Is it a verizon exlusive or can it be used with T-Mobile, and if it can be unlocked to work with t-mobile will the 3g.. etc work?

No. CDMA=no SIM. and if it is a CDMA world phone I doubt people will be able to hack the SIM slot and unlock it. And even if they did it is not equiped with a T-mo US 3G radio.

eh. damn, that phone is supposed to be the best android phone yet

Have u seen the Motorola Cliq that's comming to tmob very soon...

That's an ugly cheap toy. Sorry had to say it. T-mobile needs to step up the game again. They missed out on the great Hero. Hopefully they get the "Dragon" first.

Feeling some mad buyer's remorse over purchasing a MT3G ~2 months ago.
Oh well.
also, +1 for Dragon on T-mo

MT3G.... oh My Touch 3G.... I like T-MO red the most. Not a bad looking phone in person. Think of it this way. When your 2yr contract is up there will beter phones than the ones coming out in 2010.

There IS a GSM Droid coming though for Telus Mobility in Canada which is switching over to HSDPA along with Bell. CDMA is getting phased out in Canada.

Yep, CDMA RIP (include the USA as well)! Such a waste of "space"

Yeah, with LTE (4G), the whole world should be following a unified standard hopefully on not more than two frequencies.

Oh, I hope they use more than two frequencies otherwise there will be too much interference

Very interested in the Motorola Droid.
Questions about Android...
Can you get real time push hotmail?
Is there a wifi router app?
Is there a logmein app?
Is there an orb app (or able to stream from orb site)?
Thanks in advance...

I doubt you'll have an interference problem, being that the rest of the world has the same standard it's only the states now that don't use one standard (we have to always be different). I'm on the bandwagon with CDMA being phased out, even if it is better tech (I don't agree with that statement I'm just saying....) with the rest of the world on GSM it's hard to come out with a good phone that will support either or both.

Will we be getting a special forum for the droid here on XDA?

I have no idea at all sorry.
Try googleing for Android forums. I'm sure they are out there.

I too am slightly concerned about that. We'll need to get to work on rooting the thing as soon as possible. Has anyone started digging into the thing who has a review unit?
We certainly need to find a central location to collaborate.

Where can I buy the Nexus One 850/1900?

Become google devoloper and buy the devoloping phone called nexus one. Also you can try to buy g2 and change it with stupid nexus one users, who thongs that g2 is somehow better.

Your best bet would be ebay or craigslist. There are some AT&T/Rogers banded N1's on ebay. Like a previous post said, the one you get by getting a Dev account is T-Mobile banded. I will say though that the ones on ebay are pretty out of line on pricing. Good luck to you!

I'll trade you my very well taken care of N1 AT&T/Rogers version for a shiny new G2.....
Not really!
I love my N1

It's best if you go on craigslist/kijiji or even RFD if you want an 850/1900 nexus one. Usually the prices are more reasonable than on ebay.

Yes I have seen some on Craigslist reasonably priced. The ones I have seen on eBay are too expensive, but its all about what you are willing to pay. Also be careful on eBay as well because there are some pretty convincing Chinese knockoffs that are being sold as well. I saw one that was fake as hell sold for almost $400 and it was a $90 phone. Good luck!

Get one for 480$ from Videotron without a contract.
http://www.videotron.com/service/mobile/appareils/details.do?lang=ENGLISH&noAppareil=1012&init=true
If they accept to sell you one without being a mobile service customer, you will have to wait a little since it is B/O presently.

That link is for a tmo version.

Quick Q!!!

hiu guys i have a question qith so many phones out there and so many OS mobile platforms, i would like to know: first of all im currently with T-Mobile US Prepaid Iphone 4.0.1 Jailbroken and unlocked
i would like to know should i stay with T-Mo and get an android phone with them, or get the EVO 4G and go with Sprint?
what do you guys think cause i want a fast and reliable phone
thanks in advanced

Depends on where you live. If Sprint is faster and more reliable in your area go with that, and vice versa.
Now if you are in NYC, then thats a whole different story because all the carriers here suck. lol

Evo? You mean that phone that they cloned after our beloved HD2 that we had in 2009? In your case since your on TMoUS I say you get MT4G or G2. Its almost same so see which you like as G2 has keyboard, also stay away from SamSUX device like old.Vibrant 4G or Nexus S.
Sent from my HTC Glacier

Yep, G2 is awesome, and I'm unlocked on AT&T. lol

I'd rather an EVO 4G,

Update around the bend?

Just read on intomobile.com that the One is getting an update overseas and that the states could be soon to follow. If you're interested I provided a link to the story:

I doubt that it'll come anytime soon. On the S3 the international version got premium suite about 8 months ago and the carrier versions got it just yesterday. And HTC is even slower to release updates than Samsung

The EVO (all of them) were just rebranded Int'l phones. The Evo 4G LTE was the HTC One X (or similar variant - can't remember exactly). The Evo 3D was the only world wide launched "Evo" while the rest were just a new name on an HTC flagship.

Maybe, but think of it in terms of updates. They're going to push updates for the international versions before the carrier versions because they dont need to go through extra steps. And they dont need to make sure that its working with the chipset, bands, etc.

Getting HTC one.. Sprint or Tmo

Not sure if this should go here or not.. But I've been watching the One since it was announced.
And I'm currently on the old $30/month plan from Tmo with an HTC Amaze..
Unfortunately I to get the one from Tmo the require $379 down which is a lot of money at once and will also up my bill to $70
But I also have the option to get one someones Sprint plan and get a One for $99...
But just looking thought the forum, its looking like the GSM One is getting better Dev support
Along with Google ports.
An another possible problem that comes to mind... is CDMA..
I was on sprint awhile ago and Had a HTC Hero and the battery drain was HORRIBLE compared to the my Magic. Not sure if that is still an issue with the new LTE stuff...
But yeah, my real question is, should I go for the Sprint One or hold out a bit and get the Tmo One?

To my knowledge, you're not going to have a significant battery difference between CDMA and GSM. Updates will almost always be slower for us in the Sprint world because GSM variants tend to be more common worldwide, but the devs here work plenty hard. I'd check the forum though yourself to see if there're any ROMs you actually like the look of instead of taking someone else's word on how "good" dev is.
Price-wise, you might be better off going prepaid on T-Mobile, but then you'd need an unlocked GSM One, and that's dicey stuff.

Tmo is the way to go imho. I thought about getting the one when I got my nexus....it's about the only phone I'd consider other than my nexus. I chose the nexus because of the bang for your buck factor and dev support. I'm happy with my choice but I still love the one! Really a beautiful phone, with the guts to match....good luck

Yeah, go Tmo. Once you go CDMA, you shall never escape...

T mobile if you can afford it.
You can fully convert it to GPe or dev unlocked edition. It gets more support.
I read somewhere that only Sprint has working Google Wallet, though.
Coverage wise, it depends. Tmo is fantastic here (at least, the HSPA was), but Sprint doesn't even cover some of the places it says has "Good/better 3g".
As someone above said, you should check out the prepaid plans. It might be cheaper/better in the long run if you buy unlocked and just put in a prepaid card. Even if you will go over the data/minutes, the overages may still be cheaper than a contract.

Personally I'm staying on Sprint because they are making moves to make a triband network, as opposed to tmo which is a single band network. But at the moment Sprint is just terrible.

Tmo base everything off of your credit check when they run it. For example, my cousin was told he he had to put down $500 and I was told $100.
However I chooses to come back to Sprint because I think they have good things coming ahead and plus Tmo service here where I live is little to nonexistent

I'm on the $30 plan right now. But to finance a phone for me its 3xx down and sixty something a month.
And those 100 minutes burn up FAST.
In the long run sprint is actually going to be cheaper because I'm getting on an existing plan for 20-30 a month for unlimited everything.
But I'm still not sure I want to go CDMA...
I live in Columbus so coverage for both sprint and tmo is great..
