Gs3 to GSM nexus

Possible trade from my gs3 to GSM nexus. Good idea? Bad idea? T-Mobile variant via pentaband.

GS3 is worth more right now...so bad deal unless they are planning on adding some money on top. Otherwise....just sell the GS3 and buy the GSM GN with that money and a Nexus 7 tablet. lol

Cannot agree with you more. Or wait until next Nexus phone comes out. Then it'll probably be a good choice to trade.

Advice needed: get a GNEX or wait

Hello, i am an xdanoob. I have been an iphone user for the last 2 years and i feel the time to upgrade and switch to android has finally come, i have always liked to tweak my stuff to get the most out of it ( i build my own PCs etc ) and i am tired of IOS lack of customization. I have read a whole lot on this forum and have narrowed my search to 2 phones, the GNEX and galaxy s3, other stuff like HTC etc is impossible to find in my country ( Argentina ) and even the gnex isn't sold officialy, so you have to get it via import. I also want to buy my cell phone unlocked since i don't want bloatware and carriers here take ages to update OS if they ever update it at all and they don't even sell the gnex...between the 2 phones i like the gnex most ( updates directly from google, no overlap UI, huge dev comunity etc ) and i have tried the s3 in stores and i just don't like how it feels. My only concern with the gnex is that it feels that im buying an outdated phone now that the quadcore era is approaching. Since i am spending big bucks on either phone ( no google play store here nor used at a reasonable price etc ) it will have to last at least 2 years. Should i buy the gnex now or wait till the new nexus and find a way to get my hands on one ( some1 travelling to the US, robbing a bank etc ) for reference unlocked phones here cost roughly 200% of US retail price, for ex: best price i found for a new sealed GNEX right now was 750 dollars.
I know all the info is already out there but i really need advice on this specific situation. Sry for my english and thanks in advance.
EDIT: i finally got it! it arrived today, love it.

another one of these threads and I may vomit

^ ^
Go ahead. I have read all the related threads and the general consensus seems to be: if you can get one really cheap buy one, otherwise wait for the next-gen nexus. <---- since this is not an option available to me i have started a new thread for my ( and i guess everyone living in this region ) specific issue.
But thanks for posting anyway.

Really? This is how we welcome new members? Not exactly a good way to keep a forum going.
To the OP: I think the current Nexus has great development and will continue to even after the next Nexus comes along (whenever that may be). I prefer a non-bloated, "clean slate" device as well, and the Nexus seems to deliver on that experience better than the S3 IMO.

Wait to see what the next Nexus will bring.
This will also lower the prices of the present Nexus by then.
Definitely do not buy one brand new right now. Just wait to see what the specs of the new one will be.
Use your IOS, you won't die if you keep using it for the next 1 ~ 2 months. =)

I agree with everything in the quote post. Welcome to xda. I had a nexus on vzw and switched to sprint. Got an evo 4g lte and selling it to go back to the gnex. I would agree that there will be deving for a long time on it just look at the older nexus phones and they all still have quite a bit of deving for them. No bloat and constant updates available by google means a smooth running phone and the best experience even stock.

Or pick the gnex now on the cheap and when you get tired of it get the new nexus and maybe its price will be as low as this one

And this is what I am doing. The GNexus a bargain now. So what if a new Nexus is coming, pick that up in a few months on the cheap as well. Just do not tie yourself into a contract.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

You can get great deals on the gnex now. Wait if you want the latest and greatest, but you'll pay over twice as much. The gnex is a great phone, and there are already great roms and mods. A new nexus will take some time before developers have roms and mods. Just some things to consider.

I say: buy. It's such a nice device with A LOT of customization. In my honest opinion it is truly the most beautiful smartphone atm.
When you have an LG device or Samsung or any other than Galaxy Nexus series you will kinda get dissapointed when new devices come out, becuase of better specs, you know. Also it will take longer for software updates.
This is nice about the Nexus. When new devices come out you don't have to worry about your software walking behind, becuase you know you're always the first guy getting new software. And in that case hardware won't matter, at least not to me.
Hope this helped

I just got mine a couple weeks ago from Newegg , got the DOCOMO version unlocked. I first had it on Simple Mobile and would have said wait cause the phone sucks but after switching to AT&T go the phone works perfect and awesome signal and speeds. I'm happy as hell with this phone and development. I have never liked I phone or there software just me though lol feel there made for old people and people who do not know or care about customizing there phone. I also agree with most here about a asop experience. I have had a lot of android phones , HTC, Samsung and etc. And this is my first carrier unlocked and pure Google phone and I have to say I don't think I could ever own a non Google android phone again lol. For the $349 price on Google to me you can't beat this phone right now.

Of you root and install CM10 on the S3, is it like the best of both worlds?

Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Sure the S3 is nice as hell but was a no brainer for me $600 + unlocked s3 or $350 unlocked nexus lol. As nice as the s3 looks and probably is. It isn't $300 + better lol. Believe me I looked and almost bought the s3 and I'm happy with my purchase.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

get a gnex! I paid 440USD for a BRAND NEW one. bought it from amazon! its cheap for such a great phone! (its the best on the market, the s3 is just ****!)

But CM10 is not aosp. And things will not work as sweet as the GNexus. The S3 is great but not that great.

In order to get everything to work correctly on cm10, the devs need to "blindly" port over cm10 as the S3's stock os is not open source. Some files also are from the stock ROM and not cm/aosp so they will not work as well as the aosp ones from the gnex. There will always be bugs with the s3 cm, always.

I just purchased a Nexus from the Play Store yesterday and on the first of October I am getting a Red GS3 from AT&T just because that Red color looks so good and a 148.00 price tag from Sam's Club is not all that bad,as for the contract that is meaningless because I have been with AT&T long before the Cingular days long ago and do not plan on going to any other provider because contrary to popular belief AT&T has been a good fit for me and my wife!!! Had a HTC Vivid and all I can say is man what a crap phone!

WOW thanks for all the replies guys. i have decided to buy the gnex, i cant go wrong with a a nexus device after all hehe.
I am looking forward to learn a lot from xda

Is Galaxy nexus worth buy over the LG nexus 4 once its released ??

Hii guys,
So ive been saving up some money to buy my new phone. I initially chose the GNex since it is cheaper and other stuff. I'm from india and i thought of buying it from ebay india.
Anyway now that LG nexus 4 release date is close(will it be released in india this november ??) i'm wondering if its still a good move to buy the GNex. I heard that the LG nexus 4 have 2 gb ram etc etc better specs than GNexus ?? Is that true ??
So, i thought of ordering Galaxy nexus this week. Is that a good choice ??
If someone could help me making my choice i would thank it very much
Thanks in advance

Use common sense....plus they pulled gnex from playstore
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Needing LTE or being on Verizon or any other CDMA network are the only two reasons to stay with the GNexus.

lolz.. with that spec and with that price and with you made it obvious... you still dont know the answer?? the spec are way too high than gnex. its a different case if already have a gnex, but since you didnt... oh well "go go for Nexus 4" lolz...
i'm a Nexus collector so i'm getting it while I can.

the price will most likely be similar to the gnex with minor difference..but the specs are better, so its better to wait and buy the n4 rather than get the gnex imo

We don't know if the nexus 4 will launch in India or not. Or when it would launch, if it does. Most people say it would likely be priced at 25k but no one knows for sure.
If you are willing to wait for more than a month for a possible release (which may or may not even happen) or are ready to spend over 25k to order it online and have it shipped, then the nexus 4 is a good choice.
The galaxy nexus is available right now for pretty cheap but it isn't as good as the N4.

It would have been so awesome if they still offered the GNex for like $99 off contract, that would have downright incredible, but obviously would have cut sales from the N4.

Definately not man!!!! that price is amaaaaziiingngnngngnggn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Nexus 4 has a better CPU, GPU, more RAM, slightly bigger and higher resolution LCD screen, wireless charging, and larger battery.
Yet unless something happens to my Galaxy Nexus I'm not upgrading because I've decided there are two things I love about the Galaxy Nexus that isn't available for the Nexus 4:
1) AMOLED screen. I don't care that it's pentile. Maybe my eyesight sucks because I can't tell the difference between pentile and non pentile 720P screens. I can tell the AMOLED screens produce colors I like.
2) Swappable battery. This is crucial for me.
With that said... I wouldn't spend more than $200-$230 on a used Galaxy Nexus... because let's face it... the Nexus 4 is still a beast of a device for the money.

even im eager to buy one here in India.. but i think u shud see this http://pricebaba.com/blog/coming-up-nokia-lumia-510-lg-l9-htc-8x-one-x
Expected price is around 30k in India.. not confirmed though.. Saw in some italian blog too that even there its going to be priced around 550 Euros according to some credible sources.. so if it costs more than double the amt compared with US, I think getting a Gnex makes sense or ask some one to get it from the US.
we are always deprived of all good things in the world or shud pay a lot to get them.. sucks

If you have a younger brother or sister, give it to them. I'm sure they would appreciate it.
Not a fan of selling. Still have my first mobile phone Ericsson T-28s purchased in 1999.
Cell phones showed up back then in my country.

I'm actually looking for a used Nexus. Dropped mine, and i think the modem is busted. Can make calls but no data.
Been looking around Ebay, and 170-180 is what it seems like they'd be going for.
Do you still have yours? I wouldnt mind paying $190 total for a decent working replacement.

Best place for a new/used GSM Galaxy Nexus?

I made a poor poor mistake in buying an unlocked Galaxy S3 when my Galaxy Nexus crapped out on me. I've had it for a week & now its back in the box, as it just doesn't feel "right". I'd happily give up my new GS III for another Galaxy Nexus so I was wondering if anyone knows of any reputable places to get a new/used Nexus at a reasonable price? Unfortunately Craigslist isn't very active in my area, so that's a no-go. Any insight or help would be appreciated!
P.S. I boxed my new GS III so my inbox is open for any type of serious offers

eBay, Craigslist etc.

Op, you might try the classifieds or whatever they call it here on XDA.... Unless I'm thinking of Rootzwiki.

In a one week span I sold VZW Galaxy Nexus, HP Touchpad and Droid Incredible on Swappa and purchased a GSM Galaxy Nexus with no issues at all. Everything is smooth and they are top notch. Don't waste your time at all on eBay or get gangbanged while meeting someone from craigslist.
The prices include the $10 buyers fee so honestly, what you see is what you pay. Couldn't be happier with them.

I appreciate everyones suggestions so far -- To the people PM'ing me: I appreciate your interest in my S3, but I don't appreciate having time wasted - When you tell me your "interested", ask numerous questions & then just disappear, its a massive waste of your & my time. For those that's curious, it's a T-Mobike branded Marble White 16GB S3, however its been fully unlocked to run on & support AT&Ts HSPA+ network also. There's not a much as the smallest imperfection on the phone. Like I said, I'm open to any sensible trade involving a G-Nex, but prior to even Coming, you should already have some definitive idea of what you want to do.
