And if not, will it make any difference at all? Basically wondering if my phone will just go as fast as it can, or if it'll be suck at the same...

    Google Voice and N1 SMS question?

    So when people send me a text message to my google voice number, it shows up in the google voice app, and then still forwards it to my regular number so I get the message twice and am being charged for incoming texts.

    Root Benefits of rooting N1?

    So I see a couple similar posts to this in other forums but no clear answers. I am going to wait to root for a bit but ultimately it is something I think I want to do. I understand how to do it and the risks involved, but what I am not really clear on are the benefits. I know it lets me run...

    Stupid Question

    On the 4th homescreen (first to the right) there is a task bar with 5 icons. I don't see anywhere where they explain these. I recognize some and figured out some but still not 100%. Could someone list them in order for what they do?

    Protecting your Nexus One

    Now I, like many, have ordered my N1 today (Very excited). I paid the right out 530 and then some. This is the first phone I will own that I would have considered it worth getting phone insurance on. I have talked to a Tmo rep, and they said they only offer phone insurance on phones they sell...
