Getting rid of the trackball would be stupid. It would gimp it's text editing capability back to the stone age where the iphone resides.]]>Jan 26th 2010 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/
Hey. The trackball is part of the reason I chose it. All touchscreens need a fallback pointing device.

Lets be honest, no one goes to wal-mart for the customer support or good atmosphere. You go to save money. If you have questions go to a T-Mo store ask your questions and leave or go to a discussion site. ]]>Jan 26th 2010 7:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/Jan 26th 2010 7:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/
and I don't see this ever being $99 just because the currnt fees are rediculious. They would have to charge $400 if someoe tried to get out of their contract early]]>Jan 26th 2010 7:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/Jan 26th 2010 8:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/Jan 26th 2010 8:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/Jan 26th 2010 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/A lot of the time though the price difference is like 11 cents, since Walmart prices a lot of stuff as x.88 whereas Target doesn't. There's a few items where you'll see larger spreads but more or less the pricing spies keep the prices pretty similar. So if you prefer shopping at Target it's usually not some huge financial hit, but when Walmarts are near Targets usually the Walmart is slightly more aggressive on price.
I would say the biggest weakness of Walmart is it's crappy computer parts pricing-it just isn't able to keep up with the superfast cycles like specialty computer stores can. So you'll see hilariously lousy video cards insanely outdated but with their prices only cut by Walmart's weird internal formulas.
But honestly I get pretty crappy service at Target, and while I sometimes get some lame service at Walmart I actually think overall the workers have been friendlier and more helpful there. I remember back in college I didn't have a cooking knife so I went to Walmart for the first time in my whole life and asked for help with finding the knives and the lady did one better and went and dug out a decent set of cooking knives on clearance for $2.99-not the greatest cooking knives ever but they've held up nicely till this day.
I will admit that the clientele at most Walmarts isn't exactly made up of the super-wealthy but I don't think I'll ever mind-the only reason I'd shop there less if I had more money is that Walmart doesn't really sell a lot of higher-quality items, but for the stuff you buy for daily living there's really no reason to go buy super-expensive garbage bags elsewhere (although Target does have good prices on garbage bags now in their bulk purchasing section).]]>Jan 26th 2010 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/Jan 26th 2010 7:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/Jan 26th 2010 7:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/

- Keeps telling me the wrong person has texted, annoying.
- Sometimes boots up into the bootloader (Unacceptable for mainstream device.
- Camera can look pink at times
- Sometimes text messages say failed even when they sent, so you try sending again and end up sending the same message 6 times. It stays under failed, then when you next turn the phone on it sends all failed texts!?

I cant imagine how these things got through the testing stages, as my best mate as the same device and is experiencing all the same issues.

Something is wrong with your phone, I only have one problem which you described which is the pink camera in low light conditions. ]]>Jan 26th 2010 8:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/
Mostly the camera is very good, but in very low light -- here's an extreme example -- those cakes were all a standard lightish-beige cake colour: http://twitpic.com/zebtn

Images in good light are much, much better:

I remember the story on engadget about a year ago but cannot find it. If this is true, then all phones should come out this way. I don't mind it a little bigger because of the duel radios. Even if the phone was $500, the total cost of ownership has the potential to be a huge gamechanger. ]]>Jan 26th 2010 8:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/Jan 26th 2010 8:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/

What I meant was, the network doesn't matter to me, there isn't one that doesn't have some tradeoff from another is some way. The way I see it, the only thing that differentiates my network from others are my choices of phones. It's pointless to debate about which network is better and why, the basic principle is the same and I no more want to trade my cellular provider for one that is just like it simply based on which phone I am allowed to choose for myself. I want an android phone, and at this point, the lesser evil in my mind is the carrier which allows me to choose the one that I want because in the end, it doesn't matter to me beyond that. I'll still have a voice and data plan, for which I will pay. It's not like t-mo offers me anything more than the phone I want at this point. My choice is whether to leave at&t just for an N1. It would be easier to me if there is an N1 that can run on at&t's 3g network because I just don't want to leave a carrier based solely on the phone alone because I've been with at&t for years and see no reason why I should switch other than the phone -- which is why I'm waiting. The at&t network works fine where I live, while many that I know who use t-mo have issues. I would prefer an N1 on at&t. I've very emotional about it really, so perhaps I come off as a bumbling idiot, sorry for the confusion. I'm not a fanboi or anything, I just want my choice with my carrier.]]>Jan 26th 2010 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/Jan 26th 2010 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/walmart-greeters-will-soon-welcome-you-to-a-nexus-one-with-sprin/
