Are you kidding? I use 2-8 MB per DAY on my iPhone with Exchange mail depending on use.

That would explain the "you have used more than 5mb while roaming warning" I got from my operator after a few days out of the country. Odd.... I was doing heavy email on the HTC TyTn II and getting 4-6MB per month but both my E-71 and iPhone (which should be using the same Exchange Push protocol) seem to eat more.....

Here are the details....
• It's $530 unsubsidized. Google's not going to be selling the phone at cost, like so many people considered. They're not going to save us from the "making money off of hardware" culture we've got right now, so this is basically just another Android handset, albeit a really good one • If you want it subsidized, you'll have to sign up for a 2 year mandatory contract and pay $180 for the phone • There's only one rate plan: $39.99 Even More + Text + Web for $79.99 total • Existing customers cannot keep their plan if they want a subsidized phone; they have to change to the one plan, and this only applies to accounts with one single line • If that doesn't fly with you, you have to buy the $530 unlocked version—this actually might save you money over two years if you already have a cheap plan • Family plans, Flexpay, SmartAccess and KidConnect subscribers must buy the phone unlocked and unsubsidized for $530 • You can only buy five Nexus One phones per Google account • There is language in the agreement of shipping outside the US • Google will sell it at google.com/phone, which explains what they were doing with that page a few weeks ago • Google will still call it the Nexus One apparently, and not the Google Phone And here is a big one: • If you cancel your plan before 120 days, you have to pay the subsidy difference between what you paid and the unsubsidized price, so $350 in this case. Or you can return the phone to Google. You also authorize them to charge this directly to your credit card. Source |
So, Google Uncloacks the Nexus One
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/01..._announcement/
Surprisingly, the unveiling is not yet on YouTube. Google describe it as a new kind of "emerging" phone which they call a "Super Phone". In reality, it looks like another Android phone albeit better than the last Android phone. The good news is, as predicted, you can simply buy one unlocked, off contract if you wish, making it a nice phone for those users who buy/use a SIM local to where they are traveling. Somehow, I doubt Apple will follow suit. |

The Nexus One is sporting the fantastic AMOLED display technology.
See photo here: http://www.oled-display.net/google-n...35-inch-amoled No backlighting and supersharp display, especially the blacks. I think just the fact that it has a pretty good display is something worth being excited about. |

Did anyone here buy/order one?
I'm tempted to 'buy' a 'free' HTC Magic on a local network, on a low cap plan, then eventually update it to the 2.1 ROM software. Is anyone happy or unhappy with the phone, the software, the apps? |

My G1 just started to malfunction a couple of days ago (volume from speaker barely audible). I was very close to pulling the trigger on a Nexus 1 until I read the reviews which indicate that this isn't really a huge step up from other Android phones. I like Android, but my backup BB Curve will work just as well until there is something better to upgrade to.

I bought one. It's waiting for me at home right now. I have basically shunned cellphones up until now so I don't have a lot to compare it to. But I like the idea of mobile web access. I don't anticipate using it to make phone calls much.
I got the unlocked version. I guess I will end up paying T-Mo $60 ++ per month since that seems to be the cheapest plan that includes data/web. One of my friends recently got a myTouch that he really likes a lot. The demos of the N1 look pretty good to me. |
So, where does all this leave the poor little orphan G1 - which was marketed as the "Google Phone" not all that long ago?
Personally, I can't wait until the day my contract is up so I can toss my G1 off Navy Pier into Lake Michigan, but I don't have a clear path toward what's next. I salivate over the Iphone and actually bought an I-Pod touch to tide me over - imagine real outlook mail that works out of the box instead of struggling with a 3rd party app! - but I cannot abide the thought of moving to ATT. The NEW Google phone still sounds like an IPhone wannabe. |
