I may be retarded...

So, I just traded my G2 for a N1 :/
For those that have considered this here are my notes.
N1 Cons, that stick out after switching.
- feels slower.
- NO WIFI calling without hacking.
- NO keyboard
- LOT less space, could not install all the apps I had on the G2
N1 Pros.
- Slimmer, feels nicer in pocket.
- My battery is not eaten up by "Cell Standby", but rather the applications I use.
Umm yeah, I think I made a mistake

Agreed. Especially with the Nexus S just around the corner.

I have both phones and prefer the G2. I still love the screen on the Nexus, though!

I too have both phones, i use the G2 and my girl uses the N1. We will have to switch when Gingerbread hits.

Why would you do that without consulting us first?
Is there any chance you can trade back?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

In a sense you did a good trade and in a sense you didn't. Nexus is still a great phone. Its just isn't up to par with the g2. Of course newer phones newer hardware. But you still have a amazing phone on your hands that's worth keeping. Its the official dev phone for a reason. So don't feel upset, it could be worse. You could have traded for a vibrant lol.

Also the N1 only has two touch imputs (and they are terrible). I moved from the N1 to the G2 so yeah I really think you should have stayed.

Straight up?
If so you got hosed. Although the N1 would barely qualify as a downgrade.

Exactly lol I traded my vibrant for this g2 straight up and I feel bad for the guy who traded with me lol. I loved my vibrant especially with a custom rom but this phone is so awesome. But hey atleast you'll get gingerbread first =)

How are vibrants bad? The screen is one of the best ones available. So is the gpu and the hummingbird. Plus its slim and lightweight. It has its downsides but so does the g2.

Yeah... the Vibrant seems like a nice phone. Then you look at the brand and think to yourself, uhh... never mind.
Plus I wouldn't be crazy about an iPhone look-alike.

My wife has the samsung fascinate from verizon. Reaaly tight phone, amazing resolution, lightest phone out there

lol anyways... back to original topic, I hope op got lots of cash with that trade lol

i traded a vibrant for my g2 also...i got the vibrant back 3 days later after the guy bricked. i gave him my hd2 for it...a friend brought the vibrant back on odin....i'm happy and i'm looking to sell my nexus one asap

Who cares if the G2 isn't getting Gingerbread first? Since when has SW stopped a phone from being awesome, when it already has awesome SW? The fact of the matter is, 4 input touch screen lol. I love it, the N1 could never do that, and the capacitive buttons on the G2 are to die for. The OC capability on this phone are endless and Steve Klondik(Cyanogen) is working endlessly to make a Cyanogen build that is awesome for the G2. Gingerbread will come, but I'd much rather have it after ol' Cyan has added the icing to it.

I went directly from an N1 to a G2, last week. I have not found one thing that makes me regret my choice. The G2 just feels like the N1's natural successor.
Besides, Cyanogen himself has a G2 and will, I'm sure, be all over Gingerbread.

Evo 3d and nexus have credit on Sprint server

Go to now.sprint.com/nexus and you get an image that credits it
And if you go to now.sprint.com/evo3d it directs you to the home page. That showing they are crediting it.

Well see thats my question.
will the Evo 3d be a Lg phone or a htc phone?

It has that Samsung feel to it, but it's a pretty sweet phone. It feels solid and the little chin bit feels nice in the hand, but I'm not huge on the plastic myself. Nice to see it at least come to Sprint, I'm not entirely sold on these dual cores as I don't game or take in a whole lot of media on it sans music / random videos. 3D phones ... ehh, it should be the big phone of the 2 and I know the 3D toggle will be there ... and there is all that talk about 3D on displays that don't really do it justice ... blah blah blah. I'd consider the Nexus S, especially for just a year. Will be interesting to see what is what.

I'm itching to find out how much it'll sell for. I don't have any problems with selling my Evo to get my hands on a Nexus S on Sprint.

they will soon. probably at ctia. but their dual cores are inferior to the tegra/samsung dual cores. @ 1ghz vs 1ghz, htc/qualcomm's is about 25% slower. qualcomm is setting them at 1.2 ghz so it'll make up some of the gap but power consumption will shoot up plus the tegra 2 is 5nm smaller so tegra 2 is overall more power efficient. i'd personally want a tegra 2 but not much of a choice.

why is this being posted again now? This was shown in the other lengthy thread about the new phones coming. Site has been like that for a week, and I wanna say someone posted in that thread saying the nexus one has been like that since it was rumored to come to sprint a long time ago too, and ended up not.

Its just hard to take Samsung serious when it comes to phones. I mean the rule the tv world but I just don't like how they support their phones(taking forever with updates/fixes). Very hard to believe the nexus s is a sammy product and not an HTC.

Nexus S IS NOT SAMSUNG's. For the last time, GOOGLE wanted the phone, GOOGLE gave samsung the specs, GOOGLE tested it, and it's aosp. It is no where close to the **** support that the other samsung craphones get.

Lol very valid points. But the evo successor is on its way and lets hope its manufactured by HTC and has a way better screen than right now so we don't have to worry about light leakage.

And what? You sure it isn't an iphone crap in that picture?

I hope so, and I like that image. No buttons, truly tablet convergence ice cream sandwich.

Hopefully the internals are something exciting like that N1 had for its time.

Going off my HTC experience the fewer buttons the better...

i prefer HTC/Moto

No trackball..... Trackball notification alerts are the best. Imagine an N1 with a 4" screen dual core, front camera, 4g and a trackball. That s my ideal N1 replacement.

i like the buttons but cheers to htc!

I've had the N1 now NS. And a Hero and EVO in between. While I love the build quality (feel) and the development for HTC devices, I had nothing but hardware problems with all of them. Both the T-Mo and Sprint versions of the NS have been flawless, so I'm kind of torn if I would upgrade to the N3...

I wanna see lg and sony ericsson entries as well. I'm just a bit disappointed with htcs design for right now. No capacitive buttons are just fine. But please dammit, listen like you've listened on the boot loader. Put in the trackballs as they have never been a problem but a compliment.

Majority of people don't have huge hands, Samsung moved it there because the third button is easiest to hit. On the evo the home is a slight stretch. IMO Sammy got it right.

I don't mind either layout.
But I am extremely annoyed that there is more than one layouts. Google should force the manufacturers to standardize it so its the same on all android devices. I switch between 3 android devices frequently and its annoying as hell.
One of my devices is a dell streak, which doesn't even use the right amount of buttons, the right icons, or the correct placement of any of the buttons. Going from a HTC phone to a Moto Phone to a Dell Steak makes me press the wrong buttons quite a bit.

I've been waiting for this thing for a long time. it looks so sexy.
i want it so bad, but i just found out about the nexus prime coming out soon so i'm torn.
i don't now which one to get. :/

I personally wouldn't like it if all the phones had the same layout, it gives each manufacturer their own. While I totally agree it would be annoying with three of the devices, I don't think majority of us have that issue persay.

That is a sweet looking phone. Let's hope it get's more Dev support than it's predecessor, because I know one thing; TouchWiz has to go, immediately.
Actually, it's pretty sad that the 1st Epic was such a let-down

I agree about the concern regarding the lack of developer support. We know the tremendous level of support the Evo 3d is receiving. Based on track record, the 3d will be running 25 different versions of custom Roms based off Ice Cream Sandwich before the Epic Touch gets it's first.
