Opinion - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I recently made the switch to the Galaxy Nexus from the Galaxy S II T989 and I have to say I'm loving the change.
Would anyone else agree? Or did I downgrade?

This phone is always compared to the S2. There's plenty of threads for that. I personally think its an upgrade, but most people on THE NEXUS FORUM will probably think so.

Going to a Nexus from any phone is an upgrade imo

Dude, just get out of here.

He's new, and new pointless threads are always being made, so we've just gotta let it happen.

Agreed. I've seen far worst questions and threads. You all overreacted. Smokeey still made me laugh though lmfao

I came from the LG G2x/p999. After that experience, I learned that stability and having a phone that "just works" are far more important to me than having the "fastest hardware."

Pretty sure that was the VZW model.
But the Sprint model should be on Amazon Wireless too. Not for $0.01 tho.

The galaxy nexus is a quality piece of kit, as phones go its up there with the best.

Stock ICS > any skinned rom. Fact.

It's still a solid phone, and $100 is a pretty good upgrade price. But newer phones have come out and will continue to, so it basically comes down to what you feel is the right move. Sorry for the smart ass replies, but it's like someone asking if they should root their phone. Do a little research and make the call. Obviously the majority of us are going to say yes.

I am also new to the nexus forums, just arranged to buy one for 225. Woot! It'll be my fourth Android phone, and I'm finally ready to start getting my feet wet with some developing and/or theme making. Started with the Captivate, then the Infuse, currently on a Note, and now I'm adding the GNex as my secondary phone for developing. Although I think it has potential to displace my Note as my daily driver. I love Samsung phones. =].
My desire for getting into developing comes from my ORCD, as just flashing ROMs is not enough anymore.

Galaxy Nexus vs Galaxy S2

Which one should I go with? I know that there are similar threads but now since S2 has ICS, is it still worth going with the nexus? Please help
Nexus of course. Fast update and nexus have 4.1.1 and its soooo smooth :good:
Go with the nexus: better screen, UPDATES, great processor, amazing dev community, no TouchWiz, and no contract.

Yeah, but is it worth the sacrifice of the better hardware on the S2?

Ive done the opposite. Was always trying to make my s3 look like nexus pure vanilla style but couldn't stand the glitches involved.
In the end I sold s3 & bought the nexus
Hope you enjoy yours better than I did

Hello, my name is the7thson and I have a problem...

Just figured I'd share my addiction story amongst my fellow Android kin who would understand. I'm addicted to the Nexus line. I literally own everything ever made that says Nexus on it (other than the Q, but they pulled that pretty quickly).
I always think I'm going to sell a device and move on to the next one, but for some reason I keep hoarding them and never getting rid of them.. I have no idea why. Attached are some pictures.
And yes, I have 2 GNexii, one is for every day stable use and the other one is for discovering new features before they're ready for prime time
Today I bought a Nexus 4, but somehow convinced myself that I don't need Nexus 10 since I'm so happy with my Nexus 7. Whew, dodged that bullet!
I realize this is off-topic and not exactly productive in any way, but I figured who else would understand if not this bunch.
EDIT: I'm sure you all already know this, but just in case: Clockwise from top left - Nexus One, Nexus 7, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Nexus. All carrier unlocked.
At least its not drugs.

I can understand perfectly. The only thing i don't have in your picture is the nexus s. I made a mistake in selling it. Have nexus one, nexus 7, 2 gnex and waiting for nexus 4. It's not an addiction. It's a passion. Hehehe
