Nexus One & T-Zones

Currently I have an iPhone with T-zones on it, do you think the Nexus One will be able to use T-Zones?  I'd buy a Nexus one if I could do that.  I only check my email and check the weather app, that's about it.

As with other Android phones on tmobile, probably not.

Welcome to TmoNews by the way.

I just ordered mine, but there was no option for a data plan to select.  I wonder if when I get it, I will be prompted to pick a plan.  Has anyone heard anything on that?

Did you purchase it unlocked? If you did. You should just be able to stick your sim card in there and just use wifi. Otherwise if you wanted a data plan, you would have to set that up with tmobile.

but what about the market?

You can access the market via wifi.

But I think I will add the data package, because I want the full features of the phone 24/7.  Don't you think that makes sense?  I won't want to not be able to get my emails, ya know...and things like that.

I second this.  Sure, you can use everything on WiFi, but 90% of the Android features use a web connection.  If I'm spending $530 on a phone, I want to have access to all the features all the time.

yes u can use Android with t-zones.. i tried it on my sisters G1 with NO problems.. i even have Android 2.0.1 (linix haret) on my SD card in my TP2, and 3G and the marketplace work.

J, eventually they will give you the "Need an Android data plan" message. I replied to this very same post when you posted before. :-/

u sure? i know the new data plan (first phone/web2go) are able to detect which phone your using, but not in t-zones.. if he's buyin it unlocked, it wouldn't hurt to use t-zones anyways

Yeah, T-Mobile will detect that you're using an android device. So I don't want anyone getting disappointed when the 5.99 plan doesnt work.

then what about the 2.0.1 (Eclair) Android on my TP2 using t-zones?  i haven't been kicked off yet   lol

Maybe the key is unlocked? I suppose the Google ION was unlocked too though, so most likely this will have the same fate. It's possible that t-zones could work up until T-mobile starts selling the phone in their stores.

To the best of my knowledge the whole blocking thing is done via IMEI numbers. Maybe T-mobile got the whole range of myTouch numbers loaded into the system when they started selling it, and the google ION was covered in that range.

At this point, the fate of the Nexus One is completely in the air given its status as an unlocked phone, IMO. Even if T-zones works now, it might stop working in a few months. I would count on having to buy android data eventually.

I cant say for certain, as no one can right now but I wouldnt think it would have to have the Android data, your buying it unlocked..no strings attached to t-mobile at all. If they can detect the phone then they will ask you to get the data regardless, but considering its sold unlocked without data required I dont see how they could force you to have it.

T-Mobile detects G1 and MT3G.  I've seen people using Cliq and Behold 2 on T-Zones though.  It doesn't appear they are blocking IMEI numbers with those devices.  Who knows what they'll do with N1.

hmm interesting, then I hope it does work with the N1.

I think they will catch on, and they will end it.  But if you can get all the features at a cheaper price, do it.

They will catch it eventually but for now your okay. The provisioning probably wasn't handled correctly resulting in this rare yet not so rare occurance.

activated N1 this morning over wifi. plugged my sim in around 12pm and t-zones has been working perfectly since. will it keep working? who knows... ill keep you all posted
