This phone!

I got my Nexus One, and while I expected it to be good.. I did not expect this much! Literally the best phone I have ever had in my 14 year old life (After previously having G1s, MyTouch's, etc.) It feels so smooth, its so fluid.. I love everything about it! Google, I wuv you guys..
Now, as I've said before, a better phone better not come out by Xmas.. don't wanna sell this thing so soon ^.~

Wait, you're 14? How did you afford this phone?
Lucky bastard

My 14-year old had one for a day. She couldn't do without a physical keyboard so we're waiting until an android handset comes out with one. She loved everything else and, despite the lack of a keyboard, my Nexus One is the best phone I've ever had. I come from Windows Mobile.

It takes a while to get used to the on-screen keyboard. I know from experience, I came from a G1.
After a few months, I still can't type as fast as I did with the G1 keyboard, but it beats having to turn the phone sideways and flip out the keyboard just to type a few letters in some app. The convenience of the big screen and using the on-screen portrait keyboard without having to turn the phone sideways outweigh the gained typing speed on my G1.

your lucky dude..14 years old with a nexus...anyway I love this phone..coming from a touch pro 2..I don't miss that phone one bit..not even the keyboard..well maybe a little lol but still this phone is great and so is swype.

Speaking of typing on a virtual keyboard...have you seen the video of a guy typing 83 wpm on a virtual keyboard? Albeit, it's not a N1...impressive non-the-less.

wow when i was 14year i didn't even have a dumb phone lol, congratz on your nexus one hope you enjoy it

My nexus one surprises me every day. It is definitely the phone I've been waiting for.

I'm 16 and I afforded it because of money I earned selling 3D designs and birthday money (hehe) but ITS ALL MINE. So if I break it, I know what it feels like to lose $530.
Saw this 15 year old drop his iPhone in my class, screen shattered, and he told everyone, its alright, parents will buy me a new one. Can't always depend on them, you know what I mean?

good for your parents, you will thank them some day for installing some decent values into you
it really is pathetic how much kids are given these days... NO concept of money what so ever... mommy and daddy just buy everything for them... when I see 16-22 year olds driving around in their brand new BMW's and Audi's i literally want to vomit... I have no respect for them... I work for everything I own and it feels god damn great!

I'm 14 and pressured my mom into getting it on release day, she ended up getting it on release day too lmao

Hmm, glad I didn't buy the Evo Now I can get this or whatever's better once my contract runs up.

I took back my EVO for the Epic. The EVO sucked in my opinion. The build quality is kinda horrid, I went through 3 EVOs all which broke on me. I was very disappointed with HTC this time around.

The EVOs hardware is horrible on their first builds. The first one the USB port broke, second one the bottom lights didnt light up right and the third one the USB port broke again, it got to the point where it literally couldnt charge it anymore. I've had enough with that ****ty phone.

I know better than to get a samsung phone after seeing what they did with the moment

Ugh I'm in a tough spot. Went wakeboarding with my hero in my pocket this morning, and I'll let it sit in rice for a few days but I'm not holding out hope. I do have a line in our plan up for upgrade.
Do I:
Use it on another hero, which will root and probably run Froyo happily for another 10 months
Get an Evo which is nice but frickin' huge. Suck up the $10 sucker fee and deny the phones on the horizon
Get a cheap flip phone off Craigslist and hold out for an Epic.
Do I even want a hardware keyboard? Even if I didn't use it this phone looks awesome. Samsung support scares me though. Perusing the Moment developer scene doesn't give me much hope of getting AOSP builds going.

Not to mention the Epic is very likely going to have that $10 fee as well

Yeah, no doubt.
I guess I've decided to use my old Q9C (UGH!) for the month or so until the Epic is rumored to come out. I'll pick it up and try it out, and use the 30 day return to hop back to Evo if I don't like it.

not worth it to waste an upgrade on a hero. go grab a old palm or blackberry and use it if u want the epic. or just suck it up and get the hero

Or if you wanted to pick up phones at radioshack you could just return each phone before the 30 days were up until it got released,
I did a whole tour exploring different phones and platforms waiting for the evo when I headed back to sprint, each time you return a phone it resets your 30 day period

no you get to try a device for 30 days if you dont like you can try another device for 30 days. sweet huh.

all i know is touchwiz looks like crap and so does the taskbar theme. i may just try to pick up a cheap evo.

So Long, DInc-ers

I have had my Droid Incredible for about a year and a half now. It has served me very well, having about a dozen different ROMs on it during that time.
This past week, the Big Red emailed me telling me I could upgrade early for a 4G phone and save an extra $100 bucks.
So I have officially ordered my Droid Razr Maxx, and it should be here on Friday. As much as I have loved my DInc, the battery life on it is absolutely horrendous. I can't make it to 4:00 (barely using it) before it's down to 20%. Also, the magnetometer had stopped working completely, the GPS only worked sometimes, and the screen has started malfunctioning.
As much as I will miss this phone and all the people in this forum, I am excited to get my Maxx.

I may just see you around in the MAXX forums then
I just gave up my dINC to my little sis to use as an ipod type thing. I had to give it a good couple of weeks before we departed, but I knew it was the right decision.

well I realistically had no real use for it now with my new phone. My sister will find better uses for it, so it still has a long life ahead for itself. It'll bring a tear to my eye every once in a while to know my baby is no longer with me, but I'll manage.
btw my little sis is 16 and loves the phone.
maybe one day she will pass it down to her children.. and then their children after that

I already miss yas <3
I took my Samsung GS2 Epic 4G Touch out to a forest--it took a dive on a dirt road and went *skitchskitchskitch!* DOA
WHAAAAAAT!! Dang, what a bunch of bullocks. They are replacing it ..and boy do I hope it's just the phone I received.
Best

good luck
Dropped mone on garage floor yesterday.bounced off concrete case flew off ajd battery goes flying. Not the first time thats hsppened.one time down 5 concrete steps. Flew apart. No damage lol. Lucky. Anyway good luck with your phone!

I have dropped my shift multiple times with complete dismantle occurring (battery flying, case exploding, etc.) and have never had a problem. As of now the body is dented and scratched but still runs like a champ. January will be two years. Itching for a new toy, but it will be hard to let go of my shift.

These shifts are sturdy. I've dropped my shift raw dog no case on concrete numerous times. Only damage is a few scuffs around the edges.
Shifted from a Zombie Wasteland

Well, depending what I do...I may shift over after some time as long as I keep this Galaxy S2 E4GT in good standing..i can probably resell it and get a real phone. Yeah, wtf s up with quality control.
I heard in other countries- they have a different screen all together. Ones that do not shatter.
Gotta love America! Land of opportunity..and that of buy and upgrade, or sell to waste. constant...Yeah, HTC makes solid devices.

Yeah I'm an HTC Fanboy. Get Crap from a lot of people for it. Till I have to fix there phones :silly:

Goodbye Gentleman

Well gentleman some really bad news :crying: . My Beloved EVO Shift is Gone :crying: . It has moved on to a better place. I've been Uber sick these last few days, Flu. Truly feel like death warmed over. In the midst of feeling like Poo it was knocked off the nightstand, onto a hardwood floor. I was groggy, with a fever. Strike one screen cracked. Then in the middle of the night my dog has a mental break. Knocks the Shift off the nightstand into a Puke Bucket Strike two. Then I fish it out, Yuk. Holding it gingerly. It slips hits the floor again. Strike three, and out. This time the Screen came off . So long story short, no more Shift. Called Sprint, they gave me an SGS3 for Free. So that's what I'm rocking now. Still not rooted, haven't even signed in to Google on it yet. But I will be still be frequenting the Shift forms. Also I will maintain the Roms I always have. Will also keep up on trying to get new stuff for the Shift. Best forum I've ever had the luck to be a part of on XDA . I am moving on, but not leaving. Thank you gentleman for being awesome .

Very sad to hear this, I hope you enjoy your new phone and hopefully recover too. Sucks about the shift though, at least it went out quickly and not in pieces.
But what are your first impressions of SGS3? My upgrade is at the beginning of February and I was thinking about getting that one.

Not as easy as that . I am sick, and I was not in the mood for dealing with anyone. Especially after the situation with my Shift. My wife was speaking with them. They started giving her a hard time, about TEP. So I got on the line, and told her to just cancel my service. All the lines are up for an Upgrade ( 10 Lines ) . She changed her tune really quick. They next day Aired the SGS3 to me.
