Maybe this is the Moment's upgrade path for Andoid 2.1

Nice but Supersonic FTW next week!!

Nice but Supersonic FTW next week!!

Decisions, decisions!

My top 3 phones that I'd sell something expensive for (in no particular order):

O) Google Nexus One
O) HTC Supersonic
O) unnamed WinMobile 7

The Nexus One just looks awesome and like its the best Android experience yet. The Supersonic is 4G right? And on par with everything that the Nexus One can do. And a WinMobile phone with Live Games? Oh, who would not want that!?!

 

[toomuchgame441]

Well I'm definitely looking forward to the supersonic. That's gonna be a great device

 

[Android Walks]

Supersonic looks like it will be a POS IMHO, but I'm the type that has to have a physical keyboard w/ any phone.

 

[Eric-VTX]

lol i would hope not for you sake... this is already being disscussed alot of other places as well if you guys want some converstion on it

hahaha, Covert. Yah is funny I should off known it would off been out there...I did get the alert ~2:30ish. But in case you haven't noticed that I'm from MA...and we've been having some really great weather! Today and Saturday should be around ~70'c...so i was getting my bike ready before I hit the streets...so I posted it once I got inside the house! Priorities...lol

On that note, since I'm a bit of topic..lol If you had to chose from the N1 or Supersonic which one would you choose and why? My understanding is that the N1 was manufactured by HTC anyway? Thanks,

 

[LincKraker]

since the N1 for vzw will use the same hardware as the N1 for sprint(bands are the same) has anyone tried activating a vzw N1 on sprint? does the vzw N1 have preinstalled apps?

Nice but Supersonic FTW next week!!

So they put out a release date for this?

 

[Thefoodman52]

Nexus One on Sprint?

 

[LincKraker]

no release date or price has been released yet. they did say it was "coming soon" and we all know what soon means for sprint...

ya next week next month next year you be the judge!!!!

 

[Zumaki]

I like the nexus one (and after owning the moment this long have decided i could live without a physical keyboard if i had to) but I wouldn't buy one till the price comes waaaaay down. Especially since I paid almost $200 for the Moment and now it's being peddled around for $50. Definitely kicking my own ass for that one. This whole 'Moment debacle' has taught me that its not worth the price and hassle to get 'cutting edge' electronics.

Yeah, I saw that too. I also could swear I remember Samsung making an announcement back in Nov/Dec that Android 2.1 would be "coming soon" to the Moment

For kicking my own ass +1
For 'cutting edge' not being worth it +1

 

[flam253]

you can sell the moment for a lot more than 50 bucks lol.

 

[swandive]

Can't wait for the Nexus One to come out. If I had known about this a couple months ago I'd have held off getting the moment, but... looks like my fiance will be getting the moment

 

[htcman724]

i just got my moment like 8 days ago so i'm really hoping that either the n1 or htc supersonic gets here before my 30 is up.does anyone know the answer to this question....i have 30 days to take my moment back and lets say neither phone i'm waiting for it out can i change from the moment to another phone do you get another 30 days to return it or is this like a one time return?if i can do that i think i can find atleast 4 or 5 phones i would like to try while waiting on either phone.

 

[Thefoodman52]

Nope, the 30 days counts across all phones you try, plus you gotta pay 'restocking fees' of like $50.

I don't keep up with other phones that much. What makes the Nexus One and Supersonic so much cooler than the Moment?

1- The screen sizes are larger
2- The processors are much faster
3- (the greatest benefit) They are not being supported by Samsung.


Edit: To rephrase #3 (since the Moment isn't being supported by Samsung either)
3- They ARE supported by manufacturers OTHER than Samsung.

Nice.

so basically unless either phone comes out within the next 22 days i'm screwed.

The Sprint salesperson I use is testing the Nexus One now and likes it. He estimated availability in June or July but wasn't too sure. He said the Supersonic would be announced soon though.
