I get mine today, and I was wondering what is everyone's favorite thing about the nexus one compared to their old android device...
the speed. they did some amazing things with overclocking on the G1, but I love that my N1 runs silky smooth right out of the box.
I can't really compare it to my 'other' android device, since it's my first android;
However, my favorite thing is the extreme ease of navigation and installation of new apps from the market (especially browsing and downloading more apps before finished downloading current apps).
I also love the combining of contacts (all my facebook, gmail and SIM contacts are now joined and merged).
Thats good to know, so hopefully that means I wont miss the lag of my mt3g
Man I am excited... I wish FedEx would hurry up, its supposed to be here by 3, but something all ways seems to happen so, with my luck I think it wont be here till tomorrow lol.

You can check the tracking # to see if it is out for delivery... just make sure someone is there to sign for it!
My favorite thing is the speed, its so fast, everywhere. The thing I was most suprised about is how good the camera quality is, its great for random pictures that im not gonna take out my slr for.

compared to my hero this thing is a monster. Plus the development taking place on this thing is out of this world!
it was pretty much as beautiful as i though it would be, my co worker is the advocate for our store. ill post pics later the packing is a little on the wierd side, but its eco friendly lol.
***pics posted taken from hero came***
***update2 just posted 2 new pics video coming when i upload it***
I don't know why the box is making headlines... its what's inside that matters. I love the box, new and eco-friendly.
Jealous that you got to play with it!

Comparing the screen to the iPhone, is it glass or plastic?
I'm switching from iPhone to Evo but I have not had the chance to hold one and compare build quality.
My question is how much lag is there? Not just the home screen but the apps. FOr instance, when you open messages, how long does it take to display things? That's the number one thing I hate about Sense. Too much f-ing lag.
joecrack305, if you're in miami let me know which store so that i can come check it out.

omg I hate you!
Wait for the op's pic.
sorry havent responded
i have both hero and iphone and they feel plastic, the evo def feels like glass.
lag wise not existent at all i swear its so smooth
jvs60 - no ones technically suppose to know about us having the evo, but every corp store in america has one person with a evo. my supervisor is the one with the evo and i know my manager def wouldnt be a happy camper if i told you to swing by, but go to any store in miami and ask to see the evo advocates phone test your luck.
tried seeing one at my local corporate sprint store. met the advocate who had it, said he was sworn to not show it off or he would get in trouble.
it is so awesome. I feel like the guy from the burger king commercial who has the small hands and hates going to burger king when I am holding it. It is pretty big, and comes with an 8gb card in it. No lag at all when putting live wallpapers on there (unlike my rooted hero). Damn I love this phone!
giddyup!
I feel like such a school girl! This thing won't be out for another 3 weeks, and I'm scouring the internet for everything EVO!
From what I've seen online, the lag is minimal...remember it has a Snapdragon 1Ghz Processor in it...Go play with a HD2 and you'll get a feel for the speed...Android 2.2 is supposed to be faster than 2.1 from what i heard also.

Coverage reasons in my local area.
They are great in metros but in rural coverage is spotty and most of the time roaming. At least around here.
I'm going to play with it again today so hopefully more pics

Can you play with the keyboard? Is it easy to type and stuff? I am coming from using a slide out keyboard so I am kinda worried about having to start using a onscreen keyboard.
thanks
The hero was my first onscreen keyboard and the iPhone was my second
The hero I'd give a 7
the iPhone 10
evo so far a 10
The screen is so big and easy to type on it's amazing for the hero I use swype now and I will probably use that in the evo when I switch
lol was sitting @ my desk and for some reason my phone started to change homescreens by its self
left center right far right center ..
randomly putting widgets on my desktops lol i had to wiped D and C rebooted same **** W T F .
so i finally had to cave and wipe everything and reinstall
just strange my wife was watching the phone do it's freak out and asked if it sprint lol
if it's a refurb it could be defective. that's why i always buy new, no used ones.
It was Google. They are planning world domination.

Sprint has NO control over your phone. Google can do certain things, as we saw last week with the remote app remover. But they would never change your homescreens and add widgets. It was probably just the touch screen acting crazy.

I'm just wondering how it would be worth it in the long run. When the "EVO 3D" drops then the price on craigslist would drop even more. Right? Or am I doing something you're not doing?

you get upset quite easily. i didn't say you HAD to buy one, i said it's an option if your phone is jacked. there is no such word as refurb, it's used, plain & simple.
my advice is to do a full wipe and try a different rom to see if your issues persist.

if he wants an evo, it would be worth it to buy new, not used. and yes the minute the evo3d drops on sprint, so will the price of an evo. it's just the way it works. prices are already down alot from even 6 months ago. they used to go for $500+ on craigslist or ebay, not anymore.
My Samsung moment did that after I flashed a ROM, then it would settle down. I'm sure it was the screen being over sensitive.

Man ive dreaded this day for awhile now but it feels like the last few days of high school when finals are over and you were one of the only ones who showed up for school i think the hero forums have officially died.

Ok, I'm taking bets on when the Hero will be moved over to the legacy devices.

I give it 2 months tops.

Ok, dammit! Enough of this crazy talk. I'm keeping the hero for a few more months (at least), and I don't want to hear any more rumors of it's demise!

The G1 still has its own form! I think as long as cm supports the hero then there will be a decent community. Might not be as active, but people are here. If we can get that new .35 kernel working 100% (I'd say its about 90-95% there) then the hero will last quite a while. There is nothing magical about the .35 kernel except that is brings up closer to what all the "cool" devices are running.
Personally I don't see myself upgrading. I don't want to pay the $10 extra sprint charges now (yes $10 is much better than AT&T/Verizon's tiered plans!!) However although a 3VO is cool, thats all it is. My hero running nightlys and overclocked does everything I could want (except smooth angry birds ).

A are you able to customize the weather lock screen at all?? I go to settings then choose my apps hit apply but no go. But when I choose any other lock screen it all my selected icons are there. So wondering if you customized your at all??

I swapped out the icons on my weather lockscreen no problem.
***Edit***What I can't do, is get my red XDA icon to show up I'll have to reopen the .apk tomorrow and see where the icon is hiding for this phone, but it's clearly not where I'm used to finding it. I changed it fine, resigned the .apk no problem and got it to install......but with the same ugly brown icon.
You're right Shel. Last time I check, there was over 7000 registered nightly hero's. So it'll be here for a while.

Nah, I haven't even tried. Those four are sufficient. Everything else is set up like I had on my hero, other than the goofy ass dock we have to use now. Considering switching back over to LP+.

Yeah, RS guy updated it while I was looking at cases. Still, it seems the one you do for Watch improved my battery a bit. Jury is still out on that, though.

A lot of ol' Hero users have been going over to the 3VO. I, on the other hand, have been debating whether or not to go the 'Sensation 4G' route.

i think it looks like it but others say it looks like the nexus s and that the screen isnt 4.65 inch but the captivate buttons are on the screen and i dont see any anywhere else what are your thoughts

I'm hearing the launch date has been put back.
Looks amazing.
I believe it is, because that's ICS alright, and seems to lack the physical hardware buttons [as it was designed].
That has to be it... it just makes me sad though bc I've read that its going to be on verizon only

That would suck, I wanted to upgrade to the prime when it came out. Verizon doesn't make the most sense though. I would think ATT + Sprint first since they already carry the nexus line. ATT had the N1, then had the Nexus S right away. Why would Google switch it up on people that went to ATT and Sprint to get nexus phones.
T-Mobile had n1. Not attt

they decided to move it back a week, to show a little respect for steve jobs' passing. "it didn't feel like an appropriate time for a show/announcement" or something like that.
and tbh, i don't mind if it's a verizon-only model. i live in central pennsylvania right now and sprint coverage is trash. i've been waiting for a good reason to change over and this looks like it'll be the reason.

Temporarily, according to a recent post I forgot where, it looks like there will be the Verizon version and then the "real" Prime will be released for all.

I was thinking the same thing. Right now my bill is $79 after taxes and fees. But on verizon is $73 before the taxes, fees, and insurance is even added. I'm thinking it'll come out to 90-100 bucks. I don't know if It's worth it to me at that point
