Right… Seems google wants his foot in the door without much drama… It is still a very nice phone… I am even liking the UI less setup it has… The game changer will come later once white space tech & vo-ip gets added to the 2nd or probably 3rd gen of this device… Just speculation on my part but I think by next year the game changer will on it’s way… I hope..

Y314K,

Well, it seems this isn’t such a big game changer after all.

Min. 3:20 â€“ You can see the 3 Doc Pins for HTCâ€™s Doc with Bluetoothâ€¦ Itâ€™s 3 small contact pins + a mic hole on it on the bottomâ€¦

Min. 2:15 – re-listened to it… Someone else mention he was probably talking about not needing the Data Plan if one uses Wifi with TMobile… So, he seems to be talking that you can activate the phone with TMobile with a Data plan or without a Data plan… Since it has Wifi… I read to much into it… He is just happy he is not force to get a Data plan when he got his out-of-contract sim card from TMobile after he got his Nexus One…

First vid of the Nexus One recording video + other info by someone that isn’t scare of Google since he doesn’t work for them… But they gave him the phone at a conference…lol

http://androidforums.com/nexus-one/31310-nexus-one-review-you-tube.html#post218707

Enjoy… Not a great steady vid but I think it has the most info so far…

Min. 2:15 – For some reason he thinks on TMobile he can get Data without having data activated on his TMobile Sim card… Wonder if he will have a bad surprise on his next bill or if he uncover something better… FREE DATA… No idea… But I think bad surprise on his next bill sounds right..

Min. 3:20 – You can see the 4 Doc Pins for HTC’s Doc with Bluetooth… It’s 4 small contact pins…

Min. – 3:55 – He mentions that he got the phone at a google conference & that he doesn’t care to post the vid since he doesn’t work for Google & there fore can’t get fired for posting it…

yeap… Just trying to make sense of it… lol

Since we don’t know anything from the inside regarding price… This is just wild speculation from the outside..lol

Hopefully we will learn more during CES Jan 7-10…

More wishful thinking..lol

Y314K,

There is no way they will sell the phone for $200 no contract, regardless of manufacturering cost (and HTC would never sell them a phone for $150). would HTC sell them a phone that cheap and destroy sales of their own Bravo, Passion, etc that they will sell for $500-$600.
Your getting wishful at that point, my friend lol

Im also curious what will be the benefit of the phone as well with the specs and pricing most likely similar.
Only thing I can see Google going for is that it will be updated and controlled by Google, so no more waiting for Android updates from the carrier, Google will send them out immediately. But for us who root, that isnt a big advantage.

Well have to wait for more info as always lol

The reasoning for the low price expectation is that the phone manufacturing is believe to be around $150 for a large order…

If that amount is right on the manufacturing of the phone… Then google can choose to sell it directly for $199…

Now whether googles order with HTC is high enough for that pricing per unit & whether google will choose to sell it at cost or very near cost is unknown right now…

But that is why $199 unlocked & out of contract keeps getting thrown out… Just speculation…

TheUnlckr: Well, I guess we are just hoping & grasping at straws that something is special enough to make sense why is google releasing this particular htc phone to more then just developers… If it is not different then what HTC was going to release already… I don’t understand what is the point of google selling the Nexus One on a wider scale then their unlocked developer phones… Unless this is their canary in the mine…

- No White Channel (No Free Wifi)

- No Data Only (No VoIP only)

- No Low/Free Pricing (No different then any other contract price with TMobile – $200 in contract/$450 out of contract )

- No point of getting this phone….

The HTC Bravo has an optical pad & 720p recording & Adobe Flash support(now not later) & Sense UI & better cam zoom… If both phones are gonna cost the same in & out of contract, then what’s the point of this phone… One can just turn off the HTC Sense if that’s not u’r thing… The only other difference I can think of is being able to upgrade to the latest build of Android directly from google from a download instead of having to wait for the new Sense UI from HTC thru the carriers… But that is not a big deal since one can just root it and stick an even better Frankenstein Rom from XDA…

Like I said back in Nov. This phone seems to be a me too type of device… Seems google wants to get into the selling hardware very slowly… Which means we probably need to stay away till the 3rd or 4th gen of google device releases… Unless there is something we don’t know yet about this phone…
