I looked into buying a used Droid off ebay and doing pay-as-you-go on Verizon; no luck, you must have a $30/month data plan to use a smartphone on Verizon.

Are you using it with T-Mobile? If so, how is their service?
The best thing about T-Mobile is going to a big tech conference where AT&T's network is floundering and getting a great signal to rub in the iPhone users' faces. On a more serious note, I've only used it in SF and Seattle, but it's great there. I only pay $40/mo for unlimited data. (No minutes since I use VoIP.)

I'm thinking about getting an Android phone and like the idea of the unlockedness of the N1. Does the touch part suck enough that it makes it overly difficult to use the phone? I had a G1 before and it seemed usable enough...
I have unlocked N1 with Cyanogenmod and haven't noticed any problems with touch screen. I had G1 before and N1 is better, more sensitive.

How can you "fail to see" how plugging an iPhone on a thread called "which Android should I get..." is off topic??? Are you just acting stupid, or actually?
To quote the poster: "Or, should I consider another device from Verizon, etc. instead?" Suggesting the iPhone is perfectly fine because, as far as I'm aware, it falls under "another device."

There is always a new iPhone coming out, which is bigger and better than the last. Everyone seems to love this.
The difference being, that a new iPhone comes out once a year, at around the same time. So you can buy a new iPhone now, realising that there is no point updating it for a year.

The right answer is Nexus One on T-Mobile. I am not a huge fan of tmo's coverage here in San Francisco, but they have the best plans for what you want, I think. Nexus One because it's unlocked and also: it's the phone that Google employees use most therefore your phone will run the newest builds/features before everyone else's. When you get it: immediately root it ("fastboot oem unlock"). If you want to do it later,…

Q: Which Denny's should I go to? The one on Main St or another one? Idiot replies: The KFC on State St is the best.

A: You should go to the IHOP on First St. It's the best all-day breakfast restaurant in town.
I'm onto my 3rd Android, an HTC EVO. The screen is amazing - yes it is big and makes the phone big but I don't really find that a problem in my pocket. My Sprint plan is $60/month for unlimited data, texts, calls to mobiles, calls at weekends... the only metered calling is landlines during the working day, which I have 500 mins/month on. That for me is = unlimited all the way through. The 4G is amazing, although not…
I am a sprint customer and ready for a new phone and I know Sprint has great retention deals if you ask, wondering if you went that route.

With mandatory two-year contracts, that makes for potential unhappiness.
You can buy it outright in most of the world.
Lots of places have 12 month contracts (Optus in Australia).
And lots of companies are letting you get out early (ATT).
There seems to be lots of lies in this thread, something I don't expect to see on hacker news.
