You need to root it before you can run market enabler. Doesn't matter that you buy it in Spore

thx for your information

Agree! even Singapore also not advertise on it. all cellular there never sell any unit of Nexus One, Milestone, X10 or upcoming Desire.

Android needs more publicity, still too many people thought the best is still iPhone.. what so fantastic about that?

It seems that Android really captured the US market comparing to others. One of the problems is the lack of marketing on Android devices. Telco such as Celcom which do provide Android devices didn't promote enough. They concentrate more on BB devices. It just saddens me when I heard people asking handphone salesman around and they don't know what Android is.

and when the seller didn't know about Android all they do is bluffing around...for example if check out the android device around sg wang...a very hectic experience....haissh!!!

LOL!
you quoted my post so i thought you're talking to me

You are talking about Nexus One. Its not sold in Malaysia, and it comes with the Market application by default. Market Enabler only adds PAID applications into the market. The market application itself is standalone and doesn't have anything to do with the market enabler. If you want to experience Android, just get one. We have more than enough resources to get you flying with your phone


Then you really should read my previous response. I just switch on the screen, and slide my slider to the left to turn into vibration only or sound + vibration. Easy

That is why we have built our community forum for Malaysians. If telcos don't see the potential, doesn't mean we have to just sit back and wait for action. We can play our roles in making Android famous here. We have realized that Android will conquer iPhone one day. That day, we will sit back and just say "See, we told everyone".

More and more people are joining everyday. As for me, my friends approach me for their technical needs. They ask, I answer, they follow. Thats how it goes. When they ask about phones, I always ask them "What is their budget" (We have an Android for all budgets). Then I ask them "which phone has he been checking out so far" (if he has one, I will know what are the features that he need). After that, I will explain to him some major phones and then ALL Android phones and I ask him to make the decision himself after knowing everything. Been good so far, a couple of my friends have switched to Android. Yesterday, a friend bought a HTC Tattoo. He went through the same process and budget was a concern for him so he chose Tattoo himself

That is how we play our roles. We don't have to scream it out. We just have to use our phones and have faith that its the best among any phones around us. It does half the talking for us When a big crowd cheers about something, others will want to know about it. Mingle with Androiders and you will find the experience even more interesting. Trust me

That's what all salesman have been doing in most cases. Some are honest. When they don't know, they will say it. But some will make up their own facts. I have had a few experiences with salesmen already. I went to KLCC HTC shop where I was just browsing other phones while waiting for my movie. The guy greeted me and was quite pleasant. He was explaining about all the Android devices that they had and their features (lol). I just kept silent and listened to what he said, analyzing his talks. He didn't fake stuff but didn't know the insides of Android when it came to rooting and stuff. He was honest though. I had my Nexus One for only a day when this incident happened, so N1 was VERY new back then. He asked me what mobile I was using, and I took out my wife's Hero. He was like...lol, so much explanation for an already Android user. Hero was the best Android phone back then when N1 just came out.
So, I asked him about the N1 and he said its a very new phone, Google phone, bla bla bla and that they didn't have it. I asked him if he has seen one..He said its not even in Malaysia..
I took out my N1, placed it in his hand and he was like

hahah...a very good experience to see the seller give a face to you....i wonder when is my turn then.. but looking back the price of Nexus One in malaysia shop, i must say it is PRICIER than it supposed to be...

IMHO, N1 is not popular, due to the Google's marketing strategy. No ads, no display set on stores shelf, no conventional marketing. Marketing only be done on the Net, but, many peoples still want to buy it, even there are 'serious' problems. ... To me N1 is still a great phone. I can browse internet, lowyat, read mails, updated Buzz, gtalk with shaz in komuter, everyday. Very convenient. Imagine, 40+ years old Pakcik 'botak' using N1 in public places.. , where other younger generation SMS/texting or play games with their phones.

N1 has lot's of potentials, with optimized kernel, improved dalvik vm engine, and other SW improvements.

TQ.

LoL ! i assume you are the 40+ years old Pakcik 'botak' using N1 ?

Erm bahathir, care to elaborate more on the serious problem of the nexus one here?

Here is the Google support forum

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/andr...473819af3&hl=en


And yes, I am the "Pakcik":)

Some people buy it because its just a new gadget in town, so they want to test it out of curiosity.
Some people buy it because it looks good and better than its iRival
Some people buy merely because its a rare item in our country
Some people buy it because they have too much money and don't know how to spend it
Some people buy it because they have experienced Android already and realize what they need from Android and feel that its applicable to their needs

And some people buy it because they realize the potential of Open system, have the love for UNIX, and have personal reasons for buying the phone..

Added on April 2, 2010, 3:18 amBtw, if you travel on komuter daily, chances are that you have met that ordinary "pakcik" who was using the N1 in public places. What you have not known, is that pakcik is the big man behind my GNU/Linux knowledge. Underestimate an elderly man using an N1? Think again.

Hi guys, i just got my N1 last weekend, and i've been playing with it ever since, hehe
I do have some questions, though

I can't seem to get my maxis 3G to work, even thought i've set the APN the same as what shahz showed, the 3G icon shows, and the uploading "arrow" will be lighted, but the download one just doesn't do anything

And also, will any of the original functions be lost if i were to root it? I've heard my friend saying she lost the auto-complete for text input after she rooted her magic

Thanks alot

i read in Desire thread they are mentioning that many current Nexus user will jump to Desire once it is release..

so anyone here is confirm to do so?

i myself not sure bout it yet, but in terms of design, for me desire looks a bit unbalanced because of it's lower button positioned.. and nexus one looks way sexier than the desire..

but i really like Sense UI and i guess my next move is depends on whether Paul or other devs manage to fully port the desire's sense ui into the nexus ..

just want to ask.......my cousin just bought N1 kat singapore .....suddenly his N1 jatuh ...then screen crack .....then .....then .......what he should do? hehehe

wheere can replace the lcd? and how much?

zaha, maybe u can try out pda gadgets at midvalley, they are supposedly doing the 1 year warranty for n1 being sold locally.

O.o serious ??

Personally I won't consider it as its akin to a 3rd party repair job. Although more expensive but i rather make that trip down south to Singapore.

anyone has any idea is htc legend out yet?
