Sorry if this is the wrong place but i wasn't quite sure where it fits in if its as its not specifically directed towards the nexus one.
I've got my nexus one and i've had it since feb, enjoying the phone quite a lot at the moment. i'm in the UK and my contract will be up for renewal come December (I can upgrade in November though).
What i'm wondering is what Android phone's & tablets will be available around that time. I'm not quite sure where to start looking.
I'm quite interested in getting a tablet e.g. something like the Dell Looking Glass which i think will be out in November from the leaks i've seen!
A friend of mine has the Dell Streak which seems ok although i'm not convinced on the size for a phone.
I'd quite like to have an Evo 4G but that would be pointless in this country
Why not stick with the NexusOne?
Or maybe wait until November when we actually know what will be available in November?
I probably will as a main phone but if I can get a tablet maybe...
yea but i was also wondering if there had been any leaked stuff with what maybe coming out
I dunno its kind of a stupid question
Well, there's a new iPhone coming out.

Hey guys,
I've been looking to buy a Nexus, however Im hesitant because of all the rapid improvements to smart-phones lately. Seems like just yesterday my G1 was the **** because of its 528mhz processor.. But if I were to lay down the $500+ for it, I would hate for the "Nexus 2" to come out a month later.. accompanied by the regret and face palms. Of course, I'm not expecting that specific scenario to unfold, but how long do you think the specs for the N1 will last as a competitive player in the field? And do you think it's safe to say the upcoming android updates we have yet to experience will be compatible with it?
-Thanks for your input!
The Nexus One is a great phone, but as with the G1 ALL technology is eventually replaced, I chose the nexus one becuase its Googles phone, which means if any phone has a chance to still be the beta tester for all android things to come it would be the nexus one. The Evo and Incredible are all basically re-branded Nexus One's, same hardware different software. The nexus one was my first smartphone, actually my first phone ever (my parents hate tech lol) and I've seen people with their iphones and bberries and I pull out my nexus one and KNOW without a shadow of a doubt I have the best phone. If the nexus one looks appealing to you and you are happy with what it can do, I say you wont be dissapointed. But, if you are hesitant and iffy on the purchase, perhaps wait and see whats around Androids corner. I love my nexus one and from what I see from competitive android smartphones and still think mine is the best.
-Cheers with your decision
Sell your G1, use the money towards the N1... Do it soon, buying the N1 via google won't last much longer, once retailers get ahold of it it'll cost considerably more.
The rumor/heresay is that the N2 will be out in Nov. Then just repeat the cycle of selling old, use money towards the new one.
Kind of like you're leasing the best phone at the moment
If you say n2 will come and will wait, and when the n2 comes out ou can wait for the n3. you can do two things.
Buy a new phone, and sell it after few months to buy a new one. if you sell it before a newer version comes out you can sell it almost the same price you bought it. put some extre $ and buy a new one. I do this > i had over 30 phones in my life > i'm 22 years now
or what you also can do is skip a generation. so if you buy n1 skip n2 and wait for n3 (for example). so you can use you don't have to switch phones that often.
I bought the N1 as my first smartphone and have been very happy with it. I would say it will last a while since Google demonstrated their new OS (Android 2.2) on it and also previewed the release after that on a N1. That gave me hope to know that it will work with the release of 2.2 and also the release after that. Whether they will continue to release the new OS for it after that is unknown, but there are always custom ROMs that could add functionality.
Go For It
I say buy the N1 if you like it. Yeah, there's no front-facing camera, gyroscope, or whatever else the next line of premium Android phones will all contain. It is still going to receive Google's updates first for at least another year. Also, as with the G1, the dev community is doing excellent work and should have no problem extending it's life even further beyond that. If the G1 is still going almost 2 years and numerous updates later, Nexus owners have nothing to worry about.

I don't think so. It will be aggressively priced once it hits retailers. Or may be bundled with some accessories.
Either act today, or wait 6 months. This market moves fast.
seriously this thread has been posted so many times before. just search. the nexus will be the flagship until next january for sure. it still has a long life left, so buy it and enjoy it. nexus two isnt even a rumor yet, and wouldnt be out till next year.
Motorola has a 2ghz phone hitting store before the end of the year, with 1080P vide out.
You're never gonna be "top of the line" for more than 6 months.

I already see it listed at various other places for $650+.
Somehow, I doubt that will come down once buying straight from the "manufacturer" for "cheap" is no longer an option.
So, now that the Nexus One is sold out of the Google store, do you think prices for very lightly used Nexus Ones on eBay will go up or down soon? Today I saw a new one sell for $560, while I see online retailers and Buy-it-nows for like $650. I just now saw a used Nexus One sell for $376 in the auction, and used ones I have seen are in the high-300s and 400s (although sometimes not all the original accessories are included). So I was thinking, the prices could go up because there is a higher demand for a limited supply of great phones, while also there may be a decrease in demand for a phone that could have a loss of support in the future. But I am basically wondering, how much different do you think the prices in the near future (maybe 1 month or so) on eBay will be than they are now?

It depend on what other choice people have, There's quite a few android phone coming out, in the mean time I guess some people who have the $$ will pay high price to get what they want
my advice is to not buy a Nexus One.
The nexus one is a great phone, totally worth the price and options and if you have your mind set on one, dont let anyone tell you different. However, its being a little outdone by recent phones. It doesn't make sense to buy a phone that is already being surpassed. Currently newer android phones like the Droid X or the Galaxy S line cost the same as the Nexus but have higher hardware.
My predictions for the price of the Nexus One are: Initially the price will go up, as with all technology, if something is hard to acquire the price will jump as it is valuable and you can milk the buyer. After some time the price will stabilize and begin to be less then the $530 initial price.
Yeah to tell you the truth I would rather have something like an Evo 4G or a Droid X, but those phones are locked to their respective carriers in the USA right? I live in Germany right now and will for about another year, and I would rather have a very unlocked phone like the Nexus One which I can buy from American eBay (or Google store before it closed) and ship it here to avoid paying in Euros.
The galaxy S is a very good phone from what I hear, there is also a International version of the phone.
I bought mine €427 all-in
my screen is now cracked on my nexus after a bad drop and I have been debating if i wanted to spend 530 on a new nexus for a couple weeks now.
ultimatly i couldn't convice myself to spend that much on a phone already outdated hardware wise even though the software support is first rate.
The samsung galaxy s is an awesome phone but the fact its shipping without froyo for now is a deal killer. After using froyo I can not go back to 2.1. Some people might say just buy it and wait for it to be released this fall, but there are some eye poping rumors about the HTC vision coming out.
Overall, the nexus was a GREAT phone, and without the crack I wouldnt be in the market for a new phone but spending 600+ for one doesnt make much sense now
The big bonus everyone forgets about the N1 is that its basically a dev phone.
Google pretty much wants us to tinker with it, stuff it full of roms and abuse it.
We also get alot more access to do to our phone what other carriers and makers are trying to block and stop.
Yes the hardware isnt the "newest" of the new but I would hardly call the phone outdated. Is my 2010 Fusion outdated because the 2011s are coming out? hardly. It isnt the newest on the block anymore but its still relevant and supported.
Also, I think that unless a phone comes to market with Gingerbread later this year the Nexus will probably be the first device to run this for a few months at least.
Lastly, look at the iPhone 4. I can show you a handful of reviews where even mac fans say the Nexus one closely matches that phone in performance and features and they only release one a yr. The nexus one wont be irrelevant until next summer.
I think that, until Google proves it can push an Android update to all phones simultaneously, there will always be a market for the Nexus 1.
I'm curious - if you had no working handset at the moment, had to pay full price for a handset, and didn't want to buy who potentially might be someone else's trash off Ebay or Craigslist, would you pay $265 for a BRAND NEW Nexus One ?
I had one when they first came out, and then moved up to newer and "better" handsets, either brand new or used....
My latest, the G2, which was bought off Craigslist, fried after 2 weeks of having it. I've already talked to HTC, but then say I'm looking at being without a phone for 2-3 weeks before a replacement will arrive.
So, knowing everything that is out right now, and everything that is coming, would you pay $265 for a brand new Nexus One , or shell out $500+ for a "current" or soon to be released handset?
Nexus......other than the evolution 3d or sgs2 or even maybe iPhone 5.
Edit: actually....I will by the nexus. It get quick updates plus is very hackable. Also I will be saving.up for the nexus 3!

N1 anyday ...
Nexus One everyday at that price!
Just bought my wife a G2 to replace her (submerged) MT4G.
I would've preferred to get her a Nexus (still like the N1 better than both of those). The only reason I didn't was because I didn't want her to have the same phone as me - that's one of the advantages of not having a phone from the fruit company...
Without hesitation! I can't see what any new device has to offer that i don't have already.
Biggest benefit I can see of the newer devices is FFC , more RAM, and Dual-Core CPUs...
I've been thinking about it though - other than a larger screen, the N1 did everything I wanted it to do. Only complaint I had was when I held the phone to my face with my right shoulder, because the 2nd mic on the back was covered by my shoulder, everyone I talked to said I sounded really muffled.
its a pretty hard deal to pass up getting a new nexus one at 250 dollars. you cant go wrong if you do get it. newer phones like the galaxy s2 have better gaming. but really i'd get the n1 again today if i had to.
Hopefully this is an appropriate question for this forum. I'm looking to replace my wife's N1...well, give her my N1 and get a new phone for me.
I'm considering both the Sensation and the G2X but I'm leaning towards the Sensation. I know this is an opinionated question, but does anyone on this forum have any reason to go with the G2X over the N1?
I'm hoping that non-Sense ROMs will come soon to the Sensation so that is a little bit of a concern for now.
Thoughts?

With the Galaxy 2 just around the corner and the Nexus device coming on winter is kinda the wrong time to buy a g2x or a sensation in my opinion especially with a 2yr contract.

Yup, I'm waiting for the Hercules. I don't know why I didn't consider that. Probably because they weren't on TMobile's site yet. Looks like release date is not till end of September though.
If the still shady internet rumors are true then we'll find out in about two months what the Hercules has in store.
If the even shadier internet rumors come to fruition then we'll hear more about what the Nexus 3 has in store in about four months.
Next year we are supposed to have quad-core phone chips available. Wow.
I can tell you the problem with the g2x. One the price dropped like crazy in just a few months now u can get it on ebay for 300 when ppl bough it for 200 with a 2 contract your better off buying it off contract or waiting 2 more months and getting for 200. The sensation the problem that sense turn into a drag more than a benefit takes alot of space and ram it slows down your device. Now everyone is bragging how good the Galaxy S 2 is so it must be fast as hell and the Next Nexus lets hope it comes out on T-Mo with all the AT&T drama.
FYI, K-Mobs is working on getting CM7 up and running on the Sensation. He is fairly far along with development (although there haven't been any public releases just yet). I would probably expect nightlies to hit within a few weeks (if not sooner).
But, as others have mentioned, phones are changing quickly. In my mind, I couldn't justify getting a new device so close to the N3 release without knowing what the N3 will be. So, I would wait a few months and see what the N3 will bring to the table. Then decide on that.
The Nexus 6 obviously has preorders beginning tomorrow. Lots of excited people it would seem.
That being said im not a preorder kind of guy, I usually walk myself to the VZW store near me and just buy the device when it releases. Maybe im confusing things a bit, but googling around seems to come up with a release date of the 29th...which is the preorder date and not the actual release date.
Maybe people care about preordering a lot, as the stuff apparently goes fast, however their never a line at our VZW shop. When I got the Galaxy Nexus last time I arrived at the store early and literally no line or anything. I am expecting the same for Nexus 6.
As im sure you expect from reading this, I would like to know the actual release date. In a guess maybe you guys dont know, thats cool, but on the off chance that you do and im missing the obvious can someone inform me? In my head it would seem silly to provide a preorder date without a hard release date being said as well but I guess weirder things have happened.
nobody knows the release date from Google, we now 5.0 L images for Nexus devices are going to roll out on Nov 3 and Tmobile release is Nov 12, so is fair to expect it will happen sometime in between those dates imo
Yeah it would be nice to know the release date. It would also be nice to know when the carriers were planning on directly selling the device, as well as the colors and options they would be selling.
