THIS ....is it!

This is the device I've dreamed of the last 10 yrs....and I've run with most all the latest and greatest.
I dumped my only big gripe about the browsers mobile-only page viewing, but the fact is this phone surpasses even my extreme contentment with the Galaxy S2 I've been running on ATT and Sprints Wimax MiFi.
Whoda thunk a carrier could take the device with the highest kudo's in the industry and make it better. A Carrier?
Sure, I'm gonna dump the bloatware and get Villians Rom on here asap as well as overclock and undervolt.
But how does this top the SGS2?
*love the bigger screen (ever since I played with the infuse).
*GPS much more accurate
*browser speed is faster...not by much, but consistantly (slightly) faster.
*text reflows via pinch past the first doubletap.
*International version struuggled at times with MMS transmission. No more.
*Without a doubt camera is quicker, all pics are slightly brighter and dilineation is better.
*Overall auto-brightness is dimmed (was too bright before...has marked effect on battery already and its only on the first cycle!
*not that I care (wink) but twice already I've gotten: "wow, what phone is THAT?!"
So major kudo's to Sprint here for putting out the phone of the year! ...so far (yeah, Iphone5...Nexus Prime...I know).
Never been able to say this before....but this is perfect out of the box. Doesn't NEED root...but all root goodies will be purely gravy.
(Oh, cept for the browser gripe....I DID mention that in another post didnt I?...I'll have to check!

I cant disagree with anything you said. I could root and be happy..but that wont happen. I will still have to try every ROM at least once

yep, one hell of a phone! the only problem i have its sprints network being so bad. it's better on rural areas tha in the cities here. columbia and charleston are very crappy while newberry gets 1Mb. this is all in south carolina btw. its the only reason why i also have a verizon phone. data is far more reliable.

I already said this in another post but I think a big reason why the network is slow is because of Virgin/Boost/Walmart's straight talk(sprints network)_. I switched from TMO from Sprint about 8 months ago and it was definitely better in my location... Eugene, Oregon. I think it may just get worse since those $35-50 unlimited plans are pretty hard to pass up especially when the android phones their getting are slowly getting better every season. We do have the 4g.. but I find it's fine if your in one place.. using while traveling it's inconsistent .. for example I can stream netflix low quality fine on 3g.. but 4g streams it great but if I'm driving it will disconnect occasionally when it switched to 3g when it has to.
..... But yeah other than the overtaxed network this phone is fantastic.

I know this is above and beyond,but my work has me out and about all day, and I need the internet and need a good signal.
I got the MiFI...about 4 months ago ($35mo) and in addition to connecting multiple devices it greatly amplifies the 4G (and 3G actually) whenever the signal gets weak.
I struggled with a 4G signal deep in a building, I switched to the wireless MiFi and I had strong 4G immediately.
I know for most its not a consideration but works well if needed.

People are always talking crap about "sprints network" even though it pushed the industry into 4G technology. I was pushing over 4 MB/s download speeds while my apple fanboy friends where still trying to impress me with their 1200 kb/s 3g speeds on their locked down iphones with battery's going bad and patented special apple screws lol. Sprint pushed this industry into higher speed data traffic, sprint put HTC and Android on the map in partnership for the HTC Evo 4g. Sprint is always getting the best phones to it's customers the fastest it can before other carriers. Sprint has made smartphone history and have excellent service and I commend them for it as a proud android user. ATT or Cingular are monopolistic thugs, Verizon is no better, both are rip offs. Sprint = Freedom. Unlimited baby, that's how we roll. See you when you're at the beach with a rooted android device on the sprint network and wireless tether without a worry in the world how much data you're eating up. Then you'll know what true wireless service means.

With that said, I have the epic 4g touch and it's a monster. The only phone Galaxy S2 in the world that will have the original xyenos processor with a 4.52 inch screen, the first released in the USA and the only one with notification lighting. All compliments of Sprint. Job well done, the phone is unmatched and won't be for a long time. Sprint sets the bar once again.

[q] who made the switch to iphone?

i just had to do it lol .. not bad at all imo

You switched? I said I wasn't thinking about it..but now I am.
My phone pissed me all the way off today. Unplug from 10am at 99%...at 2pm I'm at 25%. 25!!!!!! And from 10am to 2pm, I was in my class for an hour and didn't even touch my phone. That's basically 4 ****in hours. 4! I'm still pissed. I've been pissed all day. Let me know how that phone is.
Edit: And you'll probably get flamed for this. People might come in and be like "THE EFF THIS GOTTA DO WITH THE E4GT!!" and this will probably get closed...if it does, pm me. I really want to know about the iPhone

Don't give two ****s about the iPhone. Enjoy being a sheep. And imo, you're trolling.

im loving this phone so far i got the 32 gig i have had all the top sprint phone 3d , photon, and the epic touch ......only thing i miss from my epic is the screen size ... so far speed very fast. better cam better screen i will update on batter life later

Not me. But, I know my daughter wants one. I will do it once the prices drop on Ebay for a clean ESN one off contract. I myself will NEVER own APPLE. It amazes me how people hated M$ years ago and now Apple is doing the same and it's ok. But to each his own. Hope it treats you well. My sister loved hers.

i am a fan of tech, not companies. If an apple product fit my needs from a phone standpoint, i would make the switch no questions. Right now, ET4G is what i am digging, but if you get what you need with an iphone great!

Will you ask siri why we have los

That is the way I also think.....I would switch if the 4s came out with a 4.0-4.5 screen, had a 4g radio would be even better if it had SuperAmoled. Right now it would be a downgrade for me on what I want out of a phone.

if it had 4.3" screen and wimax, I would have bought one
but for now, especially since its off contract, and id need at least 32gb.....who has $749 for a phone lol
Ill wait for the iphone 5 LTE version I guess

What a mistake
Just got my iphone 4s in the mail today and i regret it already after 5 hours,this os is so lame and boring theres nothing to it got to spoiled on android with customizing everything,not much different from when i had the very first iphone.forgot about no flash too wtf was i thinking listening to all these paid off reviewers that always give it over rated reviews and the pics are good but not as good i dont care what anyone says.pics i have take with my epic 4g touch are cleaner,brighter,sharper and better even when compared on my desktop,even with the random minor issues my 4g touch had it is still better by far.every issue could but fix with updates that should be around the corner.iphone 4s is a mistake and waste of money unless u like no flash or sd slot or just dont like doing cool things to the appearance of your phone,very plan os.selling on ebay tonight already reconnected my epic 4g touch,now i will never leave android.
you have been warned!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did the opposite 4 weeks ago, went from iphone on att to epic 4g touch. Happy that I did for many of the same reasons listed above, also the screen size, camera quality, etc..

The Eris experiment was a failure for her and soured her on Android big time. She then brought an old Blackberry back into service and was miserable with it. I faired better but missed out on sharing the Android experience with her. We both got the Galaxy Nexus and couldnt be happier. This phone is damn good. The software is even better.

Glad to see people enjoying the phone instead of them *****ing when they really don't understand what they're doing.

Why do you? the iPhone is a great phone. Not open like android but the software is very optimized and polished. Senseless apple hate just pisses me off.
On topic: I love my verizon galaxy nexus as well. Battery life is only decent on the stock battery but I ordered the extended battery to make up for that. 4G speeds in my are are faster than my verizon fios internet (26mbps down on 4G vs 20mbps down cap on my fios internet), and the screen is awesome.

Best solution, get Nexus and iPod touch. Now you have the best phone and if you want anything that an iphone can do just tether! only thing you cant do is call or txt on ipod touch.

Ive owned every Nexus devices and have switched carrier to carrier trying to find the perfect network-to-Nexus collaboration, haha. Ive finally returned to Verizon with a Nexus in hand and i honestly couldnt be happier.

I listened to the die hard sg2 owners and got one. Then returned and exchanged it for the GN. WOW so frigging happy I am so much happier with this phone but the sg2 is a really awesome phone too but I like this phone so much more!!!

Got I love my GN! Only have the GSM model yet still get around 7Mbps download rates, with unlimited bandwidth. Really can't see how I'd need the LTE version with that performance already (from UK, LTE is unavailable here for a couple of years it seems). Nothing beats being able to torrent **** with good down rates while on the move.
Software keeps getting better, 4.0.2 has seen dramatic increase in battery life, with new updates coming thick and fast. My girlfriend has an iPhone 4 and constantly nags to use my phone to browse and shop. I can see why, after using this phone for a few weeks now, the iPhone seems totally ****ing tiny and ****!
I'm sure mobile games manufacturers will soon be moving off the iPhone bandwagon with its uncompetitive hardware and the consistently increasing market share of high end android phones. Which will be the last of the iPhones advantages gone. Not to mention Google working on a Siri stomper, which I have plenty of faith in them doing, and doing well.

Worth dumping LTE for this?

I've been wanting the Galaxy Nexus since the announcement but never got around to getting it. I ended up getting a GS2 Skyrocket and have fallen in love with LTE.
Do you think it's worth dumping my skyrocket for the GN? What's the current state of ROM development?

I dumped the skyrocket but I don't live in lte market. And I don't load roms. Stock gnex ics > skyrocket touchwiz

For you, maybe. You can't make that blanket statement for everyone... And I'm sure OP is happy with AT&T (and/or locked in with a large ETF if he's got a Skyrocket).

OP asked what I think. I gave him my opinion.

If budget permits, I would say yes, go for the GN. But if I were you at a time like this, I would wait for MWC (Mobile World Congress) where Samsung is allegedly announcing the Galaxy S3 and see what they have to offer in that aspect.

I'm pretty much stuck to AT&T because I get a huge discount off my monthly bill through work

Ummmm... Mobile Hot Spot! Verizon has yet to throttle me on 4G... I use atleast 12-15 GB's / month. That is where it pays off to have Verizon LTE and unlimited data...

Lol again, Verizon is not an option for me. I pay close to $100 a month right now for 4 lines + unlimited data on 3 lines. With Verizon, I'd be paying over $200

Honestly HSPA+ speed are good enough for me in a mobile device. I browse, stream a lot and speeds are good enough. Average around 5Mbps is good for me. Sure I will take lte if there is an option, but it's not a big deal. Finally it comes down personal choice, if you are teethering may be lte speeds are good but for normal usage no big deal.

Fair enough, but the only ones I've seen complaining about their Galaxy Nexus are the ones getting the US carrier-Nexuses. On overall GSM owners seems happier.
Which may or may not be relevant to OP, so it's worth getting out there.
---------- Post added at 10:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------
To OP: I don't have LTE, so I have no idea what I would be dumping, but this is my general take on the Galaxy Nexus (from another thread)
Seriously though: I think this phone is the best phone I've ever had. For those returning it, it probably wasn't.
This phone was hyped like nothing I have ever seen, and lots of people probably bought it on the wrong premises. Some people probably bought this phone thinking this would be the Android Jesus-device who would save the souls of Apple-users en-masse by its presence alone. A device which could slay iStore employees by simply taking it out of your pocket. A gadget so shiny, the sun would feel its competition. Etc.
To those people, this device probably didn't deliver. They probably returned it.
To me though this phone is a godsend. Not only is the HW pretty good, it is also 100% open. It's a device whose openness is unprecedented in other types of phones.
I can compile Android from source and flash on this device. Using open tools which I've also built from source. It's not just something I say that you "can" do. I've built the source and deployed on my phone. No hacking or closed drivers or protocols required. Why? Just because I can. It gives you a feeling of actual ownership which is hard to describe or match.
If I want to run nothing but stock but rooted, I can do that without any need to meddle deeply with the phone. In fact, if all I want is a custom recovery to do nandroid backups, I can do that without flashing or modifying the phone in any way.
How? It's easy. I can boot my phone off a boot-image (and hence recovery-image too) hosted outside the phone. I can boot my phone from code hosted outside it. No hacking required. Absolutely none.
This is what a Nexus device is all about. It's all fully open. It does what you ask it. Even if it is retarded. Even if it is singing the Hello Kitty theme song while in the bootloader. Because the device is open. It's yours. It's yours to do exactly what you want with it.
The openness of this thing is amazing. For me, there is absolutely no other phone I would consider. Others might land at some other choice and that is perfectly fine too.
People returning this phone are probably doing it because they followed internet-hype and didn't research what they were actually buying.

If you think that sounds awesome, LTE is probably worth dumping. If you think "that sounds... like something I dont care about at all", then probably not.

Had the Verizon GN. Was surprised to find that I actually had 4g where I lived. Got ~35mbps down and ~7mbps up. With mild use, was finding it difficult to get the battery to last through the day.
Returned it, bought the unlocked GSM version, popped an at&t similar in, and now my battery lasts all day with almost twice as much use and 30% left at night. Pages load at roughly the same speed. Call quality is better (maybe just where I live, but the Verizon version was always a little "glitchy").
Just my experience with LTE and the nexus.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium App

I have both phones and love both, skyrocket gives me 2 days in one charge easily, gnex only about 10-14 hours with extended battery but love stock ics.
If you already have the skyrocket then stick with it, its a great phone, if you dont have neither, get the Gnex gsm.

For now, LTE is the future. I carry a spare battery if and when needed. Battery technology will always be playing catch up.

S3 Service

Thinking of getting rid of my S2 and getting S3 wanted to find out how is the 3G service on S3 in the NY/NJ area . S2 I get Wimax which is ok . I had gps issues with my S2 but got solved after Sprint replaced it .
Any issues with S3 I need to be aware off.

Data connectivity/signal is a very one sided thing. It's 99% tower.
Meaning... no matter what phone you have, you'll likely get the same speeds using the same protocols. With that in mind, you'll not get WiMax of course, so you won't get that speed.
But at least on the S3, you'll be on the LTE technology, which is being actively deployed all over the country, and off of the WiMax, which is no longer being implemented or improved upon, and will be decommissioned in the next couple of years.
But honestly at this point, I would just wait till May to see what they come out with.
The S3 is great and all, but you're at a turning point where if you wait just a little longer, it will be better I think.
Since you're already on the S2 and WiMax is available in your area and LTE isn't, there's no reason to move to another device really...

I came from an Evo lte. I kinda regret switching to an s3 but don't. Only reason I switched was because of the speaker and call quality is horrible. The rest on the Evo I loved but the call quality made me switch.

So s3 has much better call quality then evo lte

"Thinking about selling" and "sold" are two different things, tell us what REALLY happened or is happening and you'll get a better response.
Now, as to recommendation... This is ALL personal preference... With that... From a flat out "looks" standpoint... I personally dislike the weird color design they've done with the HTC EVO 4G LTE, Samsung's much more sleek and I personally like my device to not stand out like a sore thumb. Samsung's nailed that I think.
Now, from a usability standpoint, I've not had very much time to play around with the 4G LTE, but when I did, it felt very similar to my old 3D, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I personally dislike Sense. There are a few things I like about it, but in the grand scheme I always ended up using a different launcher.
The next point is freedom... HTC locks down their device pretty heavily. So, if you're going to root/unlock it, HTC's got some safeguards in place to prevent that and also a way to track that you have unlocked it. (They are all bypassable, but just more difficult to unlock...) Samsung doesn't lock theirs down as heavily. So that's a huge plus for me as well as many others, because from day one, it's unlocked, rooted, freed from restrictions.
So, if you don't root at all... and you are also content with HTC Sense, then you can go with the 4G LTE, but I've also heard many people that have returned their 4G LTE for an S3, for other issues, such as LTE not working unless you reboot the data services...
Samsung's also a little quicker on the updates for their devices and also don't End Of Life one of their flagship devices inside of a year. (EVO 3D is a great example of that...)
Personally I would recommend the S3, but it's of course all personal preference.
