It's officially out: Nexus One Phone - Web meets phone.

In depth review: Nexus One review -- Engadget

This phone looks very interesting and the fact that its coming out on Verzion this Spring peaks my interests. The trackball is a bit odd, but overall it looks like a solid phone. I can't wait to test it out.

Anyone plan on getting this phone?

JayDee M Rolly · 01-05-2010, 02:04 PM

ooo t-mobile as well i just saw. nice

murda-c · 01-05-2010, 02:06 PM

needs multitouch.

BustedS13 · 01-05-2010, 02:08 PM

track ball on my G1 has proven useful. it's nice to have the option
if i break the G1 before another GSM Android with a keyboard shows up, i'll get it.

has multitouch, but Apple has a patent on fucking pinching to zoom and shit, so none of the packaged apps utilize it.
Dolphin is a free browser that has multitouch, though. also PicSay, which is a picture editor.

on the other hand, the iPhone can't run two apps at once, and nobody has a patent on that.

It's stupidly expensive.

$530

it's $180 with a contract. buy any phone out of contract and it's expensive. this is nothing new.
my old Treo 700p would have been like $850 out of contract or something fucking insane.

$530 is not expensive

worst part of this phone is ATT 3g band is not avaliable
should have made 2 different version

It is when I'm going to drop it and break it in a few months... but then again, $530 must be a lot of money if we're driving shitty 240s.

*exitspeed* · 01-05-2010, 02:21 PM

Nice. Another good phone option for us Verizon folks.

what the fuck argument is that? get a protection plan. buy it under contract. if it's not on your provider and $530 is too much, move on. there are plenty of T-Mo users who don't have iPhones for this reason.

*DALAZ_68* · 01-05-2010, 02:22 PM

no qwerty board = auto fail to me...touch screen shit is annoying me...

DreamN · 01-05-2010, 02:33 PM

Get with the times old man. lol

Can't get it on my plan since I have a year until renewal with T-Mobile... so I get to pay the full price.

It's unbreakable.

wh0aitznic0 · 01-05-2010, 02:44 PM

Contract expires February. If it's 180 like Busted said, I'm getting this phone. Looks promising.

Daniel. · 01-05-2010, 02:45 PM

The hype on this phone nearly killed it.

Please clarify.

Do you mean nearly killed it being an actual product or killed overall expectations.

Daniel. · 01-05-2010, 03:11 PM

Expectations. Everyone hyped it up as some amazing iPhone contender. It was never supposed to be that.

wh0aitznic0 · 01-05-2010, 03:15 PM

What is it supposed to be then?

Daniel. · 01-05-2010, 03:19 PM

A high tech cutting edge mobile device built to Google's standards without manufacturer and carrier personalization.

lol I know bro. I actually like Lizzy's phone compared to mine for the same reason. She gets all the same shit that's on my phone, same touch screen use and functions, with the addition of a slide out keyboard. It's not bad.

totally agree, i'm happy with the G1 for now

ZenkiKid · 01-05-2010, 04:08 PM

I dont see whats the hype behind the phone, its one of the MANY phones running Androids Eclair 2.0.

ronmcdon · 01-05-2010, 04:16 PM

Wish there would be more qwerty android phones.
I would prob veer towards the Cliq if I were to get a cellphone today.

Honestly, I don't see how this could be much better than existing android phones.

I view it as such, and a nice platform for customization at the OS level. The only thing that stands out vs. other phones is the 1GHz processor.

However, you have to admit that the general public (especially the media) will always compare a new touchscreen phone to the iPhone.

bigOdom1 · 01-05-2010, 04:29 PM

i gotta have a keyboard. hopefully htc makes an android phone with a keyboard in the next year

Okinawandrifter87 · 01-05-2010, 04:39 PM

Oooo I wants one

kandyflip445 · 01-05-2010, 05:39 PM

Not too impressed. Looks like another HTC phone with Android. And if you want you could always get the Droid and then update to 2.1 when it is released. Then you'd have a qwerty keyboard. The cliq is cool too. Anyone know if you can get Blur for the Droid?
