I just ordered my Nexus One at its exorbitant price of $529 and almost chose the engrave my phone feature but didnt really want to wait extra time and it won't be seen anyhow.... I was going to put 'iPhone Killa' and maybe 'F$%k Apple!'.....
Anyways, just wondering if you engraved your phone and what did you put?
i was going to put "touch me...thats what she said" (corny i kno) but reading through the disclaimers on the site, i decided not to
I was going to engrave it as well, but decided not to because of the non-refundable part.
Nope. I was thinking about selling my N1 in a year or so, and I didnt think the buyer would appreciate the engrave.
I almost did, but I bought mine on launch day and feared the engraving would delay my overnight shipment.
Come to find out, it's not an engraving, but a silk-screen type process... also doesn't delay the shipping of your phone.
Now that I have it, I'm glad I didn't do it.
I went for it. *shrug* It was free.

You think that there would actually be someone looking for a second hand year-or-two old phone that would actually pay more than the cost of SHIPPING for it? Not worth selling!
I purchased my N1 on Craigslist for $325.00 about a month ago. The reason it was so cheap? "Michael & Sasha - Always" was engraved on the back.
I personally don't care what the phone says on the back but I'm sure w few people will which means the phone will be harder to sell in the long run.

Or atleast take the phone back
anyways: i hear that the most didn't engrave it at the last minute. Is it because all of you plan to sell your nexus?
I got zKiLLA put on mine
There was a long ass thread dedicated to this back in early January when the phone was released... You're exactly 5 months late to the day.
well im sorry for the useless thread then, but I didn't buy my nexus one in january, i bought it in june
did not engrave incase i decided to re sell.. the nice thing about a no contract plan
wish i had gotten "not the droid you are looking for"
i think that wouldn't have hurt the resale
Is it??????????
Nope. The G2X will be available in t-mobile stores on April 20th 10:00am.
Technically yes, but no cause they cant sell it to you yet. How I know because I held one and a gslate on a tmobile store, not a display item but the real working deal.

You couldn't take the 5 seconds to type "t-mobile g2x" into a search engine? Instead you took the minutes to clutter the forum with a useless thread? Oy vey
Go down to the store. Tell them you want to see the demo they got in the back. That's what I did. The chick looked at me and said, "what makes you think we already have one?" Ok, right sweettits, give up the goods. She smiled then went to the back and got it.
I have to say, for the 5 min I played with it, I love it. I doubt they will sell out but I talked her into holding one for me till I got off work. And got her number. WIN!

It was the sweet-tits comment, they love that.
Yesterday, the store next to my office let me play with a functioning demo model. They said they do have them in stock but couldn't sell one to me as it isn't in their systems yet.

except it was a guy so no sweettits or phone number but man that phone is fast i do wish the speakers were a little louder but its standable and for those dieing for the htc kick stand they had a belt clip case and the clip turns into a kickstand for both portrait and landscape. and the picture looks great. dont know if its better or worse than others but it is better than my droid and looked great.
^^^Thank you good sir, I will be hunting down this super case as soon as my G2X comes in the mail.
Btw, for all those who ordered the G2X online/over the phone, when I got my G2 back when it released online earlier than the street date I called my local store and asked if they had accessories and they said that they had them, but couldn't sell them yet as the phone wasn't out. But after I told them I had already got the phone online they told me to bring it in and they let me buy whatever accessories I wanted.

So, today I was on my way to work. Had to leave a little early so I could make a pit stop at the gas station and get me a Rockstar and fill the tank up. Filled up the tank, ran inside to get my drink, and was completely pissed off when I came back out.
Someone stole my damn phone! Laying right there on my seat, broad daylight (8am) and they took my damn phone.
After frantically looking around the car and inside the store, I came to the conclusion that yes, someone actually stole my damn phone. A fellow soldier that was parked behind me waiting to get gas, luckily got the license plate number of the car and a very good description of the little punk $#@(^&%$^# that took it.
Called the MPs and we both told them what happened. Their reply was "well if the car drove off base, then we can't really do anything."
My reply was "Ok so I just wasted 45 minutes of time waiting on you guys to get here? I knew I should have called REAL cops."
Let me get to the good part real quick. So I call the local police and tell them what happened and they came right over (5-10 minutes tops). Other soldier gave them a description and the license plate, next thing I know there's smoke and dust from the local police flying out of there to get my phone back. (Very awesome of them.)
Then the other soldier said something that made me want to smack myself until I passed out. "If only you had one of those apps where you could track your phone by the GPS." Way to kick a guy while he's down right?
Then it donned on me...........****ing SEEK DROID! I installed that app and registered online the day after I got my Revo! Here's my train of thought after that:
1. Yes I have that app!
2. Crap no I don't because I rooted and did a factory reset without backing up my apps (like an idiot).
3. Doesn't matter, get online and try to look for it anyway, the GPS was enabled on the phone so I should still be able to track it.
Called my superior and told them what happened, said I had to run home real fast and that I would be a little late. So I get home, throw open my netbook and get online, head to Seek Droids website and POW! There's my phone, traveling down the H3 freeway. Instantly pulled out the cops card that he gave me, called him and led him straight to the little bastards that stole my phone.
Thinking that I am going to get my phone back, I start cheering the cops on. Feeling like James Bond or something, telling them where to turn, how fast they were going, what intersection they were passing. It was getting very intense.
(By the way, I'm on the cops cellphone with him as the chase is happening)
I can hear him say over the phone that "the passenger is rolling down his window." I'm thinking "oh my god these idiots are gonna shoot at the cops?"
Now, what do almost all people do, when they're driving a car (a stolen car at that) that has drugs in it and they're being chased by the police?
You guessed it, they threw my phone out the ****ing window. I don't even get to have the pieces of it because "it might have fingerprints." This is probably one of the worst days of my damn life right? It gets a lot worse with this little bit of info.......I didn't buy the insurance. So please forgive me if I don't seem like I'm in the best of moods right now. I am without my Revo now, didn't buy the insurance, no upgrade available yet, and no money to buy a new phone. Life just ****ing sucks right now.

Actually that was one of my biggest concerns. I was working on the MIUI theme and still needed to update some of the other themes.
I can still finish the themes, problem is I have no phone to test them out. All I need is a tester and the themes will continue. I'm not gonna stop just because I don't have a phone anymore.
Sorry bud... but it was a hell of a story!! I will test for you.. dev on mine is going soooo slow I might just wait for cyanogen if it ever comes. Theme chooser themes seem easier.
Where did you get buttons from? I have tried just changing the color of existing buttons but it looks like ass.

Most of them I just edited the colors from the stock Revolt ROM buttons. Also, you can try to find a MIUI theme and ask the creator if you can use his. Then all you have to do is copy them over. I used paint.NET for most of my image editing and would sometimes just changed the hue/saturation of the image.
****ty dude. Maybe they will catch the guys and make them buy you a new phone haha. Also, I've never had to use the insurance on my phone but I've had it since I got my OG Droid like 2 years or so ago. I would be glad to let you borrow it of need be. It's rooted with some random ROM on it. Wiped clean.

No money, gonna have to wait until the 1st to get a new phone. I talked to Verizon and they said if I fax them a copy of the police report, they will go ahead and let me upgrade as soon as I have the money to get a phone.
This is the very definition of excellent customer service on the part of Big Red. I had no insurance at all, the warranty only covered "unintentional damage" but they are going to let me upgrade anyway. I have already faxed over the police report so now I just have to call them when I have money and give them my case reference number and I'll be good to go!

UPDATE:
Just wanted to say first of all, thank you to everyone who is sympathizing and everyone who has offered to donate money for me to get another Revo.
However, I can't accept your donations. Verizon really screwed me over and is now saying that they can't let me upgrade early because 1- I didn't have insurance on the phone, and 2 - I'm unable to send the stolen (and shattered) phone back to them. I'm extremely pissed off at Verizon right now. I probably won't switch carriers or anything but getting another Revo right now is pretty much out of the picture. The only way I can get one now is through a third party like craigslist.org or swappa.com . I can buy one from Verizon but they want me to pay full retail and there's no way in hell I'm paying $550 for a phone.
Looks like it's back to the drawing board for me, I'm still trying to think of ways I can get a Revo for cheap but it's not looking good. I saw one on craigslist in my area for only $200 so I checked it out, problem with it was that it didn't come with a charger....just the phone. Which can only mean 1 thing, it's probably stolen. No one sells a phone in "like new" condition, without a charger. Still looking though guys, wish me luck!

The only thing I feel like I need right now, is a ride up to Verizon to just start punching people in the face. Can't believe they pulled that crap. I should have known it sounded too good to be true.
They will make them pay for your phone I would go on Verizon website asap to print out scoot of what the phone cost now and if you have to go to court your can show that to the judge and they will have to pay all of it not the 2 year contact price. I know it might be awhile for that to happen but you need to get a copy of what the phone cost so the judge had something to go by..

Just a thought: If it was stolen from your car, is there a possibility you could make a claim against your comprehensive auto insurance? If your deductible is less than $550, you're at least that much closer.

Never used a Nexus 4 so can't compare, I did however make the jump up from the HTC One X, a very powerful handset although highly underrated by the general public...
It was a good jump up, I am astounded constantly by my One, sometimes even just picking it up to hold it in my hands, not doing anything with it, just nice to hold it

I think it's a worth while upgrade, I don't believe that you'd regret it.
It might be a good idea to wait for a little bit until the first batches are gone and you can get a 2nd batch handset.
I've got no issues really with mine, it's a decent handset and I love it harder than any phone I've ever owned.
I think the fact that you're asking this in the 'One' threads is a bit hit & miss as we're probably more biased towards getting one than not but then again we can give you an accurate idea of what the handset is like... swings & roundabouts.

Pikey is as pikey does. If you can't afford the ride you're a spectator
It's well worth an upgrade. It's a step change in design and functionality.

I got my invite today, $1,500 and Glass can be mine.
I've been really intrigued by glass since it was announced.
I'm not a programmer but a tech. enthusiast who would really like to take advantage of some of the features of glass.
I like the idea of having the navigation on my heads up while driving, as well as seeing messages/emails etc.
So... what do you think... is it worth it, will it come down in price next year?
I can spend the $1500... but SHOULD I!?
LOL.
Thanks all.

got one yesterday as well. ordered for pickup. however if you don't pick up they refund the money to your card. Still debating.......
It is really neat, but it also has a lot of shortfalls. Primarily battery life.
AND It's a lot of money
I got an invite to google glass yesterday, and was also wondering if I should do it. Does anyone know what happens if a new cheaper version comes out? Do you have to buy it again?
Also I can't see why this would be an issue but does anyone know if glass works on phones using custom ROMs?
Google has said that the current XE-C is, hardware-wise, what the commercial version will be. They already allowed the owners of XE-B to exchange theirs for XE-C for free, so if Google did make further changes then I bet they'd do it again.
I am running CM11 and have no issues. I would not expect there to be, so long as the ROM has a proper Bluetooth stack.

Yes it works with roms. Play store has an app that you download to phone, and set up glass that way. You can wifi and bluetooth to your phone for calls, sms etc. I have a note 3 rommed and using them now. IMO- they are not $1500 cool. May be sending mine back within the 30 days... still playing with them
