The order page currently states that the AT&T compatible version is unavailable. Does state temporarily. But has this happened before?
I mistakenly ordered a T-Mobile version but actually really think something malfunctioned in the order process since I clearly clicked the AT&T model and double checked it. The receipt stated the T-Mobile version though and I caught that too late to cancel it before it shipped.
It's going back to Google now. But I am now unable to order the AT&T model. Has this happened before? How long did it take to receive more? I'm curious because they've stated they're closing the web store and I'll be disappointed if I missed out because of a crappy mistake or technical glitch.
Edit: Post on page 2 gives confirmation that they aren't gone yet but are simply out of stock.
wow, that's interesting. its certainly new, as I ordered one thursday and got it today.
Sadly, I don't know if this has happened before though... :-/
-Taylor
This really bites, because I REALLY wanted to buy one today
If anyone knows anything, please do share... I sent off a message through the contact page, so I'll see if they get back to me.
It will be really hard to get one in Canada if they stop selling it...
First I heard of it being unavalible since launch. Could be because they are hashing the inventory getting froyo on shipping phones.
AFAIK google is taking down all N1's minus ones on contract, i heard that from one of the news sites a few weeks ago. Could be wrong tho.
I ordered mine Sunday evening and got it this morning; I hope they're not taking them down yet, I'm definitely enjoying this phone. Just afraid to flash ROMs and brick my phone. >.<
Flashing roms has never bricked an android phone...

I really hope that isn't true... I looked on ebay, and the prices for N1's are crazy... Rogers doesn't seem to get Android phones here until they're obsolete... And I refuse to get a phone with a fruit on it...

It is true. But they will not be taking them down yet. They said they would run the store for a long while yet, until the Nexus One is with carriers and in stores around the world. And still they said they would keep it up a while after even that happens.
Don't worry, the store is not going away for a long time.
hey OP, could you update this when you find out if this is permanent or not?
thanks

What he said.
Now flashing radio or SPL. That can brick your phone.
Yea, once I get solid info I'll update the original post to reflect what I find.
I still plan to order one if they become available as a development device. Was hoping for an AT&T version so I could swap sims with my iPhone and use whichever device fit my needs for the day.
I've been looking in to this as well. My girlfriend went to purchase one this evening after trying playing with mine for a few weeks and they are unavailable. I was aware Google was going to cease selling them online, but their blog post said the would first establish a presence in third-party retail outlets, then pull them from the store. Hopefully this is just a temporary shortage or something and not the end of the at&t Nexus One.
Edit: OP, I just stumbled across the answer to this on the Google Support Forums. A Google employee responded to this question saying they would have more in stock in the next few days. I'd post a link, but I'm too new lol

No worries on posting a link. I'll trust you since it makes sense based on what you said. I figured it was temporary but wanted to see if this was a normal thing or not.
I'll have to pick one up as soon as they become available. Thanks for the heads up

Hey guys, just wondering what your opinion is on how this locked bootloader issue has affected the potential development of this phone. How bad do you think it really is? Countless people have returned their phones. I'm sure many potential devs have strayed from this phone or HTC as a whole due to this issue. This is a damn good phone as stock, who knows how much better it could be if it were unlocked from the start. What do you guys think the development will be like once it does get unlocked?

I've gotta think it'll pick up. The Inspire was the only "4G" HTC phone for a long time so I can't imagine HTC coming out with anything new on ATT for a little while at least so I gotta think if things do get rolling people will come.

I sure hope so, but it is depressing to think how many people we have already lost and how much potential devlopment is lost. I'm not sure how big of a factor LTE is to people though, considering it isn't widely available. Not sure when the next AT&T HTC phone will be coming out, but locked bootloader or not, this thing is a beast and is getting ICS. I really don't see a better AT&T phone out right now. Samsung Touchwiz is boring, and so is the Samsung development. There's just so much more devs can do with sense.

I'm kicking myself because I keep telling myself I'm just going to pay full retail and get international devices. I may still look for an Evo 3D or something, but although I'm in a non LTE area I can't wait for it to arrive.
I'll stick with this device and learn to develope for it should the day ever arrive. I'm sure if we ever get root, more devs will migrate. It is a truly capable device and a huge step from my tp2.
it will pick up some if the BL ever gets unlocked.
It really is sad that htc/att are dragging their feet on this. They are losing customers every day, I'm returning mine tomorrow. I really like the vivid but am a flashaholic. I have an amaze also and it doesn't really have much dev attention. I don't really understand why, it's also a great device. I honestly would probably be keeping my vivid if I didn't have the amaze, I'm a fan of the sense ui. I'll be giving the nitro a test for the next 30 days, it should be easy to root with super one click but as with most att devices it will probably take 3 weeks or so just to get a forum for it since it's not a Samsung device.

Could you return the Vivid, get another phone, and then return that phone and get a Vivid again? I'm just curious on how AT&T's return/exchange works. Is there a limit of some sort?

Yea, that's what I would probably do if I didn't buy my phone off-contract. Who knows when the next HTC phone on AT&T will come out. The last high end one was the Inspire and that was months and months ago. I think it'll be tough for these people that have always been with HTC to just switch and stay with another brand for a long period of time. Samsung UI is so boring it's not even funny.
Hmm right now I have a Samsung Captivate and I'm either going to the HTC Vivid or SGS2 and right now it seems like the Vivid is not the best option.
I flash ROMs weekly on my Captivate. I guess I was still ignorant and didn't know about HTC's decision to not keep the bootloader so open, like they promised.
Looks like the Samsung SGS2 is the better route...
I picked up a skyrocket because of the locked bootloader but as soon as its unlocked ill trade it for a vivid no doubt. HTC is good with making phones

I need a new phone with a physical keyboard. Was looking at the Droid4, which appears to have the best physical keyboard around, but am a bit of a newb at this stuff. My old HTC Dream (G1) is dying, and I need to figure this out sooner then later. Haha
Can it be unlocked to work on Rogers Wireless in Canada?
As of right now, no.

Thnx. Is it a case of no unlock? Or (lack of knowledge here) no GSM support?
Also, once an android device is rooted, is there an unlock app of some kind? Or?

Currently GSM support is disabled in the firmware and AFAIK it will stay that way until Verizon releases an update to enable it.
Was a bit disappointing they do not have the global services available on the Droid 4. If your looking for a device with keyboard right now you may be able to pick up a used Droid 2 Global. I know those work up there as I had one when I was in Canada last year.
All I can say is, damn. I can't believe how messed up the mobile phone industry is. There is a device, I want to use it, so much so that I'm willing to pay the crazy $549.99 pricetag for it. However, they've decided that I'm not allowed to use it on my network. I hope chinese clones step up their game! Heh.
I was contemplating a droid3, however don't want to spend too much since I may want the droid4 once its actually usable.
I was contemplating picking up a motorola flipout for the meantime, cheap and weird looking!
Also, this probably isn't the right place for a question about this, but I'm at a loss as to what the heck unlock codes actually are (are they issued by the carrier? or hardware manufacturer?) and why there are numerous scammy websites selling them. Can anyone recommend a site I can do some reading about this on? About why I'll probably have to pay for one? I may need to know this if I pickup a different used phone.
The SIM Unlock codes are usually given by the carrier to their paid customers. Verizon will give them out if you have had an account in good standing for 6 months if I recall right.
As for sites to get the unlock codes, I cannot make any recommendations due to I have never paid for them. I have however seen on sites like deals extreme unlocker SIMs that go between the phone and the SIM but have no idea if or how well those work.
Also if you buy a used device you may be able to get one that has been SIM unlocked already. The SIM unlock is a one time task, even if the phone gets wiped or reset it will remain SIM unlocked.
I still keep my G1 as a spare. My next step from that was a TouchPro2 - it comes with WindowsMobile, but I'm running XDAndroid on it. It has an excellent keyboard. I think I still like the TP2 keyboard better than my D4's keyboard.
But, the TP2 has the exact same processor as the G1, and only a tiny bit more RAM. It has a much higher screen rez (800x480) but no faster hardware, so it is noticeably slow.
If I were you I'd look at picking up a used Droid3. I was considering the D3 as my next phone from the TP2, but waited instead for the D4 to come out. As it is, I'm finding that Verizon's 4G service is cutting out all the time on me, so it's still better as a 3G phone. And I'm heading off to Europe in a couple weeks, and will have to bring my G1 or my TP2 on the trip anyway.
Curses to Qualcomm, Motorola, and Verizon. Verizon for their stupid policies and selling a phone with full-featured hardware and intentionally crippled software. Motorola for their locked firmware that prevents end-users, who have legitimately paid for and *own* the damn hardware, from installing software on it as they see fit. Qualcomm for preventing end-users (again, who have legitimately paid for and *own* the hardware) from even seeing the specifications so that they can provide their own software.

Bell sells the Motorola XT860, I'm currently using it unlocked on Rogers without a hitch. The only issue, I'm not sure if this phone will get official ICS support... The devs are hacking away at getting all of the cool ICS features up and running though
You can probably find an XT860 on Kijiji, Craigslist or even eBay for a lot cheaper than the full Bell price... heck they were giving them away on 3 year contracts during xmas. You might want to check out the Droid3 forums in the meantime to get some more info on XT860
Fwiw, i'm in Ireland now and popped an Irish SIM into the phone. Interestingly enough, you can swap the SIM while the phone is powered on, in Airplane mode. It still didn't work, but the phone didn't complain about any SIM lock. But when I rebooted the phone, it complained then.
There are properties in /system/build.prop for enabling world-mode. I turned these on, but looking at the radio logcat, it seems that our current libril-xxx.so just doesn't support any GSM commands.
The interesting thing is that the Motorola Atrix has the same Qualcomm MDM6600 radio modem as this phone. I'm going to look for an Atrix ROM and see if I can kang some libril files from there to see if I can get any further. (Btw, I wrote the multimode RIL for the XDAndroid ROM; this sort of investigation is my specialty...)

This phone is too early to jump into for me. I'll stick to my 4G Slide for now and check back on this device in a few months. Maybe development will pick up by then and they'll have the GSM thing sorted out

The phone worked fine for me on Rogers when I had it. I did a bunch of tweaking in order to get all of the functions working, but this was back in ICS. Also, no LTE is available...
But you're much better off going full touchscreen, just get used to it... I think keyboard phones are going the way of the dinosaur

OK guys this is perfect timing.. and i dont have much support for th eextra tweaking issues we have in Canada, with some of these phones and roms..
Anyhow. Heres my story.. You will like the ending!!
Ive owned a Droid 3 (XT860-BELLMOBILITY) for over a year now.. I came from the original Milestone 1 from Telus Mobililty.
4 weeks ago I had my Droid 3 stolen from me in the laundry room of my condo.. Well it was more.. forgotten by me (i think it was lost there.. for sure!!) and some lucky sole got their hands on it.. I can now use google and its cached pages of kijiji to see that it wass posted the day of.. lol ive got the kid selling other goods so its only a matter of time before i force karma upon him
I took a risk, but being desperate QWERTYDROID junkies like we are, and bought an American Verizon Droid 3 (XT862)
--Keep in mind that i knew nothing about unlocking, rooting, restoring, and doing the whole ROM/Bootstrap/TWRP/SAFEBOOT etc.. Im 35, been into pc's since i was 15, but never into MAC or LINUX.
At this point ive bricked these phones and the next one i speak about dozens of times, while attempting to do the practice makes perfect sort of journey to see what works, what doesnt, what sometimes does, etc.. Its always ended up being able to use the original stock rom's with no problems. (sometimes bloatwear was anoying) but not much support for our radios and etc.
So i had a bit of trouble getting this verizon droid 3 up and running as verizon themselves gives us extra work by trying to secure the load up of the activation process. Either way.. it worked, and still does, and ive gotten a few roms working on it like all SteelDroid, CM10.1, MiniMoto, and possibly a couple others. but these were the ones that can and will work, with a bit of trial and error.
shoot gotta run for a few minutes. so i wanna post this so i dont lose it all.
PART 2 of this story to follow within an hour!! But ill give you a bit of a spoiler.
I am using a Droid 4 now.. as a poster said justr before me, he had many issues to get past, well so did I, but them came the huge hurdles to get over also..
Still have my droid 3 xt862 that was wanting to sell. though,, im still not for certain ready to part with it..
be back shortly sorry about this..
next part in next post
What happened????

As far as I'm aware, there shouldn't be any problem getting this to run on a GSM network outside the United States. If the phone is on ICS or JB the GSM is unlocked already. If you use any of the ROM's, there's a thread in the "Droid 4 Android Development" called "Enable GSM on any ROM Patch" which should fully enable it.

I decided to get HTC One, after giving it some serious thoughts. I heard/seen gap issues on HTC One on some of the batches(some really bad). Wondering if this is still an issue on current batch(3rd), because I want my phone damn near perfect. I may wait a month or so if this is still an issue, but rather just buy it if the problem is minimal(no guarantee that it will be fixed on next batch). So what would you guys do if you are in my position?

@Thug_4_Life its exactly about cour chance. in my country lots of guys bought different batches eg ( HT34,HT35) some of them has gap problem some of them has not.
that means you have possibility if you buy new batch.
thats why , batch is not important, if you allowed to unbox device before buy, then dont care about batch (really willing to buy)buy it .dont spend time for nothing.
I bought my ONE last week.
No gaps or dead pixels (batch fa35)
does the fa35 come after the ht35, because i have the gap problem and an elevated speaker grill at the bottom of the phone, bottom left
Right, so I had the HTC One X, and it developed a camera fault, where the camera did not work at all!
Phone my carrier, and they said they would send me a new one. Called me back, said they didn't have any in stock, so they offered the HTC One silver instead. Bare in mind I only had the HTC One X since last September (2012).
I made a quick search while I was on the phone, and thought this looks cool.
So I haven't really done my research on it as of yet. So thought, what better way than ask you guys for your thoughts on the phone?
Is it worth swapping these phones? What are the advantages? And the most important question, how is the battery life compared?
