Why on earth nexus one is more expensive than desire??
For me, in the US, the desire WAS more expensive, since it was not subsidized. Now it can be, and it's 1/3 the price. Every smart phone is going to be in the $500-$600 range at full price. I see the Nexus One's pricetag of $571 (i think thats what it was when I got it) being reasonable, since I'm buying it off contract. The Desire's pricetag was more since I was forced to buy it from a random website. If I was lucky I would be spending $600.
I guess nexus one need to be more at price tag compare to htc desire cos google put more effort on develop software n hardware pick choose but later those htc just take all the credit n copycat the google ideas into other htc phone include the stupid desire. I never be a fan of htc phone cos they are from china company and sell their phone more expensive. I buy nexus one bcos of google n hate the htc logo on that phone. Why google choose stupid htc to manucfacture their google phone.

i checked the price in most of the sellers, it's Between 60$-100$ difference...!
Come on HTC is VERyVEry GooD, Why dO U hAtE HTC So mUcH..?
Another question, do u prefer trackball one (in nexus) to optical one (in desire), Why?
I thought HTC was a US Company? The build quality of HTC phones are usually very good. Plus both the Nexus One and Desire are built by HTC.
The reason why the Nexus one is so expensive now is that you CAN'T buy it anymore from google. So if anyone has a new Nexus One... it will go for a pretty penny. The Nexus One is so desired (pun intended) because of the first hand google support that we recieve.
We've had an Official Froyo rom for months where every other phone is just starting to roll out soon. This will be the same with Gingerbread as well... where MOST phones today, if any, will ever see Gingerbread officially.
The Desire, like other phones, will only get hack n' slash Gingerbread roms.

HTC made the Desire and the Nexus One. Google only produced the software.
Officially HTC announced plans for a 1Ghz 2.1 device with 576 RAM before they started producing the Nexus One for Google.

HTC are a Taiwanese company.
If you put High Technology Corporation into Wikipedia or Google you will find their true roots!
It's more expensive because it has that fancy audio chip with dual mic noise cancellation that Desire doesn't have.
N1 is more expensive cos its the king
Also, the N1 is a Developers device which gives it many more options...
Fancy Audio Chip, What's it for ??
Do u prefer nexus one to desire with 75$ cost more, Or u Choose desire..?

Does anyone know of any good phones coming to T-Mobile by December 2010 of this year? My upgrade ends in December, and I really want a new phone, lol. This G1 is started to become really outdated and I was selling some stuff to Walmart to make some money and saw they had phones like the Nexus One, HTC HD2, etc that are all better than the G1 currently. Do you guys think I should get one of the current phones out right now and if so could you suggest one, or is there a promising phone coming by the end of this year that I should just wait for? Also how much would it cost to renew my 2 year upgrade since it isn't up yet? Thanks.
http://phandroid.com/2010/04/16/what-phone-are-you-getting-in-the-next-4-months/ Something to check out, HTC Incredible on Verizion. But then again Verizion is cdma if I'm not mistaken...HTC Legend looks slick also.
Thanks for that. Seems as if T-Mobile is only getting that Samsung Galaxy right?
ill name some. ummm htc desire, htc hd2 mini, htc g3, htc snapdragon
G3? Is that new G1 or something, lol.
I ordered a Nexus One from the Google Market through the developer program, When it arrived last Friday and was DOA.
I called Google Support they confirmed it was DOA and sent me to HTC for a replacement.
I called HTC and they have no record of IMIE or serial number of the phone and sent me to Brightstar the distributor for Google handling orders for Nexus One.
I left 3 voicemails and eventually received an email from them asking what was wrong. I emailed them back with the IMIE and the fact HTC could not help me.
Did not hear anything back, emailed them again on Monday. Got a short response saying she passed it on to Brightstar buyer.
Then nothing, I emailed Tuesday no response.
I called Google Wednesday and after they called Brightstar was told there was nothing more they could do and something would happen ‘soon’
I emailed Brightstar again and was told to contact HTC, although I had already done this I called again anyway and once again was told they have no record of the phone and because it is a developer phone I must go to Brightstar. Although HTC at least escalated the problem.
I emailed Brightstar 2 more times yesterday asking for a refund and have had no response at all.
So at the moment we are almost a week later and I have a DOA phone, they have my money and it appears no one wants to solve the problem…
Hey Google show some responsibility here.. YOUR name is on the phone and Brightstar is YOUR distributor.
Come on Google how do I get my money back?????
Via your credit card issuer.
I wouldn't worry too much, DOA is recognized everywhere as something that needs replacing/refunding. And as rusty said, if worst comes to worst use your credit card company.
Problem is I can't get anyone to assume responsibility for the replacement. Google says not them , Brightstar says HTC and HTC says Brightstar.
this senario seems very similar to the support thing before google opened a support site.
I agree with what others are saying. Give them a little more time to sort it out and then go to your credit card company and demand a charge back. It could be that they are still working out the kinks involved with selling the N1 as a developer phone.
on a side-note:
did the packaging of your N1 say AMOLED screen oder SLCD?
I'm thinking about buying another Nexus One and selling my AMOLED N1, but of course only if the dev phone has SLCD screen. (hate the Pentiles and color saturation of AMOLED).
visa can issue you a chargeback if you file a claim
Call up your CC company, they'll get in touch with Google, and you'll have your refund/replacement asap.

I even contacted the company responsible for delivering the nexus one dev phone, and they told me that they haven't heard anything about an nexus one with slcd.
Well it was just some women from the customer support, i don't expect them to know such details but at least it seems like there are currently enough AMOLED screen N1 available trough dev program.
Good for those who still want AMOLED, bad for those who can't wait to give away their amoled version for an slcd with much better resolution....
Apparently google is out of stock.

oh really. so no more dev phone N1 available? that could mean that we will soon see the Nexus One SLCD emerge!
Did you pay with a credit card? Then tell them it is broke/DOA, you aren't paying for it and want your money back, get them involved.

Sorry to thread jack, but if you really want the Nexus One with an SLCD, your best best might be to find a way to purchase a Telus HTC Desire from Canada. It's only $449 off contract though I'm not sure how to actually buy one if you aren't a Telus client... ebay or kijiji.ca maybe?
http://www.telusmobility.com/en/AB/htc_desire/index.shtml?INTCMP=ILCq3htc
It's basically an N1 with an SLCD, only it's significantly cheaper, and it's still possible to run Cyanogen on it if you don't like Sense UI.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750888&
Edit: This phone is for AT&T 3G so if you are on T-Mobile this might not be useful to you.
Well I can get an HTC desire with slcd in Germany too. But will I be able to unlock the bootloader so I.can flash the stock froyo Rom and get all further updates OTA? Like on a real nexus one? I'm not that much interested in custom roms...

Don't know why everybody wants SLCD. It's no better than AMOLED. Search for videos on youtube SLCD vs. AMOLED, the latter one is an obvious win.
The videos are a bad joke and nonsense, because you don't see the difference of resolution quality. The only thing you see is that AMOLEDS have deeper blacks but that's a given. I had a Motorola milestone, so I have a real live comparison between Amoled vs. lcd. And I know how much better lcds reproduces text and natural colours. Don't rely on bad YouTube videos to judge this.

That's perfectly fine. Some people prefer the over saturation of those AMOLEDS. But regarding resolution I just have to say one word: pentiles.

Well I finally got tired of my INCS, came from a Nexus One and i missed it, i ordered my galaxy nexus and it comes tomorrow! Development isnt as strong for this phone and thats another reason I dont like it that much but still a nice phone, im just getting tired of HTC phones because they all look the same with their HTC sense lol
I don't see why u would dump this phone for Gnex... Dude.... If I were dumping it... I would go for rezound or wait for CES.... U know u will be disappointed if something wonderful comes up at CES... Just wait if u can.... To avoid disappointment... I bought this phone after this years CES announcement and will wait till next CES....

well i basically dont want it anymore because i dont like the look and feel of it anymore, plus i love nexus phones, still miss my N1 ):
I don't want to bash you as a defector or anything, but given its lack of support in development terms, I can certainly understand why you would want to change. I think you could have done better than a Gnex though. A lot of very promising contenders out there with a lot more going for them.
Anyway, hope you find happiness with whatever device you choose.
Good luck.

I agree that the development is not as strong for the INCS but..... the build quality of the INCS is amazing, as a phone this is my personal favorite i have owned quite a few smart phones in my time, form BB to IPhone and even as far back as the HTC tilt titan.. haha ya i know thats very dated. I dont think you will find any better build quality than a htc. In my exsperiances with samsung products they are built very cheap and are spit out a dime a dozen. if you go back to the origonal nexus i belive even that was built by HTC as well. In my opinion i would have wated for a different modle then the samsung, again just my opinion.
have a good one
Anyone going to switch from the vivid to the One? idk how i feel about htc after this phone, i mean its a great phone and all but htc bent us over and showed us the 50 states. thank god for the devs. But the phone looks awesome and its sleek as hell too.
I will be ordering one as soon as its available. 1080p display, 2gb ram, infrared behind the power button (I've missed that sooo much in my smart phones since my Treo).. I'm excited lol

Wait about 2 months and HTC will probably come out with another revolutionary phone
What happened to the Droid DNA? The DNA has only been out for 3 months and HTC is already forgetting it.
I believe the answer is somewhere in the neighborhood of "When donkeys and pigs gain aerodynamic and sustained aerial motion" or the successful cloning of a flying Pigasus, whichever happens first... I'm tired of the 1 software upgrade and we're through with you mentality, the fact that you had to do a physical hardware short circuit to S-off and the point that the HTC One contains no easily changed battery, no place to put a microSD card...no, no..(clickty clacky keyboard noises) Computer says NO-o-o-o-o!
The DNA was released for Verizon only. All other major us carriers are getting the one, except verizon. HTC has already announced that 'the one' will be the only one series device in 2013. I understand everyone's setbacks. But I'm not passing up on a hardware beauty like this one. Not to mention it looks like every major dev team is planning on getting at least one. Check out the thread in the one general section to see who all is on board. Also everyone's favorite dev will have one too lol @jon

I agree the specs and looks of the phone makes me drool.they are not releasing the one for Verizon cause of the dna
So I guess they haven't completely forgotten about their customers haha. But I do want the phone real bad. Also I'm curious to see since its the only flag ship they are releasing how often they keep it updated .

Despite the incredibly large amount of times HTC pisses me off, I still plan on getting the HTC One as soon as I can afford it. I like the Vivid but The One looks like a phone I am actually willing to buy at the non-contract price

Wait.. this doesn't mean you will stop developing for the vivid, right?
The one actually is appealing though. And HTC is actually doing a good job marketing, unlike the vivid lol

Nope...I'm going back to Samsung...gonna get me the sgs4 as soon as its released...I mean...its gonna blow everything out of the water and every dev team will have one guaranteed...not to mention how easy it is to root and flash rims on Samsung devices...no locked bootloader to deal with...no s off to deal with
I gave HTC a shot and I'm done with them :/ I hate having to unlock the bootloader...and s off - that's just stupid...they honestly make it so hard to customize your phone...heck it be easier to jailbreak an iPhone than get an HTC phone setup for Rom flashing, then you got the crappy source...and extra security measures...(in-call Mic issues for att users) - who's to say they won't do the same on the one....if the s off process is anything like the vivids...well good luck with that as I'm pretty sure the one doesn't have a removable battery /end rant
I guess you could call me a Samsung fan boy

I won't pay retail for it but when my upgrade comes I'll get it.
My gf has one, and she loves it. I couldn't get it, though, because it doesn't have SD card expansion. I love my SD card way too much, so I got the Vivid instead. Couldn't be happier.
My one X is s-off a new method recently came out to do it, and it's nothing like the Vivid was cause I owned that to, never bothered to try s-off due to the stupid method.
HTC is doing a stupid move by removing microSD slots from their newer phones. We aren't babies, I'm tired of HTC treating us only a few years older then Apple does their users.
With all that being said, I'm not wasting hundreds and hundreds on a device that can't even include the basics like access to the battery and a MicroSD slot. This is day one **** HTC. I WON'T be getting a one, actually selling my HTC one X right now to switch brands. Sad sad thing.

I bought my HTC one x last summer and love it but i really like the new htc one, do ye think it be worth to upgrade to it?
You just gotta try it out, no one can tell you whether it'll be worth it for you to upgrade
I really hate these threads.
But anyway, if you have a one x like moi, its not really worth it, we`ll have sense 5 (some version of it anyway) in a few months, so whats the point in spending all that money for not a lot extra.
On the other hand I have it on order, but I spend too much money, a habit I need to resolve.
I had the one x+, No have the One - No regrets.
The One is more than just sense 5. It's a whole new ball game :good:
I just orderd the HTC one im probably stupid as hell to be paying money for a new phone since i have the htc one x, tried talking my self out of it but did not work ha.

Well my thing is the speakers... fed up of not being able to hear video without headphones unless im watchin the back of my phone.
Still 500 quid is a lot for 2 little speakers.
Definitely a good upgrade for me. I had the one X and the One is just faster and has better battery life. Not to mention the speakers. I did however prefer the One X's camera. In terms of build quality.. Both phones are rugged and tbh I'm not afraid to go caseless on both. I can't really see the difference in screen quality - the one X was just that good.
The biggest seller for me is definitely the look of the phone. I've been waiting for the day when there's an android phone as good looking as the iPhone. The One actually looks better. (I got the black and it looks sleek).
I think the One X could have lasted me another year, but I had the money so I just went for it. It's what you prefer that matters. I suggest going to a store and trying it out. Watch a whole load of review videos on YouTube (although you probably have ;D). Good luck!
