Does look tempting because it's a Nexus and future OS updates will definitely be coming to it asap. The hardware specs are actually not even as good as the Epic 4G Touch, its all software and LTE that make that phone look worthwhile to me.... and I think software will in time be equal.

I agree. Not looking foward to it so much.

the way sprint moves, my 2 year contract with this phone will be up before LTE gets even close to me, so that's not a factor in my decision. and I've honestly been uninspired by all of the nexus devices. I mean from a support standpoint you can't beat them, but I like the bells and whistles. I got the OG epic over the nexus S and never regretted it and since upgrading to the sgs2, I haven't looked back.
we have a beast device, but history dictates that uber development takes time to ramp up on these sprint devices. the og epic dev thread looks more fun now than it did when I left, and the devs we do have right now are cranking out some crazy stuff.
life is good

If this phone gets the omap4470 it will kill the e4gt .....it's a rumor that it's getting upgraded

I love my epic as well and am not jumping ship anytime soon especially for the nexus. the sgs 3 maybe another story...

Not only LTE (I'm in Houston market) but says will take advantage of improved 3g speeds mid 2012
I think the advantage of network speed, and stock ICS puts this device over our phone. plus benefits of bigger screen, nfc etc. plus, its a new toy!

That's the key right there...I have read a few places that it MAY get a spec bump. You know if its "the developers phone" then they have heard the pros and cons especially from people on XDA

If it does get the new TI Omap 4470 @1.5 then I'm probably gonna sell my epic touch and get it. I.love my nexus s alot and the Omap4470 would be a beast.

I'd give it a couple weeks after it comes out to see whats wrong with it and how the LTE network holds up, before trade out for it.

I'll be giving it a few months after release and see how things shape up with both the phone and Sprint's LTE deployment. Although if I buy any phone within my 2 year contract the GS3 or whatever this year's Samsung flagship will be is still at the top of my list. I haven't written HTC off either. I have a feeling they will turn it around on Sprint this year now that LTE is coming. 2011 was a very weak year for HTC/Sprint.

well although it is tempting apple is suing for patent infringement on the nexus. they need to stop ****ing suing companies that make their damn chips. I ****ing hate apple because they aren't allowing for competition. they choose to sue the hell out of everyone. even if the somehow ridded the cellphone industry of android(impossible I know lol) I would still go to something else like a winmo or blackberry. apple will never get my money.

I'll wait until 4g is implemented like 3g on phones. The razr got the right idea

I have upgrade in April and see what is out. I have upgrade in August too so that is for quad core phone.
I would make the jump to LTE anyway, as I said the much better 3g will surpass current 4g

Seriously, while I do agree that Sprint can improve on some of its coverage I do have to say this phone the Epic 4G Touch is da bombzzzz
I absolutely love this phone. While I do not get 4G in my hometown the phone has been working awsome and I have not missed a call or text. All of it works great and if and when we do get 4G here then that's just icing on the cake on top of a already scrumptious German chocolate triple decker cake.
Have to agree on that you form an opinion on a less par phone (moment). I have to say I'm some what of a phone whore and seem to change phones like underwear, but the e4gt is by far the best I've owned in a while. Sprints service could be better and were not even gonna talk about their customer service, but this phone is good enough for me to just live with crappy service in my area and live with the airave that their sending me.
Sometimes I think people post things like this because they want to get flamed.

We have both iPhone's and Androids at work in our Technology Department. I prefer the Android's but the iPhone's work good too for those who prefer them.
To each there own. Some people like Fords and some people prefer Chevy or Dodge. Some people prefer crack, others like meth.
Looked at your username. Any android phone is in no way similar to the iPhone.
The iPhone sucks donkey ass.
The people on android forums wont help you get a piece of **** closed source phone...
What is one way the iPhone is superior?
Anyways, sprint has a one month return policy.
I guess you are too stupid to use android.
Epic touch is 4g, has a way better screen, has better audio, runs better, has better battery life, is open source, and is more state of the art.
The iPhone took features from android not the other way around.

That's very sleek. If it's real it'll be one more reason to give the SG3 a hard look when (if ever) it comes out.
Yea. It looks almost too sleek. Like a touch screen remote or something. Its a serious stretch from what we've seen. But with the advancements this phone is supposed to usher in.....its almost kinda fitting. My OG Epic line is up in October.
Hopefully that's enough time for it to get jerked around by sprint and have a decent rumor on a release date.....

Looks like its gonna be made with aluminum and ceramic maybe? Looks like it could be the real deal tho the invite date is right afaik, the only problem is the US variant won't make it here til sometime end of 3rd or 4th quarter since Sammy didn't let this one out of the cage til September I don't see them dropping another flagship device less than 12 months from the last especially since the epic 2 is coming this summer which is basically our phone with LTE instead of wimax, but most of the specs are very similar otherwise

Honestly I could see them dropping it sooner. While the Epic 2 is known about it's pretty much a refresh of the Epic that is already there and no it's not a Epic Touch it's the Epic with the keyboard so it's the update to that model nothing more and with better specs. I could see Sammy dropping this on everyone if what they said was true about wanting to release it world wide in 1 shot instead of how the GS2 was released where people pretty much had to wait almost a year to get their hands on it (outside of the GSM version)
Also that looks like the back of the phone as many have said in that posting. I tend to agree with it as well but seriously if that really is it....Shut up and take my money please now!!!!

True the hard keyboard is nice to have at times but I have to admit after using one for so long and pretty much jumping ship to a touch only phone I don't see myself being able to go back.

I was just about the post the $50 credit for Google Wallet. I wonder if Sprint will allow me to push an early upgrade out of it? I may just have to buy it from someone else with my E4GT and some cash, but overall, I really want it. lol
So my line with the e4gt is ready for a upgrade and my wife line that she said I can have her upgrade will be ready in august. So I'm thinking about trading my e4gt for the nexus due to more rom support, then use my wife upgrade for the sg3.
Don't know what to do!

The good ol' hand me downs. If you're really that adamant on getting the SGS3, you may aswel hold out for it, so you're not stuck with a phone for 2 years. There will be another phone in the next year you'll want, and you'll be out of upgrades if you use them both this year.

i dont know if you're joking, trolling, or stupid. sgs3 will be better than the nexus in every aspect. seriously, touchwiz means nothing because it can be removed anyways, and the stock rom can be replaced with AOSP too.

Verizon's is really fast and has a large bandwidth( hope I'm using that right) like a my buddy pulled down 20 mbps at the bar. But your going to pay a premium for it. I'm content with the speeds that I get with T-Mobile

Yea as all the others stated here in New York City Verizon is the fastest. But the monthly bill that follows as well as the taxes and frees aren't worth it. I had a Gnex on their network for about 4 months then sold the phone and terminated my contract $360 to move to the $30 monthly 4g plan with my white gsm nexus I bought off ebay

My friend pulled 35mbps on virgin mobile LTE where I live. She consistently can pull that too. On my HSDPA model I pull 18mbps consistently with virgin mobile.
Yep Verizon will win and make you broke at the same time!
OK..i too can pull super fast speeds as well on my vzw nexus. My question however is how do the other networks claim they are the fastest? We have all seen and heard the commercials. I know all about marketing and what not. Are they just lying? Or is there something I'm missing?

Well nobody is going to say they are the slowest. Just because they say something doesn't make it true

It's all about the wording. T-mobile will say they have the fastest 4G network (HSPA+) which is true. And in AT&T commercials they claim to have the largest 4G network..which is also true. Neither carrier even touches on LTE when talking about largest or fastest, because they can't compete there.
Verizon is fastest i think

It depends where you live. Like on average where I work att is a hair faster than Verizon but in most areas you'll find the roles reversed. Also look to see sprints speeds. Their network is pretty empty so you'll probably see better speeds.

Verizon in warner robins Ga. Most places I go are 20+ DL speeds. Rare I get less than 15.
This was taken while driving through Indianapolis a couple days ago on AT&T's LTE network.

On what device? You need to compare same device, otherwise its pointless.
Allow me to explain. Android uses buffers for the network in the initramfs. Manufacturers like to tweak these. You can essentially trick a speedtest into reporting over 100Mbps down. This is how the Thunderbolt was pulling 60+ with LTE at times.
Speedtests are fun but fall under the same trap as most benchmarks, and are really not indicative of true performance.

If you look at the commercials T-Mobile claims there android phones are faster than every other companies iPhone which would be true seeing how the iPhone is only 3g. Hands down Verizon is the fastest in my eyes. I don't mind paying the price for the speeds. Check out my signature that was the fastest I got but stopped testing because I realized I used over 500 mb of data doing speed tests alone
Accidentally thanked you but it wouldn't hurt ehh? But in his sig. it does say Galaxy Nexus.
