Just ordered my new N1!!!!

why are stupid people buying preorders on ebay for over $700 when they can simpily buy if from google on their own for $529. There's all kinds of stupid people doing this. It doesnt make any sense to me. All these people doing that are selling are buying the same way we are and sending it to the people over paid an extra $200. Some people need to be shot for being so damn dumb.

Anyone willing to buy me one and ship it to Europe? :p

I might be willing to do that. I sold my Nokia N900 to someone in Europe and shipped it over. The paperwork for international shipping isn't trivial, but I know how to do it now (actually have done it quite a few times).

It is the discount for upgrades. However, for some reason, its taking the discount off of the unlocked price, plus its still giving me the 70 bucks a month, when it should be taking it off of the 180 (should be about 30 bucks, 150 off for upgrade). I am not paying 380 for a contract phone.

Nope. For upgrades of the phone, it's $380, taking the $150 off the $530.

Wait, you thought you were going to get the gPhone for $30?!?!?

BUAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH! ROTFLMAO!!!!

There's NO WAY you're going to spend less than $500+ for this phone. The contract subsidizes the cost of the phone + service. Whether you front $180 or $380, you'll end up paying the full $500 and then some! C'mon man! Google ain't dumb.
 
I did it... *gulp* .... I took the plunge. My first android phone and my first 600$ phone.... sweating a little bit but cant wait.
 
I want order N1 on adress in US , but i'm outside US so i can't (Sorry, the Nexus One phone is not available in your country...) any suggestions?

My friend just purchased the Nexus, because he had the Tmobile upgrade available. He was allowed to purchase the phone for 179. Like I said, he was already a tmobile customer and this is before his two year contract is up.

Thats effing terrible and misleading, considering how you get there via the 180 link. Whatever. I do have to point out the tremendous irony in saying Anyone will be pending less than 500+ for the phone, though. Unless you are factoring in plans in which case shhhhhh

Also that logic doesn't make sense anyways. Thanks for being a Tmo customer, for your upgrade we are going to charge you 100 dollars more. Yeah ok. Sure.
 
im going to wait to see how many of you review your phone.. I have a mytouch and am less than thrilled with the phones performance. constant force closures have left a bad taste in my mouth
 
Love to jump in feet first and order one....but I'm more anxious to hear those critical feedbacks from folks who plunked $500 for a phone. I'm not saying it's not worth $500,.... I guess I'm getting a little too old to be an early adopter - at least for this phone.
 
Well went ahead and ordered mine ... I hope overnight means it'll be here tomorrow :). I'd love to have it tomorrow since I'll be going somewhere.

Anyone know if we can get the SIM card from T-mobile today? for the $60 plan?


Thanks.

Peculiarity: I tried for 15 minutes using Chrome 4 and it wouldn't go past the first screen. Switched to Firefox and it sailed right through.

:D Thanks for pointing this out. I was hitting refresh in Chrome for over an hour. Switched to IE7 and it breezed right through my order. :mad: It has not shipped yet.

I noticed the SIM card is quoted as being Out Of Stock on my T-Mobile web site. Next step would be to login to my prepaid account and see if I could get a SIM card. (Yes I know I could just use the SIM card that I have on my prepaid account, but someone else is using that one.)

Oh, you can use the SIM card from your prepaid account? How would you go about switching the prepaid plan to the postpay? I didn't see any options in the logged in account section.

I can't because someone else is using the SIM. I've not tried to convert, but I assume it would work. On another thread someone said they asked a T-Mobile CSM if they could use any recent T-Mobile SIMs and the CSM said yes. Of course, that doesn't mean it would really work, but it is a GSM SIM after all.

Of course, you would need some kind of data plan.

I dont blame you. I had a mytouch for about 1 week and came close to throwing it out the window on the highway. Just awful.
