No lol. Not even close to a consideration here. It has Sense. And its not a Nexus... by the time this comes out the Nexus will be 5 months old and it still isn't a consideration for me.

Yes. Its gonna have Snapdragon S4 dual core (which should have good performance though) in order to have AT&T LTE.
Also, it only has 512mb RAM. Releasing in April... Really?
The phone hasn't been released. The quad core version might best the Nexus but still have sense.

HTC put themselves in trouble the way I see it.. they release a few new phones that are not very impressive.. yea it has ics and a few cool features and a quad core processor which every phone will soon have but not anything to die for... I would take a gsII over this and its a year old... and now with the GSIII coming out soon, this will be outdated in know time.. I'm slightly disappointed:/ so I will defiantly be holding on to my nexus for at least a year unless Samsung really impresses me!

Why does it matter that it has Sense? You and majority of the people on XDA have a custom rom loaded. Even though the Galaxy Nexus has pure Android, many use a custom rom.
If you were given a phone with 512mb ram and 1gb of ram, I bet you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
An April release is considered good for Android. That's a little over a month away. Android manufacturers are notorious for announcing a device well before the release date.

HTC sucks. After the hd2 there hasn't been one good device from them. Our device will not be outdated. Nexus s and Galaxy Nexus will be future proof. I'm only supporting Samsung they seem to be the only consistent company as far as devices.
How about releasing a quad core hd2 with a better display and ffc. That phone will never die. Endless support.

Actually I don't have a custom ROM. That's why I bought a Nexus lol. And that doesn't mean I can't hate on Sense (had an Evo 4G, and I'm scarred for life). I'm glad they're making it lighter than previous versions, but its still there...

Thing is, its being released already behind on this spec. Phones already have 1gb RAM. It will be VERY tired with 512mb a year from now when I'm expected to still be using it. Not future proof at all with 512mb, that's my point.

No, I'm not interested, otherwise I would take part in the discussion in the proper sub-forum.
Also I'm not interested if there is any extra UI on it that I cannot disable/uninstall.
The manufacturer doesn't release the original ROM for download so I can flash it back if necessary? Not interested.

In the same boat here and it really is a difficult decision. In one mind I love my GS2 but the 720p display, pure google experience and notification led is certainly attractive!
I just returned my AT&T GS2 a few minutes ago and I'll be picking up the Galaxy Nexus. I really liked the GS2, but as a Nexus One owner, there's nothing like owning a Nexus!

So going for Galaxy Nexus
Fast updates and software support is enough reason to ditch GS2 for the galaxy nexus. Especially now that manufacturers are beginning to move to next stage of hardware. 720p will be the next standard for screen resolution. and when android 5.0/jelly bean comes, Galaxy Nexus will be getting it officially. And Galaxy S2 might not.

I'd definitely go with any Nexus device over any other Android phone simply because of the updates. Google will keep their promise to keep their devices updated for the minimum 18 months that they're asking all the other manufacturers to do. Samsung apparently isn't going to update the SGS1 even though it could handle the update (has nearly the same specs as the NS for crying out loud) and they'll more than likely try to skin 4.0 when they do get around to updating. I remember waiting and waiting and waiting for my Vibrant to get 2.2 before I finally ditched it for the Nexus S. Never looked back after that choice. You will not be disappointed with your decision to sell and wait for the GN.

It still takes time for developers to port official android updates to non nexus device. so basically the nexus line up gets the fastest, conplete, less buggy and timely updates.

No I didn't because I left my phone on the reply screen via tapatalk as I typed my message. Also, no one can officially determine what might come to be within the next months.
So your point being is? We both hope the sprint version gets the 2 GB's of ram, and an exynos processor.
It won't be Exynos... as of now, those are incompatible with 4G networks. Unless some technology breakthrough occurs, then it's the S4. But the S4 isn't really even worse than the Exynos. Granted it is dual core, it still benchmarks really similar scores.
The 2GB RAM sounds like a likely possibility though. I'm sure they would include it if the Japanese get it with the same processor.
Wasn't Sony suppose to release a 12mp android soon?

It's all about personal preference. The Nexus has data speeds with a theoretical max of 21 Mbps where as the S2 is 42.
On the other hand, the nexus will always have the latest and greatest software ( as long as the device is still supported by google).
Depends on what you're going to do. With a custom ROM, I found the performance to be slightly better with the G.Nexus in normal day-to-day activities such as texting and web browsing (because of Project Butter). However, the difference is pretty small. I also highly prefer the stock OS but G.Nexus does not have wifi calling so that was a deal breaker for me.

I would not get a phone with an Exynos processor after what codeworkx said about it, but that's just me.
Also, not sure how many ROMs you are looking for. There's a bunch of TouchWiz, there's CM10, AOKP, MIUI (still WIP), and some other AOSP-derived ROMs.
Thats what they said when att got note I. Go check the note I development and you will see how vivid it is +devs are waiting the release of stable jellybean. And idk what you mean by dead, we got every possible rom that exists around xda community. If you are a flash addict then that is your problem. But the best kernel dev has a galaxy s3(faux) + we got cyanogen also. As it regard touchwiz there is not much to dev about it cuz sammy did really well. Some theming and stuff will be good so yeah congrats for your topic, you sound like a total noob

I'm not a noob I'm just saying as if the note 2 came out would the s3 development slow down for t mobile...
Reason why I'm asking is cause the note 2 processor is much better... also better video card..
Wouldn't all the android enthusiasts go after the note 2? Especially the devs.?

Reread your post. You said that the s3 dev community is dead. And keep in mind that note 2 grabs only the attention of maybe 20% of the buyers cuz most of them do not like something that is that huge. Plus do some research. Its processor is old technology uses a9. When a15 comes out then yes you can call it an upgrade.

We have plenty of development but you can use ATT's roms/kernels on this too you know..
Wait so every rom for att works for this? How come devs don't post them in t mobile forum?

No way I would get a Note. Way to big and I have big hands. Just no reason for it.
When buying my S3, rep had what I thought was a tablet streaming music off it. He said it was the Note 1 and sat it down next to the S3 and I was like I am amazed at how many people use this as a phone. He told me he never uses it as a phone, rather an entertainment device. Had an Apple as his regular phone, lol!
Biggest I would go is....maybe 5", but honestly feel 4.8" is the sweet spot for guys with decent sized hands. Girls 4.3" should suffice.
I honestly believe the phablets will be a thing of the past in less than a couple years, maybe even sooner.

Not note 2 for me. Phone looks great but I think is too much for me, I thought this phone was too big at first. The only thing it help was that I had a galaxy nexus and evo lte, I don't think 5 inches will be comfortable to use but who knows, I never thought I was going to get bigger then 4.3 (back on 2010 with original evo) and here we are now ha ha

4.8 is def a sweet spot, but at times it can be a chore reaching your thumb towards the top of the screen while using it one handed. Most people use bluetooth ear devices anyway so phonewise its not a huge concern with size

It will, but that doesn't mean it is a better processor.

I'd prefer the Galaxy S3. I was drooling over the Note 2 at first, but I did some more research and the Galaxy S3 is a better size, price, and overall phone for me.
It is super hard to get aosp ROMs going on exynos based devices...Samsung doesn't like to release there source and drivers for there soc and when they do it is to late and outdated. Omap and Qualcomm are great at releasing s#it
I have a feeling there will be a lot of tw based ROMs for the N2. Maybe one or two hacked up aosp ROMs
I guess I'm sticking with what i have

now you have a thousand
(Sorry it bothered me xD)
And on topic, i surely hope this phone doesnt die off so quickly. I got it for the development, as the S2 was highly lacking.
