Since the Q1 is now "updated", I wonder how this would compare to the t1 bluetooth headset that they sell?
Guess I made a good choice ordering the t1 today. No one seems to be saying, "Wait! The t1 sucks"
the T1 is a great headset i love it but the only problem i have with it is the ear hook the rubber ear holder is not always spot on in the ear. I may look around and see what the price is on this one or see what the latest update does for the Q1.
love the T1; great prices, great sound, and I dumped my Jawbone Icon for it..
hope that with Froyo, you will be able to use all the voice commands on the EVO..
Thanks guys for the input.
Kratos - I remember the thread you started about ordering the t1 from the cellguru. Went ahead, bit the bullet and ordered from them.
On that note, was the product authentic? I mean...was it new condition like you would buy from say...bestbuy or radioshack?
got mine from cell guru; brand new, retail pack..
only down side is NO RETURNS ON BT HEADSETS through them..
Well I read the 300+ reviews and they showed that the products shipped out were authentic and good quality. Only a few people had problems, but cellguru made things right.
Freaking excited because I ordered it with FedEx 2 day shipping. Gotta give my Plantronics Explorer a proper burial
could have saved the money, cause they ship out really fast..I think they are in the Boston area..

you will love it the Headset calls off the name of the people that call you and the FREE APP in the market reads off your text messages and if you Get Vlingo you have more functions that will make you Drool Lol....

Well, Froyo is coming to the EVO in the next day or 2, so, I am kinda glad I held off on rooting..cant wait to actually use the headset the way it was meant to be used!!

I'm in Texas buddy it would take a while to get here. Plus I'm in school so I really needed it ASAP.
As far as FroYo goes, I'm really excited to get the Bluetooth functionality like the push-to-call feature that is missing from 2.1 OS. Hate the fact that I have to connect the Bluetooth and physically touch the screen to dial the person.
Fed up with all the negative posts. I saw the ASUS Transformer forums do the same in the early days of release.
1) I think my Nexus is great - I used to have a Desire. Now I have a phone that I think is MUCH better.
2) Im very happy for anyone who feels their phone is better but will have much more respect for those who compare based on hands on experience. However why KEEP posting on a Nexus forum why you think your phone is better ? Post how great your phone is on its own forum.
3) Im fully aware that there are some bugs. Most of these will be fixed by software updates. Its part of the 'fun' of being an early adopter.
4) Threads about hardware problems are fine and very useful. I havent experienced any myself (yet) and hopefully Samsung will fix/recall/exchange.
5) I know the camera is limited and 'only' 5mp. thats fine. i use my phone for point and shoot. Im old enough to remember the first digital cameras. This camera does me fine.
Regards,
Happy Nexus Owner
(are there any others out there ?)
p.s. I love my Transformer too.
I don't have one yet, but I'm planning on picking one up soon. New devices always bring out the loud-mouth whiners who apparently spend 8+ hours on the board complaining every day. I've got a job...
Anyway, the device looks great. I'm really excited. It will be my first Nexus device (although my wife did have the Nexus S, and I run CM7 on my EVO 4G). It will also be my first GSM device - I'm in the US and switching from Sprint to AT&T. I plan on picking up a European unlocked unit. Sprint's network has gotten really terrible lately. Can't wait for the new toy!

Where are you ordering yours from? I'm also on AT&T and looking to buy an unlocked gsm version from the UK. I've found: https://negrielectronics.com/samsung-i9250-google-galaxy-nexus-black-unlocked.html and http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.ph...xus-16gb--sim-free-unlocked--titanium-silver-
Handtec appears to be cheaper (after converting), but they aren't including the VAT charge in the price... so it may end up being more expensive.
other than the volume / 900MHz interference issue, I am really happy with this phone. It's just a shame that this issue is tainting the experience for me.
I love the screen, it's easily the best screen I've had on a mobile phone, Android 4.0 is great, along with all the updated Google Apps.
Google+ still cannot do notifications properly though...Google need to sort that one out!
But I am happy with the phone (albeit for the 900MHz problem)

VAT doesn't apply if you are shipping to the US. Ordered mine from there for AT&T and it was about $700 or so after shipping

You don't pay VAT when you import to the US. Negri is just seriously more expensive for some reason (most of their devices are more expensive).
Clove and Handtec both have phones (and all indications are they're reputable). I believe Handtec is holding shipments because they're aware of the volume bug. Check out the specific threads for the Clove and Handtec orders. Lots of info in there.
just posted a thread on the accessories about a great cheap case/cover ... order it in advance to keep your new purchase shiny
Next thing I like about my Nexus .... speed to pick up GPS !!! Ive even had some degree of luck sat in my office where it must be getting some info through a distant window

Good to know on the VAT charge... I guess I'll be ordering from Handtec, or possibly Clove.
One thing I am loving is in the developers section you can change the animation speeds. Gives a great different feel to the phone.

Believe it or not they're helpful. Yes, some lack detail and could be considered petty, repetitive or both, but I'm a big boy and can sift through banal chatter to glean some good comparitive information. And while everyone knows what the specs are in advance, actual comments on real-world performance are helpful. For example, I could give two craps about 5 vs. 8 megapixels in the camera but I do want to know how well it takes pictures and videos. And to say "you knew it was 5 megapixels before you bought it" every time someone posts their camera experience is a stupid and biased comment. If the forum were limited to nothing but happy posts it would simply be a club for fanboys.

erm.... i think you missed my point.....
I have no problem with negative posts. But .... if you were coming onto this forum to investigate a phone you would read:
1) Posts about hardware problems (useful)
2) Problems about software faults (useful - but ICS not Nexus)
3) People stating why they think their phone is better (inevitable)
You dont tend to find many posts praising the phone which i dont think provides a fair comparison. You dont get many people starting threads saying 'i have no issues'.
Im quite able to sift through what i do and dont want to read.
This thread was just to state that there are a lot of people (hopefully) who are pleased with their purchase and to state some of the good things about the phone.
Maybe some people investigating the Nexus will be able to see that its not all doom and gloom .... its a great phone
We are living in exciting times, the things these handsets can do we could only dream about just a few years ago. Bug or no bug I just love this device. Great performance, great display, just Android on another level. I trust Samsung will sort these issues out overtime, be it with new software or replacement hardware. In the meantime I'll enjoy my Galaxy Nexus.

Hi guys, I didn't get my one x from phones4u, just spoke to them apparently they put it through on the wrong deal and they have messed it up im not a happy bunny over it.
Im thinking of telling them I will go elsewhere but that then leads to the topic question, some people have been getting proper beats headphones with their orders. Can I ask those that got them and not just the cheap htc headsets what network/deal/store they went with?
I got mine from Vodafone. Ordered on the phone but they messed up the order, delivering today to a store that's actually CLOSED today. Luckily they helped me out in-store yesterday so I already have my nice, shiny new One X... with urBeats headphones (entry-level Beats 'phones, but still worth about £100). This is on a £41/month contract (free handset), but the free headphones offer applies across the board, so long as you're one of the first 10,000 customers. Go into a Vodafone store today and you'll probably be lucky, but hurry as I get the impression that this is gonna be one hell of a successful launch for HTC, especially given the buzz created by their 4-page cover ad in yesterday's Metro newspaper.
hello mate. i done a pre-order through 3 and did not get the beats headphones. what i have done now though, due to them not activating my account yet, gave them a lot of bs and told them i am not happy so i want the earphones as a compensation for all the hassle they are putting me through.
so the guy said once my account gets activated they will be sending them out to me. but i read some guys through vodafone got good deals and get the earphones with it..might be worth having a look there

You should definitely get compensation. I didnt get the headphones from Three, but they did give me £50 credit after I complained - ideal situation really as the Urbeats headphones are pretty mediocre
They said someone will be calling me back in the next 30 mins, to discuss the problem and put the order on the correct deal. I will see what they say.
I was hoping it would be another network other than voda that gave them three would be my ideal choice but oh well, its not a must have but im sure as hell not going out to buy a beats headphones myself but would have liked to have one to see how they are on the phone with the beats feature turned on. Oh well will stick to my sennheiser's if I cant get them as a freebie

Probably sound just as good anyway.. this beats gimmick is ridiculous lol. Plattans sound just as good, look better and are 1/3 the price. Either way, free upbeats/Compensation is still better than nothing, good luck mate!
hmm they haven't called me yet either going to call them up on my lunch and see what they have to say for themselves. I will push for compensation but who knows atm
Are Vodafone giving earphones or headphones? I think the lowest earphones are the iBeats ones which retail for 79.99 and also come in matching white/red to the white HOX and red Beats logo.
voda's site says urBeats headphones for all one x and one s orders, but its limited to the first 10,000 orders.
If you have choice, always take money compensation. Beats is overmarketed mediocre stuff, it's well overpriced too. On the phone side, there is nothing but a software bass boost (worse than in any decent audio player). Phones - you will get better sound from other brands and for less money!
But like someone said, it's better than nothing, UNLESS it's calculated into the price, then it's not worth it. To me Beats is worth the same as the iPhone-bundled 1Euro-worth white headphones people use because they think it came from Apple so it has to be great.
Beats is marketing its brand and I see more and more people with those headphones
oh well spoke to them they have cancelled my upgrade order they cant do it, they were upgrading me on tmobile but their back office team is saying they wont do tmobile anymore. I then said id take it on three she said we dont do them either so guess im shopping elsewhere, three have a good cashback deal via quidco will probably use them.

Holding off for now just because cancellation fee from Vodafone is still through the roof and waiting to hear about the SIII. This deal however, is sweet imo

Well, I just called 3 about this, and have been told that I'll be getting a pair of headphones in the post. Although they said they will be taking it up with the manager of the guy who placed my order, which makes me sad for him, but he did promise the headset.
The buggers at 3 sent me another regular HTC headset, and then have the nerve to tell me that I should just go and buy some Beats head sets as they don't have any instock. Then I'll need to send them proof of purchase and they will adjust my account for me.
So I should be out of pocket by about £50 - £70 because they lied to us about what we got. Should have just gone with Carphone Warehouse or P4U and gotten a media link or xbox and sell it.
Why is it that I feel that SGW is somehow being phased out. A 1.4 Ghz processor phone but no ICS Support. It is not very much talked about nowadays which is a little understandable because of new phone releases. But what's worse, in our country (Philippines), price went down by almost 5,000 pesos. That's more than 100 USD and it's cheaper than Galaxy Ace!
I'm getting very much dissapointed buying this phone
i can relate
been to glorietta 3 days ago to find the phone (SGW) i bought just this december is already on sale at 12k (much to my dissapointment),gawd i spent 17K+ for this.. the only explanation i got (from the samsung saleslady) was that they are trying to compete SGW with nokia's lumia hence the price slash..
It's the first time for me to buy an expensive phone, and also is the first time I saw a phone price drop in less than 2 weeks, and its one hell of a drop..
What's to compete with Lumia anyways, Symbian always fail to defeat Android.
It shouldn't have been the price that was changed but the features i.e. ICS official rom..
No respect to the first customers who bought the phone.
Now when I look at my phone, I find it not unique anymore but a stupid rubbish.

Please dont be disappoint, we already have CM9 here, and more builds/ports are in pipeline, trust me. its an amazing phone.
Guys, believe me, there is nothing to be disappointed with in the Wonder......
It is a super phone, and it is far from being forgotten....
there is a very active Dev community,
and peeps who are willing to help in any way, to make users experience better.
Also, just to compare our Wonder with the Ace, here is a comparison from Gsm Arena:
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4114&idPhone2=4397
I for one am glad I have the Wonder, and of course we do have ICS, in the form of CM9, now in Alpha 2, from Arco, Dev extraordinaire!!!!
A 1.4GHz CPU Powered..with tweaks available here....I guarantee no regrets whatsoever....

so you saw the price at cmkcellphones Pogi ? xD jajajja i was disappointed too i was planning to sell this phone but i was too late ( although im planing to buy s advance ) :| and this is my first time to buy expensive phone :| but they markdown the price.....
Moral Lesson i learn is to wait until they markdown the price jajaja or see the review of other people.
Yes I know there's nothing really to be disappointed of if we are looking at the bright side, but I ain't . I wonder if the downprice would hit the market. It seems even with this low price, W is still very unpopular. Lacks advertisements I guess.
Actually I bought this phone second hand just recently for 11 thousand pesos. (Just a week before the down price). I wonder if he foresee that there's gonna a be a price bargain. Anyway, looking forward to master Arco's success.

Because of similar sets from Samsung, no one set in middle range is getting popular.
But there is chance if the the W prices are going down, then lot of people will but it resulting in a bigger community and more development.

Samsung need not be threatened by Nokia's Lumia since it is a Windows phone. Android is more friendly due to its ease of use and due to mods mainly developed by people in this community.
I have been in a mall last weekend and Samsung released a dual core phone much like the Wonder in size and appearance, also in the original price range of the Wonder. That may be the reason for the price drop.
Didnt get much info though since I am not interested in getting a new phone at the moment.

look to it another way...
that price drop will cause more peeps to buy it and so there will be more users...
more user means more chance to get more support to this phone
i bought my G'W last december and here they are still arround 300 euro (17.000 pesos)
and for me it's still 300 euro worth

From his description, a recently released Samsung phone, pricing somewhat close to W's original release price, looks a bit much like W, and has a dual core processor, i'm pretty sure its galaxy S Advance.
Maybe the lesson here is, if your gonna choose a Samsung phone, don't settle for mid-range.

I was browsing the net today, when i stumbled across a new phone from HTC. The Desire C. Rubbish phone but...ICS! That's insulting! Check it out on gsm arena (it won't let me post external links yet xD)
yeah maybe its price dropped but if your only for a bit gaming and some browsing but more on texting, music and videos then definitely its the perfect phone, not the expensive, got a decent processor and more for only a cheap price. before buying a phone we must consider first on what we really want to do and if we can use its full potential, for me i wont buy S3 coz first its too much expensive now, there are many interface i find useless here in our country, and my lifestyle wont fit on that phone.
I have been trying to get infos on US version of Galaxy S3 whether it is Wolfson DAC or not, but unable to get any confirmations from early receivers yet. So, in a hope of receiving something, Can anyone of you who received Sprint Galaxy S3 confirm its audio hardware whether it is Wolfson DAC?
Ummm which either one is the better one I think Wolfson its the same as the og epic one of the bigger reasons im getting the phone the amp chip on the s2 doesn't cut it like the epic did
If you searched you would find that it does have the Wolfson dac

Actually this is not so clear cut.
I have been following this for a few weeks and apparently at the samsung launch party it was asked and reported that it did.
But no one as far as I have seen has actually confirmed this for sure (physically or by driver)
Here is another discussion with plenty of disagreement

So...If a current user of the phone has the know how to extract this info I believe it would be helpful.
I would love to help but waiting for my 32 gb ..........

There is no confirmation as of today yet. I am hearing samsung rep said us version has it but there is no valid confirmation as of yet. If you searched and found source of confirmation please do share.

Probably while you were writing your post, AndreiLux confirmed that the U.S. versions do no use Wolfson by linking to the system configuration files in the released source code. Well, that answers that, unfortunately.

welp, that sucks
wonder what else they stripped out?
Well, any audiophiles out there with some opinions as to how it sounds with decent equipment?

The tests over at GSMArena agree with you. They found lots of distortion, noise, and lack of stereo separation.
At least the U.S. Galaxy S III models have excellent frequency reproduction. I mostly ignore the dynamic range (I think it's difficult to be sensitive to the minor variations in this regard). I'm just worried that the noise will be high enough to be perceptible, and it doesn't make me happy to know my headphone channels are mixing more than they should.
I bought voodoo plus for my epic. Tried to put it on here and says it's not compatible

voodoo louder does not suppourt our devices... yet
I guess I'm just more concerned as to whether the DAC is good or not.

It all depends on how you look at it if you listen to raw "FLAC" format audio then DAC will make your phone sound beautiful but if your listening to lower quality mp3's then a compressor will defiantly do you well. All DAC is ;in a nutshell ; playing audio exactly the way it is.

The audio DAC (as people are using it here) is an electronic system that converts the digital files stored/generated on your phone and allows you to hear them on your analog devices like headphones and the speaker. If it introduces distortion and noise, then it will do so regardless of the source material. You could argue that it doesn't matter with ten-year-old, low-quality MP3s, but it does matter somewhat.
Also, I'm not sure what you mean by a "compressor" in the context of playback.
Also keep in mind that, ultimately, it doesn't matter that much. The audio quality is going to be better than anything you might have listened to twenty years ago, and most people aren't going to notice unless you have a good set of earphones or speakers and are listening at a very loud or very quiet volume. If you tend to keep your volume around the middle of the "bar", I think you'll be hard-pressed to notice anything at the differences we are discussing here.
According to those tests the dac in the s4 krait is a actually superior to both the gs and gs2..and I can personally tell you my evo LTE sounds great with both my beats tours and klipsch ear buds
