My first thread was in the Desire section and we got on the topic of the Nexus One not being sold through Google anymore but now its dead all together There's an article on mashable dot com that tells how its all being halted.

It was widely heralded as the first real “Google Phone” and now it will soon be laid out to pasture. If you were hoping to get your hands on the Google Nexus One smartphone, I highly suggest you do it very soon, because Google has placed its final order with HTC for the device. After stock from this shipment is depleted Google will no longer be selling the Nexus One through its official online store. Nada. No more. Kaput. You have plenty of other options in the Android realm, like the HTC Droid Incredible, but the Nexus One holds a special place in cell phone history.
That’s the bad news, but there are two smaller tidbits of good news. First, Google will continue to offer support through its customer service lines. So, if you already have one of these devices in hand, you can still get help when you need it. Second, Google is looking for a way to continue selling the Nexus One through a sales partner, but these sales will be restricted to registered app developers.
I guess you go out and buy just about any other Google Android device offered through your carrier of choice, but those oftentimes contain some carrier-specific doo-dahs. The Nexus One is, as far as we can tell, the only true clean-slate and completely unlocked Android that you can get on a very official basis.

And it's complete nonsense, as is the other exact same thread as this one.
Not hardly dead...Still plenty of life & development in our Nexus

For f**k's sake, stop trolling the panic.
How many topics a day do we need about this?!
FOR THE LAST F*CKING TIME:
Nexus One's ONLY purpose and the SOLE reason for existence was to promote android and show what it can do on a good hardware. They planned to have Nexus 2 to continue pushing android. Since so many companies like HTC/Motorola/Samsung jumped on an Android band-wagon, Google officially stopped Nexus TWO development and slowing down (NOT STOPPED!!!!!!!) Nexus One sales.
As per Google's CEO own words, "NEXUS ONE WAS SO SUCCESSFULL, THAT WE DON'T NEED NEXUS TWO."
If your brain is so tiny that it can't understand that Nexus One was a huge success for what it was intended for, and that Google NEVER intended to make money on phones directly, then I beg you, please go hang out on iPhone forums where you'll find your kin.
Jesus holy Christ.

I sold my Nexus on Craigslist on Friday. Bought a Vibrant Thursday. After holding that phone for 1 second I knew I had to have it. Screen was downright AMAZING! I love what the Nexus gave me but this is the nature of technology and you can lament it or accept it.
They saying shouldn't be "if you've got nothinng nice to say, say nothing at all" it should be "if you're an idiot, stop talking".

DarkDvr may I have another?
Took the words right out of my mouth...
That's good news, if the phone won't be available discounted through carriers, it will remain rare!!!! A true gem!
As long as we're be able to run Gingerbread when it's released it would keep me happy for many more months
Actually you can still buy one, you just have to pay $25 for the developer channel i think.
Just got off the phone with Google.
Nexus 4 will be available for purchase at 12:01am PST - World wide.
Those of you in EST, it will be 3:01am.
The waiting begins!
We know, but thanks for a somewhat confirmation-ish
There's already a massive thread on this here, but thanks.
Please use the existing threads.
Thanks

Many people have been toying with the idea that, the Nexus 4, being a Nexus device, could be riddled with bugs and glitches at the time of release, and thus have only placed a small amount of stock for sale so those issues only stay among a small amount of people.
The guys at Google, instead of testing for hours on end, let the public do so, and then check up on sites, like this one, for issues people have with the phone and thus fix it up. This could explain why the Bumpers are already stocked, but the phones themselves are looking to be released Black Friday, several days after, and this time, with a whole lot more stock as they have to take into account the back orders, as well poor guys like me who missed out.
What are your thoughts on this?
Wouldn't that be unfair to the people who managed to buy it out first? I mean they are essentially paying the same amount for a phone that is supposed to have the kinks sorted out already, not pay to have a phone in beta testing. But I really hope this is the case, and Google not only sorts out these issues but also offers compensation to the early adopters as to make everyone happy and fair!
Tin Foil Hat time for you i think...
Where did you see stocked bumpers?

It's sold out in the US Google Play store...
If that's true then we'll be seeing an update from Google shortly after the second batch go out?
Negative, the nexus one was the trial run.

Doubtful. I just don't think Google anticipated it being quite so popular. Worst of all, they allowed you to purchase up to 5 in one hit, which more then a handful of people did. 1-2 max on launch and up to a week or two after in my opinion. This would have ensured 'a lot' more people actually got a phone and it would have stopped eBay being flooded with N4's by people looking to make a quick buck.
Every nexus phone is trails . We get it test it Google updates other OEM make there phones with the new version. As far are you tin foil hat about a multi billion dollar company not testing I doubt that

How could the 4th generation of anything be a test run?
Tinfoil Hattery abounds in the General forum. It's a conspiracy I tells ya!

We, the public, being beta testers for Google products? Pffft!
No place for this type of speculation on this board. If you have news, tips, tricks, guides, or howtos, feel free to post. This type of stuff is more suited for your blog.

Just wondering what is your guys second choice of available no phone out there if nexus 5 never come?
-LG G2
....................
I'd go for the Sony Xperia ZL. It's inexpensive, unique, and has pretty decent specs.
The N5 isn't even released and the General Section is already full of useless threads .
N4

Thread reported. No offense, but if this keeps going on we can't find the usefull threads between all the crap anymore
This thread isn't as useless as the others I've seen. I'd keep my S3 and try out the 5S. Yea I said it. :laugh:
Nexus 4 for sure. it has everything i want in a phone.
Kinda redundant as there WILL be a N5 but I'll play along. I'd simply stay with the N4. It works...very well. N5 is new Nexus toy, thus, I must have it!
I'd stay with my N4 for another year
Guys, please, this is pretty much OT talk. xda is mainly a dev forum, not a discussion forum. Discussions are ok, but this thread is useless.

Can we have mod look at the possibility of changing the nexus7 forum to either "Nexus 7 2012" or have one nexus 7 forum with sub sections for the 2012 and 2013 editions (like the galaxy ace forum). A lot of people are getting confused and posting in the wrong forum. This increases the risk of incorrect advice being given or incorrect ROMs/kernel's being flashed.
Programming is a race between engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

That's a good idea. It would definitely make things a lot more clear, especially for new members.

This quote from Rick Cook's Wizadry series brings back memories. I loved that series when I was a kid. You should add it as a sig. :good:

That's a pretty good idea I think... the problem with the N7 is that there are two different versions of a tablet with the same name. Whilst there a lot of similarities, there are also critical differences. A 'noob' (used non-pejoratively - weren't we all 'noobs' once) may seek to flash factory stock on their device... and not thinking it relevant, or they may not know it's importance sufficiently to disclose it in their original post. And thus, they may then receive incorrect advice that could potentially 'brick' their device... such as fastboot flashing a 'grouper' bootloader on a 2013 Nexus 7.
If both devices fell under the same 'umbrella' forum name of Nexus 7, then I think this would mitigate against incorrect advice being given.
Anyway... just my couple of cents... and based on the number of times I've had to redirect next doors mail, it certainly sounds like a good idea.
Rgrds,
Ged.
I think we redirect people on a daily basis its the ones that slip through the net or follow forums without actually posting that worry me. It may be worth re posting this in the nexus7 2013 forum although I think they will get less confused posts due to the forum title.
