I love my n1

Just bought my first nexus one tonight for 200 and I have to say this is the most amazing phone I have ever used. I am coming from a dream and this thing leaves it in the dust big time. Can't wait to root it! Sorry you guys can imagine how happy I am

I upgraded 2 weeks ago also from a g1. Debated back and forth over a sgs or the n1 for a long time. My only regret is not buying both docks

Yeah where did you buy it so cheap, even if it is a refurbished or used unit?

I still love my nexus like the first day I bought it by far the best phone!

Why'd you pay so much, I only paid $150 for mine... with a dock. LOL

Awesome, I got mine from Craigslist too... guy was asking $500; I offered him a brand new (still in the package) 16gb iPhone 3GS for it and he accepted. I went to the AT&T store, renewed my contract, paid $199 for the iPhone and he met me in the parking lot to swap.
A few days later AT&T announced that they were dropping the price of the 3GS and offered everyone a price match credit, I went to the store and claimed my $50 credit, thus making my N1 cost $149 + 2yr contract...

Sweet! Thats a good deal
I had a in package 3gs one time but it was running ios 4 already so no jail breaking but i sold that sucker to buy 2 g1's and $300 cash in my pocket.
I use Simple mobile which is an MVNO of t mobile. $60 no contract gives me unlimited talk, text, web, mms and it supports 3g . The N1 flies on the network

I really don't mind the contract... I have 5 lines and have been with AT&T for over 6 years... another 2 won't hurt.

Lapdock prices are absurd

we should probably go above and beyond to make sure motorola doesn't discover that yous guys have basically provided me with a way to justify the price of a lapdock, i mean, otherwise they're gonna "upgrade" it, and jack the price up over tablets...tablets that don't require a 500 dollar attachment
look at this
http://www.google.com/search?q=moto...gc.r_pw.&fp=718c35d66707d000&biw=1152&bih=567
you see how dramatically the price varies? what in **** is going on with this thing? is it going to be a thing, or something fanboys hoard knowing damn well i won't give them a ****ing dime?
just my thoughts

Im thinking about doing the 175 for the refrub on the at&t website. I doubt it'll go lower than that.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

the att website has it for 175
EDIT:
damn, got beat to it

so new lapdocks are $299 while refurbs are $175.
why... do many online retailers and such show lapdocks at more than $299?
should they not adjust their prices to what the current price from the manufacturer is?
i understand that people sell their items for what they want.
but it just doesn't make sense to overprice something that you don't want to keep. it's like when you buy a car. as soon as it gets driven off the lot, it's worth less. it never increases in value.
unless it becomes a classic or something.

Just be on the lookout for a good deal. I just sold mine on CL for $150...

Lol, just checked on Craigslist vegas, a guy selling it fot $400, and he's giving a link with $499 brand new. Better include the phone with it on that price

lol that so funny

im sorry guys if this is against the rules but I have one for sale. ill sell it for 150. im in nj and sold my ATRIX for cash for a prime and I have yet to sell the ATRIX

i got a message from att a couple of weeks ago to get the webtop for 99$. I'm in canada and it is for att customers but i thought i would just let u guys know

webtop ≠ lapdock
thanks, though.

My dad just got a GSII, he's taking it back and ordering a Skyrocket. This is an awesome deal IMO.

Anyone find a place where to get this price for upgrades? Amazon's giving $.01 for new activations, but price goes up to $289 or something for upgrades.

Sent from the Galaxy, 2 stars to the left.

I'm thinking of switching to AT&T since I'm not currently in a contract and I think I'd much rather keep with a gsm carrier since I have a habit of changing phones frequently. Is the Skyrocket pretty much the best device available right now?

The Galaxy S II is currently the top dog in AT&T's line up. The Skyrocket has a bigger screen, but as for hardware spec., the Galaxy S II reigns supreme.

You signed another contract just to get a deal on a phone? Wow, man... I hope you thought that through. Where I live, even if they gave you $100 with your free phone, you'd still be losing a ton of money in the long run.

Just make sure not to cancel your contract before the 2 years is up as Amazon charges and extra fee of you do.

It works for my situation. Maybe not yours. The other lines on my family plan are not under contract. I could cancel one of those.

It doesn't use the Samsung exonys processor, other than that better in every way.

It's more than just a different CPU. But can you elaborate on your statement? "It's better in every other way" What makes the Skyrocket better than the SGS2?

It has LTE, 4.5' inch screen, Qualcomm instead of exynos in sgs2. Other than this everything else is same I guess. But I would take the speed of exynos processor any day than the crappy qualcoms.

Upgrade

18 days till im eligible, and it pisses me off that the newest phones are $300. That is crazy, i got family with kids, wife only works part time, i refuse to dump that kinda money. Im actually thinking dinc 2 or tbolt. Dinc 2 free, tbolt $49. I could get bigger batt, case, screen protector, and klipsch head phones and save $150. Not to mention both phones have great roms now. I could prolly get dual core in a year off ebay for $150 then, and sell the other. No way will i pay $300, im not impressed with any of those phones.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Although I completely agree with you, the prices are too damn high, I will br forking down the $300 for the Nexus come January. Why? Because it's a piece of technology I will be using everyday for the next 20 months. I'd rather spend the extra money to get the cutting edge right now rather than save the money and have to be behind the curve.
But hey, that's just me! On the converse, I've been rocking the same laptop for 4 years now because I refuse to upgrade until something substantial comes out, so I totally understand your point of view!

What i find really sh**y is that verizion only gives me a measly 35 dollars twords my upgrade. I have been a loyal paying customer for 6 years now, i pay 65 a month and have spent thousands on phones, and for being so loyal i get 35 dollars every 2 years twords a new highly overpriced phone. It just irks me, as much money as i have spent on phones and service, they should at least give me half off any phone i want.

Exactly, and the new ones just arent that far ahead, im going cheap. I been with them forever, my bill is $180 a month for 2 phones!
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

You can upgrade your phones at places other than Verizon. Amazon typically has 300 dollar phones on sale for 200 bucks right after they go on sale. They had the Rezound for a penny with new activation on B-Friday.

Not to mention, Costco had them, incl the Rezound, for $49 shortly after that. You dont need a member of Costco to get the wireless prices.

No costco here, we tried the cheap upgrade for my wife, they wouldnt do it inlesss we changes plans. We have an alltel plan
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

I also agree, its getting absolutely ridiculous. So what's the next Verizon standard in a cpl years for new phones? $500-600 on contract? I sure hope not. Ok got the mini rant out lol. Well unfortunately I will be spending the 300 as well for the GN but after I check out other options I.e. best buy, amazon. I Will be keeping Verizon no matter what.
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium

I was holding out for the Nexus, but it was just taking too long, and I couldn't see paying the $300 for it, so I snagged an Xperia Play on Black Friday for free and loaded it up with emulators...

I want something rooted with solid dev work going on, im leanin towards the inc2 as 4g just dont mean much to me. Ill see what sales are going on after christmas though.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

For me, my Incredible is just fine. I'm going to wait until there are more devices out with ICS and see how that all plays out. Maybe another year or something, see what HTC puts out in that flavor. I just can't see myself getting any other phone other than HTC. I hate Motorola's UI, and not a big fan of my wife's Samsung Fascinate.

Same here i will keep my incredible till it dies. Im not even going to upgrade till something that really makes me say wow comes out. Im not a fan of the larger screens that are on all the new phones. They are hard to fit in your pocket and hard to hold. If you use a hard case it makes it even bigger. For the last 20 years we have tried to make phones smaller, now everyone wants a phone the size of a notebook, which i find crazy. As for dual core that just seems like overkill, after all it is a phone, if i want to play games i have a ps3, and if i want a pc i have 3. Larger screen + dual core = shorter battery life. And as of now lte is non existent in my area so 4g isnt a good selling point for me either. I will stick with what i got, just like the saying says, "if it aint broke, dont fix it".

I normally get pretty good deals from Verizon...I haven't paid for a phone for about 4 years!
That being said, I love my Incredible and will keep using it for some time.

I would check out best buy, wirefly, costco's online, and other places. I got a rezound for 50 on an upgrade. Might wait until Feb. because you usually see drooping prices then.

If you go with a Thunderbolt keep in mind that the stock Rezound battery fits perfectly with no extra heft, similar to how us Inc users get Evo batteries for the extra capacity.

Who bought their Moto X off contract?

I'm considering doing it, I have the Galaxy Nexus but the power button is giving up...
I'm curious, seeing as though you paid $600 + tax, how long do you plan to keep it? Obviously the Moto X should stay current with android for some time...
I expect most of you who bother to reply to be Verizon customers, since we unlimited data holders are a dedicated bunch

I walked into AT&T ready to pay full price but somehow managed to walk away only paying on contract price even though I wasn't eligible for an upgrade. That said, had I actually paid full price, I would still love it just as much and would still be extremely happy with my purchase. I paid full price for both my HTC One and my GS4 Active and this thing blows both of those devices out of the water. As for how long I'll keep it, that depends on what's coming down the pipeline. I switch phones VERY often. I can definitely see myself sticking with this phone longer than I did the One or the GS4 Active though. It is quite the upgrade from the Galaxy Nexus, that's for sure. The GNex isn't in the same league as the Moto X.

You must be making the big bucks to be able to off-contract phones new all the time.
I bought my GalNex for $350 new on eBay about a year ago... I was hoping to get more use out of it, but at the same time I'm not disappointed I "have no choice" but to buy a new phone
That's some luck to pay the upgrade price, I doubt Verizon has overlooked any loopholes there...

I had a gnex myself, on Verizon and paid full retail for the Moto X and I'm not regretting it one bit.. this phone blows the gnex out of the water in almost every way. The only thing I miss is the unlocked boot loader. Do yourself a favor and get it, its worth it!

$677.98 after tax, zero regrets. Was cheaper then my $932 iPhone 5

I make a decent living but I also use craigslist to my full advantage. I was able to sell my HTC One for $500, and my year old iPhone 5 just sold for $500 as well.
Yeah, I don't know how I got it for that price, but I chalk it up to the ineptitude of the 4 representatives at the AT&T store that took over an hour to figure out how to sell me the Moto Maker card. Something happened when they were making the sale that caused me to lose LTE on all my devices for a few days, and I got an upgrade when there wasn't one. Now the LTE is back on, and I got the phone for less than half of what I was expecting to pay. Sometimes their stupidity can work to our advantage
I would definitely pull the trigger man, you will NOT be disappointed. I feel that the Moto X is the perfect marriage of hardware and software, just like the iPhone is. You have never seen Android run this smoothly before. It is the best possible representation of what an Android phone can be nowadays. Or any smart phone for that matter. I've been through A LOT of phones (including the GNex), so I feel I am qualified to make a statement like that
