U cant compare a free phone with a netbook VS an iPhone or Droid Phone...First, you cant walk down the street and surf the web (if needed).Second, you cant lookup maps on the fly as u need on your free phone.Third, your free phone is just that. A FREE PHONE.The phones in question are phones AND personal computers...So, your comparison is crap.BTW: Yeah,i want to fit the phone in my pocket, not walk around with a netbook in my hand.
Better than the Droid, comparable to an IPhone, service through T-Mobile. Verizon Wireless customers lose again. How do I get my family off of VW? Need help.
I didn't buy my phone unlocked but let's say I did. $500 over three years is under $0.50 per day. I EASILY get that kind of benefit out of my phone, even when you add on the $1.00 per day I pay for unlimited Internet. It doesn't make any difference how it compares price wise to a laptop, and you can have both. All that matters is whether you get enough use out of it to be worth it. And even if I didn't want one I'd have to have one for work. Don't want one? That's fine, but sooner or later you'll realize not everybody is just like you.
I already picked the phone I like, and that is the iPhone. It has a familiar GUI (Android has multiple GUIs, including the default and HTC's Sense GUI), the iPhone appeals to me since it works with my computers flawlessly. I also know that when I upgrade to a newer iPhone, most if not all of the software will be the same and work on the new one.
Me too. I'm hoping that this leaked page is just the "buy through Google" terms, and T-Mobile will sell it internally under the same terms as their other Android phones (i.e. $200+2yr contract+mandatory $25 Android data plan).IIRC, the Cliq was offered to existing customers as an upgrade on my.t-mobile before it went on tmobile.com on the official release date. Maybe the Google page is aimed at new customers and existing T-mobile customers will get an internal offer.I'm hoping anyway.
HTC's HD2, the current flagship windows mobile phone, is going for nearly $800 right now. <a class="user" href="http://www.expansys-usa.com/d.aspx?i=188312" rel="nofollow">http://www.expansys-usa.com/d.aspx?i=188312</a> Granted, that's an import, but I fully expect to pay upwards of $650 for an unlocked T-Mobile version. And I will happily pay that when it comes out because out of all the technology in my life, my phone has the most impact on my daily life. I'd probably give up my TV before I'd give up having a smartphone.
Im not sure of the exact benefits of VOIP are as opposed to UMA. But T-Mobile does allow UMA on blackberrys and other devices. So, I could definitely see UMA coming to the Nexus one. UMA allows for communications (phone/text/data/web) over wi-fi when its detected. Best of all it, doesnt count against your minutes and great for picking up signal where there isnt one (which for t-mobile is easier todo than say Verizon, ATT).

Of course it only cost's about $180 to make the phone, so Google would be making $350 on each phone.
