Nexus one for 600-650$,is it worth it?

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.

Well said, backup N1 is for sure on my mind.

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)
Phil

need advice on a trade..

Hey I just need some advice here.
I got a friend who wants to trade me a
Nexus one with cyanogenmod7 on it.
I have a g2 that's rooted also with cyan.
My question is with my g2 I get about a gig of
Internal memory I know with the nexus is doesn't have much memory.
Should I stay with the g2 with more internal memory or should I move to the nexus.
Has anyone else done this trade with anyone?
I would like some pros and cons that would help with my decision.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Honestly, id keep the G2. Second gen snapdragon rapes the first gen (which the nexus has) in CPU and especially GPU department. Now if you want something without a kb then thats personal preference. The Nexus will always have the advantage being a native google phone, but in terms of hardware its a downgrade imo

i own both phones, on an off day the g2 runs figure eights around the nexus, and just utilize your apps2sd for memory justification..now if this g2 only had that track ball of the nexus id b 100% content. i can't stand this ridiculous excuse of a user input the "already feels stuck out the box trackpad". just my thoughts.

I agree, I have both too, and I really like the track ball of the nexus one; also the flashing multicolored notification lights are really nice. Another plus of the nexus one are those three dock pins on the bottom for the desktop dock. I really love that feature, why don't more manufactures implement this. I was kind-of thinking of drilling in some holes and wiring it up on the g2 but had second thoughts.

keep the G2, get a new friend.

But yeah I don't think there's any real reason to trade a G2 for a Nexus One, especially if you're just going to be rooted and update yourself anyways.
Maybe if you need some money and he's going to put some on his end to make the trade

Anyone selling a GSM Nexus S?

I will be as soon as I know a release date for Nexus Prime. For tmobile that is.
...On a side note, I don't care about your speculations as to whether it is or is not coming out for tmobile. I DON'T CARE. We will find out later that is all anyone can say.

I sure hope it does, looks cool. I've read a couple of reviews on it. So best of luck.
I'd be looking for a tmobile nexus s btw.

I suggest waiting just a few more days before buying anything, Panda. There are going to be tons of people trying to sell their Nexus S once the Prime is announced... including me!

As an owner of an NS since day 1 of BB release I highly recommend you spend your money on ANY non samsung smartphone. Nexus S being no exception. I've been hanging on as long as I can for an ICS device although now looking at the UI I'm strongly thinking about going Verizon and Bionic. I can't wait to relinquish my NS. What a POS.

Sorry for the quality, taken on a MT4G, and I'm not photographer. Last one is just a screenshot of what's on it right now. I'll be using it until I get a new phone around the 12th. I don't overclock it either, for what it's worth.

I also have the box in mint condition and the original screen cover. All the original accessories can be included, except maybe the headphones, unless you want my earwax.

Cool, looks decent. And just a tad curious, may I ask what phone you're replacing the ns with?

I'm going to do the same thing I do with all of my other phones...use it . As far as making reach its full potential, I'm waiting for a bad ass custom ROM to surface. Once the boards are riddled with new ROMs that really push this hardware, thats when my fun really begins. For now, I'm going to run stock for a couple months to give the development community some time to cook up some awesomeness.

What case are you planning on buying? My sister wants to put on a cell phone charm as well, but the only cases that have a cutout for the lanyard are Samsung cases that we've found so far.

Actually...I liked "Take over the world"

Buying more accessories for it than I need. Cables, cases, batteries, chargers, screen protectors, etc... till I figure out which ones I like best and use most often, then the rest will stay in a box as spares.

Upgrade: HTC one s or Samsung galaxy nexus?

Sorry dudes/dudettes had to make a change and leave the 9 life mytouch 4g. Which one would you choose? Both cost $99 on windtab. (Aka contract). I went with the HTC one s I've only used it for a day and so far my impressions. Beats audio sound is excellent, cameras is quick and beautiful, quadrant scores of about 5200, speakerphone is loud, battery is pretty darn good. But software... Definitely needs a custom rom. Lol why bother with the question you ask? I pretty much chose the one s because spec wise it is superior to the nexus BUT software wise the nexus will have the latest and greatest from Google.... What would you have done?
Keep in mind I could still exchange it....

If you have the money, ditch the contract man, it'll save you SO much money within 6 months, expecially if you buy the Nexus.
As for preference, i would have to go with the one s. I actually like sense so thats part of it (its freaking beautiful) but i like the size of it better. I don't need this massive brick of a phone lol. They are pretty much the same once your root them.

I'd do the one s.
