Opinion

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

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."

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 or Galaxy S III?

Hi, I want to buy a new phone and I'm choosing between the Galaxy Nexus and S III. Which one do you recommend? I like how the Nexus looks, and getting updates first. I like the specs in the S III but I'm not a big fan of how it looks and I definitely don't like the TouchWiz UI. Where I live there is not much difference in price. What would you recommend? Thanks in advance!

What carrier?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

S3 then sell it and buy a nexus and profit (if you are going on contract) i actually had achance to test the s3 and on 4.0.4 it seemed pretty descent ... you could go with the s3 for sure either phone will get huge amount of support and i guess s3 is more future proof on specs so up to you

If on Verizon get the Gnex. If on any other carrier the S3.

Unlocked phones. Where I live carriers do not sell locked phones.

Well only one has the new Jelly Bean.....

That was my reasoning. By the time the s3 gets jelly bean Google will have a new nexus device out with an update. If I was Verizon I would not be happy with googles timing of jellybeans release. Especially with them collaborating on the nexus

Get sgs3 since it is better hardware than nexus. You can change the software but not hardware.
Flash CM10 on sgs3 and you should be good.
I have a galaxy nexus because I bought the unlocked gsm for $350 which is a good deal and use it as a secondary phone

absolutely nothing is stable like stock, especially on phones which don't come with aosp natively ( i.e everything except nexus).

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.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda app-developers app

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.

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
