[Galaxy Tab General] Volker1:
I'm pretty sure you don't need a SIM card with service attached. Any old sim card should work. Probably must be a T-mobile one since its sim locked; otherwise it'll probably ask for a PIN but not accept any input (at least thats what I got with sim-locked phones previously).

Signing up for any plan is still a contract in my book...

You forgot to mention an extra 35.- activation fee charged to your first cell phone bill.
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
so would a prepayed SIM work? the i can just connect via wifi at home or via my vibrant... nothing in regards to an activation fee i have the paperwork i signed and there is nothing mentioned about it.
[Galaxy Tab General] Volker1:
Prepaid SIM would probably work.

The t-mobile.com checkout process slaps you with a 35.- activation fee at the end. Its possible that you got it waved somehow at the t-mobile store. But I wouldn't be surprised if you find it on your cell phone bill in a month :mad:
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
lol you are right i was going to be charged an activation fee but they waived it and i canceled my data plan, and i can use the tab with no sim card at all just remove it and just use it via wifi, tried it with my vibrant and it works no issues.... now let the rooting and flashing begin..lol!!!
[Galaxy Tab General] papi92:
Well I called Verizon and they connected me to a guy from Samsung. I'm getting just the WiFi tablet :))) great day for me
[Galaxy Tab General] Volker1:
I thought the WiFi-only tab is delayed until Jan 2011?
[Galaxy Tab General] papi92:
I'll show a picture Monday if my mom let's me have it. Hahah its a Christmas gift but I'm sure ill persuad her
[Galaxy Tab General] Jyveafk:
I got a pay as you go sim for 10 bucks so I'd not be faffing moving my card between my existing phone and the tab.

Working fine.

They tried to push me to sign up for a contract, but I held to my guns and turned to walk out. All good in the end.
[Galaxy Tab General] deafjam:
I can confirm, I got my tab on day 1 with t mobile and they hooked me up with a $10 prepaid sim for data. 3g works.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neutron619sd:
im trying to flash the new cm6.1.

i have it on my sd card i whiped then installed

but i keep gettin this error

failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img"."boot")

E:Error in /sd/card/update-cm-6.1.0-RC1-Supersonic-signed.zip

(stauts 7)

Installation aborted.

i tried redownloading the rom but i still get the same error any ideas of what it could be?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrapkgb:
Just making sure but when you say you wiped, you wiped data, cache and dalvik prior? Did you check the MD5 sum on the zip to confirm you didn't get a couple bad downloads?

I flashed it a few days ago with no probs.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrapkgb:
After reading around a bit I'm guessing you have hboot 2.02 and software version 3.30xxxx? It seems that many people are experiencing the same thing you are on a variety of different roms.... I haven't seen anyone post a cause for this or a solution but I'm guessing it has to do with the upgraded hboot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neutron619sd:
yes i do have hboot 2.02 im not sure where i find which software i have but the radio is 2.15.00.07.28

i also did check the zip everything is there and nothing is corrupted

so confused with flashing this evo when i did the g1 everything went smooth
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdh10475:
I'm having the exact same issue I can flash 6.0 but not 6.1. Itred to flash 6.1 through ROM manager and it put me into an enternal boot loop. I will check back and see if any one has an answer why. My hboot is 76.200.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opusteni:

[Epic 4G General] curving_edge:
Hello to all!

I have been checking out some of ebay's accessories for the Samsung Epic. I have been looking at extra batteries, seperate charger, and cases for the phone.

Have you bought any item you would recommend off Ebay? What are your experiences with some of the items you won?

OEM > NOT NAMED BRAND?
[Epic 4G General] humdrum2009:
Just purchased

Just purchased 2 batteries from eforcity's ebay store.

5 bucks each battery with free shipping and they ship super fast .

I will have them today or Saturday and let-you know how they work out.:)
[Epic 4G General] curving_edge:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/11/this-is-the-nexus-s/

ITS HERE!!
[Nexus One General] cangri87:
Wow

im in love,,, i WANT IT, I NEED IT!!!

*****, MONEY, NEXUS S

is gonna be my life style now.. :cool:
[Nexus One General] gaspriceskill:
Wow. All I can say. I hope this is good...
[Nexus One General] Hollow.Droid:
Front facing camera, nice :)

I hope there are some capacitative buttons at the bottom, love those on my N1.
[Nexus One General] mr.r9:
Hmmmm....Back cover seems to be plastic like the Galaxy S. So build quality is **** compared to the N1/Desire. Hope it has a few surprises to make up for that.
[Nexus One General] GuestK00133:
hmm, looks cheap vs. N1, too glossy and plastic imo:(
[Nexus One General] SuxenNeo:
Nexus One looks better.

Spec wise this is better though.
[Nexus One General] -A-P-M-:
Finally something we can wait for :cool: My next phone for sure
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Looks cheap n nasty :(
[Nexus One General] diegoveloper:
too much plastic :(
[Nexus One General] kaiser_tytnii:
100% agree with you...:(
[Nexus One General] AbsoluteDesignz:
I'm disappointed by the plastic...Nexus One is staying with me for another year or so it seems...
[Nexus One General] leyvatron:
Specs???????
[Nexus One General] Axefield:
Most likely Vibrant with Gingerbread and flash?
[Nexus One General] chris6278:
I will NOT be getting this. I am absolutely disappointed that the next nexus is a effin samsung. I just hope htc will release another true nexus in the future. Until then ill stick with the n1 which looks better than that POS
[Nexus One General] th0r615:
I'm in the market for a new phone (n1 has a broken screen)... this is tempting for sure. Waiting to hear more about specs and if we are going to see one on AT&T bands..
[Nexus One General] dogiedogie:
Am I right in thinking that the Tmobile US bands are the same as a majoritory of the UK bands?
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
HTC probably said : lol we're not dealing with more unlocked bootloader replacements.
[Nexus One General] smachine:
Superamoled + better multitouch isnt enough for me to give up my N1. Solid build and design trump both of those features for me.
[Nexus One General] minotauri:
looks nice. i have a G2 now though... hmmm
[Nexus One General] AndyClough:
Totally agree Rusty! I have only ever had one Samsung phone, that was a POS and vowed never to have another.
[Nexus One General] Spacefish:
Looks rly cheap.. I would like to have a N2 with true Multitouch, the same design as N1 but which resists water (underwater >=100m) and survive shock (like dropping it from the 2nd floor). This can be build!! they just have to use a display that is build on a polymeersheet instead of on a glasplate. The powerpack has to be secured in a solid frame which is really tight connected with the outer body.
[Nexus One General] redmongoose:
Nasty.

What a shame. Desire HD would have been a much better Nexus 2
[Nexus One General] smachine:
Read the engadget article and some people pointed out that the box translates to Nexus 2.
[Nexus One General] ghlu:
Looks pretty similar to my Epic....totally not worth upgrading from nexus one if you ask me.
[Nexus One General] nexus14:
-KANYE west
[Nexus One General] infazz:
damnit... looks like f*cking nokia :D

samsung MUST kill the designer :)
[Nexus One General] :
They should have followed the captivate stylings instead of the the vibrants.
[Nexus One General] herrwinkler:
Aren't most sequels bad? This one is just plain ugly.
[Nexus One General] damanrico:
'meh' is the only thing I wanted to say but I had to type more words cause of 10chars so I decided to make a sentence out of it.
[Nexus One General] androidjedi:
i concur looks like f*cking ****e
[Nexus One General] ranova:
its just the Galaxy S with 2.3 on it, heh. Samsung got lazy in designing this. It still looks like a cheap iPhone 3G...

Google, why did you approve this design?

Sure hope the GPS works at least.....
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
Wow this sucks monkey balls. I'm keeping my N1 for another year and hoping Google pulls their head out and makes something worthy of the Nexus name next year.

I could never be proud to pull that thing out of my pocket. Specs are a great thing to have but to be a NEXUS, it must have specs AND build quality.

This thing looks like it was made for people too late to the N1 party.
[Nexus One General] chromiumcloud:
I agree with both of these.

And am even more disappointed if 2.3 looks the same as 2.2

I mean WTF google. Let's hope this is all some sort of sad joke, but the fact that it is google employees posting pics with this phone leads me to believe otherwise. I hope at least 2.3 is going to be better than the photos because thus far the phone has been a let down.
[Nexus One General] mingkee:
Nexus S will be my next phone and Nexus One has successor now!
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
They don't seem to realize what they are asking us to give up for better specs. Build quality is a HUGE thing to folks like us who bought the original N1. Not only that but they also want us to give up colored trackball alerts. I'm a specs whore like everyone else but I'm not a total slut either.

Someone at Google fumbled this big time.
[Nexus One General] denimjunkie82:
That might not be the final version of the back cover, since the Google and Samsung logos don't have trademark stamps.

Just saying...we can still hope.
[Nexus One General] bradsh1:
Ugly. Cheap looking. No trackball color notification. Probably still a garbage camera.

Honestly, if you want me to buy a new nexus phone, make it have:

1. A camera as good as iPhone 4

2. Video with audio quality as good as iPhone 4

Stop pumping out garbage phones... who cares about cpu specs when the N1 is perfectly fluid as it is?
[Nexus One General] gibosn6594:
I don't know, I have a hard time believing that this is the successor of the Nexus One. Maybe they are starting a Nexus line, like they did with Droid. There should be a Nexus 2.
[Nexus One General] Fresh & Minty:
Ewww, it looks like fisher price made a rock.....
[Nexus One General] espeanage:
There will be a huge aftermarket for back panel accessory replacements for sure. A metal back panel perhaps? ;)
[Nexus One General] android53:
What's with all the hate for the galaxy s line? The build quality is actually pretty good, its not as solid sure, but its shock absorbant and doesn't feel like a brick, like htc phones do.

Its two extremes, both have their pro's/cons. Stick either in a case and it makes no difference. It makes me laugh when I see people with iphone 4's in a case and you can't even tell its not a 3gs, even with the so called "retina display", what a waste of all that glass!

Also the camera is of iphone 4 levels (more or less), audio recording quality is bad I agree though.
[Nexus One General] Zephyron:
If this truely is the new nexus phone... im disappointed. All it seems to be is a cheap body imitation of an iphone 3gs
[Nexus One General] paulshields:
Hmmm... no doubt it'll have great features, but looks a lot like the Galaxy S to me. I've used the S and the Nexus One and build-wise the Samsung doesn't compare. Hopefully Google will get HTC on board for the Nexus Three around the time I'm looking to upgrade my N1 :).
[Nexus One General] DKYang:
Don't bother explaining, it won't go into their heads. Most of these people probably never had a galaxy s phone for longer than 5 minutes to know the build quality.
[Nexus One General] Chad_Petree:
agree wih everyone here, the screen bezel is WAY too big, no painted capacitive keys, the back cover is horrible , the phone itself its too rounded , how could google approve this build quality? and im even more dissapointed by gingerbread , green icons and a black notification bar? really? thats it ?:mad:
[Nexus One General] paulshields:
I've used the S for a lot longer than 5 minutes, and the build quality doesn't improve over time compared to the N1. No offence, but they aren't comparable in that sense. I do think the S is excellent with regards to features and performance, and they can be very cheap if you're on a contract. Still doesn't compare to the N1's solidity of design and build.
[Nexus One General] Axefield:
I can confirm this.

I just sold my Galaxy S after 5 months of use. Now I have Nexus One and really the only thing that I miss is the SAMOLED display, nothing else.
[Nexus One General] elmerendeiro:
2011

500+ € phone

GLOSSY PLASTIC?

SERIOUSLY GOOGLE????
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
Galaxy S phone is pretty light and durable. It might look and feel a bit cheap but there are positives in the design. Its actually more durable then Nexus One. And there is really no need to worry about scratches and dents since the whole back cover is cheap and replaceable to anything you like..... < and before you start flaming, I have both since they were released.
[Nexus One General] paulshields:
Looking at those pics on engadget, the back cover looks a bit odd with the Google logo looking like it's surrounded by some black tape, and (unlike on the N1) there's no ™ after the name. Hoping it's a fake...
[Nexus One General] rori~:
I got a case, haven´t seen the back of my N1 for a couple of months now :p

The next phone will get a case too..so I dont care.

Specs are important.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
I thought it was a reflection round the Google logo?

Also, no sign of a noise cancelling mic
[Nexus One General] Segnaro:
That's what I'm saying. :D

It doesn't matter what its made out of, because it's gonna feel like polycarbonate and silicon after I put a case on it.
[Nexus One General] elmerendeiro:
There is people who cares about design and doesn't want to put a case on, good build quality is the way to go
[Nexus One General] paulshields:
Yeah, could just be a reflection. The absence of the TM seems a bit off to me though. In comparison the Galaxy S and the Desire both have TM after the Google name. Seems odd for it not to be there on this one.
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
thats another point, Galaxy S doesnt really need a case because back cover is flexible plastic which will not break on impact
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Does look cheapo vs. Nexus One and too glossy + plastic :eek: Where's HTC when you need them...
[Nexus One General] bfspider:
ugh... not HTC :(
[Nexus One General] rori~:
Noone knows yet..

About design, ok, we can discuss this...
[Nexus One General] worker1:
It looks good to me.

I'm not sure about the outside strip on the front edge, though.
[Nexus One General] gibosn6594:
A hoax?

http://androidandme.com/2010/11/news/why-are-the-engadget-nexus-s-pics-photoshopped/
[Nexus One General] elmerendeiro:
This nexus s really feels like it has been created in hurry, no ground breaking specs and no design research...plus the "nexus" naming isn't confirmed yed...

So i bet this isn't the nexus one follow up...just another developer phone
[Nexus One General] blasian shadows:
Hahaha that was epic. +1
[Nexus One General] zipredictive:
...well.... It's fugly, plastic cheap....

& faik... hoax... and... they forgot

™

this is my opinion...

guys watch the N1... this "thing" cant be a nexus...
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
Your avatar aligns nicely with your comments =)
[Nexus One General] ale0crysis:
Plastic? Glossy? Lol wtf are those bullshits?

Have you ever had a Galaxy S on your hand? Can't be compared to the Nexus One because the last one seems to be a stupid toy, just wait to see the power and the elegance he has.

It's not only Gingerbread the difference from your old GE device

Super Amoled, awesome battery use, 1 Ghz dual-core ARM Cortex A9 Orion, Best GPU ever seen on a smartphone, Full HD 1080p videos 30 FPS, flashled, frontal camera, more ram/memory/gb, better audio, better photocamera 5 mpixel.

Pls stop trolling :D
[Nexus One General] rori~:
ok, I´m leavin this thread..waiting for next nightly :)
[Nexus One General] elmerendeiro:
I think 99% it will have the hummingbird, no dual core
[Nexus One General] :
That's the stupidest article I've ever seen trying to prove something.

Logo printing is not that big of a deal on production lines. Change the screen and your set.

These are pre production products that google's lawyer team isn't going to demand every tm/C/R appear where it needs to be.
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
Well, for many of us our next Nexus will be the good ol' Nexus One with 2.3 flashed from this very forum.

I'll call it GingerNexus or Nexus G.
[Nexus One General] charnsingh_online:
See my last tweets. Its most probably not a dev phone. Just a name being exploited by Samsung. Google doesn't own nexus brand name. Its owned by some other company. They are just using the name
[Nexus One General] :
You think it orion that was just recently displayed taking up half a display table is tightly packed into the galaxy S?
[Nexus One General] elmerendeiro:
Agree and subscribe
[Nexus One General] ale0crysis:
I hope it will not be like you think

Nexus One = Desire

Galaxy S = Nexus S

it's not possible

You forget BEST BUY revealing page of the spec , and i know Best Buy is too important and good buyer to write bullshits/rumors ONLY........

and watch this http://yfrog.com/n5s1gtj
[Nexus One General] zipredictive:
it's a htc vs samsung... android vs android...

no trolling here lol

anyway... hardware will be better.... (obvious right?)

Beauty? ... well... it's personal... right?

you like it I dont! :p

so... any answer about the fact that there is no tm?
[Nexus One General] :
No HSPA+?

That's lame.

..what?
[Nexus One General] charnsingh_online:
That best buy page by phandroid made me sure nexus s wasn't a dev phone. Wat company do u work for

Samsung Google Nexus S is not a DEV phone? lol
[Nexus One General] :
I don't think anyone believes this is a dev phone.

The n1 techinally wasn't a dev phone until months after it's release.
[Nexus One General] charnsingh_online:
Nexus one was announced by Google at an event n so was g1 n ion n so should be the next phone supported by Google aka Dev phone
[Nexus One General] ale0crysis:
In fact today , is the day....11 November for Google Conference but someone want make rumors first... strange huh? Just Today all this coincidence? it's not a coincidence...Samsung announced 3 days ago the Continuum,...it's just the truth, Samsung Google Nexus S is the new Nexus One, believe it!:rolleyes:
[Nexus One General] zipredictive:
what about this?

my n1 has the trademark logo... so I put it for you guys

ehi ehi ehi wait...I know!! Im not a PS user... I just play with it sometimes
[Nexus One General] ale0crysis:
lulz, i remember first pics of the first device Google prototype has only Google signed without TM, you are following a ****ty news fake from a amateur no sense site...lol
[Nexus One General] :
Your point being....?
[Nexus One General] charnsingh_online:
The first leaked pics of n1 never had a Google logo http://pastebin.com/8aPMyDuC http://phandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/NexusSSpecs.jpg compare the brand name on these 2
[Nexus One General] zipredictive:
eheheeh lol...

Didnt know about the prototype!

Well... you know Im just playing... rumors... images... pictures... videos...

truth... false.... we heard everything in the last days....

so gotta go to bed now! have a good night guys!
[Nexus One General] ale0crysis:
Even the packaging is ready....

I think you have to believe it , come on, it's just an awesome best incredible smartphone ever created rulez over the world lulz

(it's ready since 1 month!!!) iT WILL BE SOLD ON NEXT WEEK

HOLYYYY ****TTTT :eek:

Remember all Engadget Pics have been made 1 month ago!!! This device has been secret, NDA marketing/project since 1 month!!!
[Nexus One General] zipredictive:
well... I think everyone will agree with this:

Android makes the difference :)
[Nexus One General] :
The first leaked pics of n1 actually didn't have google anywhere on the physical device.

Hell, the prototype sent for fcc testing had a more prominent HTC logo than a google logo.
[Nexus One General] ale0crysis:
Android is da powah.
[Nexus One General] vegetaleb:
What an ugly piece of caoutchouk :eek:

Remembers me of cheap primitive nokias.

Isn't a stereo speaker at the back?
[Nexus One General] charnsingh_online:
Even the colour of Google n Samsung logo are different n they are out of line
[Nexus One General] Mactagonist:
I cant say it is good looking, I cant say I like the non painted capacitive buttons and I cant say that I am happy about the loss of trackball notifications.

I am happy about the slightly larger, better quality screen. I am VERY happy that it will have newer, better multitouch.

I want to know if it will feature the multiple microphone noise cancelation system from the N1, iPhone 4, Droid X et al. I want to know about internal storage and the quality of the 5MP camera that it has.

I am also interested in knowing if it uses inductive charging. In the picture of the phone open there are 2 contacts to the left of the SIM, they are very much like those on the back of the Palm Pre which contacted the inductive charging plate on the battery cover.
[Nexus One General] domonas:
Potential. Hope it comes with stock OS and not samsung ui.
[Nexus One General] Frito11:
Yeah tmob 3g phones will work on most euro networks
[Nexus One General] Mactagonist:
It will.

See: http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/11/is-this-the-nexus-s/

I will be getting this phone.....unless it isn't HSPA+ compatable.

:(
[Nexus One General] musashiken:
Man that's one fugly phone. It looks too much like an Iphone.

Bah Korean phones have way too much plastic, like their women.

And I'm still waiting for a dual core chip for my next Nexus phone, not some Galaxy S rip off.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Guess what? It isn't.
[Nexus One General] antiochasylum:
Where is the ATT love??
[Nexus One General] ale0crysis:
what time Google do conference???? Pls answer!
[Nexus One General] BGH80:
Google hasn't announced any conference relating to the Nexus S.
[Nexus One General] Mactagonist:
Yeah, that is absolutely asinine. Good going Samsung.
[Nexus One General] smachine:
The sad part is all they had to do was put in a aluminum frame and back cover and this would have been a hit. I had a vibrant and the thing screamed budget phone. Even verizon classified the SGS fascinate as a mid range android set by not including it in the droid family.
[Nexus One General] gibosn6594:
I think they use the same plastic in their phone cases as they do in their TVs.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
I know build quality and materials is not everybody's thing, but the whole reason the nexus one was so great was its dead sexy looks and superb build quality. It feels like a work of art. This Samsung looks like cheap plastic. Not liking it. The nexus line is supposed to stand above all others as the flag ship. This looks like it will feel just like the galaxy s phones.
[Nexus One General] caysman:
Wtf when have n1 owners become pansies who like pretty phones ? Many of us bought the horrifically ugly g1.

Look the n2 should live and die by spec not looks, and for our crowd, not even durability considering the delicate g1.
