I am a current tmobile customer and have a family plan. My line was eligible for an upgrade.I was able to seperate my line from my family plan which was out of contract to a single line for one day (of course prorated for about 9 dollars) then go to google and get the nexus one for the 179.00 price becuase my line which was seperated show me as a new customer. I went through the online process of obtaining the nexus one then called back tmobile and they gladly switched me back to my family plan. i then sold my G1 for 100 dollars therefore paying about 100 dollars for my nexus one. Tmobile customer service is awesome. They advised me on how to jump through the hoops to get the nexus one at the low price. I hope this can be applied to others and help them get the NEXUS ONE.

Well maybe google has soooo much $$ dat they really don’t care bout 1st week sales. Maybe they want people 2 keep gossipping bout their new device. I think dat people always want 2 attain da unattainable get 2 make them feel special when they do break down & get da dam thing. Maybe google screws up by not making it easier 2 purchase. Who knows wats goin 2 happen. Wat i do know is dat if they wait 2 long 2 turn people on instead of turning them off they will probably lose out do 2 new & upcoming phones from tmo & oda carriers as well. Don’t get me wrong i am one of da very eager 2 get a N1 tmo customers, but da price, da 3g problems & da fact dat new phones are coming out soon will keep me on da sidelines for now. P.S. google if ur out there reading these comments there’s an old sayin THINK HARD, THINK LONG, THINK WRONG!!!! Remember dat at the end it’s da consumer & loyal TMO customers dat will hav da last say in da matter???? Maybe u should google “THE WRONG STRADEGY” & see wat u come up with B4 u turn off too many loyal TMO customers & oda cusumers as well????

G1 stats are all messed up. Remember that was way back in the day T-mobile respected its loyal customers and had an exclusive period that only existing customers could get the phone. This reduced the surge that this article is trying to compare.

I’d still love to have one, but the price is just too rich for my blood at this time. I’ve read all the “it’s really cheaper” stuff but the outlay is more than I can reasonably consider. My contract is over in April. I’ll decide if I will stay with Tmobile then. The lackluster sales might convince the Big G that their pricing is out of line, and who knows they may have the kinks all worked out by then or the next iteration of an even more amazing phone may be available.

20000 sales vs. 2000 petition signatures of unhappy tmo customers, at least the ones that took the time to sign the petition. I’m considering buying it unlocked. But I notice that I’m weighing my options a whole lot more than before, $560 up front makes a difference.

Nowadays it’s hard to intrigue the customer base in a new phone. Everybody has a phone and when you break it down, they all do the job they are supposed to do.

The difference between a 1 or 2 year old phones isn’t that great, epecially in the aforementioned context.
The incentive to buy a new car vs. keeping your old one is higher than shelling out big buck for an unlocked phone vs. keeping your slightly used one.

WHY IS EVERYONE (single line customers) CRYING ABOUT A $530 PHONE!!!!!!!

everyone do u math right now!!! figure out how much u pay a month on ur plan right now….
-dont forget to add $30 internet if u dont have it already on old plan

now the new plans for web/text are, $60, $70, $80..500, 1000, and unl minutes…

Multiply both results by 24 (2 year contract, compared to no contract)

now add the $530 phone on top of each….im sure ur saving money and if not ur getting “more” than what you had before!!!!

On that note…i havent seen the nexus1….i hope it doesnt freeze or lag like all google and htc phones do

and is there now a easy way to save ur apps on the sd card? or no need since there is alot of memory??

Even though it is the superior phone in almost evey aspect . The problem was there was no advertising no huge campaign to show people here it is. Another thing not releasing it in the stores was a huge mistake that Google should have done. Maybe releasing it in the form as apple did with an section dedicated for it in the tmobile stores with large advertising GOOGLE or something. They botched themselves . I have the phone and it is truly amazing
