Why should I buy this phone? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So I saw in a post on my sub forum you can get a Nexus S for about 60 bucks. I've played with this phone before and I loved it. I thought it was true good to be true, and I want to buy one sooooo badly.
SO the point of this thread is for you Nexus S owners to talk me into buying this phone, or talk me out of it.
Any recalls? And as of now I have the Samsung Epic 4G as my current phone and was wondering if the nexus isn't a good phone compared to my epic.

Are you desparate to have top end phone?
Do u just want ICS?
Then the nexus s will probably justsuit u

If you can't find a reason yourself, save your money until you do.
Its going to be your pocketbook it hits, not ours.

Yes, and yes! Ics is just so smooth I love it. I'm on cm9 but the nexus is a lot thinner and I liked it when I played with it.

60 bucks isn't much, id prolly sell my epic if I really needed to. But the thing I want to know is: would you recommend this phone?

OP you said Nexus S. This is the Galaxy Nexus forum. If you meant the Galaxy Nexus, then yes buy one.
If you mean the Nexus S, No, wait for the Galaxy Nexus to launch on Sprint.

I reccommend it to those who don't mind being early adopters which means bugs, and are not gamers/benchmark whores.
Games play fine, but it is not the fastest gaming device out there.
If you want latest and greatest software, this is it. It is not perfect by any means but.it.is enjoyable as long as you are not a perfectionist.

Of course we would recommend it, this is the Galaxy Nexus forum after all.

You can probably buy a GN for $60 from the people disappointed about the 4.0.5 delay.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
We've seen that statement before. But with Samsung owning both the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S(which gets ICS slightly after the Galaxy N launch) It will be nothing for the Euro GSG2 to get ICH. But as we all know the carries in the US will add months if not quarters to that.
So what I'm saying is don't hold your breath for anything on US SGS2's.
Thank goodness for xda. I bet we have it before the nexus galaxy comes out. And with full root and mods.

the euro/att version will probably have it soon, but the Epic Touch seems to be a whole different animal.
Just enjoy your phone people. History shows that the branded phones will get the OS updates in the middle if 2012, a long time away. I for one love the touchwiz ui on this phone and am happy with it. There is nothing I need the phone to do that is doesn't do with gingerbread.

We will get it when CM9 comes out for our device. That will be the first we see of it.
No ETAs. Don't ask me and definitely don't ask them.
So get to praying for (or helping with) getting CM7 running now to help with ICS later.
Me? I'm no worry. The phone kicks ass as it is. Enjoy it.
This phone with Ice Cream Sandwich will bring it to another level. Once that happens, I won't feel a need to even want the Galaxy Nexus. Will definetly be able to wait a lot more patient for the SGS3!

[Q] win7 vs Epic? 100$ or new phone.

So i reading that if you are @ CES now, you have challenge your phone vs an window to see which is faster and if you win you get $100 and if you lose, you lose your phone and get an windows phone.
so can the epic beat an win7 phone?

Exactly But how do they think that we lose our phones because then how are they supposed to activate that phone under account with pushing the 2 years im so confused on that part. and the UI is so different the damn WP7 phones are a screen with blocks ; oooh so great looking almost like 8-bit haha. I guarantee their roms are like what 20 mb's haha they have nothing compared to android.
And if they do a speed test like quadrant forget it they lost haha.
I could downgrade to Froyo and use Old Goodies and get over 4000 on Quadrant. LOL they wouldn't know what hit them
its an win-win. if the epic is faster, you get 100$ if you "lose" you get an new phone. you can play with the new phone for an few months and sell it later. the value of that phone should be alot higher then epic. there is no losing.
@ XxLostSoulxX: i would think you activate the @ CES and then they recycle your phone.
it doesnt say what the test are but sure ms figured that they will lose few 1000s but win when more ppl are using these phones. cuz you may like it after using it.
and yes, there is an keyboard one,4 the keyboard ppl.

Iphone Is like MIUI, but closed source. It's a nice OS, it's up to the consumer to decide what OS suits you. If you want something that "just works" go for an iphone, if you're all about customizing and making your phone yours, go for Android.

hmmm, that solves it for me, I'm running Ti. Backup on my CM7 b/c i want to try the MIUI, but since it's like the iPhone, i think i'll pass and go try the Marcusant Rom... #WIN
update: I flashed MIUI anyway... it's growing on me. The dev did an incredible job on this ROM. I think i'll have this one for a hot minute, then give Marcusant Rom a whirl! I'm sure after i get my fill, there will be some monster updates, like CM9 on the horizon. #newWIN

Im in your boat, but i thought about it and its like, what would you go to? Downgrade to a GN with no SDcard slot and crappier camera?
Well eventually get ICS, MAYBE CM9, and when ICS is out some roms based on it. I wont spend hundreds just to get ICS a couple months early on crappier hardware.
I may sell it in the summer for a GSIII depending how that looks, but i wont side/downgrade.
Any reason why you guys didn't post this in his screen fix thread directly? He's still responding to questions over there
I really don't get the whole ICS gig! People act like it's the second coming of christ! I mean WTF! Lol this device is already awesome with outout christ or ICS!

Going from ICS to touchwiz GB has been, less than exciting. Luckily the hardware is so awesome.

I just can't believe people forked out 500+ dollars for this phone only to ubderplay it because of another phone.

Understandable, (un)fortunately there really isn't a better option unless its the Exynos version or the GNex, and i like the term "side"-grading because that's really all it is. What's bugging you about it? I think I'm GLAD that I can take a rest from all the flashing and sleepless nights battery calibrating finding the best combinations of roms and kernels (this is my first android, coming off 4 years of Bberry). How will a new device change your user experience/expectations?

Worth switching over?

Okay so I just dropped my HTC One S and it completely shattered the screen.

and what does this suppose to do with the fact what I have said?
If you had exynos version you know what I mean.
But don't forget I'm rocking GN on jelly bean and loving it. But that doesn't mean I can't say some bad about it.
2 things to consider if I were you:
1. If you want the pure Google experience, not a hybrid vendor/android phone; definitely the GneX or wait until later in year for the Nexus line.
2. If you prefer a bit more "powerful" hardware right now, the Galaxy S III is the best option in my opinion. Of course you have to deal with Carrier lock and Samsung's TWiz running on top of Android OS.
Both are win win situations, just depends on your preference...

At the risk of hijacking your thread, can you tell me what it is about TW roms you don't like? I am not discounting your position but instead just don't see it. LOL I have been using Blu Kuban or Goodness or M'ICS forever and in between I play with CM9, CM10, PA, AOKP etc. To be honest I don't see what the differences are that people talk about.
ahhh why upgrade now when the next gen phones are surely around the corner!
I've had an upgrade for 5 months and just keep waiting for something truly more impressive.. (granted sgsiii is better and beautiful but not upgrade worthy IMHO)
The GS3, experience wise, will be far too much like our GS2's. Especially running TouchWiz. I need something NEW! Theres an upgrade on my account, so ill be picking up an iPhone 5 tonight. Depending on when Sprint gets the next Nexus, maybe ill sell it for $550 and buy it. Apples resell values are amazing.
I know I dont care bud.

LOL I have been using Blu Kuban or Goodness or M'ICS forever and in between I play with CM9, CM10, PA, AOKP etc. To be honest I don't see what the differences are that people talk about.

Aosp apps, themes, customizability, and launchers are better. There's no bloat either. Pretty much everything...

Yeah I'm leaning on going Note 2 as well. I just put my GS2 on Craigslist with some great extras included I'm sure it will sell fast
I'm trying to leave as well but I can't sell my device because it's the second asurion replacement that I've gotten broken.
I'm hoping the next one I get actually works because I can't have them send me a gnex or anything, they'll only offer the Evo Design.
Yet they say they don't do upgrades or downgrades.

I dislike TouchWiz in general While I gave it a chance the first month of my phone I just really like/want AOSP. I don't see the need for ui skins over what is already a beautiful OS in my eyes. While I'm sure the roms are fine I stay away from TouchWiz based roms period does not matter how good they are it's just not me.

I just picked up a GS3 for $200 in box new and clean esn I'm not worried about the price or black friday sales to be honest.

Cause my S2 is currently acting like a retard (hardware issues) I'm getting it replaced but I needed another phone since there are no in store replacement phones where I'm at right now. Also this was my first phone with Sprint so having a backup was always on my mind. As it is if/when the new Nexus device comes to Sprint I'll drop the cash and pick that up I will be rooting my S3 as it is so makes no difference to me.

Friend of mine who had 2 of them wanted to get rid of one.
Goodbye Sprint
I'm going to bump this thread, I just got fed up with Sprints crappy service and paying for slow or no 4G at all. My point for bumping this thread is to give thanks to the very talented devs producing ROM's and keeping the forum active.
Went to AT&T, signal is really good and 4G LTE is really spectacular.
