would you still recommend the Nexus One?

A good friend is planning to upgrade from the G1 to the Nexus One very soon and is asking me if it still seems like a good idea.
He and I bought G1s within a month of its introduction the year before last (he urged me to get one in fact) and I became obsessed with modding it while he has been content with the normal (unrooted) OS and user interface. I jumped to Verizon to get on a family plan with my wife when the Droid came out, convinced it was the best Android hardware available, but when the Nexus One specs started showing up I started urging him to give it a serious look.
We both became convinced it was going to be a good upgrade for him (he's still on T-Mo) but started having some second thoughts after all the irregular 3G access and other issues started surfacing.
So the question is: Is the Nexus One still a no-brainer for an Android fan wanting to upgrade? Do you regret getting one?
Thanks for any input or advice you can offer!

For Android fan, i would say yes. its been 2 weeks and Google and HTC still havent solved ANY issues with Nexus, but my guess is that eventually they will. Its a great phone with good hardware, but there are lots of bugs in Nexus that I have not had in MyTouch 3G.

The Nexus One is awesome. I get 4 bars of 3G anywhere in Boston, so I think it all depends on the quality of the T-mobile network in your area. Personally, I've never noticed the 3G problem with the Nexus, but expect that to the extent that it does exist, it will be cleaned up with a firmware update.
If your friend is used to an open Android experience I think he'll have a tough time working in a more restricted environment like an I-phone. Maybe I've just become a fanboy though!

I am surrounded by purple (tmobile 3g) I live in Miami.
I have tested the nexus one with 1.6 android and noticed I had no problems connecting I was getting awesome speeds.
I personally think the issue is software based.
Overall i THINK THE NEXUS ONE is a great device and highly recommended. your friend will fall in love with the screen and speed of the phone.
Some minor setbacks but overall the phone is amazing. I switched from teh droid to the N1 im satisfied.

It is not a no brainer, but it is a worthwhile upgrade. Does your friend rely heavily on the hardware keyboard? If so you might hold out for a few more months and see if the rumored N2 with keyboard comes out.
If keyboard does not matter can he hold out for another month or is he really hankering for muffin. If he can hold out then this would give these initial jitters time to settle down and be corrected.
Overall I am very pleased with the N1. It is fast and definitely improves upon many points over the G1. On the other hand my N1 is currently on its way to HTC (dust bunny) so I am back to using my G1 for now. The screen real estate is probably the biggest thing I miss. The performance is not as good, but not so bad as to make lose my will to live.

You installed 1.6 on a nexus one? May I ask how/why?

thanks all for the replies so far

The hardware keyboard was a big reason I went with the Droid, but I was very disappointed for the first month with it since I was so used to the (sweet) keyboard on the G1 and also quite spoiled with Cyanogen's ROMs. When the Droid got root my aggravation subsided a great deal but I'm still slightly underwhelmed (my latest complaint is that the metallic edge around the (sweet) display is starting to chip a little, grr).
When I started using Swype on the Droid, I told my buddy that I no longer consider a hard keyboard to be a must on an Android phone. I love the way Swype works and would definitely switch to the better processor, improved RAM, etc. of the N1 even without the hard keyboard. I've got my fingers crossed that the Moto Shadow goes CDMA with a blazing chip at some point, but I might "settle" for an N1 when it comes to Vz.
Thanks all for the great comments!

I just recommended the Nexus to a friend at work today, so my answer is yes. I havent had any issues with mine, I love it, I have another line and my G1's on it but I dont think Ive used it more than twice since I got my Nexus the day it came out.

It's really a simply decision man... if he's more like us, a die-hard phone junkie, then he'll probably buy it no matter what you suggest. If he is willing to wait, he probably should. Hopefully in a few weeks the 3G and dust issues will be resolved.

In spite of all the issues, the answer is still HELL YEAH!
The 3G problem is SOFTWARE, and will be fixed by a System Update.

i would definitely do the same and recommend the Nexus One

The Nexus One is awesome & high style! Fast, 4 bars of 3G anywhere in LV, no 3G issues with the Nexus. Go for it and never look back

thanks all for the various replies. i'm the "friend" in the original poster's post.
i do not intend to root my Nexus One.
my concern stems from the seemingly total lack of customer support should one get a defective unit. my G1 is working ok now so i don't see the need to get stomach acid if indeed the Nexus One has a larger than typical defective rate.
one poster/reply wrote that they think that the 3G connectivity and dust issues should be remedied shortly. may i respectfully disagree regarding the dust issue? i DO agree that the 3G issue may well be solved soon via a software update, but i do not agree that the dust issue will be resolved anytime soon. Production lines cannot turn on a dime so quickly and the inventory that is being sold this coming week (this coming week, week of 1/25th, is when i intend to order my Nexus One if the good folks here recommends going forward with it) were produced at least 1-2 months ago in Asia.
What do y'all think, may i ask?
thx in advance for helping me out!

My phone works great in NY. 4 bars pretty much anywhere I go.
Rooted and loving. No problems that couldn't be fixed with a little search or flash.
Coming from having the G1 for the past year, I would definately recommend the N1.

This is an HTC phone... so the dust issue will most likely always be there. Having said that, this phone is fantastic. It's got some small bugs but the hardware is brand new and this phone is all Google and HTC so any updates should come pretty swiftly once they get rolling.
I'd recommend this phone to anyone who's looking for a thin, powerful, fast device. Things are only going to get better with Android, and this phone probably won't have a hard time keeping up.

It is an alternative keyboard. instead of typing the individual letters for a word you drag your finger from one letter to the next. It can be frustrating at times when the word you want does not appear but in general I think it is great. it is the keyboard I use as well on my N1.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRUoWUhcRlE
though they have improved it some since this demo was done.

Ive had the Nexus for over a week now and its far more faster and stable than other manufacturers phones when they come out i.e. Samsung / Nokia / Blackberry.
This thing is fast and quite stable.
GO FOR IT !!!!

If you don't plan on rooting, the N1 is still a great phone. I know quite a few people who have one and they love it. Most of them just use it with out tinkering.
The majority of the people here root their phones. Also, keep in mind this place is somewhat of an unofficial 'support' group. People come here looking for the advice of others if/when they have trouble. While possible, I don't think it's very likely that you would would end up with defective hardware in the first place. If you're not rooting, I doubt you would have very much trouble out of HTC getting a replacement if you somehow do.
The N1 is a badass phone, I <3 mine for everything it is and am recommending it to anyone who asks me what phone they should get.
my 2 cents...

Its a great phone, I love my N1. Well-built, excellent form factor, and as others have said, its FAST! If you do a lot of web browsing you'll appreciate the phone, not only does it load and just move quicker than the G1, the larger screen makes reading so much more pleasurable. Also, since you're unrooted, you may or may not get 2.1 on your G1. I like 2.1 alot, its a vast improvement over 1.6.
I will say though that I do miss the physical keyboard. If you don't do a lot of typing it won't matter so much I don't think.
But seriously, its a solid phone, recommended.

thining about getting the M

i have been eyeing the s3 for a while but have steered away from it due to build quality, and sheer size of the device.
i really like the smaller size of this phone, especially after seeing my girl with it for so long, and how convenient it has been for her. it seems to preform well even stock, as she is very timid towards rooting and romming.
my first question : would you guys suggest this phone?
i currently have a droid x2, and it has been interesting to say the least . i am looking for something dependable (which i know most motorola's are, even the dx2 was) as well as something that can perform. how is performance in your eyes?
one more thing, there is a successful method for unlocking the bootloader in the retail edition from what i have read..... is this the case? if so, do you guys see development for this device growing in the future? or does it seem to be dying down.?
thanks in advance, it seems like a pretty trusty little phone from what ive read.

yes you can unlock the bootloader, and development has been growing on this phone sense the unlock. i like my m it preforms well and the battery life is great.

Definitely recommended. Best android phone I've had yet

Agreed, the RAZR M ticks all my boxes. Has been an amazing phone love it.
Performance wise, its great. And there is a kernel to get it to 1998 MHz if you root. Development has just kept growing really as stated before.

I still love the phone even if it were stock (which its not) and I ALWAYS long for an upgrade 6 months after getting a phone.I have NO desire to replace it. The size is perfect, build quality outstanding, battery life great, performance good, it has almost the latest OS which for an android phone that's not a nexus is about as good as it gets. The one reservation I had about it and all Motorola phones was the locked bootloader but with that cracked and AOSP CM10.1 (4.2.2) I'm in love!. I just bought my wife a Titanium (Best Buy only) M in like new (no evidence of use) condition with case and sd card off eBay for $250 and honestly I want hers too lol. Got mine in the same condition in white off of eBay as well but for $350 which then was a great price for a like new M.
The one drawback is the smallish partion for apps on the internal SD card and as far as I can tell no easy or reliable apps to SD (I did it with one app which one day borked, wiped and destroyed my micro sd). This kind of kills this phone if your a mega gamer (mulitple games with 500+mb data will quickly wipe out internal space).

there is a bootloader unlock on this now. which makes it even more exciting, and maybe will produce that much more development.
i think it is an all around great phone from all of the research ive done. i just want to make sure the same X2 experience doesnt happen again. lol
another HUGE thing is that this phone is not huge. just when you thought phones would turn into tablets, the razr M comes along. hopefully it starts a trend in making them small again.
thanks for all the responses guys, i will be joioning the ranks in about two weeks. :good:

keep in mind that most development is CDMA (VZW) based, but there are "fixes" to make them work on GSM carriers.

yeah i am vzw. as much as it pains me to say it.

Definitely recommend the M. The battery life for me has been great. I do keep bluetooth and GPS off all the time, but my wife keeps both on and her phone will still go a couple days without charge. i used mine throughout the day, and as well as as a hotspot while storm chasing and it will easily go the whole day for me.

Selectel Wireless
Anyone using this phone on PagePlus, Straight Talk, or Selectel Wireless? I am thinking of ditching my S3 and USCC. Nothing but problems with reception.

This is a midrange device. I cannot recommend it. The only reason I got this is because my nexus shattered when I dropped it. I hate the keyboards lag on this phone, and pretty much lag all around. But I like that it is splashproof...
Other than that, low res screen, no tv-out, weird storage, etc.... good phone for my wife, but she's rockin s4....won't trade

i use it on net 10(att simcard), but i know there is a thread about flashing this to page plus you have to stay on ics for it to work if i remember correctly

Did we make the right choice?

I for one have been happy so far with my phone, but it has only been two days. I was going to hold out for the new Google Pixel phone and had been hoarding all the news I could find about it, but then the worst happened... A cracked screen on my faithful yet never able to root Note4. I have the best hookup at Verizon and choose to stay there so when I called him up and the best thing we could find was a $300 credit for my phone towards a Moto Z, I started my research and realized how amazing this phone looked on paper.
Two days in however, and I already have the feels lurking at my back. I tried a search for root on here and I'm unsure if it's possible and even worth the effort until tried and proven. I'm also missing the ease of plug and play headphones, I'm curious about the stuttering camera that's supposed to be amazing, and I'm questioning if there are any phones I should go to as I have 12 more days to do a return/exchange before I'm locked in.
I realize others have talked about similar subjects, I just want to know if this phone is going to be "future-proof" for the next two years, is it going to ever get more popular so as we can get sustained and confirmed root and better than just 2-3 roms? What's the future of this phone on XDA?

If you want a phone that any of this can be answered in 12 days then this is not the phone for you

This phone probably will not get root..But I bought for the mods ..I loved the projector..Unfortunately my 6p died yesterday. For no reason it just stopped working . Won't turn on and no bootloader mode plus no computer can recognize it. So when the pixel released I will be buying it ..

If it gets root, great, if not, no big deal for me. I had my note 4 for a looong time with no root. And when they finally did root it I didn't even bother anymore. As long as it works good as a phone I can always goof with launchers and widgets to customize/personalize.

This is big Red, this is a Verizon droid phone. No one should expect root and if that's a deal breaker this phone is not for you. If you want a headphone jack and don't want to use the dongle, this phone is not for you. If you want the fastest camera, this phone is not for you.
If you want a well made phone with excellent performance and good battery life, this phone may be for you. If you want a phone with a very good screen and an overall very good camera with good radios, this phone may be for you.

I don't understand DongleGate.
"I'm also missing the ease of plug and play headphones"
As opposed to the "hassle" of plugging the adapter to the end of your beloved headphones once, and then living the rest of your life as normal?

I'm happy with this phone. It's pretty darn fast and has a newer version of Android. The giant battery mod is sweet, and it has an SD card slot. I'm excited to see what other mods come out.
The only reason I ever rooted was to get free hotspot and newer versions of Android. This phone has free hotspot, and I'm willing to bet we'll get at least Android O. I had enough Bluetooth stuff around to make work.
This phone replaced the two phones I carried everywhere before. It was an adjustment, but I'm happy.

Will LIKELY upgrade to P10 Plus from the LG v20...

I'm the not-so-proud owner of the LG v20 dual SIM phone...and with it, 6 months on...it's STILL lacking a viable root option on 7.0 Nougat and there's not a SQUEAK of support on the development side coming from LG. So, I've turned to this new release. The P10 Plus looks quite attractive as a potential upgrade from me. Here's why, in my books:
- MIMO dual antenna is excellent for COVERAGE concerns/download speeds
- Retains a useful IR blaster (hooray, it's not dead on smartphones afterall!)
- LED notification status indicator/light (User manual page 4 indicates green, red and orange thus far...think I've also seen white)
Then you add the fact that it comes boxed with a case (or even without the cut diamond reduces fingerprints and is a nice feature); it is available in Dual SIM (and also B28 700Mhz frequency; important for me in Australia); it's no bigger than 5.5" - and while it 2K IPS, it more than makes up for the hefty 3750mAh battery drainer with a massive battery. That's enough to convince me to change.
But first things first - viable root. Who is getting this phone? Whats the liklihood, as Huawei did for the P9 Plus, to release the open source kernal for download? Who is going to attempt and develop root for it? If any owners are reading this, PLEASE post a video testing out the NFC and the notification lights (with lightflow, if possible) - that would be super helpful!

Haha. Thanks. I'll change the heading..

I'm also sitting here with a V20 and boy do I regret getting this phone.. Even though I have root and am able to flash a couple of custom ROMS availlble for my device, I'm still not one bit satisfied with this phone. GPS totally sucks! I'm being navigated to a location and all of the sudden I hear nothing because the app is "looking for GPS signal" and never locks in... This happens in both stock and custom (with updated GPS files)
I'm really attracted to the P10 Plus and am really considering in purchasing the phone. I don't think we'll know about dev until a little bit more time passes as this phone is still a little bit new.

I've come to the P10 Plus from the LG G6, which I REALLY didn't like, and I'm happy to confirm that it's a great device. Superb camera, really nice feel and design (I have the blue diamond cut version), and it's much smoother than the LG in handling tasks. Battery is ok, but I'm still in that new phone, constantly tweaking, phase, so I'll see what happens when I revert back to normal usage. I can definitely recommend getting one if you're on the fence about it.

Thank you! I really appreciate it your input!
Where did you purchase yours from? I'm in the USA, not too sure which version to purchase for full LTE speeds on AT&T hmm

I live and work in China, so not too hard for me to get hold of one here, lol - they're EVERYWHERE at the moment, big push for them before the S8 hits

I picked one up myself. I'm loving the camera, but i haven't made it my daily driver yet as i'm patiently waiting for a new rom and recovery. Almost went with OPPO but they are really locking down their devices.

How do you guys find battery life and standby?

Standby appears to be great. Battery... Not so much. BUT! I'm still in the honeymoon phase with phone, so it is getting used a lot. I'll post again in a few days when I have taught myself not to keep playing with it. The phone too

Love this p10 plus!

Surprising regional strategy by Huawei....as Samsung is as big as Apple here, yet their AUS region service people and marketing know nothing st all, so that's as good as not even existing. They need to start pushing in countries where LG is doing well, because there's people who will ditch their sh*tty brand and lack of dev support for their models in favour of this phone:

Yep! You and me both. Except YOU are enjoying root at the very least...you can't have DUAL SIM and root, so I'm looking to ditch this sooner rather than later.
Anyone able to post any videos of using NFC or the LED notification light? Want to see how either it is to detect and its brightness, etc.

any updates on battery life?

Im lookin at this phone also.. But I need some screen on time shots and battery usage to know how well it fares with the competition. Also how dev friendly is Huawei?? I've never used a Kirin soc before. I have not seen benches on it too. Anyone post any yet?
I had an S7 Edge Qualcomm but screen wanted to get a pink line down it so I sold it off. (I had lineage booting on it) Tried Dual sim LG V20 for a few days.. absolutely hated that phone. So I'm shopping around trying to find my next phone I want to bring Lineage to.

Seems Huawei forums are dead on here until months after release. I wonder how hard it is to employ someone, part time, as a social media marketing expert who jumps on these places, lends their time every so often and PROMOTES their product, PUSHES it to people, COMPARES against the competition. Rather than just waiting for people to spend big dollars to get their hands on it, dislike it (if they do, for whatever reason), and then sell it? There's just no useful information that can be obtained on here yet...

I'm confused. Yes I know it's time to upgrade but the One still works good. How does it feel to move from One to 6T?
I was actually planning for 7T. haha

First impression: this phone is huge haha. Also smooth as butter. I'm actually coming from the essential phone and the touch responsiveness pales in comparison to the 6T

Cool yeah I want the biggest screen I can get but still fit in the back pocket of Levi's I watch a lot of Netflix on my phone. How's the screen brightness outside.

I'll go the same route but I'll keep my OPO to play around with and as an emergency phone. What do they to with traded in phones anyways? I can't imagine anything but them going right into the shredder. What a waste that would be.

Yep ordered from tmobile 6t getting it Monday and sending in the bacon for the credit, will have to figure out the unlocking of sim and then bootloader after I get it in my hands. hearing alot of misinformation or I should say conflicting information on getting it unlocked, but I am not too worried,I am confident it will all work out fine just might take some time to get into some good development and unlocked until paid off it is sounding like from what I have heard. If I have to live with a locked bootloader for a little bit, I will survive.

just got mine , it is SMOOTH , brightness outside is good you have to adjust it though, still playing around with it , btw i unlocked the bootloader waiting on TWRP so i can root it now. But the stock OS is really smooth and snappy so i really doubt that i would be putting another rom on this for some time.

Planned to buy 3...then 3T...5...5T...now planning to buy 7... but ... OPO still works perfectly for me. Almost bought Poco F1 TBH, but I think I gonna upgrade when OPO dies or battery could not hold more than one day.

I also bought 6T after using One for more than 4 years. Battery is only complaint for me in One. Will keep One for sometime

I'm curious - Compared to the One, how are the speakers on the 6T? Are they louder? Or the same?

Wish I could change my OPO to 6T

I've been thinking about buying a new Oneplus phone. But ever since Oneplus became developer unfriendly I decided to fix my Oneplus One and keep it for a while. Since the 6 and 6T devices have both A/B partitions, they probably will not get any official support from LineageOS for an indefinite period of time. For me a reason to look for another manufacturer. In my opinion, Oneplus is doing everything possible to move away from its developer-friendly image.

Coming from a OPO as well. It was still smooth. But the battery life was just unable to take me through a regular day of usage without having to really either keep my phone on a power bank, or having to really try to have my phone on the lowest possible brightness, try to stay in WiFi areas, keep vibration off, and always monitor my background apps.
SOT was about 3 hours with Android 7. But when I updated to 8.0 it dropped to 2ish. Camera quality for some reason started to decline compared to how it once was. I don't even know why that happened.
It's only costing me 11 bucks a month so why not?

I feel and act exactly the same, good old OPO with pie rom still working perfect for me

To whose who updated what are your feelings about 6t not having a notification LED and about the notch reducing status bar space?
