Nexus one now coming to Sprint.
- Thread starter zoiks
- Start date
I wonder if there will be any repercussions for Palm. Pre and Pixi are only on Sprint and Verizon right now? I thought I saw somewhere that sales on Verizon were pretty underwhelming.
Palm will likely have a new phone out in June. It better be impressive hardware wise or they may be in some hurt at that point.
I love WebOS, but they need a better phone that can directly compete with the likes of Nexus One.
Good news regardless for Sprint people.

Well, it remains to be seen but I suspect that the phone won't be subsidized with a contract and that probably you'd only be able to buy it from Google for the full price. Palm phones can be had for a much cheaper price when you renew or sign a new a contract which still will help in their sales.
That said, I just wanted to point out that I have the Nexus one for TMobile and besides the 3g issue, it completely rocks. In 4 months, the app store has grown 4 times it's size to 30,000 apps. I love some of the apps in the store such as 'subsonic' which allows me to play music stored on my home machine on the phone.

Damn, I got a Samsung Moment from them because they didn't have anything better... now I gotta wait two years! Oh well I still love the Moment and I like that it has a physical keyboard.

I'm looking forward to it. The SS looks nice but a bit on the large size for me. The N1 will fit the bill nicely.

Unless you are on the lowest EPRP plan you will/are premier which gets you a yearly phone upgrade.

I'm in the same boat. Got tired of waiting and bought a Moment in January. I might just eat the full price and upgrade this summer when the Supersonic is released. I NEED that phone, haha.
How is the moment I am thinking switching to sprint soon to save some money. I would like a phone with a physical keyboard so the moment caught my eye. Is it stable and have a solid build quality?
It's a solid phone physically, and it's never crashed on me. I've had a few minor issues with apps crashing, but I'm pretty sure those issues can be attributed to the apps themselves (and those were just the apps having problems, the phone has never taken a dump on me).
The only complaint is that the battery life is atrocious, or so the phone would have you believe. From what I've read there's an error with the battery temp sensor or something, not sure exactly. But some days I can use the phone all day and the battery will still be good to go, and then other days it'll seem like I barely use the phone and it'll instantly say it needs to be charged. However, even when it says the phone is about to die, I can continue to use it, and has yet *crosses fingers* to actually go dead because of no more battery. That's why they believe it's just a sensor/software issue.
The Moment is also supposed to get 2.0 or 2.1, can't remember which, in the next couple of months.

Well luckily I do not NEED a Nexus One and I can wait until next year. I'm still having fun with the Moment and it far exceeds all my needs (it's my first smartphone).
Stable: Usually, but occasionally I've had the mobile data stop working despite having supposedly good reception and still having the EV logo in the status bar up top. The only ways I've found to get it back to normal are either turning the phone off and back on or simply waiting. And when this issue does crop up, the phone will crash (hard) when I try to make a phone call. It will also get stuck in Airplane Mode if you turn it on and then try to turn it off. Again, the only method is to turn the phone off and back on. No idea why, but it doesn't happen very often luckily.
Build quality seems good. It's a solid, brick-like phone. I like the physical keyboard, especially for the navigational arrow keys. Sometimes I use Swype, but the physical keyboard is a good backup for certain things, especially numbers, symbols, and other complex things.
Switching to Sprint is definitely a good way to save money, especially if you have more than one line with data. Their only major shortcoming seems to be phone selection, and if they get the Nexus One and/or Supersonic, that will go away.
I'd definitely wait. The Nexus One may not have a physical keyboard, but its other advantages far outweigh that one shortcoming.
I haven't had battery life issues. Do you have the CL14 update? It came out around December/January and fixed issues with the GPS and battery life. You can check by going to Menu > Settings > About Phone > Build Number, which should be CUPCAKE.CL14 if you have the update.
The current rumor, supposedly confirmed by Sprint employees, is that both the Moment and Hero will be getting an update from 1.5 all the way to 2.1 on March 26th. But the only official announcement is that it will come out in "early 2Q 2010." They have at least said that it will be an update to 2.1, not 2.0.
thanks for the info on the moment. I am not switching for another 7 weeks when I close on a house. In my current location sprint does not have real coverage. I am still leaning towards the moment over the N1 but supersonic is another story.
That's the Evo. It's a different phone, and shockingly enough, has a whole other thread right below this one already.
