Well it's been an adventure..... But my Nexus One finally got to the point where it's irritating me. (My Power Button stopped working.) I don't have insurance on it, anyways everything else is in perfect condition running Cyanogen Stable version. I don't know I've owned G1, Mytouch, Nexus, and I guess I just want something new for the New Year, I am trying to wait and see what new phones come out, but I preferably want something with a Front Facing camera. I was thinking of the Mytouch 4G, or the G2(but has no front camera)

What do you all think my next phone should be? I have Tmobile, I would like to sell my Nexus first before I buy my new phone (of course)

u bought the day of launch? thats how ur warranty is done? Also I got my wife a G2, the phone is great, i like it a lot. Just buy a Nexus S unless you want the LG Optimus 2X. I just dont see how a dual core could have a good battery.

I was thinking of the Mytouch 4G before the G2 for the front camera, when is the LG Optimus 2X suppose to launch??? Is it for Tmobile? And I bought the Nexus from a person on XDA while ago.

1. Had the same problem with my first (bootloader unlocked) Nexus One. HTC replaced it in under 2 days. I sent it to them on Monday via UPS with their prepaid shipping label, and the replacement was on my doorstep Wednesday morning.

2. The MyTouch 4G is the only one on T-Mobile I'd consider a worthy replacement. If you go with an HD2, yes you get screen real estate, but you also get ****ty battery life, no front-facing camera, no guarantee of Gingerbread, let alone Honeycomb, and most importantly, no HSPA+.

3. The G2 is pretty rad. Bought for my wife, she loves it. She's a physical keyboard type, but I dislike the added bulk and weight, though the rest of the phone is quite solid. 800mhz 2nd gen snapdragon OC's to like 1.4Ghz if you want.

All-in-all, I'd recommend you do what I'm doing, which is to return your Nexus to HTC for repairs and/or fix it yourself with the aforementioned link, and then wait for the LG Optimus 2X before you decide.

Dual-core Tegra2, HSPA+, and 1080p recording make me not give a sh*t about any other phones coming out right now, tbh.

thought I already mentioned I had no warranty o_O
but HD2 eh? Hmm I want a front facing camera o_O
Assuming you're a frequent desktop video chat users, looking into moving that habit to mobile platform.. my experience with video calls on a notebook or mobile phone is still on the awkward side especially when I am out but than again that's me...

Tempe Arizona!
my mom just got a MT4G and its a sick little phone... I am not big on Sense but overall the build quality is great and the reception is solid as well. I still like the LED screen over the TFT but w/e... cannot have everything right?

I would honestly get you N1 fixed and then wait for all the new goodies to come out here in February... CES is in 3 days so you do not even have to wait that long to see what is in store for us...

Alright well then ill keep the Nexus, how much did it cost? I see that HTC is indeed covering damages without insurance or warranty I think.
LG Optimus 2X, when is that coming out? :D And is it Tmob?

I spent about 5 hours at Best Buy yesterday trying out all the Android's on every carrier. IMO the best phone out there is the Nexus S. Sure it's not perfect, but what it does have it excels at. Almost everything I loved about the N1 has been improved with the S. I love the pure google experience without all the crapware that comes loaded on carrier phones. Plus, the S will always get everything first. I won't leave Nexus but I'll be happy with the S until something better comes along

Unless you bought a stolen phone, it should still be covered under warranty.
HTC covers their devices for 1 Year and considering the N1 isn't a year old yet, you should still be covered (even if you bought it used).
