that nexus one is looking real sexy ::mouth waters::
don't know if it'll come to sprint this year or not, I suppose there is a hope if it goes to big red.
I'll probably pick up a hero with a bad esn in the summer after more android phones come out for sprint and it gets cheap, and swap the esn with an old phone I've got and run it on my sero plan. it'll be the trusty old vogue-droid until then.

I don't think that I could own a non-htc device after being spoiled for so long with my vogue, so that knocks the moto droid out I've seen more than one report saying this spring for Nexus 1 on Verizon so hopefully there's no funny business lol.. T-mobiles offering it for 179.00 on new contract but I bet it's 299.99 at least on VZW with upgrade.

Isn't this the dude who got pissed off with Android on a daily basis, and swore on a weekly basis that he was never going to use Android again? I can't sleep and decided to check out things on the Vogue forum since I've been gone. Good to see fixxxer2008's still providing entertainment.
Also, although I can't make calls with it, I've still got my Vogue. I think I'll try a NAND flash on it just to see how everyone's hard work has been paying off.

SGS2 UK vs US versions

besides the home key, anything ells change?

NFC enabled on the AT&T version.

And you can count on a ton of bloat ware (easily fixed though). I'm sticking with my unlocked white euro sgs2... I LOVE the home button and a bumped processor isn't good enough for me to give it up... plus its cool to have the version others don't! ;-)
Sent from the best phone on the planet (SGS2) running the best ROM on the planet (Cognition S2)!

You'll **** bricks before your carrier authorises a firmware update with the American version.

There is LED notification for US versions I think.

HSUPA speeds are likely crippled, too.
And yeah, the T-Mobile version will have the best theoretical download speeds, but the worst performance, especially graphics.
It'll also use its very own totally-unique-won't-work-with-anything else firmware...it's a one-off, almost an orphan, so don't expect much community support for it.

hehe, bought the UK version or "unlocked" like new for $450.... thanks foe the replies guys, BTW the CPU is 1.2 so it's the same speed, no speed bump..

Is there a dump of the 4G ROM yet?
It would be nice to have a true US English dialer for example that doesn't say 'Favourites', etc.

Sprint version is the best with the bigger screen and LED indicator
TMobile users are getting the short end of the stick with the Qualcomm processor

Ughhh called my local att retail store and I quote it was supposed to launch, but its been delayed end quote. Dialed 611 the rep could only point me to the att site to sign up for email notification when it's available, which I have done weeks ago. Any one know why the delay?
I'm gonna go ballistic if this is apples doing.

That looks nice without the physical button. I presume you only need to use the Vol Down + Power to boot in Download mode, the same way you do it in Galaxy Tab.

Colour me surprised that the regional spelling is the centre of your query.

Just heard from an att sales representative, take it with a grain of salt, but he said sprint gets it exclusive for a month.

It's not a rumor, Samsung confirmed it would be a dual core 1.5ghz Snapdragon.

Speak for yourself on the screen. 4.5" is too big for me. That's why I have a tablet. As for the LED, my last two devices haven't had it so I'm kind of used to it being gone. Certainly not a deal breaker either way.

I'd actually say that the biggest advantage the Sprint version has is the bigger battery (1800mAh). Battery life with huge screens is my #1 concern. Also is using NoLED app for the Att version really that bad?

Will there ever be a case like this?

I've wanted a case like this since my first android phone. I just want a simple slide out keyboard for a Nexus 4. I know the demand for this probably isn't high though. What are the chances of someone company making one?
I'd pay $50-75 for one.

Probably not. Too much work for only one form factor. If they could make it work with the GSIII, maybe.

They seem to be bluetooth keyboards; if the Nexus 4 can work with the keyboard, I suppose you could get an iPhone5 keyboard case and an Nexus 4 hard case and turn it into a DIY project.

Probably slim to none. I looked forever hoping they would have one for my past phones (N1, GS2, GN) and it never happened.

Well it is a higher possibility with the N4, I don't remember any of those phones having a completely flat back and forget the curved GN - there was no hope of a keyboard slide case for that.
I wouldn't completely rule it out.

that's my only problem with current high end Android phones. They don't have real keyboards, while there are a few exceptions, those phones are either CDMA or just plain suck.

[Q] any reason GEL is exclusive?

is there really any reason that google has made the GEL launcher exclusive to the nexus 5? I looked at the lg g2 a few days ago in my local t-mo store and liked the fact it had a large screen, and figured i could get something like that if I had my bars transparent like the bars on the g2 since it's a huge price jump and I couldn't afford it. That being said, is there really any reason other than a selling point to keep the GEL on the n5 only? Thanks

It's still in an early state of development. It's like a "Testing" phase. Google is improving it before releasing it.

Moto G 4G has a gyroscope!

Motorola added a gyroscope to the 4G version so you can take Photospheres with the Google Camera app.

Dunno, but I don't find having a gyro so important.

For me it's all about photosphere. It's a really cool feature.

I sold my regular Moto G to get a 4g LTE version...
Didn't notice the gyroscope before, but after reading this thread, tested the camera and looks like the gyroscope is there...

Is Moto G 4G already available in US? I cannot find it for example on BestBuy website, why?

That works on my Nexus 4, but I really don't find it useful. It's like 360 degree panorama (crappy one...)
Oh well, that's what I think of it. If you find it useful, then have fun with it

Guess this explains why the LTE comes with Spotlight Player installed as a system app :cyclops:

Not only gyro is used by camera, it is also used by many apps (this includes peek from paranoid android)

The launch price is £149, but in the UK, it's being quoted as £10 more for £159. Considering you can now get the moto g for £100 quite easily (I got it for £78 with vouchers etc), its still a fantastic deal, so don't feel left out . As ever, you get what you pay for.

My friend asked me for an entry level android phone recommendation; I think I am going to tell him to grab this 4g one. Now with the gyroscope, very cool. High end features in a cheap device. Seems like a solid android device. I have an N5 myself, which I really like, but this phone seems pretty good. You guys like it?

No doubt about it, the 4G sounds great. The 3G one will also drop and remains a bargain
