Should I Sell My Nexus One?

I got this Nexus One by trading my G1 and $125.
Am currently on T-Mobile - contract up in March 2010
Ive been getting quite a few offers for my Nexus.
- Two people on craigslist are asking 300-350.
My phone is literally 10/10 condition and comes w/
everything , casemate case.
You think I should sell it for 300-350 now?
Should I wait till March 2010 when my contract is up? or do you guys think it will drop in resale value way more by then.
also do you think 300-350 is fair if cash is given

Do you need the money? Do you really want to sell it?
Only way I would sell my Nexus One is if I needed the money and I had another Nexus One already to replace it.
If you like the phone and don't need the money then why sell it?

Not a lot of better devices right now. Would hold on till contract ends or if something u like shows up. But it really depends on u'r needs: money, etc...

Practically all new androids are better than it. Choose wisely.

I am in a similar position, been offerend 350CDN for my Nexus but there really aren't any other phones out there that offer anything substantial over it to sell it... I like the Galaxy S, but until it is officially on Froyo it seems to buggy and really only has the bigger screen as the biggest reason to upgrade. I'm holding off until there is a substantial reason to upgrade.

Please enlighten us of these "new androids"

I dunno guys, I love my Nexus too but I'd sell it if I could use an EVO or a Droid X on GSM I think. The screen pisses me off to end on the N1 the lack of accuracy, the effed up multitouch and the horrible performance of the screen in sunlight drive me crazy. This is an amazing phone but HTC had to go and screw up the whole package by choosing a ****ty screen. Coming from an iPhone 3GS I can tell you that this screen is by no means at par

Better than N1

Gladly! New androids as in practically every android made after the Nexus One.
Verizon - Droid X, Droid 2, Droid Incredible, HTC Merge, Droid R2D2, & Samsung Fascinate
Sprint - Evo 4g
Tmobile - HD2, Samsung Vibrant (if you can stand touchwiz) & G2
And these are the phones that I can think of off the top of my head. If you want to check out the European phones: Desire, Desire Z, Desire HD.
So to reiterate, yes the Nexus One was a good phone, very nostalgic, set the tone for the new devices that came out. But with that being said, the new devices that came out are better than the Nexus One. So read up, pick one you like, and either sell the N1 or hold onto it for sentimental value.

i don't really understand caring about wether or not you're on a contract. put the SIM in and use whatever phone. surely you're not considering LOCKING YOURSELF into another 2 or 3 year commitment for the sake of a $4-500 phone ?
as far as all those being better, the hardware specs are very similar. the carriers... oh man, CONTRACTS ! no thank you. i'll stick with the tmo pay-to-play non contract.

The no contract route is pretty cool. If there was a possibility of me leaving Tmobile, I'd go contract free. Since I know I'm not going anywhere, I apted to sign the contract.

Yea. Before I paid Google 500+ I did my research about my nexus, and the math. Figured up over 2000+ dollars saved over two years using voip and Google voice, so I bought my nexus flat out and have been smiling since. Benchmark test wise I'm still over the Droid X and along with evolution I don't like the size. The g2 has 800 MHz =( and I don't use QWERTY or HDMI out. So a year after the purchase I would make it again today =)
N1 running psfreedom recovery and MIUI! sent via XDA app =D

All those phones mentioned have identical processors. Nothing running 1.3-1.5 ghz out yet. From what the news was saying is that towards the end of this year and begging of next we will have faster processors on smart phones.
I'd say hold off on selling your nexus or if you do, you aren't really getting anything better spec wise, maybe design is what you are looking for.

Keep the Nexus !
If you are wanting to stay with a certain carrier, your Android choices can tend to become very limited. I've been with Tmobile for years, happy, not moving.
My phone choices.... I dont really see any phones offered yet as being worth
signing another two year contract for.
I mean nothing fantastically better that my Nexus.
Heres what I mean, two years ago I was on the original G1 prebuy.
The Nexus is very drastically better than the G1.
I just dont see the TMO phone thats drastically better than the N1.
And if you have a Nexus then you have TMO or AT&T and AT&T's Android phone selection is worse than TMO's.
I'm holding pat especially since the N1 gets the updates months before any other phone does.
MyTouch was supposed to get Froyo "soon", and months have gone by, still no update.
Its almost like TMO would rather just keep everyones attention on its once a month new phone release than update the older phones.
When I do get a new phone I will keep the N1 till I'm sure the new one is better.
I've yet to see that phone though.

^ very true.
What also worries me is that none of the announced phones that are due to be released in this Q of the year are a whole lot better than Nexus One.
But as someone else said, I love my N1 except for the screen. The screen pisses me off so much!!

The G2 and the new mytouch are good replacements for the N1 in my opinion. Granted I'm not too impressed with the new mytouch overall design, nevertheless, the specs are nice and the FFC is a plus.

Nexus 4 - Discussion Thread

I figured many users may want to express what they feel about the new Nexus 4.
Well, in my opinion - It surely is a beast - I don't like the look of it though - The back looks stunning but the front is kind of weird.
THE BEST PART - The price is INSANE! 349 for 16GB GSM - Getting a 2G, Quad Core BEAST is INSANE!
Sorry for caps but it's just amazing! I'm trying to sell out my Nexus to get the N4.
The thing I don't like - It's not SuperAmoled - But it's not Pentile either.
Android 4.2 features are amazing, it looks smooth! I love that they finally included quick settings and the sphere camera thing is epic.
Let's get this thread going

the phone is very cheap for the hardware, but i think if it won´t offer a better batterylife i can wait. the nexus itself is awesome and very fast, there´s no need for me atm for more power xD
i hate the fact that google is gonna take the way of apple, getting money (50€/$) for 8gb extra internal storage... and the 8gb version makes not much sense. if u own such a device, you´d like to play games, that take benefits from the hardware and such games are 1gb+. all in all i can wait for the moment. in 2months i can get a new phone, because my contract is gonna expire
i´d always prefer a nexus, but hd display, with only 16gb storage sucks if u want to watch hd videos :/ so i might take an s3 or nexus tablet for that and stick to the nexus as mainphone, we´ll see.

I allready found some1 that want to buy my GNex but i wait until the release... I can't waiiiiiiiiiittttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >_< damn 350$ 16bg???? so so so cheap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i paid 400$ for my GNex gsm 16Gb... but i really love my GNex (is the only phone that remeaind in my pocket for 8-9 months ) i usually sell my phone every 2-3 months

Doesn't matter! You'll still get all the updates in time! The Gnex development department is AMAZING. Get your hands on the Nexus 10 instead - That thing is beast! LOOK AT THE RESOLUTION

I get everyone's gripe about internal storage being insufficient and only HSPA+ device. Lack of LTE doesn't bother me. Apparently HSPA+ is a slouch on a couch to everyone. Society is now on the go, go, go age.

I got mine on 10/5, so about 3 weeks ago. Does anyone know anyway to convince Google to take it as a return? I see they have 15 days only on their website, which is honestly a joke... Except for big ticket items (cars, homes, etc.) the standard should really be 30 days and I'd even say up to 90. Anyway, any guidance is helpful, if there isn't any, no big deal.

How the hell Google is taking way of apple when Google is selling their flagship phone for $300-$350? Apple charges $700 for the unlocked iPhone 5. At this price I don't think there is any room to complain.
Sent from my Nexus 7

I am seriously considering getting one of these babies at launch. The specs look fantastic and I have grown to love stock android since getting my Nexus 7. I'm hoping I can set my 6 month old One X about £270-280 so that it will cover this purchase. The only downgrade will be the storage space but considering I only use about 4gb of the available space on my One X it won't be an issue.
I understand for some 16gb won't be enough. But if you look at what Google has done with the Nexus 7 I wouldn't be surprised to see a 32gb model released a few months down the line.
I'd like to see a screen comparison between the One X and the Nexus 4. I LOVE the screen on my One X and if the Nexus 4 screen isn't at a similar level it could make me decide to stick with what I have.

Undoubtedly! The Nexus 4 is SO cheap! I can literally sell my Galaxy Nexus right now for the same price of the Nexus 4.

At this point it may be difficult to sell the GNex at New pricing, unless you literally ordered it before it was removed from Play or you use convincing-enough wording when listing it on Amazon.

I'm going to buy direct from Google and switch to GiffGaff. It runs on o2's network so the signal will be the same. They have a variety of very low priced offers. Check it out: http://giffgaff.com/
I've cancelled my contract with Vodafone. Contracts are just too expensive in the long run. This phone will be around £25-30 for 2 years. That makes a total price of £600-720. Buying direct and using GiffGaffs £10 a month offer after two years it is £520

Help Deciding : Nexus 6 or Nexus 6P??

Hello Everyone,
I am having a hard time deciding on what to do here. Here are my options:
A: Upgrade my current Sprint line to the Nexus 6 for $0.00 today, free activation and free overnight shipping!
B: Pre-Order the Nexus 6P for $500+ out of pocket today and have it essentially cost me $120 more a year. (Sprint Unlimited Plan is going from $60 to $70 October 16th)
I have to stay with Sprint. Looking at options A and B it really only seems logical to go with A... lol. Anyways...
I am looking for Pros and Cons for the Moto Nexus 6 vs the Nexus 6P.
Any and all input on this would be appreciated! Thank you for your time!
PS: This will be my first Android Phone. I have been an iPhone user since the 3GS! I currently have an iPhone 6 and I am just sick of my boring A$$ iPhones! After doing a bunch of research and such I decided that I really want a Nexus Device! I just can't decide between the Nexus 6 or the Nexus 6P.

Unless you absolutely need to have USB-C or biometric unlock, save your money. The N6 is still a very capable device.
Ooh and 6p doesn't have wireless charging...
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Not quite sure what the implications on your sprint plan is, but I wouldn't get the N6 from Sprint. Amazon has them for sub $400. I just bought the 64gb warehouse deal for $339. I know sprint is listing them for over $600 and you'll pay every bit of that though easy pay too. IMO saving $150+ by going with the N6 is the better decision.
Are you on a contract type plan with sprint still?

I personally love my Nexus 6. The convenience of wireless charging overrides any USB type-c in my opinion since I have 100 USB cables that work great already. I also like my motorola, as I was a huge fan of the Moto X line the Nexus 6 fits many criteria in one. But its your phone get what best suits you.

I already have the N6, but my wife is looking for a new phone. She's choosing the N6P, mainly because she feels that the original N6 is to clunky. Looking at side by side pictures the N6P looks quite sleek...

The only real difference between the two that are noticeable right away are the finger print scanner on the back, and USB C charging. I have a Nexus 6 and I will tell you, this phone charges fast as hell with it's fast charge feature and it makes the USB C charging seem gimmicky. For the price, I would say go for a Nexus 6! And someone already mentioned the Amazon price that's quite low right now, opinion of course, but I would say the real deal breaker here is if you REALLY want a finger print scanner or can live without it. I love my Nexus 6!
EDIT: You're coming from an iPhone? Welcome to the world of Android, you're making a much better choice!
Sent from my Nexus 6

Also want to say, since you're coming from iPhone, you're making a good choice going with the Nexus platform over one of the vendors (Samsung, LG, etc) IMO. While they make great phones, I think vanilla android is the best form. I cannot stand how the other mfgs load their phones up with just crap. I have an LG now that I love, but it's unlocked and running vanilla android
If you get into unlocking and rooting your phone, there's so much you can do with it but it's also a great experience stock.

I pulled the trigger on the Nexus 6! I've always wanted a phone with a big screen so I know I am going to love it! I spent an hour on the phone with Sprint and got them down to $500! I just explained to the supervisor that it is a year old phone and you can buy it directly from Google for $500. I still got charged the full $648-$48 instant discount =$600. $0 down installment billing through easy pay. But he issued me $100 credit to make up for it! They are also buying my iPhone 6 back for $385 so I will have a $485 credit on my account. I won't have to pay my bill for 6 months! HaHa! He also waived activation and gave me free two day shipping. I feel I did pretty well! Cost me nothing up front! I probably could have gotten more from selling my iPhone solo but the fact that it's a Sprint model would have made it a lot harder and taken forever. Plus it has a few scratches on it and such so $385 is plenty enough in my opinion. Amazons for $350 are a good deal but they say no Sprint/Verizon for some reason. In my area it is Verizon or Sprint. GSM is not an option! No AT&T or T-Mobile coverage at all!
I can't wait to get it! This is the first time I have bought an Android and this is the first time I bought a year old phone! I have always got the latest iPhone upon release. It was kind of hard for me to eat that I was getting year old tech, but I really wanted the 6" display and I wanted a Nexus device. (For some reason I always think I have to have the latest and greatest even though I am far from a power user) With 3GB ram and a Snapdragon 805 I am sure I will enjoy it for a while. As long as I get 2 years out of it I will be happy!

Congrats! You'll love android. And while this may be a year old phone, it's still arguably top of the line. The SD 808 and 810 are not clearly better than the 805, especially with the 810's thermal issues. Take good care of it and you should see 2 years easy out of the phone.
And besides, you can always trade early for next year's Nexus
Edit: BTW I love your avatar...perfect for someone coming from iPhone to their first Android

Awesome dude! Android is a much better mobile OS! It does so much more than iOS! And I'm a believer in the Nexus line! Other phones are alright, but like someone said, loaded with useless crap! Nexus is the way to go!

I'd have to agree. Unless it's a 64GB with all original accessories and a few extras like cases and wireless chargers I'd say it's a bit much too.

At this point I would just save a little extra money and wait for a good 6P discount. I bought a brand new nexus 6 in december at 250 so I can't recommend you to buy an used one for more than that.

You can buy a 5X for 199 when you sign up for Fi.

Personally I agree that the original Nexus 6 is a good buy. I have it, and I still feel that it is the best phone I have owned.
That being said, I also agree that the price you have been quoted for the Used Nexus 6, does seem a bit high. Personally I would negotiate a slightly lower price if possible.

I bought a brand new phone for $250 from Amazon..

That's great for people who Fi works in their area I have 0 sprint coverage and about 10% coverage of Tmo in my area. Att is OK but Verizon is dominant with coverage about 95% of the rural area I live in....
Nexus 6 is still a great phone! I won't be giving it up anytime soon!

I got one late Feb and it is a great device. Got one from AWD - 32Gb at $215. I was opting for moto x pure but it was a bit expensive at that time. Anywho, its a great buy, i have no regrets.

I don't think they will sell it at that price anytime soon but keep on the lookout. Even AWD where I got mine sells it at around $300 in very good condition. Mine was from AWD as well and tagged used- in very good condition but it came like bnew.
Surely there must be forwarders in your country where you can ship it to a US address and they ship it to you for a price. That is what I usually do since I live in the PH.

I picked up a refurb from groupon for $250 a few weeks ago, I enjoy it personally.

What does 9/10 mean? Weak point of N6 is the battery
The updates are monthly now and Google never added new things, I would not be disappointed when the monthly updates stop.
In any case there will be Android N for the N6.
The point to worry about is the battery life and the amoled display. The dev's at Google forces us to use a white background. There is no option yet to switch to a dark theme without root access.
A child knows that a white interface on amoled displays causes battery drain. But Google ignores that.
Prepare for rooting and use layers and alternatives for Gapps like Aquamail that have the option to switch to a dark theme.

9/10 is a rating, ergo 9 out of 10. He's saying the device is nearly perfect.

I got mine for $180. Had an LG G3 before this phone. I just wanted a giant screen that is a great performer. I got more than I expected with this phone. I love it. There may be better devices on the market, but this is a great phone for the price!

I've just upgraded from my be loved nexus 5 and love it. Upgraded for the storage

Anyone thinking about upgrading from N6 to the Pixel?

I was pretty impressed with the release notes yesterday. Ive been nothing but happy with my N6 (got it new since it came out), but ive got the new phone itch lol.
Also since im on Project Fi, they were offering the VR gear for free (most likely would not have bought it on my own, just my personal opinion). So ive got my order in for an XL. We shall see how that goes.

imo I think it is really pricy. Cant justify myself spending so much for a pixel. beside that I think my n6 and n5 is still usable at least till the next pixel release.

No Pixel for me. Not going to pay that kind of money for a phone. I got my N6 just a year ago and it is still working perfect. If i buy a new phone then I will spent no more then 400 euro on it.

I agree, I was a bit surprised at the pricing.
Although, the days of renewing your contract and getting a $200 smart phone are gone. I think every phone company (around me anyways - ATT, VZ, Sprint, Tmobile, ect) are all charging full retail for phones now ($650+)
Its not as bad of a hit having it over 24 month payments and them not charging interest on it.

I'm getting it. Most of the people on here too are. No matter what they say. They will be craving it by xmas.

I preordered a 128GB Pixel XL for $921 to get the free VR headset deal, but I decided to cancel my order a few hours later. I'll wait for some reviews and root confirmation before I drop that kind of dough on something I'll be bored with in a year or less. Hopefully there will be a black Friday sale next month or some holiday deals at the end of the year.
The Pixel looks like a really really nice phone, but being a full time student with no job puts a big crunch on my budget for toys.

This just sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders and your parents taught you some responsibility/how to prioritize lol :good:. Something I seem to see/hear less and less of with younger generations.

worst case scenario i might just pick up a used 6p or a xiaomi flagship at half the price

£400/$500, yes. Current prices, absolutely not. Where do you get "Most of the people on here too are" from? Based on the number of people who say "Wow, that's a very reasonable price" or what?

Yeah, however I'm on Verizon and if you've been with them before they removed the contract pricing, you are still allowed to upgrade at contract price for around $200-$300

Hmm did not know that.
I had them for 10+ years but got tired of paying soooo much for my bill (grandfathered unlim data). When Project Fi was announced, I hopped on. Kept both VZ and Fi for 2-3 months to compared reception in the areas I spent most my time. Fi held up just fine and is LESS THAN HALF of what I was paying big red (just dont get unlim data).
Wonder if they will keep that trend going.

I was tempted to switch to Fi before, but I always had the idea in the back of my mind that someday I might grow tired of Nexus or the new iteration won't be as good (Pixel).
Anyways, if you still have a line on VZW, you can check it out, otherwise you can try to woo a representative into giving you the contract deal

I have no idea what makes anyone believe most people on here will buy the pixel. Literally 95% of the posters have an extremely negative opinion of the device on the threads out there. I would rather buy an iphone than a pixel at those prices. Too many other decent options to consider.

Well it's mostly because I have more expensive hobbies (cars). I just finished a big turbo project and I need that money in case something goes terribly wrong. It shouldn't, but **** happens... Having a running car is more important than having the latest gadget.

My N6 is way better than that overpriced phones. So no thank you. I'll wait few more months until prices go down and buy an op3 or even a axon 7. Or go adventurous and buy Umi plus. Which is easy sexier looking phone!
So N6 was my last Google phone ever.

The N6 was equally ridiculously overpriced in 2014, so I laughed at the idea of buying it. Besides my Note 3 was only one year old, just reached the age I cared less if the knox flag is 0x1 or not. Also a SD805 upgrade over a SD800 is not an upgrade. And the Note 3 had a better camera.
And a year later I changed my mind.

The price is high, but the constituency here are tech heads. People will groan and grumble, but eventually get it. Provided their is good community support.
When a phone like our N6 starts to lose community support for being old, it's not very gratifying to own.
The only thing that would possibly stop me, if the bootloader was locked down tight with no option to root.
UPDATE: Ok, I did check the price. Pixel XL with 128g is probably about 900+ with tax delivered. Yea, that might push me out.
