I have Nexus S and software speaking GNex and NS are almost the same, ignoring the few advantages GNex has because of the hardware.
My sister got Galaxy S3 few days ago and now I want a new phone as well lol. Since I'm gonna dump a $***load of money, and I much more prefer Nexus dev phone rather than TouchWiz or anything manufacturer related, should I wait for the next quad core (and better camera, since that 2 things are bugging me about GNex) or buy this one.
I know how having a Nexus rocks, all the roms, tweaks, ports available for my Nexus S are just awesome, so I can imagine what to expect for this one or the future one!
I'm asking this because you guys have it and know it.
I almost ended up buying Note but stores jacked the price here, so no... currently GNex HSPA+ is around 300€ - 350€ here, unlocked. Thanks!

Well if you can wait til Q4 I'd say wait for the next nexus, especially if you're signing a contract.

Hilarious actually. I upgraded from the nexus s, and other than the bigger screen I really don't notice a while back of a lot of difference with the nexus. Was already running CM9.

Wait, not worth upgrading without subsidy unless you can find a used one for cheap. If you're on tmobile, change to the cheap plan and you can buy new phones off contract.

People need to stop obsessing over quad cores especially when the newer dual cores are on par with them.
Because I can, and I was bored.
Correction: November through January.
Just get the Nexus. Then get the Nexus tablet when it gets out. :-D It's a great phone, why wait?

I guess that's the cool thing about a Nexus phone, even when the next one comes out, this one will still be relevant.
It's not like the jump from dual core to quad will be as significant IMO as single to dual.
Such as the GNex can and will leave the N1 and Nexus S in the dust in the following years, the next Nexus will take much longer to leave the GNex in the dust.
Clearly under par GPU on nexus ...wait for the next one and hope its better! Then buy it
Note that the price of the new Nexus could be twice as much compared to the current price of Galaxy Nexus.
But if money is not a problem, buy this, then buy the next Nexus when it comes out
Just wait it out. As good as the GN is, it's not that big of a jump from your current phone.

If you're going to drop an assload of money like you're stating... You could buy the Gal Nex and get the next Nexus too .
Its not that your nexus s is completely behind. I'd wait till next nexus.

a guy is offering me a galaxy nexus GSM plus a Nexus 7 8GB for my Tmobile galaxy s3 32GB . What are your thoughts on this should i do it? I dont have a tablet and i like the stock google but the new galaxy nexus is coming out soon. What do you guys think?
Would you rather a phone or a phone and tablet? That's your answer.
Sent from my SGH-T999
Don't do it man. LOL. I had the nexus prior to me getting the S3 and I love the S3 soooooo much more. The Nexus isnt a bad phone by any means, but speaking from somebody that had both, I think it's a step backwards. You can always flash a JB rom on the S3 and get your pure google fix. I had a chance to mess around with the Nexus 7 and I must say it is a pretty nice tablet. But overall IMO I think S3 wins hands down.
It comes with 3 batteries and 7 screen protectors and they both have cases idk I really want that tablet but if I won't be able to sell it for a good price

I would hold off and see what the next nexus brings to the table. That is my game plan... However it is going to be tuff I am quite fond of the s3

so no? im just tempted because of the nexus 7
Why are you listening to people on the internet? Do YOU want a phone that runs AOSP JB and will get the next android version before all of the others AND a tablet, or do you want a slightly better phone that may or may not see the next version of android and no tablet?
defently a tablet and a phone. What would you choose to do?
I would do it. At worse you can resell the tablet and the phone. I have both and they are great.

The S3 off contract goes for less than 500 on Craigslist.
Sounds like a pretty fair trade to me.
i bougt my s3 for 460 hes gonna give me 40 seems good to me as long as he doesnt scam me which will be pretty hard to do
Be hard to passs on a vanilla Android with the fastest updates and a full fledge tablet. I'd say go for it as well.
And I just bought my S3.

I was thinking about waiting for the new nexus but decided to order a galaxy nexus this weekend. Even if they announce a new phone tonight it will probably be a few months before you will be able to get your hands on one. The only thing that will bum me out is if they drop the price on the play store again soon.
I just got mine and I love it to death. By far the best phone I have ever owned. And!! I haven't even rooted it yet cause I'm lazy! Or! Its because my computer is at the pawn shop!

Same with the GNex.

How about now guys? My evo 3d is getting so old and acts up from time to time. I found one on craigslist for 200 bucks. I'm stuck on Sprint for the next few months so the Nexus 4 is a no go ....
I'm so tempted.

I would say yes. It's the newest nexus phone that sprint offers, since no nexus 4 :banghead:, and it's a great phone. Development is still going, and the 4.2.2 update will be coming to sprint sometime relatively soon.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
At this time, I don't think so. Just get a Nexus 4 unlocked from google. The specs are so good, and so cheap, that it's a no brainer in my opinion.
One word.... HTC must be CRAZY!
mine was offered $179
GSM is getting 170'

Smh...regardless I can get $250-$300 on Craigslist.. I know I know ..duh. But not everyone will know that.
Why would HTC pay you market value for a phone when they make phones? The guy on craigslist who would buy your phone doesnt have millions of phones at their disposal.
With that in mind, its a generous offer.

haha you can never win with those guys!
This would be worthwhile for someone who doesn't want to deal with people on craigslist. I can see why some would not. I don't have time to answer 50 emails all asking if I'll take $150 for my immaculate-condition phone that is worth much more.
Luckily I can ask my wife to handle it usually but not everyone can.

Really don't understand that's not a bad price. Unless you thought HTC was going to buy a old used phone for five hundred then sell it for six hundred. That would never work

CDMA phones for you. Lose value so much quicker. My GSM was $175 offered from HTC.
That is a solid price. GSM won't fetch much more than $200 since you can get a new one for $350

Hey, I was wondering, what does HTC do with the phones they get from the trade in program? How do they benefit?
Sent from my DROID RAZR
that is a fair price. I wouldn't pay more than 175 on cl for a gsm or cdma. nexus has never retained value. People seem to want them more when they are older because of os updates.

For what it's worth, my GSM GNex will get me $170. My brand new HTC One X (AT&T)? $175 lol
Best Buy Trade-In is offering $356 for an unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus in mint condition. Since mine hasn't been seeing much use lately (the GS3 is taking up most of my time), I'm considering taking advantage of this.

I have the OG Droid RAZR with grandfathered unlimited data on Verizon. My next upgrade is in May 2014. A local retailer has the Verizon Gnex at only $430 (full price, new.) So I am asking Gnex owners whether you would spring for the Gnex now, if you were in my position, or wait one year to see what's available then. I like my OG RAZR, but the Gnex is appealing to me.

You could go on craigslist and buy a used one in good condition for half the price of that. And u will be OK till may. 430 bucks for a phone that's that old is ridiculous if u ask me.

Mm alright, To answer your question: don't buy the Galaxy Nexus. It's a great phone but it isn't worth 430 dollars - anymore.
430 is nuts. Buy one from here if you really want one.

$430 for a Smart Phone is just unbelievable, I personally don't know what I'm going to do when I want to get a new phone ( I currently have a Galaxy Nexus with Unlimited Data). I guess I will be a couple generations behind and wait a good year and a half. I can justify buying a smartphone for $200 dollars. You can actually buy a new Galaxy Nexus on Ebay for $200.00 I would do that if you need a phone right now.
I appreciate everyone's advice. You have some very helpful people in this forum!

Since you like your current phone and not in a hurry; I'd say wait for the Nexus 5. It's unlikely to be revealed on tomorrow's I/O but should be released by November or something, and should come with Android 5, So it's worth the wait and I believe you could get an unlocked version from Google Play Store for less than what you are willing to pay at the moment.
like the person above said, I suggest you wait until the next nexus comes out in November. Plus, $430 for the galaxy nexus is outrageous and you could get it for $200 in craigslist or ebay.
