Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

It's taken me too long to learn all these regedits and to master Sashimi for me to give it all up. LOL. Flashing is a BREEZE now.

I need a kb. It allows me to text without looking while keeping both hands on the wheel still.

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

I may be in the minority then that I am waiting for a 1Ghz proc before giving it a shot (a HW keyboard would be a plus as well). No reason to sink another $300+ out of contract into a phone with identical HW specs (virtually) when 1Ghz is just around the corner.

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

How is the TP2 crippled?

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

it does have a 1 ghz processor...

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

Yes, I know ;) Please see the quoted post where he was saying that people are not waiting for the 1 Ghz proc - if they wanted android they'd have purchased a hero or droid by now.

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

ha. I fail at reading comprehension. Well I Took your post for face value. ooops. Won't be my last mistake.

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

but then why do you have winmo? windows and android both just released 1ghz proc. So being as both phones don't have them then why do you have a winmo phone then? hd2 and nexus are coming with 1ghz so both os are getting the upgrade, without the upgrade if you want android for the os you should've already had one, thats what i was trying to say.

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

the saddest part of this is, the iPhone 3GS still loads the pages faster (when all devices are on a Wi-Fi network). Don't believe me? Look at engadget or pocketnow for comparisons

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

Yes, exactly. Wait...what? WTF are you texting with if both hands are on the wheel?

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

hahaha

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

Who cares if it loads them faster if the browser doesn't work as well in general? I absolutely HATE that argument. I can't stand that if you zoom in to the point that you can actually read something it doesn't wrap the text. I guess you could always try a different browser on the iphone...oh wait, no you cant. :violent1:

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

You don't need to use your thumbs any more to enter text. Everything is voice enabled. Just talk and it appears and send your text message. Who needs a keyboard or onscreen keyboard any more.

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

why is verizon getting this instead of sprint? they just got the Droid. sprint fail...sigh.

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

I have windows mobile because up until this point there's really been no other option from a business perspective. Push email from exchange and a true RDP client are *requirements* for me along with tethering.

Sprint does not offer any tethering with the Hero and Verizon does not offer it with the Droid phones (although that is due to change). PDANet offers a solution, but for business use I'll pay the carrier for a 100% working solution. Exchange support on the HTC devices was good - the droid seems to be fine (although not all SSL configurations currently work with it).

I have no beef in general with Windows Mobile other than it's been quite poorly designed from a memory management perspective for a mobile/embedded device for years. They tried to take a step forward with 6.5's memory manager and hopefully 7 will continue to improve on this. I've used it because it's been the only option.


While I vaguely get your point it still makes no sense to purchase identical hardware when in a matter of months you will be able to get a 1 Ghz processor (a large step up from 528 or 550 Mhz). The Hero/Eris from a "specs" standpoint is a larege step down from the TP2 in screen and a push on the chipset. (I have no plans to buy a Motorola device personally).

While Android as an OS is intriguing from a developer standpoint I am not about to purchase 2 phones out of pocket when I can wait 4 months and get something that will run better and offer more flexibility in the future. To pay $350+ for a phone as a novelty just doesn't make enough sense for me to do so when I can take that same money and apply it to a device with much better specifications in such a small amount of time.

When the 1 Ghz devices roll onto CDMA from HTC (Here's hoping for the Bravo/Passion) then I will plunk down my money for a device that should serve me well for some time. If Android isn't up to snuff from a business perspective then it's back within the 30 days and back to Windows Mobile.

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

droid is over rated like the iphone now

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

Haha, cool off my brotha, don't forget I'm still a WinMo person. Just saying..it's a bit sad and btw it zooms pretty well (I use an old iPhone as my iPod hehe) BUT I don't want to argue because I'm still WinMo all the way!

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

Sorry, the guy with the hammer was not directed at you, but the crappy iphone browser. I have an ipod and it's great fun every now and then and my nieces love it, but I couldn't use it as my primary phone. I am looking towards Android because it seems to be where the devs are heading and it's open and geek friendly. I have been with WM for a long long time though and think I may just stick it out, at least until we see what WM7 brings and what Sprint's plans are for phone releases.

I can say that if Sprint had something like the Nexus with a keyboard out, I would have a hard time talking myself out of jumping off the WM camp, if only temporarily.

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

yes you can.

i dont know if the alternate browsers offer text wrap tho (probably still built on webkit). but still, you can use alternate browser :)

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

I suppose this is true if you jailbreak, but I really doubt you are going to find a quality browser on Cydia. Although, I could be wrong since there are some really awesome apps there and the main reason that I wait to upgrade my ipod until jailbreak is updated.

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

yea i was just playing around with the zap (or zapper) browser which is a clone of the palm pree browser. that coupled withe awsome muiltitasking of proswitch (think palm p0re cards for the ipod/iphone) has had me using my touch for alot more than music lately

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

Well this sounds nice, but, if it's implemented anything like the transcription for google voice, I'd be afraid. Very afraid. Have you seen how some of the transcriptions end up even when the words are clear? Comical, really.

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

So here is a question, if the TP2 uses a sim card for sprint and the nexus one is an open phone will pulling your sim card out and putting it in the nexus do you think it will work? Just a thought!

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

Sprint is CDMA. That means no SIM card. Now Nextel has a SIM card. So do GSM devices. Verizon is like Sprint and does not have a SIM card.

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

My Verizon Touch Pro 2 came with a SIM card.

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

That's so it can function as a "world phone" on foreign country's GSM networks. By default the radio is locked to not work on domestic GSM networks...but that's been "taken care of"...:D

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

Well, I have to agree with some of the first posts....it's just a pimped out Hero. Still no keyboard. What are these people thinking. Can you imagine how much more popular the iPhone would be with a physical keyboard? It would rule the world. I don't know why HTC insists on making these insanley robust and complicated phones without keyboards. Makes no sense to me. I'm gonna wait for the glorious day when HTC makes an Android phone with a keyboard.

No Nexus One for me...

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

As much as I love a keyboard and want one, I have to say that I understand why devices with a keyboard are popular. It's not just about the thinness (which is sexy), but about a more solid phone with fewer moving parts. As much as I love my keyboard it always annoys me that it gets loose and then the whole top screen portion clicks against the keyboard and sometimes end up at a bit of an angle adding hard edges to an otherwise sleek device.

I don't like the idea of using the on screen keyboard all the time, but it's easier with a capacitive screen and I would love the feel of a more solid device. I still don't think that I could give up my keyboard, but I do understand the reasons for abandoning it.

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

just like the hd2 :D

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

i have a feeling i will have a winmo phone for a long time, unless winmo7 just epicly fails, but ive been waiting for an android device i could add to a 2nd line. whenn a 1ghz android phone comes out on sprint, i will be buying it. both platforms are so similar, there's good in both. It's like going out to buy a second car... chances are it's going to be a different make/model... doesn't mean one is bad.

anyone see the browser test video on engadget? painfully slow...

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

If you look inside your TP2 from sprint it does have a sim card in there, so it can operate as a world phone.

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

only becasue its a world phone and its locked for local use unless unlock it like I did. But sprint is CDMA and u cant use a sprint sim card in a local phone wont get no service unless u go over seas.

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

I can't believe these threads stay in here now.Did the mods up and leave the site? i mean it use to be run normal now it is like any other trash site where you can make posts about anything and it not get moved.

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

If it works as well as Google Voice's transcription of voicemails, I think I'll still be needing those thumbs. :thumbleft:

Edit: Doh, should have read all the way through the thread, WisdomWolfX said pretty much the same thing one page back. Oh well, great minds and such...

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

+1 And not to mention, I can understand voice command to open a program or call someone in my contact list, but if I'm going to use my voice to "write" a text, I might as well call them.

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

My brother-in-law has a Droid & I was playing with it recently.

The transcription works pretty well, but even so it doesn't work well enough to totally eliminate the need for a KB........

One of the reasons he bought the Droid was that it does have a hardware KB.

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

I agree with what you're saying 100%, but there are plenty of times I send my Son who is in College a text when I would not want to call him as I don't know if he is in class or not.

When he is off at school, we text all the time but I almost never call him (or I send him a text saying "call me when you get a minute").

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

sig updated.... way too good :tshirt:

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

Well im a Nexus One owner as of tommorw..Will still keep my TP2 active, but i had to have a new toy..Win Mo no new apps, just getting boring around here....Everytime a new app comes out I get all excited to find out its for iphone and android...SO after hearing the specs i jumped on the wagon, but i will jump back off onto windows mobile if the dead starts walking again.

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

Pardon my lack of research, but will the Nex1 work on your Sprint network? If not, I assume you have another carrier(?)...

Re: Who's getting Nexus One?
 

http://www.google.com/phone Yes sir "mumbles Tmobile" But i will keep sprint as well, i will never leave sprint.
