N1 now coming to sprint

http://newsreleases.sprint.com/phoe...ol-newsArticle_newsroom&ID=1403426&highlight=

Damnit... now I'm tempted to leave T-mobile. Might be selling a second N1 soon, lol. Can Sprint customers get OTA updates yet?

Thank god for the N1 not being tied to a carrier... In the past you might not have gone with a carrier better for your situation because they didn't have a great phone. I didn't go with Sprint since the "best" phone they had for me was a outdated version of the PalmPre but now the N1 closes all the gaps between carriers and allows anyone to have an amazing phone on any carrier.

Likewise... the only reason I decided to stay with T-mo was because of the N1, and I didn't want to pay $35 more a month to switch to VZW. Now with it coming out on Sprint, it could mean I'd have incentive to switch even with the T-mo ETF.

This gets me excited...Now when will it be released is the question...?...And will this phone gain popularity like the iPhone..?

That is true...Maybe a Google store will emerge somewhere...I am most likely going to get the N1 if it gets released soon..

I believe the Verizon and sprint launch will happen at the same time.

Personally, from my experience, Sprint has the worst customer service out there.
I'm happy w/ my tmobile nexus 1.

N1 available for any carrier so that all can be with coverage/pricing plan they prefer? Brilliant.

things have changed in recent months/past couple years. I joined the sprint scene in august with the palm pre, and then returned it when the hero was announced and waited the 1.5 months till i could buy it.
ive had my own instances of being involved with customer service, and 9/10 times I really feel like sprint CSR's went the distance at least to make me feel valued. there is one instance where they didnt, but thats about contract dates, and all 4 major carriers are sticklers about that.
do some research on it for the latest reviews on sprint customer support.
back on topic, true story, this user will definitely be one of the first customers for the nexus one on sprint.

This is very exciting news. Development for the Nexus will be strong for a long time to come.

As someone else already said... times have changed at Sprint. AT&T has the worse customer service, followed by VZW... T-mo and Sprint are the best when it comes to customer service. I guess the bottom two have to have something go for them, lol...

Wait to see if the Supersonic will be crippled like the Backflip... Hopefully it will be fully Google.

Wonderful news. I'll be the first to ditch my Sprint Hero for the Nexus One. I am beyond tired of HTC and their antics. A Google supported phone makes me much happier.
Bring it on.

Will they finally stop being dickfaces and allow someone to activate on a Sero plan ?
Thats the only way Id recommend Sprint to anyone. I admit there cellular service is fantastic !...but there customer care left a bad taste in my mouth.

is this true at all?

i want to upgrade to the N1 when it hits sprint, i hope soon?
anyways im hearing the phone itself won't be in sprint stores and you cannot get it serviced at sprint either. you have to buy it online from google and send it in for repairs, is this true? if soo i smell a BIG fail coming. will the phone even be branded with a sprint logo at all?

Why is this posted in the HERO forum?

That sounds consistent with how the N1 has been sold so far, as far as I know.

Well that has been their trend so far with the other carriers, so it's very possible, but it's kind of to early to tell art this point

That's Google's new method--buy from google.com/phone and don't worry about anything else.
Who cares if it's Sprint branded? As long as it's considered an upgrade you'll get your nice price.

Well, the problem is that since you bought it from google.com, when you have problems and call Sprint for help, they can say "You have to call Google."
Of course, Google doesn't seem to have any publicly available phone numbers for you to call, so you're stuck with their worthless message boards...
Plus, if the actual hardware craps out, you can't walk into a Sprint store and get it replaced the same afternoon, you have to deal with shipping in two directions and be without a phone for a week....
Or at least that seems to be the major complaint about the N1 currently on the market....

just wait for the evo 4g, its got better specs then the nexus and a bigger screen,

No, just wait even more, pre 2011, dual core Snapdragon 1.5ghz phones running android will be out. If you buy the Evo, you'll wish you had waited lol

i just think the idea of going without a phone while it's in for repairs is stupid when there are local sprint repair centers. i don't see this going over well with sprint customers if they follow past suit.

if you pay 69.99+ with sprint, you can get the full upgrade every 365 days so by the time that all happens, you can get a DC snapdragon 1.5 right around the corner and still have an EVO

Hang on to your hero then. I still have every phone in my sig as a backup. I'm glad that google is doing SOMETHING to shake up the status quo a bit. Remember if you buy phones that are sold and supported by sprint, you'll have to wait on sprint for things like android 2.1, just like we're doing now. If google is able to get sprint (and other us carriers) to budge from their traditional phone-tied-to-carrier model, it'll just put us one step closer to breaking the wireless phone oligopoly.
Many years ago, you had to buy your land line telephones from your land line provider. They were sold and supported there, and they had very high costs. Then over time, that changed and people bought phones that weren't branded by their carrier. (or supported by them either, omg!). I'm sure it was a very scary time, but think about how ridiculous that sounds today.

Screw all the people who jumped ship to the Droid X just because of some benchmarks that have no real impact on everyday use.

Except you actually get 3G service with Verizon. Atleast they can justify charging more with a great network, AT&T on the other hand...

Verizon has a great network so they can at least justify the extra costs. Not att.
As for the digitally locked boot loader, it cost them my sale. I'll keep my evo and maybe get an epic. If not then something else later in the year.
This is foolish on motorola's part. They are one device off of bankruptcy, the droid saved them and the hacker community saved the droid for many users. Motorola lacks the apple polish so I'm not sure I see the closed system working as well.

Don't much care about DroidX, The EVO is better anyway Seems like people just cling to the droid name similiar as people clinging to iPhone. I got sucked in for a couple days but quickly came to my senses, once you get past the whole "me too" droid moniker you realize the EVO is really where it's at
I have to admit though Verizon really has the advertising down and Android likely would not be where it's at today without them. So I hope the droid x is succesful enough for them to continue the ad campaigns because I am addicted to Android these days!

This is just my opinion of course...
When I went to a local motorola plant to try and buy hardware directly from them, they kinda looked down at met and said they don't sell to the public. Snooty elitest that acted like they were the mafia or something. Christ, the monkey at the desk in the lobby looked like a 350lb bouncer. They had many of their products behind glass cases, but they didn't want my money. I had people I knew that worked at their assembly plants in the past. They said that the way they were treated was like you are just a number and we can easily replace you. They had a employment agency fishing for people to work there. If you messed up on just one thing in the long and tedious interview process, you couldn't reapply for six months. F them! They may have been "good" back in the day, but I think they can take their attitude and stuff it. Even some of the people that are in engineering have the attitude like they're better than everyone else. I don't care that they are slowly dying as a company. They shouldn't care what you use their product for, as long as you are buying their product. Idiots.

Calm down you two. What I meant was the fact that Verizon and AT&T both have their flagship phones locked down.
Also...when I was the Death Star, the 3G service was pretty good. I just couldn't justify the extra $30+ a month.

Never liked Motorola,Verizon nor at&t.but I'm hopeing one day t-mobile and sprint merge together as one carrier and bring out gsm/cdma plus LTE world phones to whip Verizon and at&t.hopefully by 2012.

I haven't closed my Death Star account yet... but I have to tell you I've had to use my AT&T phone to call Sprint 6 times since I got the phone on launch day. Why? Because my Sprint service was out.
And AT&T's 3G... no comparison. Sprint I'm lucky to get 500kbps consistently. AT&T I get at least 1.5Mbps consistently.

Most future phones are going to be locked down by the companies. That's until the devs get ahold of it. No phone is uncrackable!

It's just big company corporate thinking. They don't give a f if they're almost in the hole; they're out of loop with the rest of the world and most of the all, the end user.

On that note, there's something I've always dreamed of: A truly universal phone. Pentaband GSM/GPRS/etc., CDMA, WiMax, and LTE. Unreasonable now? Yes. Unreasonable in a year or two? Nope. Especially if the Sprint/T-Mobile merger works out.
I pity people who still have iDEN phones.

When I had Sprint from 06 to Feb of this year, I got 2+ consistently... their network in Denver is completely shot now. I'm hoping its just because of the upgrades for 4G... But either way, I think its ironic I've had to call Sprint from my ATT phone for tech support.

Good bye again :)

This time it's goodbye to SPRINT and the Hero but not goodbye to XDA.
I'm hanging my hat At the Captivate Portal now.

I would join you, but AT&T IS AN EVIL COMPANY. YOU ARE MAKING A BIG MISTAKE. They ditched their unlimited data plan! The most you can get it 2GB/month. Their customer service sucks, their coverage sucks worse, and they lock down installing non-Market apps on Android phones. They are EVIL!

No more evil than Sprint.
*shrug*
Yeah go ahead and sell me a phone and in less than 10 months tell me that I won't be getting a software update that We all know our phones can handle, just so you can sell me a Phone that WILL have Froyo but I'd have to pay an extra 10 dollars a month for.

Have fun with the iPhone network bloat.

AT&T knows that Android is clearly superior to the iPhone.
That's why they're making all of their Android phones super ****ty and removing functionaity from them that the iPhone doesn't have. AT&T wouldn't have the iPhone exclusively if they weren't taking Apple out back of the building for some extra cash.

Well personally I don't care, but really? AT&T? The worst of the 4

We should start a betting pool for when (not if) he comes back to Sprint. I'll take dibs on 2 months from now. Any other guesses?

wow! one year with sprint! :)

so I log in to check my bill at sprint.com, wanted to browse as i am looking for another phone to play with.. LOl
it's been a year, got my deposit back! wahoot!
seeing a little credit in there is nice, I have to say form all the stories i have heard about sprint being on these boards for almost a year, I have had a pleasurable experience with them, the financing department is first class, had some billing issues with them and they were as pleasant as can be. I do feel their service can be better in their stores, as My trusty evo's charging port let go back in november, and i had some rough spots tryin to get sprint to help me, so i went to htc and they resolved my issue no problems, so in a nutshell i am a happy customer!
now, do i want a design4g, epic4g touch, or photon4g? LOL

Totally agree with you. I have had a very pleasant experience with Sprint as well. Had a couple small billing issues that were fixed very quickly and drop less calls now than with Verizon. I used Verizon for 9 years but the cost was getting out of control. So far over the last 20 months, I have saved $2256 by switching. Total win

Sprint is great for the price. Just wait til network vision rolls out and coverage increases.

I have been itching for the epic touch 4g....

Grats! I remember when I got my deposit back...was stoked to have 2 free months of service basically. As far as upgrading your phone I would hold off on that. I just recently purchased the EVO 4G because I really wasn't too impressed with the newer phones. Granted they are better than the EVO but just slightly which to me isn't worth either the upgrade credit or the extra cash. Wait for some more ICS phones and then upgrade....i'm betting Samsung and HTC will come out with something great.

Sent From My Evo 4G Amped Up On Verizon Tower Power!

right outside of bayfield wisconson hmmm hour east of superior beaaaautiful up here and no computer repair business so here i am

I agree, I have had a pleasurable experience with them, their service is excellent.

Brad, I would wait until MWC. I am having the same debate, I am going to wait for my 2 years to officially upgrade but if I get the chance to try a different handset I will. My wife needs a replacement EVO but I am kind of hoping they wont have one and we will have to get something else... we will see. But HTC is going to be launching something BIG this year!

I'm waiting it out too. Galaxy Nexus, sure it has LTE but it is last year's technology. I have very high hopes for MWC and shall be revealed there.
Out of Design, Photon, or Epic Touch?
Design has basically no development community. Smaller screen, and single core just doesn't cut it for me.
Photon has Motoblur and it is a worldphone, if you're into that kind of thing. It has a small but quality development community, jokersax has put out some good stuff for them. Unlocking the bootloader borks 4G. You can relock to fix 4G, and you can't relock with custom kernels.
Epic Touch used to have Loss of Signal, which was an absolute pain. It is pretty much gone now. Took a while to get AOSP on it, but they have accomplished. They have the strongest development community out of the three. I think it is BML but I'm not sure. If it is, hopefully they will be able to convert it to MTD sometime in the near future.
OR wait

i can never wait for my upgrade i have about 4 months til my contract is up ... sadly i maybe switching to the evil empire (at&t) :/

thanks guys! think im gonna wait, love my evo to death, and i just got a kindle fire so i got a new device to hold me over haha!

Have you considered calling them and letting them know that you have no service at your house. I was having the same problem as I live in a small town in southern california and they sent me a free airave. Granted its not the best solution in the world but it will provide you with coverage in your home as long as you have high speed internet.

I've had a few minor ups and down with Sprint as far as billing went, but next to nil issues with repairs or phone service. I wish it was my first year again. I've been with Sprint for close to a decade now.
As far as a new phone goes, I'm with one of the previous posters. There's yet to been a phone released that has made me want to make the switch. Especially due to many of the awesome ROMS that been developed for our phones in the past year or so. In some cases, it's literally like having a new phone every few months. lol

Have you considered calling them and letting them know that you have no service at your house. I was having the same problem as I live in a small town in southern california and they sent me a free airave. Granted its not the best solution in the world but it will provide you with coverage in your home as long as you have high speed internet.

yes i have considered that but atm with google voice intergration i can still text fine over wifi so im content on waiting a little til i have more concrete plans and my internets its through phone company (it was through my cable in my previous town so i just hooked up a land line and/or use skype) thanks for the suggestion.
and my ex got the airave since it was tied to her plan damnit

I've been with Sprint since '99... And I've definitely had my ups and downs. Overall I'm very happy with my plan, unlimited, my Airave at no charge to boost signal at the house and my E4G that has a very mature development community... But I'm really hoping to see some quad core hotness released in the next few months...
