Who is upgrading to the Galaxy Nexus?

Hi,
just wondered who is upgrading your Nexus S to the Nexus Prime? Who is willing to invest over 500€/$ for this new Google Device?

I'll definitely wait for a lot of reviews, roms, ice cream on Nexus S to compare and price drop, then i decide what to do.
The screen seems outstanding but there are almost no apps for that resolution, and upscaling is not that good. The ram is nice but i prefer 2gb to never worry about it (at least for 2 years).

I'm already in queue and my wife gets the "S".

I like 4.0 inches screen, and 4.65 inch is too large for me... Not easy for taking .

just got my nexus s since june... I did not earn so much to spend 600 euros on new phone every 6 months...
and to keep talking nexus s is not so bad at all....

I'm going to stick with my nexus s as I also don't want/need a giant screen...4" is perfect for me. I'm just praying we get ICS on our phones soon!

If it's a sexy handset which uses nice materials and has a premium feel then I will definately be upgrading.
If it's plasticky and looks typically dull then I will be hesitant and wait to see how ICS performs on my current Nexus S.
Price is irrelevant to me.

I'm perfectly happy with my Nexus S, why would I upgrade?

I'm just a poor underage boy, so I'll probably wait for the next Nexus device. Also, I don't know if I like the design from the posters...

Gomna upgrade and pass this along to my son, now when it will show up north of the border is another thing.

If Sprint gets this, I'll plan to be on deck to grab two for me and the wife.

the screen is too big but i have bought both nexus one and nexus s one day one lol so i think so but i am perfectly happy with nexus s to be honest there not much i think i need in a phone until 10pm tonight lmao

I'm going to wait and see how ICS performs on the Nexus S but it's gonna be hard to resist and not buy this new baby

I'll wait to see how ICS looks on the S. Also, I will have to wait for Brodit to do the active car kit for it. Couldn't live without the current one now...
Maybe it'll be a bit cheaper by then too...

If it comes to sprint & if I got the $ then it's a 100% yes that I will get it the only thing that can make me hesitate is when specs , pictures
of Galaxy S3 comes out cuz that phone will have even better specs I can bet on that 100%

I will wait for price drop, 6 months or so ...

I'll be picking one up the first day the GSM variant is released. Then the Nexus S will become a dedicated Google TV remote, and the ADP1 will go to the museum. Selling the Nexus S for $150 just isn't worth it, whereas selling the Nexus One for $400 (with dock) after getting the Nexus S was definitely worth it. And I really love the Nexus S.

WP7

I got sick of my BB Curve 3G that i use for work, so I picked up an HTC Surround off of Ebay for 100 bucks.
I just got it yesterday and haven't even update to7.5 yet. So far I have been impressed.
I don't see me leaving Android and my E4GT. However, it's nice to pick up another phone on another OS to play with.
If you have any WP7 questions I'll try to answer then as I get more aquainted with the os.

My mom has the lumia 900 and it's fun to toy around with, but I can't see leaving android for Windows...not customizable enough for me.

I had an old HTC HD2 lying around (probably the most-hackable phone even more than the EVO). I ran everything from GB to ICS to Ubuntu but by far the best OS was WP7.5. Runs so smooth, and the animations are beautiful.

Wow, lots of intelligent conversation going on here. Thanks to the two individuals that replied on topic.
Also, to the tools posting pictures, please provide links to your contributions to xda. I would love to see the code you've written or themes you've created.

Glad to hear your enjoying WP7. You definitely need to update to 7.5, even better. I have a Focus on ATT as a back up phone and I love the OS.
I've had six Android devices (purely a hardware choice - AMOLED, dual core, etc.) choice. I must say that ICS has changed my feelings toward Android, I actually like the look and feel of 4.04. In fact just got the GSIII and love it.
Are you considering moving from your GSII to the GSIII? The Epic Touch is a great phone but the Galaxy SIII is outstanding. Just my very humble opinion.

7.5 is a definite upgrade. I don't like it as much as 4.0.4, but it is nice and smooth.
Definitely thinking about the SGIII. My upgrade isn't until November, so we'll see what's out then.

Widows Phone. :laugh: Fun toy but not really there yet.
I have a few buddies with wp7 but I have not ever come close to thinking about leaving android. As far as customization goes android can not be beat. Windows phone is a nice alternative to the iphone, but has nothing on android. I have used both and that is a phone for novice users.

Apple's new A6 chip - incredibly fast with battery life to spare!

Hahahhaa, this is funny!

According to anandtech the A6 is a custom design by apple like Krait is by Qualcomm. Samsung is only the manufacturer not the designer of the chip

Don't they design their chips and have Samsung manufacture them?

Nice! Samsung should set the chips to self destruct when retardation is detected! :laugh:

Apple does design it. Samsung does the grunt work.

This is stupid. Apple design the thing and thought it up.. Samsung only manufactured it. In other words they where just hands to build the thing wow..

The iPhone is a better UX. Having used both platforms, I can genuinely say I prefer iOS. Android has more features, and the openness and packability is nice, but Apple designs hardware better than any Android OEM, and iOS is perfectly nice out of the box on my iPad

Did anybody else notice apple claimed to have the thinnest phone in the world when in fact oppo has that title at 6.65mm?

This thread has nothing to do with yours or anyone else's opinion on iOS. Or about android for that matter. Why can't apple have a nicely designed processor? We're starting to become quite the butthurt little group aren't we?

[Q] Anyone making the switch to iPhone 5

Curious if anyone decided to make the switch from Gnex over to the iPhone 5.

Why?

Why bother? The GNexus has more features, more customizabilty, a modern OS, and is a proper improvement over the last Google phone.

Not me, that ios is just so exciting I'm not sure I could handle it!

No why would I? It's a downgrade + next Nexus is possibly around the corner.

No thanks next nexus out in less than 3mo

Not a chance. Came over from 3gs, 4 & 4s. That UI has never changed, so uninspiring & dull.
Ive seen the future & its nexus shaped!!

Negative! Downgrade IMO, but I'd love to play with one so I can go back and feel what Android early 2011 felt like

I'd be willing to save you a place in line if you are elderly!

I would love to have enough money to buy an iPhone 5 off contract from the apple store. I'd be the guy who walks out of the store, unbox it in front of everyone waiting, smash it on the wall and stomp it a few times then leave.

I think the nexus area is the worst to ask this. In short HELL no

My brother bought one. Once it arrives I'll make a final judgement of it, but as of right now I'm leaning towards buying one.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

The only thing the iPhone 5 has that is a major improvement over the GN is the camera. Other than that, if you already have a GN, I don't see a major reason to jump to the new iPhone.

Cuz i like being shackled and surrounded by a support group with the same shackles. :banghead:

Need your opinions...

So right now I have an evo4g lte (not a thing wrong with it). Sprint sent me a white galaxy s3 (refurb) with only 15 total life calls on it and less than an hour of use. It only came with a charger. It was basically sprint saying, hey sorry for a messup try out this phone if you don't like it send it back...or keep it and send back evo.
Questions...
When I got the evo I purchased best buys buyback on the evo. Wouldn't I lose the buyback on the evo ? What's the best deal to not lose money? (got evo on release day)
Why would a refurb have such little use and are refurbs a concern?
My next upgrade is Feb 2014.
I've took a look already of what others said pros and cons are.
Just looking for advice from community to come to a decision
Thanks!
Sent from my EVO using xda premium

Stick with the s3 man you won't be disappointed. Night and day difference in quality and performance over your evo.. Buyback plan may switch to the s3 since they sent it to you but I'm not sure. You made money off this deal by them sending you that phone regardless of it being refurb. I've rarely had an issue with any refurbished devices.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Why is Sprint sending you a reverb when your evo has nothing wrong with it?
Aside from that it's your personal opinion on which one you like more. I can't stand HTC phones so I'm no help.

Wow lucky person lol. I'd stick with the gs3 but I'm biased. My wife's old evo ruined HTC for me.
Sent from Pluto.

The S3 is better than the Evo LTE in my opinion. I also can't stand Sense or HTC support. Its not a huge upgrade though. I would talk to Best Buy about how much they would give you etc. But just to be very clear the S3 has better hardware and software and will get upgrades for Android faster and more often.

Gotcha....
I guess my only concerns now is it appears if the phone is replaced and the buy back isn't attached to the esn then you lose out in the program if I take the galaxy...or keep what I have for another year and figure that I won't be paying out if pocket a whole lot of money for the next greatest thing.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium

Well here's my opinion on the gs3 or evo lte why I got the gs3 was one the fact that I can't stand not being able to switch batterys if needed but other than that they have just about the same specs and I just liked the look of the gs3 better and flip covers they look so cool right haha just wish Samsung made black gs3 for sprint
