Maximus, you nailed right on the head. Tmobile has nothing to do with getting this phone to tmobile, just was lucky that verizon said no to the nexus! Tmobile really needs to get its act together about these phones, before there is no tmobile.

Uh John…..T-Mobile hasn’t stepped up….Google has. T-Mobile just happens to be possibly benefiting from Google’s move into selling phones. This is not a T-Mobile marketing push this is Google’s glory and Google’s alone. Don’t get it twisted son. Notice the phone won’t have an ounce of T-Mo branding? Let’s not give T-Mobile too much credit. How about none at all. I’m extremely happy that Google isn’t playing any games by limiting the GSM network but making the assertion this is some glorious contribution by T-Mobile holds no weight. I for one want T-Mobile to benefit from the introduction of Nexus One. They can learn a thing or two about how to market and sell a product.

of course you don’t say anything good about t-mo. You are the kind that complained about the cliq and the behold 2 and how t-mo was falling behind. But I knew all along that this would only last for a couple of months until t-mo stepped up. It is a good thing you are recognizing t-mo’s effort on supporting Android devices. Now if you would do me a favor and keep up the good comments.
@chaoscentral attaboy! is good to see somebody uses a calculator from time to time!!
Hows that cliq going?

It’s not like Google and T-Mobile planned Even More Plus plans to coincide with the release with the Nexus One. It more like ‘just so happens’. It doesn’t really set an advantage to EM+ subscribers since really anyone can buy an unsubsidized phone on any plan. EM+ get to spread the cost across payments. If that make you happy, great. :o)

I’m not to worried about the user experience since I know Google’s put in the work to make 2.1 a sexy beast. I’m curious about price. Hopefully this week…maybe today we’ll get some news on price.

Erm…..I doubt T-Mobile will be bring the G1v2. You should be excited about the Nexus One….keyboards are overrated, hehehehe.

At this juncture I don’t think we can depend on T-Mobileto generate any kind of buzz of their own. As much as I’m excited about seeing this phone I’m still saddened that this phone doesn’t really put T-Mobile in a better position. What it signals is Google’s own lack of faith in any carrier or handset maker to show off their precious Android OS. They will be the do the best at it. It’s really what thy should have done last yeah instead of allow T-Mobile to release the God awful G1. 4 Android phones later and T-Mobile still hasn’t improved much. This phone is going to be a buzz killer the iPhone, Storm, Pre and my lovely Droid. It’s to be expected. It’s just what the doctor ordered. Kudos to Google for getting the job done right.

I just read a report Google went to Verizon first with this phone. Verizon say no. What the hell were they thinking? The word is Google wants to sell the phone unsubsidized and Verizon didn’t vibe with the idea. No way they could stick someone in a 2 year contract. Nice Score for T-Mobile. I can’t believe I’m actually saying something positive about T-Mobile…..I’ve been waiting for this day. Just news like this is an early Christmas present for me. Hopefully the phone won’t be priced too high. For those EM+ subscribers I guess it doesn’t matter.
What a great New Year gift Google is delivering to the US. I can’t wait to see this phone in action. I’m extremely happy with life in the land of Droid but this phone makes T-Mobile look prettier than they have in a LOOOOONG time.
The Nexus One is the cream of the Android crop.

I think this phone looks more to the “HTC Dragon” which is “4.3 inches screen”, does not look at all to “HTC Bravo” check the specs & photos at http://pdadb.net search HTC Dragon & Bravo or Passion

I have a question… what about customers who have older plans… would they have to goto even more plus to make payments on a phone? I don’t want to get rid of my plan because its already like the even more plus version of 1000 mins plus nights and weekends for $39.99 plus I have the added bonus of MyFavs. To top it off I have the Android web with the 400 text bundle for $24.99. Why would I want to switch only to pay the same but without the MyFavs then pay an extra $5.00 for web and lose my 400 text? Sure I may get the mobile to mobile but with 1000 mins and MyFavs… not to mention Google Voice… who cares? I’d still be losing out. I am hoping they will offer it with some sort of contract as well or if you sign some type of contract with a carrier you’ll get it at a discount. If not… I don’t want to lose what I already have but I hope they will still let me make payments on a phone. After all I have been with Tmobile for over 5 years and while it may not be as long as others its a milestone for me… I’ve stuck with them longer than I did with Verizon and I hope to continue it. Too bad they don’t let you trade in your old Android phones towards the purchase of a newer model. Maybe get like $50 to $100 off with a trade in.

This actually looks like a touchscreen sidekick. If you think about it, the trackball and screen and stuff. Flip the image vertically and it really looks like an lx sidekick. Anyways, my contract from tmo doesn’t expire till July 2010 so I guess I’ll wait for the new Iphone. Tmobile lost my service after they messed up with the sidekick outage. Never trusting them with my data again.
