Hey just before getting another nexus one wondered if anyone has heard of or predicts any price change for the unsubsidised version in the near future? I heard the HTC Bravo is coming out next month should I wait to see what happens in March?
cheers.
I'd wait until March, though frankly I doubt it: it's Google's current flagship device, blah blah. But just out of curiosity, why a second N1?
buying on behalf of a friend who's total noob. It says the vodafone and verizon versions are due to release in Spring 2010 maybe they'll introduce a new price then if not i doubt there'll be one soon after that
wait till monday. After the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona we'll have more info about future devices such as the Bravo and can more accurately calculate price-drops.
What exactly will be the benefit of waiting for the Bravo? Isn't it essentially the N1 with 720p video recording, a ugly black hardware design, and HTC Sense? I honestly see it as a downgrade. Since Sense will probably be ported over in a ROM, we already have Snapdragon, and I don't know any way to compensate for the 720p recording unless it is software related and can also be ported.
You're right, I don't even like Sense UI anymore. Cool, will wait for the MW Congress. Cheers
p.s. What do you think of ebay as a buying source?

720p recording is likely software. When the N1 first launched, the specs said 720p recording, then they pulled it since it wasn't supported yet. From the sounds of it, the Bravo has the exact same hardware, minus a few very small changes, and thus the added features should be portable.
It's only been out for a month, so I wouldn't count on it. Having a price drop that quick would only piss off all of us who bought it at full price.

Sounds like something a certain fruit might do...
Well it doesn't look like anything exciting happened at Barcelona, just some lame Samsung Wave and some kiddie sony erricson toys
well that's because MWC only starts tomorrow offically
tomorrow we're also gonna see Intel and Nokia pull off some magic...
I don't think you will see a price drop for a while. The subsidized phone is CHEAP for what it is.... 179 on big red would make this phone a real winner... I just hate verizon for being to pushy with changing phone features.
The most important spec, unknown between the N1 and the Bravo, is the RAM. Most of the specs for the Bravo I've seens said it will have 320mb RAM, instead of the 512mb the N1 has. If this is the case then the Bravo is not an attractive alternative for me. If the Bravo has 512mb RAM. then I like the all black case styling, the optical mouse, and the hard buttons more than my N1.
Will it be possible to flash all the CyanogenMod ROMs we have now for the N1 directly to the Bravo, or will the developers have to re-invent the wheel to transfer the ROMs to the Bravo?
Well as far as I'm aware the nexus is restricted to using less ram because of the operating system so some ram goes to waste? Anyways I've put in the order for 2 nexus one's.... didn't avoid tax this time :S

I believe people here have been working on a RAM hack for the Nexus One to allow it to use more of the available RAM, I'm not really that active in the Nexus One community since I don't yet have the phone, so don't quote me on this though.

Actually, you're pretty much correct. If you're rooted, you can flash the updated kernel and your phone will utilize all the available RAM. Still waiting for Google to give us an OTA, since I'm not rooting this puppy.
Damn so soon
Didnt google just announce though that there wasnt going to be a N2? - http://pocketnow.com/tech-news/google-says-no-nexus-two-nexus-one-is-last-of-the-line
Neowin has just learned from an inside source close to Google that they are hard at work on the successor of the Nexus One, dubbed the Nexus Two.
Although not too much information has been revealed about the Nexus Two, but the tipster has revealed Google is going to release it within the next month. With other rumors of Android 3.0 in the wild, running on what looks to be the Nexus One, which could actually be the first image of the Nexus Two, shows the device running a new firmware with a piece of paper covering the top of the phone.
Nexus One may not have sold a lot of units, around 135,000 units in the first three months, and was even dropped by Sprint due to poor sales and because its bigger competition, the HTC EVO 4G, was about to debut for release.
Google stopped shipping the Nexus One earlier this month, closing its online store so consumers couldn't purchase the phone directly from the company themselves.
According to our source, the Nexus Two is set to release next month, but no pricing, date or technical specs were released, but Google is secretly working on the Nexus Two. One thing is for sure, Google will need to make this release a good one if they want to compete with Apple's iPhone 4, Microsoft's Windows Phone 7, and the HTC EVO 4G.

this is all very confusing but also kind of f*****g sweet
I don't believe it...
I hope it's a tablet, 8" screen Media drive slot, USB port etc...
I am getting it if it is true but too bad it probably won't happen
According to CNET's Buzz Out Loud, Google announced it will not be producing any more devices. It's verified here:

LoL! 3.0 isn't even due 'til December! Those guys just saw the picture of a N1 with 3.0 and decided to make up a story.
Sounds like a great story...hopefully it will have a happy ending.
Probably stupidly referring to the G2 slide or whatever its called.
No screen/processor/OS upgrade worth making a Nexus Two right now in any case.
It's probably a tweaked nexus one to be sold as ADP3

I don't either...But if Schmidt said the N1's purpose was to push the hardware platform, and now everyone is pretty much caught up? I wouldn't put it past Google to want to push it again.
Come on G, show 'em how it's done...Again!
There is no point in pushing it again, not now, and not in any near future. The current top Android devices sport the best HW available.
Looking for page hits, that's what this article is...
This information does not surprise me at all with the exception of Google making another Nexus. About 3.0 i am not surprised at all and I expect leaks to start happening in august.. screens and images of phones that might carry the new Software version. Considering Google plans to debut this update around OCT then at the very latest we should have seen quite a bit by SEPT..
This is one of the rumors that everybody could write.
Obviously, bull****.
There won't be a N2. Since N1 kicked off android development so successfully, if google is working on some hardware, it'll be a tablet or something similar. Something to expand android to other devices.
What if T-Mobile's HTC Emerald IS the NEXUS TWO?
Ok I have not been one to complain but I am really frustrated at this point.
It has been 6 months since I purchased the Xoom and we still do not have our SD Support or 4G upgrades. I realize that the SD support will be here whenever Verizon approves or modifies the Zoom and releases the update but it is really frustrating. Our Zoom will also now be in the shadow of the new 4G galaxy tablet announced by verizon. This now removes all excuses and buts the blame on Motorola for either a hardware issue or a cost reduction plan put in place.
I am wondering if they are waiting till they announce a new tablet and get us tech enthusiasts wanting the new flashy tegra 3 and thus skip sending back our tablets for upgrade.
I agree completely! I think I've been very patient, but enough is enough with the Galaxy coming out this. Has anyone tried to argue with Verizon and get anything?
Instead of creating a new thread complaining about things that is found in the development thread, just bump one of the older ones beating on the issue?
Assuming you bought your Xoom on release date, it's still only been just under 5 months.

Thank Goodness!!! I guess it still qualifies as " Coming Soon"
As much as people complain, we will get the 4g upgrade, albeit late.
(Contrary to popular belief, complaining in forums does not hasten the update announcement. Exaggerated, emotional or fallacious arguments just serve to annoy the aspies.)
Before complaining, consider these alternate scenarios:
MMI could have decided to hold off to release until the 4g part had FCC approval, which would mean the Xoom would just be coming to market around now.
Or, they could've just released the Xoom as-is, with no 4g upgrade.
Its more of a way to rant and get it out of my system.
I am mostly upset because I have a 48 hour car ride coming up and
and am frustrated with Verizon for not having the update out to get my SD slot working for movies.
I still figure Ill end up upgrading to a tegra 3 before we actually get our 4g though.
My understanding of Tegra 3 is that it's still in prototype phase, and won't be ramped up for manufacture till Oct/Nov. Which means products on the shelves maybe Dec/Feb 2012.
I'd be willing to bet we get the 3.2 update soon, and the 4g update before October.
I want a tegra 3, too.
I am happy with the Tegra 2 minus the HD video issue. I have thousands of video files all in High Profile 720p. I spent years putting them together and hate converting them to play.
My only point is that I would not have bought the xoom if I would have known that in March 02 "Coming Soon" meant August. I would have at the very least returned it during the 14 day return period.
Well Asus has promised a Tegra 3 tablet in October. I posted the link a while back. Im go be all over that tablet.

Hi folks,
I was planing to buy the N4, but, seriously, after almost 6 months of the launch date, I don't know if it still is a great buy or if I should wait for the next wave of cellphones coming this spring (and if there are good phones upcoming).
Any clues on a better cellphone than N4 ? (I was also thinking about the Optimus, the one with the best hardware specs, but I have the same doubt, is it worth right now?)
Thanks!
I say if price is a concern then the N4 is the most bang for your buck.
I honestly did not need this thing but I am glad that I got it (coming from G2X running CM7).
Running stock unrooted (for now) and still happy (odd, I know)
Naa...
The Google I/O Come In May so wait two monthes for the X Phone or next nexus ...
From the phone that I have, I shouldn't even think and buy it right away (I'm using an old HTC Diamond touch, was using a BB but a thief robbed me 2 months ago...), but I'm not really sure if I buy it today, tomorrow I won't be sad due to a launch of a new version or really better phone, I mean, it's been around 6 months since the current generation of smartphones started (quad-cores @1.5Ghz [S4] 2GB ram), I wonder if the next gen (either 8-core or @2.5 or S5 or more ram, or even better video processors) will be launched really soon or will take at last more 6 months or so..
Anyone that has more information and is more into it, know something or have any hint on what to do ?
@Omer, that is my biggest concern, I wonder if they will really launch the next X Phone there (since they said that it isn't time yet for a new Nexus) and since I saw some news saying that the X-Phone won't be topmost hardware but will be the better price/hardware equivalency, I wonder if it will be really better than the upcoming Samsung S4 or perpahps the next gen upcoming HTC phone.
AW: [Q] Is it worth ?

And what do you want to do with an 8 core processor and more than 2 gigs of RAM? Dude, seriously. I can't even imagine how to use the Nexus while 2 gigs of RAM or all four cores at max frequency except for weird games with, for a phone, great graphics but generally bad controls.
That said I think the manufacturers should start focussing on other things than processors and RAM. Today's generation of phones got enough resources. It seems that in the future we will see big improvements in the phones displays. See 1080p and flexible displays. Especially flexible displays could really change the way we use smart phones but I doubt we will see that in 2013.
Just wait what manufacturers show on MWC. Then think about if you really need the ridiciulous specs shown there and furthermore think about the fact that the N4 will be supported by Google for at least two years.

First of all, it's been exactly 4 months since the release, not 6.
If you keep the mentality of "waiting for the next best thing" you'll never buy anything because there's always a next best thing around the corner. Whatever phone you decide to buy, it's not gonna be the greatest thing for more than a few months and you'll just have to live with that.
There's already the wave of 5", 1080p, 13MP phones coming out, but the reason why the N4 is still attractive is all those new phones will still cost 600+ off contract.
No one's stopping you from waiting another 6 months, but that's 6 months you could've been enjoying a good phone. I had one before and that HTC Diamond is some hot garbage.
Yep I was thinking about this 2 things too, what will be the upgrade in Phone X / next Nexus ?
Google usually do have major differences between the releases, so I'm really curious about the next phone, I'm wondering if the features that this new one gonna have will be amazing (it doens't really need to be better proc. or ram, as you said, we currently don't even use it all), but will be the next "awesome feature", and I'm worried to buy now beucase there seems to be so little time left for the next wave that really holds me back of buying it today.
Btw, @100eyes that is another concern, the price, from the leaks, and news and blabla, it seems that Phone X will be coming with a lower price basis.
The mistery on it is holding me more than anything, if I already knew some of the new features, probably I would buy today the N4 as it seem to be more than good enough for me (I have a N7 and I love the proc and all the things, and it is slower than the N4 LG)
Btw, about the release date, the wide release was 4 months agora (end of october) but the first release to a restricted public and testing public was 6 months ago, I'm talking about knowing what you gonna get and not what I'll really have my hands on in 1 or 2 months, I was planning on a max 4 months from now timegap.
Anyway, those 2 answers were pretty good, this topic is more to make a discussion of the real value than to make me decide hehe
Get the Nexus 4, you won't regret!
I say pull the trigger. coming from a G2x as well I couldnt be happier with rooted stock. All of the threads you see around here with people complaining are either
a) legitimate issues that can only be resolved by RMA. Its very possible to receive a faulty unit.
b) complete and utter retardation.
The threads complaining about "washed" out colors and other things such as that are completely bias and you really shouldnt let that effect your decision. Hope that helps!
I can't wait to see full support for 64 bit processors.. I feel the Nexus 9 should perform better.. Something tells me the OS and apps are not fully 64bit compliant yet. Any thoughts..? How has performance been for the rest of you guys/gals..?

This is one of the main reasons why I am returning mine, what's the point? It'll be quite some time before we see full support for 64 bit processors. We're paying this high of a price NOW for a tablet that the OS isn't even optimized for. That's the difference between apple and google, iOS is built around the hardware and for a limited amount of products; whereas android is built for a large variety of devices so it never really can be optimized for a specific tablet or phone because it has to cater to so many different devices with different specs.
Android should be flawless on a nexus device, after all a nexus device is supposed to set the tone and be an example of what android is.....too bad, because that is not the case with the n9.
Fwiw, I think the n9 is nice and all, got a lot of love for it but for what I paid for my 32gb n9 I expected more. I could live with a lil light bleeding and some recessed buttons but the lack of optimization and the battery life is unforgiving at this price. I bought the n9 to find out that maybe down the line at some point it will become the product I though that I was purchasing in the first place, if that makes any sense.

May i find out the areas which you feel the OS is not optimized? Is it the battery life?
When playing music or YouTube the tablet stutters and exhibits pops and clicks in the audio. It may just be the software is not optimized.. But for $600 it damm well should be. Given the way google handles things they could very well move on to the next thing and were left holding the bag.

Battery life should be better, don't get me wrong it's OK, I get may 7 hours but at this price 12 hours should be that norm. My n9 should not stutter, this thing is fast and you can tell....its sad but its kinda reminds me of touchwiz, the way it holds back Samsung's great hardware. Another thing that has bothered me is why no 3gb of ram? They are charging us a pretty penny and skimping on specs, the n9 is a ram hog. Right now with just the XDA app running usage is over 60% which is ridiculous.
At this price point you have to compare it to the iPad mini and or airs, apple just does so much of a better job all around. Apple has set the standard for what a high-end tablet should be and perform and the n9 comes close but it's not there yet. Had they added micro SD, I could overlook some things but this is a Nexus and we are too "dumb" to use a micro SD card. Its a great tablet but not at the price Google is charging, people are going to keep complaining because they expect more (as they should) for their money.

Agreed with what you said, except my battery life is only about 5hrs as I mostly surf on browser. Coming from an old iPad 2, this is one of my biggest disappointment. No tablet should have <8hrs SOT for normal usage to me. And as if not bad enough, the battery charging rate is almost the same or slower than the draining rate. What's Google doing!!
I'm ok with no SD card, but feel Google should give 64gb storage and 3g ram too.
Only things that's keeping me are lollipop, the tablet size/design and my refusal to go back to iOS.
64gb storage, 3gb ram, Qi charging by default and OPTIMIZE LOLLIPOP FOR 64BIT ARCHITECTURE.!
As it stands now this thing is not optimized for the hardware.

Google is the one that designs, sets the specs and tells HTC what to build it isn't the other way around. HTC is just a subcontractor that deals with manufacturing.

The 2GB RAM is most likely because nvidia wouldn't provide them with a TK1 SoC variant with more ram than that.

There is no way a software company goes to any hardware company and says to them ..... build it like this or else.
I worked for hardware manufacturer and it is always a compromise the customer says they want this, the company says too expensive we can do this.
The customer then says how about this, the manufacturer...
Continues to they get a compromise both sides can live with.
I know because this was part of my job.
Got a Smartwatch 3 you think maybe Google went to Sony and said Sony add no heart rate sensor .... or else?
You think they went to Motorola and they owned Motorola at the time and ordered them to use obsolete processors?
The original question is about performance and I answered It I am happy enough.
You want to believe Google went to HTC and says this is what we want you build of else.... what do I care?
Stay on topic.
I am happy with the performance as is
When there are more apps written for the 64 bit Tegra it will smoke everything else...... I my own opinion

You are leaving out one important thing and that is that HTC is in no position of power, they are declining across the board. They need google more than Goole needs them so to think that google had no say in the hardware is absolutely asinine. HTC told Google we're making it like this or kick rocks....PLEASE! You proved my point in stating that it is a compromise, meaning google had to make a decision and they obviously did. I agree with that statement but you made it seem like htc tells google what they are doing point blank and google says yes HTC. HTC can't build the n9 without google signing off on the product as I'm sure you are aware of so google had the final say.
I'm done.
