G1 Owners Unite! The Official G1/Android Thread..News/Apps/Features All In Here

yeah that's y i said i better sleep on it, the only thing is nobody is taking my $400 offer and i'm tired of waiting, I don't see myself paying $500, so that's y I've been contemplating buying it from google locked.

I know it sounds crazy but if you buy it unlocked you'll save more money over two years.

If you can't find it in Atlanta for $400 you should look in surrounding cities. I live about 150 miles from Richmond and 250 miles from Virginia Beach. I was willing to make a day trip to get the phone for a good price.

I see where darkmeat is coming from. If you feel that you will keep the phone for 2 years and will be ok with the plan than do it. I am not sure if you if said that someone was willing to sell it for 480 and you only have 450, if that is the case find a way to get the extra 30.
 
Royal, do yourself a favor and buy the phone unlocked. If you buy the phone with that bullshit TMO plan you can't get out of that plan for two year. Research it.

If you by the phone unlocked you'll save more money in the long run compared to the locked phone with that bullshit plan. Do the math. When I did the math, I saved $10 at the end of two years if I would have bought the phone for $529 compare to buying the phone for $179 plus the bullshit plan. If you have a really good plan, no phone is worth losing it over.

Do the math and think about.
not true
you can call in and upgrade anytime

the google site and guys on tmobile's forums say you can upgrade to better Even More plans

It's actually been confirmed that after purchasing, any Even More plan will work, so if you want to upgrade to unlimited minutes, etc. that's possible on the subsidized T-Mobile version.

To me the plan is decent so im gonna get a good insurance plan from squaredeal(squaretrade?) for $79 then when Im done with the phone smash it and get my $479 and buy a new phone 11 months from now.

So Mak your saying I can buy this phone from say the google site, upgrade to that unlimited everything which I believe is $99? Then become a AAA member and get a 50% discount??? I'm waiting for you to let me know if it works, i'll go ahead and purchase it locked if I can get that 15% discount, how much does a year of AAA cost? Are you sure they'll give the 15% discount with the Nexus plan? 1 other question, if i get the phone locked, that doesn't mean I have to keep this phone for 2 years right, it just means I have to stay with tmobile for 2 years, right?
 
HTC Incredible Photos Leaked, Reveal Incredibly Brown Back Plate

incr1.jpg


The HTC Incredible, a leaked cellphone code name that first made the rounds back in December, is the real deal, as seen in these sneak peak pics from Pocket Now. Can you say brown? You'll see:

incr2.jpg


Very original Zune coloring, no? Lots of contours and wacky shapes going on in the rear too.

There are some specs to go along with the leak, those being an Android 2.1 OS with HTC Sense, running on a Snapdragon CPU. A rumored 256MB of RAM accompanies a roughly 3.5-3.7" WVGA screen (possibly AMOLED? That's unconfirmed).

Dual LED flashes adorn the brownish backplate, and an optical mouse pointer resides down near the bottom.


What do you guys think?

okay let me clear this up
AAA has a 15% plan discount and a no activation charge discount ($35 value - ive also read the discount is 13% and 14%) There are corporate discounts that are supposed to be 25%. I need to read up and check if anyone has had this applied after starting tmo service with a nexus one.
Im going to try to get these- they should work from calling up Tmo after my phone arrives
A year of AAA is like $42. If you can get the discount from TMO its definitely worth it plus you get free tow service and hotel discounts etc.

The phone is unlocked period. The $179 option is the same phone as the $529 - the $179 just comes with a tmo sim card acvtivated and you get a phone number emailed to you.
You can throw in a ATT sim card right away if u wanted.
The $179 price goes with the 2 year tmo contract.
Yes you do not have to keep the phone. You can sell it right away and use another phone and pocket the difference if you want.

You might not be able to apply any discounts once service is established but that doesn't make too much sense to me.

As Afrohispanic stated earlier in this thread, I don't see anything else dropping that's going to match the Nexus One this year. I could be wrong, however if something better drops that's the phone I will have. This Incredible piece of shit isn't it!!!

ive still got to try alot more stuff but overall Id put it up there with my favorite devices - x360, 50in hdtv, hd-dvr, my macbookpro
This is the best phone on the market.

I told you so :yes::yes::yes: :cool:

That Nexus is the Truth. I love the build quality. Check your IM homey.
 
I usually don't do this but fuck it!!!!


I TOLD YOU SO!!!!!


As I stated in a previous thread, the specs don't mean shit unless you can hold the phone in your hand and see them with your on eyes.

I'm so glad you like it. Now tell me this, how much did you spend and was it money well spent?

Ohh, a must have app for the Nexus One and any Android phone, "Automatic Task Killer". I don't know if any other task managers does this but, when your phone goes into sleep mode it automatic kill all apps you select. Save battery and RAM, DOPE APP!!!

Welcome to the Nexus One Family Homie!!!

Yo this is the case that I have for it, http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr3hnx1-bk.htm

It's pricey but worth it. Some of my needed apps are Automatic Task Killer or just the regular task killer, both do the job and help battery life. Astro File Manager, AK Notepad, and blue tooth file transfer and some of my other apps. Check out your IM. I sent you some info that will help you get Docs to go for free along with a wrack of games like raging thunder, home battle 3d, beautiful widgets, pure calendar, Armageddon and more.

He's talking about a rooted 2.1 custom themed rom for the G1. Most of us still have those you know :lol:



And seriously now, we all know the N1 is a great phone but this thread is turning into a debate thread. N1 VS to MotoRoi...and tbh its getting kind of annoying now. Well at least to me...im not hating on the N1 or the ppl who got it but I think we've lost sight of what this thread is for. App, News, Roms, updates, etc etc. Not ho has a better phone

Zei, I'm sorry you feel that way. You are right, this forum is for Android Apps, News, ROMs, Updates, etc. and the last I looked, the Nexus One falls under the Android umbrella. I don't see any harm with any thing that has been posted long as the forum stay on topic with Android and what it has to offer. If you wanna get the Nexus One or MotoRoi by all means do you. We are all entitled to our opinions, and I look forward to hearing yours and anyone else who decides to contribute to this thread.

Man..... there is a Car Home app and it is just a huge bar with large icons that basically help you select stuff while driving - perfect for setting the phone in a dash or console mounted dock - hit voice search then just say "navigate to beverly center" shit will go into google maps navigation mode with voice directions and plot your course to LA from wherever. Call people the same way.
This fuckin thing has like 30 ringtones stock and they aint garbage either :smh:

I just started messing with the live wallpapers which are cool as hell too. The display quality is dope too.

Just got about a gig worth of games and apps too. Its wide open winmo style. No need for rooting to get apps to work. No need for jailbreaking.

Its an official android thread. I havent disrespected any phones in here cept winmo and not really tryin to do that. With all the posts in this thread I dont feel a few talking about the latest droid device takes anything away from others. Im not trying to be on some my shit is better than yours stuff just trying to express how good the N1 is. Sorry if I offended you.

Droid users!!!!

The 2.1 OTA update will be rolling out over the new few days...look forward to it

Far as darkmeat and Mak go - Yea you are entitled to your opinion and the N1 is a droid phone but even if I do get a MotoRoi im not gonna compare it to anything else cause it is what it is. And you completely missed my point of what this thread is about. The past 2 or 3 pages has been nothing but a debate and all im saying is that can we get back to what the point of this thread was about. Whens the last time anyone posted some apps, news on a new phone, had a rooting problem etc etc.

Take it how you want to, either im complaining or telling the truth. Im just putting it out there...this thread isnt about a N1 or Moto...its about the OS which is android...not what phone can do what
