They could, and should think about doing a light halo around the trackpad like around the button on the touch pro... (obviously it should be a RGB one, not just plain white leds)

Even better let it have segments (like an xbox...)

HTC... gimme a job!
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Oh yeah, I also forgot the soft button weirdness on the N1. I've always found that it works better to tap above the white labels than directly on them. Hopefully the G2 has this fixed.

Where do you get the Blinker app?

http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=blinker -- No "Blinker" app exists?

Just a random question: what are you using in the meantime? I'd be :eek: without an Android phone.

Well, take a look at the G2's back and wow-wow-wow. That brushed aluminum is downright beautiful. Picture here: http://www.engadget.com/photos/t-mobile-g2-preview-hands-on/#3410970

Ah, thanks :)

There definitely will be better devices around the corner, which is what kills me. However, how many of them will have Stock Android *and* get the massive community support that the G2 will get (especially since Cyanogen is literally purchasing one himself)?

What will the non subsidized price be?
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
One of the cool thing that the G2 might have over the N1 is a dedicated app by T-Mobile to make calls over Wifi without using your cell minutes:

[Nexus One General] norazi:
For the trackball notification.. Most newer phones these days have some sort of notification led, you don’t need to have a trackball to have notifications. Even the non multicolored ones can eventually be hacked to blink a certain way (ie like the hdd light on hacked dell mini9’s that just makes the charge light blink).

I also think that the N1 getting updates first is over-rated since most people wait for a proper ROM (ie cyanogen) release anyways... Usually its only the devs and the people who don’t really care that use the pure vanilla OTAs. Yes some android phones like the samsungs are a little harder to root and have a lacking dev community. But id argue to say that the droids and most HTC phones are nearly the same as the N1 when it comes to mods and their 3rd party ROM updates come usually within weeks of an N1 only release.

The only thing I want on my N1 right now is a better multitouch panel and an updated GPU.

Currently, I don’t think the G2 is a worthy upgrade from an N1 unless you need the qwerty. The internals just arn’t beefy enough to warrant an upgrade. I personally would wait until somwthing with a 1.2ghz+ or dual core cpu replacement comes out with SLCD/SAMOLED. If I didn’t already have the N1 right now, I would probably be looking at the G2 pretty hard though.
[Nexus One General] wondercoolguy:
@norazi

I agree all the G2 buyers are going to get buyers remorse around Nov/Dec when the holiday season hits and the dual cores come out. You have to look at the G2 and say with 800mhz etc will this phone last me 2 YEARS. The answer is No, in 6 months you'll be looking to replace it. With monster phones around the corner the g2 resale value will drop fast, so it wont counter the full price you'll have to pay for the new phone or to kill the contract if you want to jump from TMO. IMO the keyboard to this phone is terrible, I still say that the G1 has the best keyboard layout. The spacing and the rows were perfect.
[Nexus One General] ericc191:
I'll be stuck using a 200MHz HTC Wizard. This thing has been tough, though. From a new usb replacement, to be dropped in water on multiple occasions, to being thrown across a parking lot(very angry gf lol).. and yet it still keeps going.

It really depends. I am someone who upgrades phones often. If and when I start to feel that the G2 can no longer keep up with the competition, I'll simply sell it and buy another phone. It's really that simple. No remorse here. The Nexus One lasted me 8 months. N1's an awesome phone, though, and still stands toe to toe with just about anything currently on the market.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Ah, thanks! No wonder I couldn't find it haha. Well that's good; hopefully this can get ported to the G2 and other phones.

I think $500 exactly.

That's amazing. Free minutes forever haha. Though I'm still using myFaves with Google Voice so all my calls are already free :D

-------------------------

@norazi/wondercoolguy:

Yup, that's exactly why I'm hesitating, doh. There's always something better on the horizon.

But... I still really really want it. :) I mean, for one thing, every time I load up an embedded flash video (like on Engadget) and it stutters like a crappy slideshow, I just shake my head in disgust. Blech.

And like ericc191 said, you can always resell; it's very easy with GSM phones. Luckily I keep my phones in pretty good condition and take good care of them.
[Nexus One General] xzr3b0rnzx:
Waste of money I think.. n1 is a very expensive phone.. I paid 900+sgd for it most expensive phone I bought ..

Even though g2 has got the new improved processor and gpu.

I think n1 will still be able to keep up for 1 more year imo..
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
I echo many of the same pros and cons in my own decision-making process. I was VERY tempted to preorder the G2 for the full price. Here's why I didn't. We know that AT LEAST one more HSPA+ Android handset is coming to T-mobile in the near future. There could be even more in coming months. If you're going to have to pay full price no matter what, then why not wait 2-3 months and see what else comes out, or is announced for the end of the year? I have a strong feeling that a 4"+ HSPA+ device will be coming soon... when we know what manufacturer will make it, then we'll know whether we will get stock Android on it or not (even if via developers).

Quick ??

Does the g2 have an hdmi out?

Is there going to be a desktop dock for it?

I Need 2 yes(s) to be a worthy upgrade from my nexi
[Nexus One General] wondercoolguy:
If thats what you do thats what you do. I just don't want to get caught up in the upgrade game. I know that when dual cores come out that quad cores are around the corner and so on and so forth. I want to buy a product with the intentions of being able to keep it for two years. It seems to me to those who are buying the g2 will be looking forward a lot faster than most. When the N2 comes out (lol) its gonna be a monster phone!
[Nexus One General] mrbkkt1:
I'd actually wait, for a few reviews, before commiting to the G2. as for HSPDA+... I don't see any difference, even though we've "had" it for a while here in Honolulu.
[Nexus One General] ecash:
I'm going to wait, for two reasons:

A) There will be better phones out by Christmas

B) The N1 developer support will keep it going for much, much longer. For a reference see the G1, it's still going strong after all this time!

Personally I get "new phone envy" just as badly as the rest of us, but I'm not replacing my N1 until there is a phone that makes it look as outdated as it made the G1 look. I'm talking: 4+ inch screen, GSM, HSPA+, Super AMOLED screen (I don't care about the battery hit that much), stock Android, at least 1.5 GHz dual-core, superior graphics chip, and iPhone 4-quality camera sensors.
[Nexus One General] mingkee:
I'd stick with nexus one because no tethering support on G2 totally destroyed the phone.

The next phone will never, ever purchase from T-Mobile.
[Nexus One General] cam_hamlin:
I own a N1 and I'm still getting a G2...in my opinion just use both...if u can afford it

People are reporting PDANet works on their G2s. Just so you know. Also, root will solve it easily.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Amazing!!! Holy SH:eek:T!!!

No HDMI out (good point, added to OP) and no desktop dock yet, but if there is, it will be announced later on.
[Nexus One General] adambenjamin:
I was planning on moving to the G2, and even posted an ad for one. Recently though, there have been a few complaints about the phone. The first is that many phones are arriving with lose hinges that do not keep closed when the phone is held at certain angles. The second issue reported has been that some* (or maybe all) G2's have been showing up with only 2GB internal memory instead of 4GB.

Has anyone heard about these issues? It has convinced me to at least wait a few weeks before I make the switch.
[Nexus One General] mingkee:
How about mobile hotspot and unlock the bootloader (in order to load DZ ROM)?

I think I have to wait till both mentioned above are done.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
No ones validated the memory, and I wouldn't say "many" phones had loose hinges..it's only been a few as far as I've read.

Just read about the mytouch HD. Now that phone looks interesting with the front facing camera too.
[Nexus One General] mark925:
Well...I did it. I took the plunge and got a G2 a couple hours ago, which will happily sit alongside my Nexus One.

Loving the speed so far on it! One thing I have also noticed is the GPS seems to be MUCH better on it compared to the N1. Seems as though the typing with the stock keyboard (Swype I guess?) is actually pretty darn good but I realized how much I missed having an actual phsyical keyboard (I could type like a madman on the G1).

I was a little hesitant at first but am becoming quite happy with the purchase. We'll see how it all pans out in the next few days with some real world use.
[Nexus One General] tonyfate:
I have both

I have both devices! I love my Nexus One! I can't let that go! But the G2, oh man, smooth! Very smooth! Everything just feels right on it! Besides the hinges. It's fine now.. but give 6 or 7 months and it won't be that great after.. I can already feel it! I say if you have a N1 one now.. and got some extra cash laying around, grab a G2.. if not.. then stick with the N1!!!
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
I am on the fence too about getting the G2 as a backup for my N1. I played with the G2 in the tmobile store today and it is a nice phone but I didn't have the "I gotta have it!" feeling. It really is a N1 with a keyboard. I was surprised that I liked how the optical track pad. I'm going to fight the urge and wait for the 1.3ghz+ processors or dual core processors. I don't think the N1 will start to depreciate too much for a little while longer.

Anyone want to buy my ADP1?
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
PDAnet will cover you until the phone's rooted man.

On another note, I was in the mall today and happened by a T-mobile kiosk. The sole salesperson there insisted that the MyTouch Slide was a better device than the G2 because the G2 was "plain Android", it looked liked one of Verizon's Droids (wtf?), and it didn't have the theme customization of the "amazing Espresso UI". He had no idea about the processor/gpu or the internal storage. I was actually a little disgusted by his lack of knowledge, but just laughed and walked away, shaking my head. If that's the sort that T-mobile is employing to sell their phones, then they've got problems.
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
Glad your still here Paul and wasn't too tempted by the G2 next door ;)

I went to the store to check it out myself and wasn't too impressed (which is almost always the case for me, get white hot with wanting a new device but once I see it in person its not so great anymore). Hate the way you have to push to open the keyboard.

Hopefully T-mobile u.s.a. can snag the Desire HD when it comes to the states to handle your 4.3' screen request.

Wow, that's awful.

Long live the Nexus One.

I'm scared to think there will never be another Android phone that's fully unlocked as the Nexus One.

For example... Will there ever be another stock Android phone that actually HAS tethering enabled like the Nexus One does?

Scary what the carriers are doing...
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Relax... it's an overblown issue. Our devs will handle it.
[Nexus One General] krabman:
I'm one of the people that believe google is not quite out of the game. While I dont believe they will go to an N2 with the previous market scheme I do believe that probably right now they are in the planning stages of a new developer phone. They will need it as the N1 is still viable but will soon be showing its age. Seems like a no brainer to me. Who do they collaborate with? Good question, my money would be on htc and best buy. You read that right. Its a good way to try and develop a market for (carrier) unbranded phones that fixes one of the chief issues they had with sales, the inability of folks to be able to fondle the device before they purchased.

A fantasy? Maybe so but as long as nothing new catches my eye I can hope.

The best advice I can give you is to go into the themes and apps section and read read read......

There are mods out there for anything you could possibly want to do to your phone.....

Unfortuneately for the new user it may seem a bit daunting at first however through searching the forums and asking (if you cant find your answer anywhere) you should be fine......

If you havent already got it I think the first thing you should do is install CHT (Cookies Home Tab)..... It completely opens up the way in which you can modify the sense interface......

That should keep you busy for the rest of the night anyway......

[Epic 4G General] hotwired34:
Just out of curiosity, does anyone have a 'story' of how they got their Epic (or EVO) discounted more than the basic mail-in rebate?

I have been a Sprint customer for years and have never really done any haggling to get freebies or discounts. I am not in contract with Sprint and have not been for years. I called and asked about other incentives that Sprint could offer to get me back into contract with them. I felt that giving me (a 10 year loyal customer) the same discounts as a new customer was not really showing me any appreciation as a customer. They offered me an additional $70 contract renewal credit and to purchase back my old phone ($35 for a Touch Pro - not going to do that, though, it is worth more on eBay). While the additional $105 discount is great, I wonder if anyone else has had any other discounts added.

My brother swears to me that he was able to get Sprint to give him 2 EVOs for $75. I asked him how he did it and he just told them that he was going to go to another carrier. I tried that and they sent me right to the account cancellation department!

Hi,

I am using brut maps and when I choose contacts for destination it does nothing. I have removed the standard contacts application and am using phonebook2
[Fascinate General] DoyleChris:
I have had the Fascinate now for about 2 weeks and love it. First time on the android operating system and getting used to it. I have had windows mobile before.

The question i got is the Car Cradle Application on android 2.1 that comes on the phone is nice since me and the wife travel alot, but what gets me is that the navigation button in the middle of the screen goes to VZNavigator. I ave google maps installed and trying to find Nav & Go to install on it but i would like to change the button on the car cradle to go to google maps or another navigation app besides VZNavigator any idead how to do that.
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
Yup. Root, uninstall vz navigator, Bing, and it will default to Google maps

they call me...kick ass
[Fascinate General] je2345:
hmm...so I did what you said and my car cradle app FC's whenever I select View Map, Voice Search, and Navigation. How did you get yours to work? I have uninstalled VZNav and bing.
[Fascinate General] fascination:
The app still looks for vzw navigator and bing which is why it FC's. Take a CarDock.apk file out of a deodexed 2.1 ese81 build and move it to system/app/ with root explorer. This will give you google car dock. The only glitch I have found is it FC's when you click the contacts button but all the Google stuff works.
[Fascinate General] DeezNotes:
I use this one: http://www.appbrain.com/app/car-dock-v2/net.cwfk.ig88.carhome
[Fascinate General] scottishwarrior:
This app was posted in the vibrant section a while back. It's a samsung app that someone downloaded from the market. I installed google maps prior to installing this and then renamed cardock.apk in the system/apps folder. Install the file and you will another version of the car dock. It looks the same except it doesn't have the home button. The maps and navigation buttons link to google maps. The voice search opens google search. The contacts button opens contacts just like the original dock. The regular search button opens bing in the browser.
