I am big fan of apple products although nexus one is superb phone I heard customer service for nexus one is not satisfactory and i will say just be patient because apple is going to launch iphone 3g by mid 2010

yes I switched too.. well India doesnt have good 3g yet and 3gs is a still a distant dream, so is droid or nexus one..
i switched because I use more google than apple products and nexus one integrates with google PIM suites brilliantly
and Notifications are awesome not to mentiion the hardware that all talk about. but my fellow iphone fans who made the switch may be unhappy with the media part or the capabilities of thirdparty apps

No 3G issue so far, hasn’t drop to edge on places I’m using the phone at.

I dropped AT&T for T-Mobile. I did tried it with AT&T Edge for a day or so but it was painfully slow. But if you don’t care about that then it shouldn’t be a big deal. Just don’t spend 250 for ETF on AT&T

Are you using this phone on AT&T? I’m really tempted to get one but at $560 it must be a good deal. I’m on 2 years contract with AT&T with iPhone 3GS but would love to know how it stacks up with iPhone in terms of usability on 2g EDGE. Love to hear you back.

most people are probably not buying unlocked versions so this is a major issue coming up to be repeated for sure by many manufacturers, carriers, etc. everyone will push the envelope until they get a smack on the hand and then they will cry about it and pull back a little. not a good sign of things to come for subsidized hardware. also there is the 3g issue supposedly going around. do you experience this issue for your phone?

Yap, I think in my case, I don’t have to worry about it as I bought the unlock version of Nexus One and signed up with AT&T without contract.

I’m happy for you, but with this Google deal on the table you need to be really sure as there’s really no going back. I also put up with ATT at times, but its actually gotten better for me here in LA and I’ve owned all three iPhones, and currently have the 3Gs.

Google Says Nexus One $350 ‘ERF’ Is Necessary
Today, 1:12 PM by Eric M. Zeman

Google sells the Nexus One directly to consumers, with or without a T-Mobile contract. The Nexus One costs $529 without a contract and comes unlocked. In order to receive a subsidized price of $179 (for new customers), T-Mobile requires a two-year contract. It has come to light that customers wishing to break their Nexus One contract early will not only have to pay an early termination fee to T-Mobile ($200 in first 18 months), but also an “equipment recovery fee” of $350 to Google. Those who break their contract in the first 120 days will pay a total fine of $550, which is more than the full retail price of the Nexus One. Today, Google defended its ERF as a method to recapture some of the subsidies it gives contract customers. A Google spokesperson said, “This is standard practice for third-party resellers of T-Mobile and other operators.” This $550 far surpasses Verizon’s $350 ETF, and the $175 ETFs levied by other network operators
