Worth the wait?

So my phones been broken since August, and I have no backups. In other words, I haven't had a phone since mid-August. Anyway, I just got some money for my birthday and job. Should I wait until the Galaxy Nexus comes out for tmo in late November? If not, suggest getting any other phone?
EDIT:hmm alright. I need a phone.. Im trying not to spend the most amount of money because im going to buy the Nexus during christmas time, but can anyone steer me in the right direction in buying a used phone off craigslist? Preferably a decent one? Price Range $100-$275. I have T-mobile but any phone thats compatible whether its unlocked or not I'll be willing to get. I'm in jersey BTW, in case any of you want to give it a look.

if you read this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316800
you'll know you're in for a very long wait
but it might be worth it, depending how fan are you of stock AOS

If you have enough money to buy one unlocked for the full price, then you should hopefully have it by this month end.
If you are looking for tmo subsidized, then there is a possibility that you might have wait longer.

yea, I read through a bunch of pages in that thread. If I have to wait a week or two, I'll be fine with that... And I'm just going to root it assuming it will be possible as other Nexus phones were easily rooted..
Just not so sure if its hitting tmobile.. I dont come on here as much as I used to, but if you find ANY news having to do with tmo and the galaxy nexus or the release date, mind Pming me? thanks

yea, I think ill just be buying it full price unfortunately.

Only you can decide for yourself which phone is best and what is "worth" the wait for you.
Just do the research and decide what's good for you.

I will personally wait till prices drop at Christmas. My captivate is going super strong after installing miui. I got money, lots of it... So gonna buy unlocked! No seriously, it's because I am going out of the country mid next year for a while... Some legal issues...

Aria is old and doesn't have AWS for 3G on T-mo. G2 is good. You could always get a MyTouch 4G (not slide) or an original Galaxy S very cheaply.
Whats it matter if you're only going to use it for 1-2 months then get rid of it anyways? Get something that works and is cheap.

I'm not sure about your area, but I could find Nexus S for around $200

Hmmmm..Is the nexus S worth it?

I can relate to you. I lost my phone (Nexus One) 2 months ago. Since then I have been using my 5 year old Samsung. It works great as a phone for calls and text msgs. That's it!!! I feel so disconnected from the world without my neXus 1. Considering GS was going to come out soon, I did not want to waste any money on an temp android phone.
If I were in your place without a phone I would get the cheapest one possible.

I've seen G2X's on ebay around 200 give or take, of course not in perfect condition. If you like tegra you should consider that phone over older ones.

not really if you plan on not using it at all after the GN comes out. If you want to hold onto it for fun it could be worth the $$ if you have it.

Does anyone know or think there will be a Black Friday sale? I read on The Verge that they will be pushing sales during this time period.

This is already being discussed in the other threads. That page shows the MARKETING push for after Black Friday, which is including the Galaxy Nexus.
That does not at all indicate when the phone will be sold. As you notice, the map shows the iPhone being marketed too, that doesn't mean the iPhone isn't on sale till then

Offered a 4 day old Nexus for £300

As the thread states my friend just got a Nexus on contract and is using it to pay off his O2 contract as he already has a sim free iPhone 4S.
I can sell my GS2 for around £200-230 so just need to pay the difference to get it up to £300
Played around with it a tiny bit and it looks ok but not really sold on it however I do love the pure google experience (previous nexus one owner)
Good deal or not?

Yeah! Honestly, I got this phone yesterday and you will NOT be disappointed. The screen, the smoothness of ICS, it's just a freaking monster man. And You're only going to be paying around £70-£100 for the phone so you can't go wrong!
Edit: Just read you already own a GS2. I would not be so sure then, it depends on how desperate you are to get ICS, because once that hits the GS2 the only thing that will be to the Nexus' advantage is the screen and dev support, which is more than enough for me to go for the Nexus lol.

Decisions decisions....

Get it! and sell it me small profit for yourself

It's really a beast! Some of my favorite things are the screen,led,and the software buttons they are geinus!

Honestly, if I were you, I would wait until next year Q2 2012 when it is rumoured that quad core phones that are coming out. I'm pretty sure there are already ICS roms for the Galaxy S2 and you're getting it next year anyway from Samsung. However, I haven't had any experience with the Nexus so I can only tell you from what I think, I haven't actually compared the fluidity and smoothness of both phones.

keep your gs2 and wait.for.ice.

Good deal, go for it while you can still get that for your GS2.
I sold my GS2 for the Nexus and haven't looked back. It's just a better overall device and probably one of the coolest gadgets I've owned.

Don't listen to this idiot. He's the biggest troll on the Galaxy Nexus forums and only posts useless comments/complaints. You should definetely go for the Nexus - pure Google experience, HD screen, etc

Gotta agree. There are a few users here that I see post the same useless drivel. Makes ya wonder.
Anyway, like I said before, go for it. You won't be disappointed.
Side note: The touch screen buttons have just made other Android devices look antiquated.

I am pretty sure I will if my friend doesn't decide to keep it.

£300 is not a great deal considering a brand new one sells for around £428.79. If you do not like it, you should be able to sell it for more than £300.

nice signature. lol.

It kind of depends. Since you already have a GS2 it's not really an upgrade but a lateral move from one phone to the next. The GN2 will definitely outlive the GS2 as far as official updates and dev support is concerned, but the GS2 already has plenty dev support right now and will likely have it for as long as you own/use the phone. The screen on the GN is way better, the processor is just as good, the GPU and camera on the GS2 are the only real advantages so it pretty much evens out in my book. It really is going to come down to personal preference. The reason I jumped to the nexus line was because I was a Vibrant owner and never saw a froyo update on my phone while Samsung promised and promised. The dev community and custom gone were the only things keeping me happy with my phone. About a week after the Nexus S was released I walked into a Best Buy and put my phone running a custom froyo rom with an overclocked processor up against a bone stock display model and the display model Nexus won every battle. I bought the phone a few days later and haven't looked back since. Now there are a few caveats to the story, one being that I had a variant of the GS and that Samsung had indeed finished the froyo update about two months before the release of the Nexus S (just not for the American variants) but at the end of the day, the Nexus S is going to receive an official update of ICS and the GS isn't despite them having nearly all the same hardware components. The devs are still there and they will give the phone a proper update but it would be easier with an official kernel to play with. Just my thoughts. Personally I'd go with the GN unless you plan on playing multiple high end games that require you to have a better GPU.

The stock google experience is swaying it for me right now and it looks like I will have to pay a minimum of £80 to £100 + selling my GS2.
Will see my mate on Thursday and take it from there and will let everyone know if I suddenly become a GN owner
My wife said no I cannot trade so I said it's an christmas present to myself so may have to sweeten her up a bit haha

Actually its a very very good deal. Its 429 + vat which is more like £520. Also considering its from his friend and not some random stranger he can be pretty sure there's not some weird fault with it or something dodgy. Its pretty close to having a brand new phone with £220 off
Personally for around £100 I would probably upgrade. I agree with other posts its more of a lateral move, but the SGS2 is soooo common now, especially in the UK, and its coming up to a year old soon. The Galaxy Nexus will stay 'new' for a while. Also remember the GN resolution is the native resolution for ICS and what it was designed for. Although other phones with lower resolutions will also get ICS i'm sure there'll be some compromises somewhere.
Anyway its all opinion, but for me i'm slightly for the GN. BTW I upgraded from a N1 to a Galaxy Nexus, and my only experience of a SGS2 is 5 minutes with my friends one at the pub.

Interesting as o2 would let me pay off my remaining 2 months of my contract so i could get the galaxy nexus earlier.
They told me they do not allow this anymore and for that they have lost a customer, they never even tried to do me a deal.
I pay £41 a month for unlimited everything on my new contract which would mean i will pay £984 over the 24 month contract.
Hes going to be well out of pocket once he pays off his contract is o2 let him.

Text my mate to say I am going for the GN so now it's just down to when I go and get some cash for my phone and when I get to see him next.
Good timing as well as he was considering selling it tomorrow!

I bought a galaxy nexus and returned to my s2...
Only the screen is better on this phone and the new os, everything else isnt worth spendig money on it...

It's costing my friend around £200 to pay off O2 and he managed to get the GN for FREE on 12 months at vodafone so he will actually make around £100 from this and will also be on a 12 month agreement not 18-24 months.
On o2 he pays £37-38 a month and Vodafone will be £41 a month so makes sense really for him to sell it and for me to buy it lol

Rant Here about Verizon not giving a date and pushing this back every week

now im not on verizon and the only reason im coming over is for this phone. (BE WARNED - RANT COMING)
I've been on sprint for about 10 years now, the past 3 years i have been on an employee plan paying 30$/month for unlimited everything. The sad thing is, i feel bad for the people paying full price on sprint because im located in Rochester NY and sprint service should be great here but i rarely get service indoor's recently. 4G is a joke and Rochester was one of the first places to get it turned on. So im happy to move to a better network and brought myself to pay the extra $ for the service.... so enough about how sprints network is going down hill and on to how Verizon F***ED this launch up royally.
Maybe i hate Verizon for not mentioning a word about this phone. Maybe its because the Galaxy Nexus has been out for almost a month overseas. Maybe its because i feel like not only have i been waiting for this phone but i've also been waiting for Google to release an exciting new OS. Maybe it's the fact that i KNOW this phone can compete in the market as one of the best phones and not to mention its the flagship phone from Google that can kick start features like NFC and such. but then i think to myself... What did i just see when i turned on the TV or when i went to that website. ADs for the RAZR... THE RAZR.... ARE U KIDDING ME?
okay okay, i understand, back in 2003 it was the coolest phone on the block. TIMES HAVE CHANGED, Verizon knewwwwww they were getting the Nexus, and they hate they can't call it Droid. the name droid (personal opinion) is UGLY. Im not saying Galaxy Nexus is any better but i dont want to feel like i have a robot in my pocket. The Razr just came at the wrong time and VZ spent to much money with s$itty advertising like they always do.
I was really really hoping to see some type of great marketing strategy by verizon starting this week. Something along the lines of this:
Mon Night Football. 5 to 10 second commercial, completely white background and just out the nexus right in the middle of the high def screen. no music. mahyeb a piano key or smething, with just a shot of this beauty... then at the very end, flash Verizon so people know, that phone is coming to VZ, wow!!?? (and yes i would love to see a "with Google" slapped in there somewhere but we all know Verizon would have a heart attack promoting anyone but themselves)
and keep showing the commercial every day with a count down until the release date (which i was hoping the 9th) so it would have been even sweeter to see that commercial knowing i can freakin get that this week!?!
people know the verizon brand, they like the verizon brand becuase its associated with a good network. FOCUS ON YOUR PRODUCT, THE BEST ONE U HAVE. make people say, woahhhhhh what was that???? and im not talking about the people like us who wait and wait and wait knowing we will hold out for this, im talking about your average consumer, the one who see's a product and says, damn thats good looking, i WANT that. i WANT THAT NEOWWWZ!
(hell i even made a s$hitty youtube video to get my point across)
but no. No commercials, no internet Ad's, only one spot on thier website to put your email in a box (which NO ONE likes giving out) for more information....
Verizon, you messed up. You had a chance to make a boat load even more of cash and you missed out. im not even your customer yet and i dread the fact ill be stuck with you for two years.
and now we have this, no Google wallet. im highly confident once developers get their hands on this phone they will find a way to make it work, but instead Verizon points the finger and says its not them. WHY IN THE HELL WOULD GOOGLE NOT WANT TO HELP ITS OWN NEW SERVICE?!? It just doesnt make sense.........
alright, i just blacked out with anger/frustration while typing this so i hope it makes sense and i hope other people see what im seeing...
oh, and one last note.. This ones for you Google. i hope you paid attention to this whole launch. i hope you learned your leson about dancing with the RED DEVIL. They will take your masterpiece and piss all over it.

In my opinion the main problem with this launch is that Google and Samsung allowed Verizon to take control of it. I hate to compare to Apple, but they take full control of their product launches and do not allow the carriers to tamper in any way. Samsung and Google should have grown some balls and had the phone launched their way. If Verizon did not want to play ball then they just release the unlocked version here as they did in the past.

Cool story bro. Lol @ video. Lame but funny.

Hmm, that's weird. My company spends just shy of $100k a year on Verizon devices (somewhere around ~800 lines currently)...and my rep is just as unable to get one to sell as anyone else.
And he is the rep for 5 other companies around our size.
I think there's a much better chance you're a Verizon employee or were able to play with one in the immediate vicinity.

Your bigger rant should be how a company the size of VZW can hose their entire LTE network with each introduction of a new device.

Yeah, and you can bet that the resolution will be quiet and nothing else ever said of this outage.
"Isolated" will be the spin. I was going to head over to Verizon and eBay the GSM GNEX I have, but I just can't fork over $85 for a tiered plan when I have unlimited on ATT for $40 after taxes (2nd line on plan).
Oh well.

Not saying I necessarily don't believe you, just saying the "don't sell yet" thing is pretty hard...they probably aren't even allowing the devices to activate on the network yet.
Beyond that, not a single person knows the date it's releasing now. The update said "indefinite", meaning nobody knows for sure. It's just suspected for next week, at the moment.

I won't promise anything but I will call rep tomorrow for some info

I disagree.
Seriously. Think about it from Verizon's perspective. Why would they put money and advertising behind the Nexus phone when they have the Rezound and Razr that just came out and are of similar specs? They control the user experience on those devices and can put their subscription apps preloaded on them. Not true with the Galaxy Nexus. Of course they're going to market the hell out of the devices that make them more money.
That said, I agree that Samsung/Google should have taken more charge with this launch. Nexus devices are about no compromise, pure Android experiences, and no carrier/OEM tampering. What I've seen of the Verizon version has contradicted this in a few ways before the phone is even out. Makes me very happy I got the GSM version. But at least the LTE one is unlocked and there will be plenty of ROMs and support for it.

AT&T i777 Tradein Value

I just left my local store with my new GS3! I wanted to pass on to everyone that the tradein value that I received on my GS2 (i-777) was exactly $121, which brought the grand total of the GS3 to $89.
While I understand that I could have sold my GS2 online for more, I really didn't want to go through the hassle.
Hope this helps someone make the jump

You just threw away about $150 by not taking 5 minutes of your time to sell it on ebay. Is your time that valuable (you make $1,800/hour)?
The AVERAGE buy-it-now selling price on ebay for a used AT&T S2 is currently $263, and you could've got a bit more by throwing in your old accessories.

I got 200 for my iPhone 4 16gb at games top, that was cash as I had a promo for extra credit. I lost out on maybe 25 bucks for shipping/ eBay fees if I went that route. I avoid Craigslist as I had a lot of bad experiences selling through it.

Wow, I wasn't expecting to get flamed for trying to be helpful.
Also, I don't work for AT&T, don't even really like AT&T.

No, my time isn't too valuable, I was just lazy and wanted the GS3. I have had horrible experiences with both eBay and CL, and prefer not to use them. MOD, could you close or even just delete this thread...I have learned to not try and be helpful.

Why is everyone flaming the OP. I wouldn't even try to sell an i777 for more than 150. He only lost out on like 30 bucks.

No, my time isn't too valuable, I was just lazy and wanted the GS3. I have had horrible experiences with both eBay and CL, and prefer not to use them. MOD, could you close or even just delete this thread...I have learned to not try and be helpful.

WoW .. I sold my Skyrocket on eBay the day the GS3 was released .. $385 I got for it and to put a sour note on this .. I didn't pay a cent for my GS3 .. 18 year veteran with AT&T .. has its perks at times.

LordGeek, I had a tough decision but went with the blue...how are you digging the red?

Wow...what a bunch of tools in this thread. Thanks OP for the info...it is nice to know what at&t gives as trade in value. That way I can decide to be a cool kid and sell it on eBay or not...here's to information and not opinions!

Thats great news for folks who bought from googleplay, shame i bought mine in dixons :crying:

True. It doesn't count for those who purchased them in a store. I guess that would be the store's policy at that point. If Google offered it to ALL 16gb users who purchased after the deadline, then they could effectively double up on the rebate: Pricematch in the store AND credit from Google.

WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT 8GB VERSIONS? Holy hell, it's like we don't exist. I would like something at least from the fact they don't even sell my device anymore.

+1. Guess we get the shaft. Screen lift and smallest size.
Not sure if pissed or happy because rare due to size not being made anymore. Lol

now i wished i bought my device from GooglePlay. Damn. Got mine from GameStop with tax for 16Gb was USD272.

It's complete BS! I bought my 8Gb from the Play store, but as soon as I heard of the 32Gb I called for an exchange. They denied that model existed or would ever exist and said the can't exchange something they don't sell. Then they couldn't even return mine since I was a couple days out of their return window. I couldn't see paying the extra $50 for another 8Gb, but 4x as much makes a bit more sense. Either way I'm stuck now.

Too bad I bought mine back in August :/

+1 I was one of the first adopters of the tab, I bought the 8Gb version. I think Google should exchange mine for a 16Gb version. But, I highly doubt they will do this...

Asus is doing something similar directly on their website for UK customers at least...
If you bought your N7 before Oct 30th, they are offering £25 voucher to spend at the Asus store. You just need to register your N7, and they will send an email asking for proof of purchase. Then you'll get the voucher/coupon code later. You can register N7's bought from any authorised retailer. I got mine from PC World :cyclops:

I pre-ordered my 8GB from Google Play and had it RMA'ed once. I think its unreasonable to expect a company to refund on a fully working product that they barely made any money of in the first place, just because they released an updated version months after release.

I can't help but laugh at the people getting pissy. Am I upset that I paid $200 for an 8GB version and then just around the corner they released the 16GB for that much? Yeah. Am I gonna pout and stomp and whine about it? No. Because that's the price of being an early adopter. Now i'm not the type that can just drop money on a new device. You have no idea how many dice I flipped and coins I rolled trying to decide if I should adopt or not. In the end, I ended up getting it even though financially I shouldn't have. But I did, and I early adopted. You should always expect the worse when you adopt early, and then not complain when you get shafted because...well...that's what happens. It's a tough and unfair game. That's life. Suck it up and deal with it like an adult. I can still turn around and sell my N7 for $200 on Craigslist to some guy who has no idea about all of this and not think twice about it. But, I honestly don't use that much memory and I rarely travel so I have no need to store my music and movies on it. I tether it to my phone and there's all my music from amazon and pandora. I watched a movie on it ONCE while I was waiting for my car to be fixed. But that's it. Sad this happened, but I understand that's how the game works. It's not fair and if I had a Google employee in front of me i'd let him know, but I don't so what's the point in crying about it?

I disagree. It's perfectly fair for a company to upgrade its products months after they were released. They have absolutely no obligation to refund anything especially as they already are barely making profit and bundled them with Google play credit.

I'm just saying if they are offering people who bought a 16GB version something, why is it that us 8GBer's get left behind like we are nothing? We bought a product that isn't even being sold anymore, I just feel like they could give us something. "A sorry you bought the wrong one" letter at least.

doesn't matter to me much.. Plus the one my friend bought me over the summer, was long before they even posted that. So I wouldn't even qualify.

That is a great gesture from google. As said above they did not have to offer anyone nothing. I got lucky with Walmart.. I spent some time in the Walmart store a few summers ago working on there automated doors and door locks.. Got to know many people there.. So I took my 16 gb nexus 7 back 24 days after purchase and the manager get me a refund. I then went to Office depot and bought a 32 version...
Im not exchanging this one. I do not need the 3/4 g version. Im going to get a nexus 4 when they come out. My phone is now 3 years old. So this is good timing. I can tether.
I Wish google would offer everyone some kind of deal . But life is not always fair in our own eyes.

Well I got 50 bux back from Amex. I posted my charge, told them the situation and they understood and processed the credit within the next few days. Score!
I am not saying that I am deserving or it was my right to get any funds back, but I figured I'd pose my case and ask. I felt there was not hurting by asking, the worst scenario would be that they would have said no. But they didn't.
Got mine on 7/12/12.

Honestly, I can't see why. If you buy a car, and a new engine comes out replacing yours 2 years later, you wouldn't ask for any compensation or feel stabbed. And we all now that technology is a fast market, where things are constantly changing. I don't feel bad at all for having spent 250€ on my 16GB. And, while I think it's nice that Google offers a refund, I don't think that's neccesary for those who bought the tablet (like me) one month before the 32GB came out. We all knew the possibility of a better model being out later, and we decided to spend our money anyway. We have exactly what we paid for. So what could we possibly complain about?
