Should i trade it? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

a guy is offering me a galaxy nexus GSM plus a Nexus 7 8GB for my Tmobile galaxy s3 32GB . What are your thoughts on this should i do it? I dont have a tablet and i like the stock google but the new galaxy nexus is coming out soon. What do you guys think?

Would you rather a phone or a phone and tablet? That's your answer.

Don't do it man. LOL. I had the nexus prior to me getting the S3 and I love the S3 soooooo much more. The Nexus isnt a bad phone by any means, but speaking from somebody that had both, I think it's a step backwards. You can always flash a JB rom on the S3 and get your pure google fix. I had a chance to mess around with the Nexus 7 and I must say it is a pretty nice tablet. But overall IMO I think S3 wins hands down.

It comes with 3 batteries and 7 screen protectors and they both have cases idk I really want that tablet but if I won't be able to sell it for a good price

I would hold off and see what the next nexus brings to the table. That is my game plan... However it is going to be tuff I am quite fond of the s3

so no? im just tempted because of the nexus 7

Why are you listening to people on the internet? Do YOU want a phone that runs AOSP JB and will get the next android version before all of the others AND a tablet, or do you want a slightly better phone that may or may not see the next version of android and no tablet?

defently a tablet and a phone. What would you choose to do?

I would do it. At worse you can resell the tablet and the phone. I have both and they are great.

Yeah you aren't the first person to tell me that haha And yeah I guess you could say I won it in a contest

Good luck and hope he doesn't scam you.
At worse if you're not satisfied you can always sell both and buy another s3 lol probably make some money as well.

The S3 off contract goes for less than 500 on Craigslist.
Sounds like a pretty fair trade to me.

i bougt my s3 for 460 hes gonna give me 40 seems good to me as long as he doesnt scam me which will be pretty hard to do

Be hard to passs on a vanilla Android with the fastest updates and a full fledge tablet. I'd say go for it as well.
And I just bought my S3.

Anyone getting a nexus 7 to go along with their Galaxy nexus?

Am highly considering getting a Nexus 7 to go along with my GSM galaxy nexus. the attractive price point, Specs, and size are what make me want the device. Have a OG transformer that ill give to my little sis with a keyboard and i replace that with this. Anyone have any objections to getting this bad boy? Only gripe i have is that it only goes up to 16GB! That and after using it for a while, my Gnex might feel small to me.
I think I'm gonna bite the bullet and order one $200 seems like a pretty awesome deal

just did for the 16 gb model.
Yup, ordered the Nexus 7 16 GB. I was planning on getting a Motorola Xoom (Currys were selling them for £130 but it turned out they were just lying about having them) so this seems a good substitute.
I'll be getting one. Have an A100 at the moment as I prefer the 7" tablet size but there is no dev scene on that thing and what can beat the dev scene of a nexus device?
Yep. Probably gonna get the 16 gig one in maybe month or so.

I am toying with the idea but I just sold my CM9'd touchpad due to lack of use because my GNex is serving me so well. Perhaps as a hack toy but that's why I bought the Touchpad.
Every nerd needs a hack toy...
Don't see the point, for me.
I have the iPad 3 and a Galaxy Nexus, and both are serving me good for what they do. The Nexus 7 just seems to be a Galaxy Nexus with a faster CPU and a bigger screen... It doesn't replace my iPad and doesn't do more than my Galaxy Nexus.
I am still not sold with the phone interface on 7" tablet.
And 16GB is too small ... without Micro SD card for tablet.
Looks like a nice bit of kit, but'll stick to my Xoom
I'm more anxious about getting jellybean on it than my nexus for the vsync
ordered it yesterday... 16g

Well after honestly thinking about it, i'm going to cancel my order in the morning. I seriously thought about it and i came to the conclusion that me having a gnex will ruin my experience. Honestly it will literally be our phone which is 16gb without any removable storage with a 7inch screen and some better specs running Jellybean that looks like it's in phone mode.. unless there are some features or value that i'm not seeing, pre-order remorse got the better of me.
I am, I am tired of my a500. Wi-Fi sucks and a teen inch tablet is not as comfortable as seven inch is

Definitely £150 is a no brainier. I'll probably give it to my girlfriend to use and continue using my HP Touchpad but that plan will probably change when I get my hands on it :-D
How's the procedure with Europe, it's cool that u guys from the states are able to get it from the playstore, but what about us guys in EU? Are there any news about that?

What carrier does your Nexus S work with? If it will access T-Mobile's 3g network, I'd be interested in it...

I was thinking about waiting for the new nexus but decided to order a galaxy nexus this weekend. Even if they announce a new phone tonight it will probably be a few months before you will be able to get your hands on one. The only thing that will bum me out is if they drop the price on the play store again soon.
I just got mine and I love it to death. By far the best phone I have ever owned. And!! I haven't even rooted it yet cause I'm lazy! Or! Its because my computer is at the pawn shop!

It works on T-Mobile. Just like how the iPhone from AT&T works T-Mobile.
Same with the GNex.

How about now guys? My evo 3d is getting so old and acts up from time to time. I found one on craigslist for 200 bucks. I'm stuck on Sprint for the next few months so the Nexus 4 is a no go ....
I'm so tempted.

I would say yes. It's the newest nexus phone that sprint offers, since no nexus 4 :banghead:, and it's a great phone. Development is still going, and the 4.2.2 update will be coming to sprint sometime relatively soon.

At this time, I don't think so. Just get a Nexus 4 unlocked from google. The specs are so good, and so cheap, that it's a no brainer in my opinion.

My Galaxy Nexus is on the way!

My Samsung Galaxy Nexus is on the way!
I can't wait, since this will be my first smart phone. Although I have had Android tablets for a couple of years and I have a Nexus 7 16GB (which I love) I have always had a simple phone (w/camera)
Since I enjoy the NEXUS experience, I wanted my first smart phone to be a Nexus.
I am new to this forum (but not to the XDA Forums) and I look forward to posting/commenting here too.
Thanks
you'd want your money back if you see the nexus 4... twice the power of a galaxy nexus. 8 mp camera.... starting to sell 13 nov...................
and the price: 350$ for 16gb / 300$ for 8 gb................
Uhh. What.

Thanks everyone for "Raining on my parade".
I need to stay on Verizon. Because If i change/drop my phone from Verizon, our family plan loses it's UNLIMITED.
Plus I would NEVER buy an 8GB only phone. (WTF were they thinking about that?)
It comes in 8 and 16gb variations.

Yep... I am looking forward to it. I've played with it at Verizon and I really like the NO overlay and straight Google experience.
Thanks Guys.
Remember to turn off sync and LTE when not using it, it sucks battery like no body's business, unless you're OK with 2h+ screen time.
Will the next nexus have a longer screen?
bad choice. the gnex specs are really dated. id rather get a s3 or one x and flash a vanilla rom

Not for the same price. And S3 or One X will not receive 4.2 at the same time (including proprietary binaries). They'll receive a port eventually but by the time I already digged 4.2 completely :laugh:
Yea I'm a Nexus *****.
Btw Congrats OP, you'll not regret.

GNex is a great choice... $50 vs $200 for practically the same thing. A slightly bigger screen, 2GB of RAM (which is totally unnecessary), Dual-Core (since it's from Verizon)... To me, GNex is the best deal on the market (or so it was, until the Nexus 4 came out - but lets not talk about that).
@OP
You made a fantastic choice. I love my GNex, like I said before. Trust me, your going to love it and have loads of fun toying around with it. First thing I did was Unlock the bootloader and start flashing. xD Not to mention your guaranteed future updates since it's a "Nexus" device.
Enjoy your work of art.

Is Gnex still a good phone ?

Well, forget about ota updates, the question you should be asking is " how long do you think gnex will have aosp support?"
At least 2 or 3 major versions, but don't take my word for it.

Had the Galaxy s3(i9300), traded for a Galaxy Nexus and I think this phone is Excellent and have potential!
I very recently upgraded from a HD2 to a Gnex. It feels like the very best thing I've done for a while! The Antutu scores are more than double also every JB rom I've tried runs fluid on this phone.
I did consider the Nexus 4 but to me the option of changing to a bigger extended 3500mah battery is important to me, so I got the Gnex. I use my phone as a GPS on my vehicle and my work involves me being away from a power source and just generally putting a lot of use on my phone.
If Nexus4 didn't have a sealed battery I would of bought it in a heartbeat.
in my country there is no playstore (portugal) and the nexus 4 will come out for 400-450 probably so i think the price of gnex is quite good
It's good. But nexus 4 will be better. Also i think that my gnex is lack of juice
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
in my honest opinion get the nexus 4 if possible but if not get the galaxy nexus , once you use a nexus you can't really look at other phones the same , S3 ,one x and all those phones are great but my friend's s3 seems so much laggier compared to my nexus which is a lot cheaper ,oh and the nexus gives insane bang for the buck but the if have a rather lackluster camera though =(

Sell or Keep My Nexus

SOLD
Im going to upgrade to a nexus 4 next week, i have a galaxy nexus that's in like new condition. I would like to keep it as a backup, but i feel that it would be a waste to have it just stashed away as a backup phone. What do you guys think? i looked on ebay and they seem to selling for around $200.

should definitely keep it as a back up you know just in case and plus in the future you might want to use it to try out Ubuntu phone OS, at least that's what i would do

Now that the whole Ubuntu thing is out finally for gnex an is just a non functioning demo I guess its safe to ditch the gnex as that was the only reason ppl held back on upgrading an getting a new phone or the fact their gnex wasn't that old, my iPhone 5 jailbroken with evasi0n on iOS 6.1.2 will get me by till the 2013 nexus arrives.

I personally would sell it, to have a little extra money, but that's me.
In an ideal world, I'd keep it around as a toy, or perhaps to use as a media player. Hell, you could even use MHL with it to output it to your TV as a sort of wireless streaming media player.
