Nexus One - Page 11

Uh huh. Say what you mean next time and we won't have this problem. That was a rhetorical question. Up until about a few weeks ago, if you wanted to use a Nexus One on AT&T, you had to "suffer" with 2G speeds. Same difference.

Well... the order is in. I decided to switch to T-Mobile and get the subsidized phone. The monthly plan will also probably work out to be cheaper I think, we'll see how it goes.

Since I switched jobs, I don't think there's as big a risk of me smashing my phone. Otherwise, I'd be really concerned with the slimness and large glass front of the phone. I'll probably be getting some armor for it anyways.

I hope I don't hate the touchscreen keyboard as much as I do the iPhone's. I'm going to experiment with different apps for it. Besides Swype, is there anything else I should be looking at?

The reason I went with T-Mob is that the phone is literally a quarter of the price because it's subsidized. If I don't like the service, or the touchscreen thing sucks, in three months I can get out of my contract for a couple hundred bucks and still be out less than the cost of buying the AT&T version. I also know a lot of people on T-Mob who will probably buy the phone off me because it's probably still better than the MyTouch they are currently using. It just made sense. Seeing as I need a new phone NOW, waiting for the next great thing isn't going to be an option.

It's here.

I hope it doesn't take 24 hours to port my number. Going all of tomorrow with a phone that is essentially just a clock would be a killer.

Bad ass. I'm loving it. That being said, I have noticed a few random 3G fade outs, but I expected that, so I'm not going to bitch much about it. The screen eats battery for breakfast. The first day, playing around with it and showing it off at work and shit - I killed the battery in 8 hours. Completely dead. Yesterday I turned the screen all the way down (perfectly fine in doors, nearly invisible in the sun), turned the GPS off, turned the Google sync off. Had 24% battery after work. That is with about an hour and a half of streaming Pandora HQ at full volume. Not too bad. I don't like not having a real keyboard, as I anticipated. I am basically relying completely on auto correct, which IMO, is bullshit. At least the auto correct is halfway decent. I just don't like having to make sure my phone thinks I'm typing what I'm actually typing. I'm waiting for SWYPE beta to be turned back on. I think that might make it easier. Maybe. I want to turn auto correct off. Downloaded a shit ton of apps. Speech to text is pretty damn cool.

Interesting, but rather pointless for me. (and I can't see how it's relevant to most other people either, maybe someone could enlighten me?)



Was already aware of this, not a big deal to me. Might be to someone else.


Haven't noticed this problem. Will report if it happens.
