| Not released yet... The phone is not released yet. How can you make such a claim when nothing has been confirmed. Don't over reach. |

| Nexus One Where have you been? It isn't restricted to T-Mobile at all. The specs that have been released so far indicate the Nexus One will work on all 4 of the existing networks. |

Re: Same as always from Google said by toddbs98: What more do you expect from Google, lots of hype and media frenzy but nothing really new or exciting. That is not always true. The Android 2.0 OS is stunning, especially considering the fact that it's newly released. Most of what this phone can do is simply because of the Android 2.1 OS, which can be hacked onto any other Android phone and will be offically released for them soon.
Couple all that with the fact that it's on T-Mobile, it wasn't cheaper than many other Android phones, and the Snapdragon 1GHz processor, while fast, isn't by any means the fastest out, and you get this type of response.

| Actually... Google has been helping with the development of android and revolutionizing pretty much everything on the net...for those who don't see it, maybe your blind or not really a net guru. They have been driving the development of lots of open source projects, and even paying people without getting anything back. They have put alot of work into android as well...which im sure most of the corporate whores dont reallly like to much considering it IS a iphone killer, i dont care if you're an apple affiliate losing money thats the truth. Its sad that people still bash them just because they are afraid of new ideas and losing out on money to there new competition....
Ive been following the development of android since it was announced and have told everyone i know to invest in the manufactures who are developing the phones...give it another year for everyone to realize the potential of android. I would easily shell out $500 for the nexus one considering how badass it is, and im a developer. |

kudos:1 | Do G1 owners get a bigger discount? We were the first adopters of the Google Smart phone and now we are left with is a forked never to be updated again phone.
I know the saying early adopters always get burned and what not but seriiously we took a gamble with the Android platform and now we have to upgrde and spend more money just to get the latest features.
I think that is unfair of Google to do the one thing about the iPhone is their OS isn't forked every iPhone can use the latest OS stuff some better than others of course but atleast there are new OS features being added and what not from Apple. Can't say the same for Google.

Re: Actually... I like where the idea of opening up the GUI guts (of everything from voicemail control to calling mechanisms) to companies not named AT&T, Verizon, Apple, etc. I love how Google Voice could shake up everything. That said, it still doesn't make the rumored Nexus One pricing any more interesting....
Now maybe down the road, when Google starts selling a myriad of cheap, unlocked handsets that all work on LTE we could see something interesting. But right now? Kind of a disjointed, only slightly interesting mess... |

And who knows when it will be available I'm not saying it will work, but if your Moment isn't heavily customized by Samsung, you *may* be able to just dump the Android release on it directly from Google. That is how I upgraded my Droid. It even kept the VCast apps store in the Android Market.
Have you looked for an enthusiast forum for the Moment? Ah ha, here you go: »androidforums.com/samsung-moment/

Re: Do G1 owners get a bigger discount? phones and laptops have a design life of 2 years... squeeze anything more out of that and consider yourself lucky.

Re: Not released yet... What claim? The reviews are from people currently using the phone. The pricing specs are not confirmed yet, but the leaks sound genuine.... |

I think he was adding the 2 GSM cell carriers in Canada(Bell & Rogers) to T-Mobile & AT&T since the poster was from Canada. But it won't be 3G except on T-Mobile.

There were rumors all over twitter yesterday of T-Mo reps saying that G1 owners would get the $179/new line pricing. Not sure if it's true, but it sure would be nice. |

Re: Nexus One Yep, writing something up now. They've made some nice progress since the beginning of 2008. Will be nice to see 21 Mbps HSPA+! |

| Thank You! I just wanted to thank Karl for posting the first reasonable assessment of this phone that I have seen.
