Your experience isn't unusual. A lot of N1 users blame Tmobile's network for 3G issues, although Google's statement could lead one to believe that it's a hardware problem. Personally I love the N1, but the Incredible will be $99 (plus a $75 bill credit) for me with VZW using my online and NE2 discounts. I'm still waiting to see a demo before I make a final decision though.

 

But I've been hearing the Nexus One for Verizon could have some nice updates.

 

N1 won't be coming to Verizon. Google says to order Incredible instead.

IDK if it still works....

 

I did it manually, was flawless and took 2 minutes.

 

And yes, I'm posting this while using my 3G hot spot connection now available via Froyo

 

I'm doing the manual update on my brothers N1 right now and it looks like it's gonna work

 

used that type procedure to update my droid to 2.1. worked like a champ. i want 2.2!

 

Got pretty turned off this phone since I couldn't play with it in a store, and I didn't like the lack of a keyboard, so I'm going for the MyTouch 3G Slide instead, it's a great alternative for t-mobile guys out there to consider, I'm sold (not my pic) I will have mine on Monday It's a lot like my MDA only better camera and much smaller form factor

 

picked up my MyTouch 3G Slide today, so far I'm very impressed, still have to figure out a lot of things, but so far I really like it

 

With the eyes of the technology world squarely on Apple's iPhone 4, Google quietly announced it will stop selling the Nexus One, its first and possibly only foray into the smartphone world.

In a two-paragraph post on its official blog, Google's Nexus One team said the next shipment of the phones will be the last.

"Once we sell these devices, the Nexus One will no longer be available online from Google," according to the post.

The announcement was made Friday, the same day that Apple CEO Steve Jobs held a news conference to announce the company's solution for reception problems with the popular iPhone 4.

Running on Google's Android operating system, the Nexus One was released in January to mostly positive reviews from the tech blogosphere. Early users compared it favorably to the iPhone and liked the ability to buy the phone, albeit for more money, without a data plan from a particular service provider.

But sales were anemic, with the phone selling only 135,000 units in roughly the same time it took the iPhone and the Droid -- Motorola's phone that runs the Android system -- to sell 1 million.

Many blamed Google's experimental try at selling the Nexus One only in its online store. The company abandoned that approach in May, offering the phone in brick-and-mortar stores for the first time.

With the announcement, Google seems satisfied to write off the Nexus One as a tool to experiment with Android's features.

Recently, the search engine giant has been pushing Android users to phones made by other manufacturers, such as the HTC Droid Incredible. May's announcement mentioned both the Incredible, for Verizon customers, and the HTC Evo 4G from Sprint as phones that have benefited from advances made on the Nexus One.

^ I heard about this on Friday... I think CB mentioned it in the AD thread... but I didn't see this until today on CNN... I think Google is planning support for them for a while still...

 

Well, that was short lived.

 

I think they realized they don't need to do it. Android devices are selling at such a high rate, they are diminishing returns by putting all that effort into one device. It's dev phone anyway.

 

Yeah. The Nexus One was basically to set a standard down for all the recent Androids since they were all over the place. Now that it got the job done, Google doesn't need it any more. Apparently, there won't be a Nexus Two as well.

Google will continue to support the phone and it will still probably get Gingerbread before the others. Cyanogen still uses it as his primary phone so you will definitely get support from him. He doesn't seem to be upgrading his phone any time soon.

They're making so many advances with the phone. They've been able to add 720p HD recording and they're working on the FM radio transmitter. As long as Cyanogen is around, you will get your updates. Maybe unofficially, but at least you know its there.

 

Plus it isolates their hardware partners like motorola, samsung, etc when they make a device that competes with them. This is why MS never designed their own Windows Mobile phones.
