's where it will debut?

Yea, the only thing lesser about the prime would be the 5mp camera(that still does 1080p video according to rumors) that is supposed to have better sensors for low light conditions. Since I have a vibrant, better sensors is all I could want, and if it DOES do 1080p then it should be hackable to do 8mp pics(I have hacked so many cameras, camera phones are easy).
I didn't like the fragmentation that the SGS1 had, the same kind I think the SGS2 will have here.. I fear the communities will be smaller because of that, therefore less support, unlike for nexus S. If the prime goes tmobile, I would jump it like no tomorrow, unless some new information surfaces that really makes it bad, that's where I put my money.
i doubt it will come to tmobil! i bet it will be a verizon exclusive according to rumors. Imj getting a hercules! i hope they dont push it back to the oct 26...
