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.

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

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.

LG sucks, the G2x is proof.

Should I get Galaxy Nexus or wait for the next Nexus smartphone

I have Nexus S and software speaking GNex and NS are almost the same, ignoring the few advantages GNex has because of the hardware.
My sister got Galaxy S3 few days ago and now I want a new phone as well lol. Since I'm gonna dump a $***load of money, and I much more prefer Nexus dev phone rather than TouchWiz or anything manufacturer related, should I wait for the next quad core (and better camera, since that 2 things are bugging me about GNex) or buy this one.
I know how having a Nexus rocks, all the roms, tweaks, ports available for my Nexus S are just awesome, so I can imagine what to expect for this one or the future one!
I'm asking this because you guys have it and know it.
I almost ended up buying Note but stores jacked the price here, so no... currently GNex HSPA+ is around 300€ - 350€ here, unlocked. Thanks!

Well if you can wait til Q4 I'd say wait for the next nexus, especially if you're signing a contract.

People need to stop obsessing over quad cores especially when the newer dual cores are on par with them.
Because I can, and I was bored.

Just get the Nexus. Then get the Nexus tablet when it gets out. :-D It's a great phone, why wait?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I guess that's the cool thing about a Nexus phone, even when the next one comes out, this one will still be relevant.
It's not like the jump from dual core to quad will be as significant IMO as single to dual.
Such as the GNex can and will leave the N1 and Nexus S in the dust in the following years, the next Nexus will take much longer to leave the GNex in the dust.
Clearly under par GPU on nexus ...wait for the next one and hope its better! Then buy it
Note that the price of the new Nexus could be twice as much compared to the current price of Galaxy Nexus.
But if money is not a problem, buy this, then buy the next Nexus when it comes out
Just wait it out. As good as the GN is, it's not that big of a jump from your current phone.

Should i trade it?

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.
Sent from my SGH-T999
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

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.

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.

HTC trade up price for GNex

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Smh...regardless I can get $250-$300 on Craigslist.. I know I know ..duh. But not everyone will know that.
Why would HTC pay you market value for a phone when they make phones? The guy on craigslist who would buy your phone doesnt have millions of phones at their disposal.
With that in mind, its a generous offer.

This would be worthwhile for someone who doesn't want to deal with people on craigslist. I can see why some would not. I don't have time to answer 50 emails all asking if I'll take $150 for my immaculate-condition phone that is worth much more.
Luckily I can ask my wife to handle it usually but not everyone can.

CDMA phones for you. Lose value so much quicker. My GSM was $175 offered from HTC.
That is a solid price. GSM won't fetch much more than $200 since you can get a new one for $350

[Q] Best Verizon option for Nexus lover

I have a GSM G-Nex and love it, as well as my $30 T-Mobile plan. Unfortunately for some weird family plan related reasons I may grudgingly go Verizon. The only phone I have had my eye on as of late is the Nexus 4, but that is not an option. What is a good alternative? I like big screens, and up to date software, and I usually flash custom ROMs from this wonderful site anyway. (only running stock right now because 4.2 is really nice, great on my battery).
Gnex, gs3, or wait a week and check out the new HTC coming out.

Droid DNA, GS3, & Note 2 seem cool. Verizon G-Nex could probably be had for very cheap though. I hope I can just adjust their family plan and not have to join. I went prepaid because I had to, but now I really really don't want to go back to contract/locked-phone land!
I like the Note 2, if the bootloader gets unlocked I think I will be jumping on that one.
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised to see the Nexus 4 eventually hit VZW, but who knows.
Ended up putting off switching until my GNex died a violent death. The Moto X has been a worthy successor thus far, 3 days in.
