I don't have it yet but I'll be coming from the at&t GS2. To me dev support is extremely important. So what better phone to have than the nexus.

I currently still have the s2 as well, I kept it just incase I changed my mind, but never use it now, just love this phone!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Ditto , I kept my s2 thinking I might want to go back to it but I love the GN so have decided to sell my s2.

Both amazing devices, but the nexus is in incredible. Go nexus.

Yeh still got my gs2 but to me I brows the internet and watch videos a lot so screen Res was a major thing for me, also honestly the s2 looked a little like the ip4 also had that, would pic the gn over the ip4 and the gs2 any day, I also notice less issues on the forums with this phone with the gs2 it was full of buggs lucky I just had some battery drain but that was it. Get the gn its a great phone.

I have no regrets whatsoever getting the Nexus.
The higher screen resolution is a plus for me...as I like to pick the smallest fonts possible to put more info on screen.
The Nexus feels better in hand probably due to the slight curve in design.

K before the store opens I know you guys think I jumped the gun and made my decision on one comment but it seems likea war between s2 lovers vs prime lovers and you hear so many good answers just so hard to tell who is telling the truth or they are just making up ****. also wanna say is that Im not that good with phones meaning that I I'm not going to root or put custom roms on it also is it also true that the nexus won't sync up with computer but it syncs everything automatically to a cloud kinda like icloud if? I like how easy the s2 works please help I'm messed up
Sent from my GT-I9100M using Tapatalk

meaning is the s2 easier to use than the nexus cause I payed 600 for the s2 and only have tool pay an extra 50 to get the nexus

How is Galaxy Nexus so far?

This is my original post about how my N1 died.
Farewell to Nexus One
I am looking for new phone, and I am interested with Galaxy Nexus, as I am a Nexus fanboy.
So, how is Galaxy Nexus so far? How big the upgrade if compared to N1? I don't read any reviews about it yet, and I want to hear some small opinion or review from xda members.
Thanks a lot.

A giant upgrade!

I had the nexus one and loved it, but switching to the galaxy nexus was the best thing, don't know how I used the screen on the nexus one its tiny, plus you get faster radios, way better camera, a ffc and you can actually play games without the multi touch crapping out or being limited by the Adreno 200 GPU. And last but not least you get [email protected][email protected]!.
Get the galaxy nexus and you won't look back.

Nexus gives you wings?
.. but yeah, N1 to a GN is a HUGE upgrade. Any phone of this generation will be a huge upgrade. A caution of word though, after using Galaxy Nexus... your N1 screen will look like a joke. At least that's what GN did to me to any phone with a screen smaller than 4.5"

Hell, I went from the HTC One X to the GNex and it felt like a massive upgrade. I couldn't imagine going from N1 to GN. Do eeeet.

Get the GN and no mistake.
I'd changed my GN only with the next GN.

A big upgrade that's for sure.

Just use the open VPN for android off the market and you don't need to worry about tun. Just import your openvpn profile. Its nice app as you don't need root. It works on stock.

I actually really liked my g2x, the screen was awesome on it and it felt good in the hand. Also the tegra 2 was smokin fast, IMO was faster than my gs2. Just sucked that it had such little ram and the battery life was horrible. And the camera blew too

Dude I did the exact same change (mine was the skyrocket s2) and I was like
Makes that phone feel like a pos

I have gotten to play with all the newest fancy phones (ONE X, SGS3, etc..) , ill still take my nexus any day of the week. In fact, I would go as far as saying If I was forced to used one of the fancy new phones (that isn't a nexus), I would be extremely unhappy.
An acquaintance of mine the other day was showing me his new [whatever the newest motorola is], making sure to emphasize how much better it is than the "old" galaxy nexus. Next he asked me if I knew how to get the verizon bloat off and when he would be getting a jellybean update... I just laughed.

I paid$150 New for mine plus I get a $50 rebate, and still have the Evo 3D, I just don't use the Evo though since it has sense and since you can't remove bloat without rooting.

I probably would have kept my S2 Hercules if the call quality wasn't so crappy. that thing had some serious call echo on every ROM i tried including stock on both mine and my gf's S2 plus I think that phone was a lot of peoples first android... there was tons of noobs asking the same question 10 times on every page of every ROM thread:what: got annoying real quick lol
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Had an iPhone 4S, gave it to my gf. Had an epic before that, selling the crapwiz S2, waiting on the GNEX to come in the mail!!!!

Good on you for paying only 200, great deal for a phone which I have no complaints about beyond speaker volume. I remember being terrified in the interim waiting for shipment of my phone when I came on here and saw all the 'my screen sucks' threads. Just a question if purchasing a used Nexus, is there a quick and dirty way of determining if the secure element necessary for Google Wallet is intact?

I received mine a few days ago. I bought it off ebay for 240 bucks, it came with a nice case and is in like new condition.
This thing is amazing and coming from a Thunderbolt that I have had for well over a year now it makes me wonder what cell phones are gonna be like in 10 or 15 years. I mean the display on the Nexus is gorgeous, the screen is about the perfect size and has a fairly high resolution, the phone is pretty thin, has plenty of built in memory, the OS is intuitive and silky smooth from a performance perspective... I could go on and on but I honestly don't know how things could get that much better. Really the only thing from a hardware perspective that comes to mind is battery life. Maybe in 10 years you will be able to go a week on heavy usage without having to charge your phone.

Verdict

Hello everyone, making the switch today from my iPhone to the Galaxy Nexus and would like to ask everyone's verdict on it? Would you make that switch or hold off for the GS3? I see dev is great for this phone and I love the design. Any opinions would be great.

Keep this phone until you absolutely must switch because this phone will have Dev support til the end of time.

Best Phone I've ever had. Would wait one month if you can. Than look what the new Nexus has up. S3 I don't like for it's software. If you root it, I think it's an good alternative.

If I was you I would switch to the Nexus.
The S3 is a great phone but it is very similar to the Nexus and the Nexus is going to be cheaper. Personally I like the look of the Nexus a little better too but that's just my personal preference. Also, I would be willing to bet that the Nexus will have dev support way longer than the S3 (even though the S3 came out several moths after the Nexus).

I would either go with the gn or wait for the new one.

Are you buying the Play store version (GSM Unlocked? for $349? If so, I'd say go ahead and get it now. If you're upgrading on your phone plan then I'd wait a month to see what the next Nexus devices may bring to the table.
This phone most definitely will be getting the next android version and the dev support is fantastic. The hardware is still very very good for being nearly 1 year old now - it still competes with the currently release high-end devices.

as of today go for nexus... until s3 get JB then you can compare it and decide which one you want

You're asking this question at the wrong place. Of course everyone here's answer is going to be "Galaxy Nexus".
If you want an un-biased answer, go to a neutral forum. Or a different forum entirely, like a gaming forum or something. You may get realistic answers.
With that said, go with the Nexus. I had iPhone for 5 months. I felt like I had a phone that could only do calls and texts. Nothing like the machines that are Android.

I knew I would get an answer like that eventually. I've asked on multiple forums on multiple sites the verdict has primarily been go with the Nexus. Which I did btw, I just wanted to hear it from the horse's mouth before I did. Thank you though

Welcome! Tell all of your iPhone having friends about how awesome it is. The more people we "convert" - the less people use iPhones - and maybe apple will start actually putting useful updates in iOS instead of trying to hammer away at Android. Enjoy the Nexus man.

Haha thanks!!! I will do, we must convert!!!

are you a tinkerer? coming from an iphone, android os is going to be a challenge in and of itself. rooting and flashing roms is whole other challenge. if you are pretty set on rooting and having all the bells and whistles afforded by mods and roms, then get the galaxy nexus. the dev support is second to none. if you are wanting to just run stock, then get the S3.
i got my wife an S3. i have phone envy. the S3 is a NICE phone. let me rephrase that, the S3 is a REALLY NICE phone. she didn't want it rooted and i didn't want to have to mess w/ her phone since i rooted the her last 2 phones and it got to be a pain upkeeping her phone with latest roms and updates. the S3 stock unrooted running Nova launcher kicks all kinds of butt. yes she gives up a few perks from not being rooted, but the S3 is a perfectly fine phone stock.
since i like running stock rooted roms, i would gladly take an S3 over a galaxy nexus. screen, radio, processor and battery life are better than the nexus. nothing against the nexus. the S3 is just a better phone. and being it was release about 7 months after the nexus, i would expect no less. and hopefully the nexus to be released in 4Q will be nicer than the S3.
tl;dr version. if you are hell bent on rooting and running custom roms, get the nexus. if just running stock or even just a stock rooted rom, get the S3.

In our house we just switched from Sprint to T-Mobile. Not wanting to be trapped into another 2 year deal, we bought the GS2 (I know you said 3) and a Galaxy Nexus. The GS2 was $299 and the GN was $349, so pretty comparable. The GN is awesome, but the GS2 camera seems to be far superior, so I would guess the GS3 is equal or better. However, software wise, nothing will beat a Nexus device. You won't go wrong with either phone, but if price and software are important to you, do yourself a favor and get the Nexus. If price is no object and you don't really care about OS updates, then the GS3 might be a better route.

Gotta wait till the 29th for me to make any decisions, but I'm not gonna lie, the lack of microSD slots these days is really starting to tick me off.

yup I would do that but no sdcards slot makes me say hell no.
But hopefully they release more than 1 nexus, I would few more days.

Well, if you already have the nexus, no SD cards are something that you are uses too. That's probably one of the biggest adjustments I'd say.
Personally, I prefer SD card support.
