I am feeling the hype of the nexus one, as im sure the rest of you are. It is truely an amazing phone, and i have a feeling it will have a xda following as powerful as the g1 has had. Seeing as though our phones are nearly out of date and close to its limit with android i was looking into buying a nexus one. NEVER would i pay 500 or so dollars for an unlocked phone. I have tmobile, but i have not had my g1 long enough for an upgrade(since last nov). Who else agrees that tmobile should be generous enough to enable us to buy the nexus one under upgrade pricing with a new 2 year agreement. They will be making their money from me, its just not right that we are basically going to be left in the dust.
No, g1 owners dont deserve anything. When you bought a g1 you paid for that phone. You never paid for any future proofing of any sort. This is like saying Windows Users should get every new version of windows free just for using windows.
You paid for a T-Mobile G1 and that is what you received. If you want to upgrade to a new phone you must pay for that new phone. These two phones have nothing to do with each other except that they both run Android. T-Mobile G1 is sold by T-Mobile, and Nexus One is sold by Google, it just happens to support T-Mobile's network.
If you think 529$ is too much just dont buy it, or wait for it to drop in price.

If anything, T-Mobile would at least upgrade G1 users to the MyTouch 3G like Rogers is going to upgrade their Dreams to the Magic because they say that it will not be able to upgrade them to 2.1 because of hardware limitations.
Doubtful that T-Mobile would take that hit though.

The only problem with that is the only benefit would be larger space for flashing a rom and wouldn't get the ram upgrade that you'd get if you upgraded to a magic. Unless they mean the 32b magic. Than i guess it would be the same thing. But imo, i'd rather have the keyboard then the extra space that could be solved by apps2sd.
I somewhat regret getting the mt3g.
I understand upgrading from a g1 to mytouch 3g, as they are very similar, but upgrading from a g1 to a n1 is like upgrading from a ford to a ferrari, price-wise.
I like the nexus, dont get me wrong, really seems to be advertised as an outstanding phone. I dont mind paying 500 cash for a phone, I bought my G1 for $450 anyway, but I am weighing my options between the droid and the nexus right now...simply because my number one love for the G1 is the qwerty keyboard, and droid carries that feature on but nexus doesn't.

The droid has one of the worst keyboards I've ever seen on a phone, I don't recommend it
And T-mobile will upgrade you to a nexus. You just have to get out of contract and shell out $200 first

yeah so I've heard....guess im just afraid of not being able to adjust to an all touch screen phone...but i know i get 30 days to return if i dont like it so im try the nexus anyway, plus my favorite dev is cooking roms for it, so i gotta give it a go!
Let me clarify..... im am talking about the 2 yr agreement price, i believe it is $179 hell, i'd sign a 3 year agreement for it. I am not asking for ANYTHING free. i know i do not deserve it. just the option to upgrade.

FWIW the Nexus One "enterprise edition" has been rumored to sport a fully qwerty. At that time I imagine they also intend to support both proxies through the browser as well as WPA2 enterprise natively, but I can't say for sure as it's all just smoke right now.

yes we know, but fact simply remains that you signed a two-yr contract, a contract that stated how long you had to wait before upgrading...therefore, you must wait that time out....regardless of phone issues, thats with any cell company, T-mobile cant make business being generous, so your topic of this thread is just wishful thinking...but not a bad idea though, cus i agree it would be nice.

That's not true, you signed a contract to stay with them for 2 years. You can upgrade at any time, you just have to pay full price. They subsidize for new or out-of-contract customers to have them with that carrier

This is not T-Mobile! FOR THE LAST TIME! THIS PHONE IS SOLD SOLELY BY GOOGLE! Even if you buy it with a T-Mobile contract it will still be unlocked! Google is simply selling this phone with a T-Mobile contract in agreement with T-Mobile!

I know this, but T-Mobile is the one who subsidizes it. That is why I said it tht way
in any case, if you subsidize you are paying 80$/month for 2 years for a plan which without the nesxus one costs 60$ a month +180$ upfront!
24 x $20(Amount you are overpaying for the plan) = $480
$480 + $180 = $660
$660 - $530(price of a phone unsubsidized) = $130 OVER PAYED!

Subsidizing phones is just to make it more affordable for people who doesn't have the cash on hand. It's kind of like when you get a loan for a car. Most people won't have all the money for the car so they get a bank loan. When you get the loan you'll be charged interest until you've payed the car off. that extra $130 you are "overcharged" is just interest, in this situation.
Hi, I am new around here. Been lurking around for a little while.
I recently lost my iPhone 3Gs so I have been looking around to replace it with an Android phone bc I am kinda bored of iOS.
I dont have an upgrade til at the end of the year so I decided to call the customer relations and see if they can work out something for me. I remember reading in a "how much did you get your atrix for?" thread where the guy said he was leaving unless they gave him a killer deal and got his for $130 +$180 in credit and no renewal of contract which is hard for me to believe. I tried and the best they gave me was $199 with extension.
I am having a hard time deciding whether to move to verizon or t-mobile but they dont have any phones that i am interested in at the moment although it seems like there will be some interesting phones on the way soon.
but I need a smartphone again ASAP bc the 'dumbphone' is makin me feel dumb.
Would it be worth it to try to hustle them a bit more for a better deal or just move on to a different network? I thought they'd give me a better deal since i been with them for a decade now but i do think $199 for the atrix is still pretty reasonable. It is just that I can always use a better deal.
Sorry if this thread is pointless but any input will be appreciated. Thanks.
$199 for an Atrix off-contract is a killer price considering that you can still take your business elsewhere and get at least $400 on ebay for the Atrix if you decide to move.
that's a great deal! go for it, you'll love the atrix
awesome deal
worst case u can still sell it on craigslist for 450+ and u are not in a contract
Honestly... I'd hold off for another month or so and wait for the SGS2. The atrix is a good phone. I jumped on this bandwagon a little early and regret it; I'm waiting for the SGS2 international (I-9100) and jumping ship as soon as it's out.
Don't get me wrong though - if you're not a tinkerer then this is a great phone. And coming from an iphone I assume you don't care about the phone being locked up seeing as how that's Apples M.O. It could be a good phone for you but personally, I want to customize it more than I'm currently able to.

Isn't the SGS2 International like $950 off contract lol.
Yep that's a great deal!!!
It is great phone and hopefully in couple months or sooner the boot loader will get crack which im hopping for it because that will unlock tons more enjoyment from it and with the docks imagine what you can do with those. And even Motorola might even release something or unlock the boot loader when they see sales going down because everyone wants too unlock the full potential of this device!!
I got the atrix laptop dock also which is pretty nice but it just needs a bit more speed.

So I read this as, $199 for a 2 year contract (EXTENSION)..
That's the same as everyone else.. How is that a good deal?
you can get atrix for 119 in costco.

i was about to say the same thing
i was about to say the same thing. bought it few days ago for $120. The good thing is if I dont like the phone I can return it within 90 days without any charges and if something good comes by then (lets say Iphone 5,6 or whtever)..all I have to pay is the difference which is $80...
the price is with contract extension so basically the same price anyone can get. I just said that they would give me the contract/upgrade price now instead of waiting until the end of the year when I will be "eligible" for an upgrade. My bad for the misunderstanding. I'm not sure if I will be able to get the costco price since I can't get it for $199 even from the corporate store. As far as i know, AT&T will only allow me to get it at a discounted price through the customer relations department.
I guess I'll try if I can have the customer relations put a note on my account so that any at&t carrier can see my eligibility.
Hell, you should just buy it outright for the price; if you don't like it you can just sell it for 400+.
The phone is great though, I only took mine back because of the locked bootloader, the galaxy s 2 is coming out, and I just got bored with it.
Amazon's web store has it for $149. You'll lose your unlimited data plan if you have one, but I read that if you badger them enough they'll give it back to you.
That's what I'm going to try anyway!
do you mean if you get it from amazon?
Yes, they force you to change your data plan. Last night I found out you can also get that price at Radioshack, but I don't know if the data plan hassle remains.

I bought mines from radioshack and yes i was forced to convert to one of their new DATA plans, After the changes were done i called up at&t to have my unlimited databack. They submitted a case to their so called "BUFU dept" and they switched my unlimited back in 3 days.
Keep in mind i called before the changes and confirmed that they will put back my data plan
Got mine at Radio Shack for $149. No hassle at all with data plan or setup. Took less time than it typically does at an ATT store.
Any have experience exchanging phones within theyre 15 day period before. I have always had bad luck with best buy and cell phones, ei.. screwing up my plan. I did an upgrade reversal once and it was a nightmare. Any way i want to go in on the 10th and exchange for a 32GB s4 and i asked the guy if its as straight forward as swap one for the other and pay the difference and he said ya but im still skepticle it will actually be that easy.
Anyone have any experience doing such a thing..

Nothing is ever easy at Best Buy which is why I haven't spent a cent there in over 2-years..
I'm actually surprised they haven't went out of business yet..
Sorry I can't answer your question but my guess is that it will end up being just as you suspect... A mess!
I usually buy phones there Cuz the 50$ gift card thing but after my experience just trying to purchase my s4 and two hours later a f'ed up plan ( deleted family text ) the saving are not worth it. After exchanging for the 32GB I'm done with BB

Will they really take a phone back if you had it that long?
Obviously you're limited if you buy it under contract but if you buy it retail ($749) it's yours and that return plan should be effective. We're also silver too and noticed 60 day returns are allowed!
As a Silver Rewards member too, I returned my launch SIII at day 59 just to get a fresh one, since the launch one had a slight issue with the volume buttons being loose - they would actually rattle when the phone vibrated! Since I'm not a complainer like so many others for the tiniest bit of lag they see on a 1.9GHz quad core PHONE (remember when desktops weren't even that powerful?), I didn't make a big deal out of it, but just went in before my 60 days ended last year and swapped it out.... I'm going to do the same thing this year for a 32GB S4 IF they aren't launching with some kind of prevention to the bootloader unlock!
People either love BBY or hate it, but if you aren't smart enough to have saved $50 at launch on the S4 like I did with the Phone Freedom deal they did again this year (saved $50 at launch on my SIII too), then you must enjoy spending more for the exact same thing! I can't complain about the 60 day return policy either compared to everyone else's at only a quarter of the time to know if this is the device you want to keep for the next 2 years on contract.....
Best buy is a nightmare to deal with. I have had nothing but bad experiences with best buy. I hope they go out of business soon.
I used phone freedom which is why I purchased from bb. Most likely going to exchange for the 32 as I keep looking at the available internal storage and it bothers me even though my 16gb N7000 sufficed for a year ... decisions

Good luck. Back in the day I was with my buddy at bestbuy, he was upgrading to the black berry curve when it first came out. Of course the rep was trying to sell the extra warrenty. They told us that there's no deductable and it covers everything including water damage. They actually had a small fish tank on the desk with a razor sticking out of the tanks gravel...there was a sign in the tank that read "does your insurance cover this?" They even told us we could smash the phone right in front of them and theyd give him a new phone. He bought the ins and a few months later he had a problem. Brought the phone in for inspection. They told us there was nothing they could do due to water damage. He was like I dont think so. They repeatedly told us they had no such policy...I than took out my bad ass black jack 2 and said "are you sure about that". Of course I took a picture of the "non exsisting" fish tank. He got a new phone and that was the last business either one of us had with Best Buy.

Not everyone is so broke that they want to put up with Best Buy just to save a few bucks.
I'll spend my cash elsewhere, thank you!
Purchase from Sams Club or Costco and you also get the extended return / exchange times..
I have no interest in setting foot in a best buy store and would still buy elsewhere if they were offering the phone for .99 cents..
That's my .02

Okay, moneybucks, no one said I was "so broke" I had to put up with BBY, I have had good experiences with them and enjoyed going back again this year.... last year I paid cash for the SIII at full retail (well, minus the $50 for Phone Freedom), off contract, so let's not go around speaking for other people's financial situations when the real story is that they haven't had any issues with BBY in the past....
It should be easy, I remember I switched out my hox+ for an s3 and it all went smooth. The only thing about best buy is the lines are freaking so long! I think it's a good idea to go switch your 16 for a 32 if you're under the 15 day period. i am too but i just don't want to wait. just got an invisible shield put on today and everything on my phone is so organized i don't want to redo everything. i went and got my s4 the other day and i told them i didn't want to spend too much money on accessories and the employee got my phone and typed into my messaging app that he was gonna do a price match with walmart and save me $20 bucks and that he couldn't say it out loud around other customers. that made my day lol

Are you feeling like LG got one over on you? With the new T-Mobile jump program introduced today you can now jump 3 times a year, no cost. Badass.
Not in the least. I hated the Note 4, think the S6 looks like a larger iPhone6, could never deal with the underwhelming camera on the m9, and frankly would never own another iPhone. That didn't leave me with many options when I got to the point where my options were 1) I was going to use JUMP to get away from my Note 4 or 2) I was going to throw my Note 4 at the wall.
So far, I love the G4.
You're basically paying the same amount of money, but you no longer have phone insurance.
ummm...I have phone insurance with Jump...it's included, but I don't care to be able to upgrade early at no cost. I will pay my phone off early & have my bill back down to where it used to be.

If you're already active in the existing "JUMP" program, you don't lose that. It's only on new one. I guess I'm glad I have the older JUMP.

If you're already an existing JUMP user, you don't get to JUMP On Demand. You have to pay off your phone and then sign up with JUMP On Demand with your new phone. Which will no longer have insurance unless you want to pay an extra $8/mo.
If JUMP On Demand included insurance or at least let current JUMP members switch to it right away, it might be a bit more appealing. As is, meh. I'll pass.

Exactly. I feel the same way...having existing JUMP, I don't feel like paying off my new phone I got 2 weeks ago. Besides, I doubt I'll be upgrading from this device this calendar year. I'll stick it till 2016 and see what everyone brings to next year's party
I'm a new t-mobile customer as of this phone. What exactly am I missing out on with the new jump program? I think I'm still within my 2 week period and can make the change still. What's the benefit?

Nothing...smoke and mirrors. It's actually a reduced version of the old JUMP program. You lose the device protection, but can JUMP 3 times a year or something. Same price tho...10 bucks. Better off on old plan if you have it

My 2 week period is over Saturday, im considering returning it and rebuying with the new JUMP.
I always envied JUMP1 and hated everything about JUMP2. JUMP3 is every bit as good as JUMP1 with the option to waive the $10 fee if you feel you can do without insurance.
I challenge anyone on JUMP1 explain how it's better than JUMP3?

Now after reading further, I understand your point.
Truth be told, JUMP 2 (which I'm currently on) is really a bit of a ripoff. I am not clumsy with my device, so I don't need the protection, I don't use Lookout, as I find it just alerts me to every site I am going to as being "safe. And then comes the "Jump" I did to get the G4. I had a Note 4. Owed right about $600. I pd $280 to bring device to half price (after paying $10/month for the 6 months I had the phone). So, $340 out of pocket. I could have sold phone on swappa for $450-500, costing me $100-150 to pay off the phone out of pocket. #IntelligenceFail.
Looks like I'll be cancelling my JUMP 2 program LOL.
So, LG didn't get one over on me....T-Mobile did....DOH!
Was going to get the G4 the other day from T-mobile, but will wait to get it with On Demand. It's the same cost as EIP and there is no $10 fee like regular JUMP. Set myself up to use On Demand in a few months for the rumored LG Pro G4.

Each time you upgrade, you have to put money down again, and the money you put down previously, doesn't roll over to the next phone you get, so it doesn't seem worth it to upgrade that much, unless you have great credit, and don't have to put anything down each time, Im almost done paying off my G3, after that, I may get the G4, or wait until fall and get the G4 pro, or whatever it'll be called,.

I'm a new t-mobile customer as of this phone. What exactly am I missing out on with the new jump program? I think I'm still within my 2 week period and can make the change still. What's the benefit?

You don't have to take it back if you're still in your grace period.
Just call them up and have them add Jump On Demand or switch from Jump to Jump on Demand. I did this yesterday.

Call 611. I purchased my G4 online....
Just FYI, i was told by a salesperson that if you have the original JUMP, NEVER<EVER<EVER<EVER change it, no matter the wording of anything new that comes out,the original JUMP the best plan they will have now or in the future. Just what a T-Mobile sales rep told me. This was prior to this new plan, but if you are an original JUMP member i would think twice before changing, just research it well and make sure its the right choice.
I'm impressed he could see the future. I'd ask him for stock tips too....
No plan is prefect for everybody - research is always good but a blanket statement like that with no idea what the future holds is a little naive.
I was on the fence about leaving the Nexus line when I went to the G4 so I added Jump. This new leasing plan is simply a better piece of mind plan for the next 6 months as the new Moto X, rumored LG G4 Pro and the next Nexus are announced. I'm happy to lease phone(s) for the next 6 months and sort it all out then....that't the beauty of t-mo. I can always opt out and purchase outright.

It makes no sense... If you're "never never never never change it" then are you even jumping?

I hoping Koodo will at least get it online. As excited as I always get for new nexus devices, I am worried about Canadian pricing.

I have a feeling it will start at $750-$800 CAD for the base model. Looks like it won't be a budget phone anymore...

Budget phone or not, I will be getting XL for sure, I am hoping the hardware doesn't vary too much or I will need both somehow.

I have a 6P and will likely be going with the Pixel (non XL) upon release. I caved in and got the 6P last year even though I hate phablets, and although it's an amazing phone, I still find it too big to this day. 5-5.2" is my sweet spot. Will buy from play store directly like 6P and N5 before, easier this way especially for warranty imho, unless Videotron in Quebec (likely) or Fido/Virgin/Koodo (unlikely) have it at launch as they all have decent 6GB/60$ BYOP plans ; not Bell/Rogers/Telus.
I'll sell my 6P (pretty sure I can get 300$ for the 32GB still under warranty) so that should offset the, I assume, 750$ish price range for the smaller Pixel. The only major turn off for me is front facing speaker ; I will really, really miss those, especially if the bezels are as thick as the leaked renders/pictures (I'M SURE THERE IS ROOM GOOGLE, WHY? :'( )
And the phone better be f'ing amazing at that price (or really nice at a more decent 600$ish price).*
If the price starts at 650USD which in Canada means 845CAD$ + tax = 975CAD$ I'm out.
I will buy a Iphone 6S probably,

Just kidding!
I'll keep the 5X, it's a good phone.
Available now on google play store 1033cad ! way too much for me!
Pixel pre order has been placed ?. Did the phablet on the 6 and went back to the 5x size last year. Bigger isn't always better ?
I pre ordered thru a contract with Telus. $200 up front on a 2 year contract. Looking forward to shipment.

How much is your monthly plan?
Only $12 more than previous contract for Nexus 5 two years ago, which completed by chance in September.
Cell and data bills in Canada are crazy, though. I support openmedia.ca 's efforts.
Total though, $80? I would imagine half of that would go to pay the phone off.
115ish after Data and nationwide calling...expensive
Just ordered my Pixel. Added a new line to my account (Telus) and the phone was 0$ .. Already have 6gb shared data.. so a new plan is 84$ a month taxes included. So it cost me 17$ (sim cost) to order this phone. And comes with 100$ Google play credit!

Not only is it too much, it's just all around not worth it for the price compared to similar offerings.

Gah ya that's a bit much, i would almost expect the phone to be completely free at those prices.

My monthly bill for the last 2 years was only $12 less then this. I am glad it is not free if the change in bill would be lots higher and it would cost me lots more in long run.
$12 x 24 months + $200 = $488 Pixel at end of contract. Compared to $1033 as someone saw, it is a good deal for me.
Just preordered it from bell for 399 on a 2 year contract. Can't wait for it to come. I think this phone will definitely be worth it.

I pre-ordered 2 black 128GB's yesterday from Rogers for $329 each. The demand for the phone doesn't appear to be that high though judging from my position in the line-up -- I'm 47 in the line-up, and that's after placing my order one week after the device was announced...
With Rogers, if you pre-order, you get 2GB of data extra to add to your plan for 12 months, a free Chromecast and a $50 Play Store credit. And that's per device. Not bad.
