Guys I m new in the forums so please bare with me..I was about to place my order for nexus one it was sold out,,now I don't clearly know the reasons why they stoppd selling it..but couldn't get a good deal anywhere,in amazon its about 600-650$ .is it worth the buy?as I have a feeling froyo my be last update for nexus and no more..and suggest me some good alternatives please..

Froyo will NOT be the last update for the nexus, gingerbread won't be last update for nexus either
But good alternatives, I would say samsung galaxy s, but don't expect updates from samsung, froyo prob will be last update for galaxy s, it will be the community that provides updates on it
Motorola looks like it will lock down all of its future android phones, so I can't recommend them
Any new htc android will be the best choice I think

Support for a costly product which I get to buy once in a while is must,,galaxy s is a real good phone but without a smooth interface and I don't expect frequent bug fixes from Samsung(I use a galaxy spica I hate samsung for no updates), how about the htc desire?
Edit: saw some videos about no multitouch but only 2 finger support (pinch to zoom only)for nexus and desire,and the faulty multitouch on both devices,do they really matter in real usage?

Just register as a developer ($25) then buy a nexus one when they're back in stock ($520 + tax).. and to answer your question: yes, it's worth it

I dont know if the dev version is better, but it wont be worse.
And should you buy a Nexus One? All I will say is this:
Im playing Final Fantasy VII right now with the new Playstation1 emulator on my Nexus at FULL SPEED WITH SOUND.
Nuff said
Can i get a link to that emulator and ff7
Muchas grassy ass
I don't think any phone is worth that much.
I did TONS of shopping around and waiting and ended up getting a Nexus One for 350 through Craigslist.
I'm insanely happy with my buy, but if you need one ASAP, just register as a Dev
I have one for sale on ebay cheaper than that but its on locked and on T-Mobile bands

Honestly I would probably spend that much for the nexus simply cause I think its the best on the market still simply because its the Google developer phone. Clean vanilla android, updates right from Google, will get gingerbread, and its the best build quality still out there.
Or buy mine currently in the XDA Market forum.
I'll happily ship anywhere

Yeah, the htc desire would be good, because essentially its just a nexus one internally, only difference is buttons, optical sensor (instead of trackball) and 64 mb more ram and of course sense ui.

Hello and sorry for this question but I am new to this...
I want to order a N1 and don't know how to register for the developer program ..can you please just post a link so i can follow and get my device
Thank you

You can go to https://www.google.com/accounts/Ser...sh&followup=http://market.android.com/publish and register as a developer. It is a one time $25 fee
The HTC Desire is getting Froyo with 720p recording. Is the Nexus One going to get that officially from Google?
is there a way to get HTC desire in Canada
Hello,
Is there a way to order and get HTC desire in Canada?
I will be interested to get this one (HTC sense is a cool option to have)

Today I read a post on android police that android market is now available officially in many countries. My Country happens to be one of them.
It says no action required on user. Does this mean I can say goodbye to MarketEnabler???

I have several friends with the droid x and have rooted many of them. I wouldn't trade my evo for one///ever.
I rooted mine and all that good stuff it wasn't hard at all. Is the evo eaisier and does it have a better screen????

They are similar in specs. You should play with the Evo at a Sprint store. Most have it on display now.
Well Evo seems easier to root with unrevoked and screen is almost the same, I hate hump in the back of the droid tho, and I got tired of motorola phones (bad speakers in most the I owned ) so I stick with the Evo and HTC if you want veruzon you should wait for the thunderbolt.or incredible s to come out , thunderbolt is an Evo redesing with new sense and inc s is almost the same just smaller

Verizon has been ripping me off for the last six months and im sick of it. And im sick of Motorola locking there bootloaders. Is sprint getting any new htc phoned similar to the evo???
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
The specs are pretty much the same.
So in my opinion:
form factor: I like the evo. It's nice, slick, flat and sexy. The droid x has that awful bump on the back and is hideous. Winner: Evo
UI: Motoblur's happenings widget is badass, but HTC Sense is faster, better looking and more usable. The widgets are nice and don't slow the system down. Winner: Evo
Root: Don't know Droid X root method, but the Evo was by far the easiest root I've ever gotten (coming from the MyTouch Slide and the G2). Winner: Evo
Roms/dev support: We got CM, which means we have THE BEST AOSP roms on earth. We've got half a dozen fantastic sense UI roms (Myn, MikFroYo, Konikub's Elite, etc) and they're always updated and supported. Plus, a bunch of themes. Winner: Evo
I'd get an Evo, but you should try one out at the store before making a decision. Some people really like their Droids.

You have to download the HTC drivers, Android SDK (which any rooted android user should already have) and UnRevoked. Then open unrevoked and root. All done. There's an FAQ around here somewhere...

So I have to admit I'm feeling some withdrawal from my nexus s. I got the EVO 3d for $100 no contract so in trying it out, in on my fourth day with it and I have to admit its nothing like ny nexus s . I give it less than a week before I go back and sell the 3d.

Lol well the 3d is actually better than I thought but I was more interested in screen resolution, gpu and dual core. But I'm not at all happy with it. Maybe its all the bloat or maybe I just miss miui but i definately feel it...

Yea, locked bootloader and aosp is gonna be a B to get going on that thing. I get mad at the whole radio issue, I will probably have a 3D in my house with the option to swap for my NS4G, but I almost know Ill be keeping my NS4G.

Actually Sprint allows aps to be removed now. So there should be no issues dumping the NASCAR or football stuff.

Um. Sense isn't "bloatware" or a "app." That's the ROM, of course you can't remove that because its in the frameworks.
But individual apps like NASCAR and whatever bloat that are included can be removed without root access. Apks in /system/app/ cant be removed, root is needed to make changes throughout the system.
Anyone know what new phones are coming for sprintand if there worth getting rid of my evo for?

Not quite...my understanding is that it's only a single core processor. I'd rather have the 3D feature and not use it if I have to give dual core up.
OP, the only phone we know is coming soon that's in the same class as the new generation of phones is the Samsung Galaxy S II. HTC and Moto have both released top-end phones on Sprint in the last few months. My guess is that after the SGSII, the next high end phones we see on Sprint will be the next Nexus and other phones designed for ICS.

Have you considered the Photon?

Blackberry Bold Touch and Blackerry Torch Touch on 8/21, Samsung Galaxy S II in the next month or so, the Nexus Prime within 3 months or so.
the conquer is lame, and if youre gonna get a kingdom, you might as well get a 3d...
photon and 3d are already out, and are most certainly superior in specifications to the evo.

Is this an annoucement date or when the phone is actually going to be available?
I had planned on waiting a couple months to see what comes out but I left my EVO in a golf cart this past weekend and before I got back to the course the cart kid had rinsed out the cart and got a little water on it. It wasn't even a lot of water but the phone is acting crazy now and keeps hopping in and out of car mode and goes straight to speakerphone when I answer a call. Not sure if I can put up with it like it is and I not going to spend the $100 deductible to replace.
I'm hoping my 30 day trial will get me a look at the SGS2. If not, kinda leaning towards the photon but need to spend some time with it in store. Was a little underwhelmed by the 3D.
i have seen the Photon but i have not really considered it.
I really like HTC and want to stick with it.
How does the Motorola and Samsung stack up with HTC?

this statement is false..i personally went to sprint to pay my phone bill today and while i was there i gave the photon a test drive..there is absolutly no truth about the ram operating @512 off the dock. with that being said..the photon is a very nice phone speed wise..i imagine battery life is better cuz of dual core..i did not care for the screen or the phone as a whole...HTC are hard to compete with and i will continue to be a customer.
