Idk man I ask myself this everyday lol I don't want to sell or trade my s2 in fear that I'll regret it later. I'm just going to try to save up for one haha

Do it man. I left this phone and had it for a good 6 months. If you truly care about updates you will not regret it. The development is great and the phones is amazing. You will have all the newest updates and besides, the GS2 will not likely see JB. Nexus has slower data speeds, but not a huge difference, has a pretty decent camera, storage wise, you just need to handle memory better, people have so much crap they don't need.
In short, I am super happy I made the switch to the Nexus from this phone.

I just realized it only costs $349. So tempted.

If you're gonna make the switch, do it quickly. Apple just won a ban on Galaxy Nexus sales in the US.

Everyone is jumping ship for JB. If its in perfect condition there should be someone willing to pay around $300+ for it. Im just going to wait it out and re-up when my contract is up.

I just got my t989 a week ago so its in perfect condition can probably get 300+ for it. but im going to be patient and wait. I'm not going to rush and sell this phone yet.

Purchased mine back in January off-contract, don't plan to get the GNex, if i do get a newer phone it will be the GNex's successor and ill prolly purchase one in January at the earliest.

I would rather have a user post a stupid question and learn how to do something the correctly than to have them be worried and screw up... Everyone's gotta start somewhere - none of us just magically knew how to do all of this.
Anyways, enjoy your new phone! When I got mine, the very first thing I did was unlock, flash TWRP and install AOKP. ^_^ Coming from a locked Droid X2, this is like heaven to me.

Me too! Came in the mail today as well. Have you tried wallet yet? I had a S3 and I never could get wallet to work. That's what prompted the nexus.

Have not yet any luck with it ?

It was already installed when I received the phone. I have the gsm version. If you're on Verizon, I think there is a way to get it installed. Check out the galaxy s3 forum for instructions. Just a note, I followed the instructions there before I returned the s3 and wallet never worked.

Aw well I will look into it see if I can find something about it thanks man

it would have been better to wait for the n4 imo.. but the gnex is a awesome phone with alot of development so i am sure you will like it

Congrats for the phone. I myself jumped to the wagon of galaxy S2 a year later when s3 was just around the corner. I didn't regret a bit. Same now with galaxy nexus.. Not regretting it a bit.. Got it a fortnight ago. The ready baked development and mature kernels trump it all. Enjoy your phone

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Just to know you are not alone, I got my GNex yesterday. Upgraded from my Epic. I didn't want to leave Sprint, so no N4 for me. Decided to save my upgrade for next year and buy a used Gnex off eBay. Infinitely better than my Epic and probably good enough to last me another year.
Jason

I'd prefer this phone over the n4 personally..
ignore all the hate! welcome to the forums

While I would have waited for the N4, don't worry because the Gnex kicks serious ass anyway. A lot of Gnex owners including myself aren't upgrading because the Gnex is a beast!

I'm planning to do the same. Do you think the price will go down when the N4 is released? Really low on money but I just can't take this X2 still on Gingerbread.
Sent from my MB870 using xda app-developers app

Again, you are not alone. I also jumped on this ship. Snatched a Gnex on Ebay for US$232.00 shipped. Great deal. In my case, right now i can't afford the Nexus 4 because spending US$300.00 is out of my reach. Simple as that. And even if i could spend USD$300.00, i would still consider the Gnex over the Nexus 4 because of the storage. 8Gb is waaay to low. 16gb is already low, but i think i can make it with it, but 8gb is out of the question. Not to mention that Play Store doesn't sell devices on my country, but i still wanted a Nexus device for the updates and the optimized software, so this was my only option. Im coming from a AT&T SG2. Great device but not a Nexus.

Giving away gnex

Hey guys.
Recently my beloved nexus' radios decided to quit working. I've tried everything to get them back but the harsh reality is that they just don't work anymore. I made a thread in the Q&A section to no avail.
Decided to go with the GS4 so I have an unused somewhat defective, and clearly used phone that is just sitting on my desk. When I went from my incredible to the gnex, I gave my incredible to one of the awesome devs that made that phone so much better. I'm thinking of doing it again because you guys are so great.
So if you are a dev, contact me and I'll so my best to give it to someone who can truly use it. Whether it be for parts or as a test flashing device, etc.
I can ship the phone free of charge through amazon since I work there so there really is no hassle involved.
Just to be clear, the radios (as far as I can tell) don't work, the charging port is a bit loose and sometimes hard to charge, and there are a few scratches on the screen and around the bezel. Other than that everything works. So perfect for a test device for your future roms.
I really want someone to USE the device and not just turn around and sell it, although I would be none the wiser. So let me know if you NEED it.
Thank you to this community (most of you ) and to all the hard working developers that got me thru the last few years. It's been fun.

I also have an extended battery that I can give to someone as well.
And this is a Verizon model, if that matters.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app

Well I have one already.
Although, it's the sprint variant.
You see, I don't make that much money, and I got this for christmas, sure it's great, but since it's limited to CDMA, I cannot be flexible with it at all.
It really does suck, I've been wanting to sell it and replace it with a GSM Galaxy Nexus, but no one will buy it, everyone already moved on to wanting the galaxy S4 or something similar.
So I definitely don't NEED it, but it would save me some money with me being able to change to Straight talk.
About the broken radios, I can try and repair it, buy a new charging port, buy a new antenna, etc etc, it'd be a fun project. I've already started some development for myself for the toroplus, and the GSM Galaxy nexus would allow me to fully mess with a semi working Ubuntu Touch OS.
And, if it wasn't given to me, which it probably won't, I actually have a cheap 12 dollar otterbox like case for the GSM Galaxy Nexus, I messed up on the order and got that instead of one for my model.

Friend of mine really wants to start developing for phones. And I told him a nexus phone would be the best. But he doesn't really have the money to buy one and neither do I. So he could really use it and he did some development for his old tablet and as far as I can see he's quite good at it. So I think he would be a real good person to have here on the forums.

It would help if you already had a thread in the developers section.
Like I said, I don't want to give this to someone just to have them sell it so the only insurance I have is making sure you are already a developer of some sort.
