nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

today BGR confirmed that the nexus one will be going to sprint. i wish they would have got the desire instead but u gotta take what u can get. anyone else excited about this?

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

It seems from reading it that this won't be 4G capable, I could be wrong but that is what I am getting from it.

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

it definitely won't be 4g capable. supersonic if wimax will be the 1st wimax phone.

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

do you know if sprint will charge extra for wimax?

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

I'm not sure. Since they're trying to gain activations from sero users and powerusers I'm assuming the 3 SEP plans will cover it.

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

very excited but wish it would be available in retail channels. boo. thats a bummer. i would suspect that even though the stores wont have access people will still expect us to fix them. but...if i never get to see one dont know how i will go about that. lol hopefully it will be similar enough to the other android devices that the fixes will be the same. laser engraving...? why? lol it's not jewelry. :)

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

This phone will not be fixed by sprint. Everything that has to do with purchasing and fixing is done by HTC and Google. Customers may want you to fix it but you will not be given any tools nor will you be able to do exchanges, everything of this nature is done by Google. Makes your job easier.

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

So it will have to be sent in for repairs?

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

That is correct. That's why they've been getting the bad rap about the google customer service. All repairs are guaranteed within 2 weeks. If you are a customer that goes to the Sprint store often for phone problems and exchanges then you do not want this phone.

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

I was trying to decide between the Supersonic and the N1, since my area will not be getting WiMax anytime soon, and now I know the N1 is out.

Thanks for the info!

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

That is kind of a bummer. I haven't had any phone issues since I left the TP1, but you never know, and I don't want to have to wait lol. I have back-ups but....I don't like that. I shall continue to wait I think.

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

I had to send mine back and it took them almost a week to decide that they were going to just send me a new one. Pretty inconvenient... if I didnt still have my 3gs I wouldve been pissed. Now im sitting here wondering should I do the OTA update because thats when my first one started acting screwy. I'm going to send an email to mophie to see if I can get them to make a version of the juice pak for the N1. I have one on my 3gs and it works miracles.

For those that dont know... it's a case/charger. You plug it in and charge it over night and its the same size as a hard case. So when your battery gets low you flip a little switch on the bottom and it charges the phone to full battery within about 30 minutes. Life saver considering the battery isnt that great and I think my N1 battery is a bit worse. Also keeps me from having to carry around a charger...

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

damn i'm sorry to hear that because i honestly wouldn't like my nexus one withouth the pinch to zoom option.

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

heck no! im not sending my phone in for service... this
confirms it... im gonna wait for the supersonic.

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

people will still come in and ask..."how do i do this?" "how do i do that?" "my phone wont call" "my phone is locked with too many attempts". there will still be things that i can and will fix when i figure out how. i am not equipped with tools or allowed exchanges. i am not a tech but am the closest thing to it that my store has...and my biggest fault...*drumroll* ... i refuse to send my customer away without resolving their issue, no matter what. but that is what sets me apart from my competition and why my customers deal exclusively with me. but thanks for the info. that is the same reason the iphone sux! who wants to be without their phone ever? i will not go anywhere without my phone and if it is dead i will drop $25 on a charger as if it is $0.25 just to have my phone back on. if i had to choose between power and phone, believe the phone bill is the bill getting paid. :)

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

if you would spread your good attitude and to the other sprint stores maybe the company stock wouldnt be tanking! Seriously, the sprint store in Chino CA on Central Ave. is the worst! Those people provide the most horrible customer service imaginable! They are the reason I lost my sero plan. My contract is over and had not been for rumors of the supersonic i would have been gone by now. I already sold all of my shares in the company.

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

that sux! will see what i can do bout improving the company one day at a time. i get a lot of attention from the higher ups so...u know i always try. but customer feedback is the most important thing in evaluating employee performance. make sure you let the right people know about your experience so that they can weed out the bad.

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

any confirmed release date yet?

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

I talked to someone at a Sprint store as I wanted to see the Hero and Moment in person to decide if I'm going to wait and get a Nexus one instead. They said the Nexus One won't be out til later this year, maybe in time for Christmas sales. :( I still didn't get the Hero or Moment, they were nice but the screens were tiny. To small for the price. I could buy an iPad for the same price :p

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

see i heard the opposite from sprint. they tell me the nexus will launch in june and the evo will be in the fall.

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

Honestly I don't think anyone at a sprint store/kiosk or customer service truly knows. Hell, Google probably doesn't even know yet.

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

im consistently hearing the n1 will launch in the next few months. i hope so as it will be my next phone.

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

I heard the same, we went to get my wife a new phone last weekend, I asked the guy specifically about the n1 and with a develish little smile he just said, "very soon".

Take it as you will, I'll probably just jump on which ever releases first between it and the Evo.

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

Since my company pays for my phones, I will get the N1 first, then the EVO second, if the N1 is indeed released first. Someone in my office, or one of my kids, will enjoy the N1 when I am done with it, if I choose to keep the EVO :)

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

I seriously need to work were you work lol

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

nexus wont be available in store anyway, online only, and u have to send it in for service like the iphone.

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

umm... where are you hearing that from? i highly doubt sprint will do that as people won't want to wait for shipping. that's not the way sprint works, they will want to show it off at the stores & kiosks. im also skeptical about them making us send it in for repairs when there are local repair centers available. wouldn't make sense at all. the launch of the phone would epically fail if they go that route.

i just wish i could get the droid working on sprint, id buy that one in a heartbeat.

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

Ahm..its not about sprint...the Nexus One is sold 100% by Google..its not up to sprint to sell or not to sell...As stated before,the Nexus One is an expirement by Google and they don't want carriers involved, only to provide voice/data service...Google handles everything down to CS.

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

The Nexus doesn't have to be available in store for me to buy it and pass it down to someone else, so I am good with that.

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

thanks for making that clear. i think this has already been discussed in this thread and elsewhere. guess the hype made people skip over the important details...like where to buy and service. better have a backup phone cuz i kno sumbody w tmo who has had to send their nexus in twice already for repairs.

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

so when can we buy the phone and where online then?

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

nobody knows the release date, but here is the website you can buy it from when its released.

http://www.google.com/phone?utm_camp...rm=nexus%20one

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

im sure we will be able to order it from sprint as well, we need a release date and soon i hope.

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

you will not be able to order this phone from sprint, i'm positive.

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

than how will we know when it's available for sprint then? that makes no sense, why even carry the darn thing? will it even have the sprint logo on it at all?

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

I don't understand what you're saying, its the same for everyone whos ordered the nexus, YOU HAVE TO ORDER IT FROM THIS WEBSITE. The same way i knew it was available for T-mobile and the same way we know its coming to sprint, you'll know its available on sprint. It will not have a sprint logo.

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

I don't think the Nexus One gets any carrier branding. On another note, I find it hard to even care about this phone anymore with the EVO just around the corner.

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

im saying i thought sprint would not allow non sprint branded phones on their network. i mean if the thing is generic and doesn't even carry the sprint logo, im confused. the sprint store told me they would carry it, in store. so yeah i guess ill have to wait and see.

Re: nexus one confirmed on sprint
 

I can't say this. True if you live in a 4g area then of course you would want to evo, as long as 4g is the main case. other then that i would still want the nexus, Besides the fact that the nexus will get froyo update way before evo (hero and moment are still waiting for 2.1 update) the size of the evo will be big for alot of people. i've played with the hd2 and to me the hd2 is too big, of course alot of ppcgeeks will like that size but trust me alot won't. Also the super amoled display on the nexus is a plus for me. Compared to the hd2 everything looks brighter and smoother on a amoled display. But of course to each his own.

i wasn't trying to be smart, sorry if i sounded like that. You don't have to wait, I'm 100% POSITIVE sprint will not carry this phone nor will there be a Sprint branded Nexus One.
