Anyone here thinking of selling there Galaxy and Getting the Nexus? I'm debating it but the internal only memory is a real dissaponitment especially since I bought a 32 gb sd card with my Galaxy
Opnion on the Nexus 4? To get or not?

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.

I'm seriously considering moving over if the Nexus 4 is big hit because the lack of updates is really pissing me off. I was going to originally move over to the Note II but it's too expensive right now, so I rather see what Nexus 4 has to offer.

The note 2 is expensive sadly...but I will upgrade from my Note.
The nexus 4 is extremely lacking in the looks department. The front is a spitting image of the galaxy nexus...and the back? Blah.
HTC would make a killer nexus in the looks dept. Hands down the best looking android phones.

Lack of updates? Samsung isn't going to push JB before their first JB phone (note2) just came out... or nobody would buy the new phone...
thats just smart business.

Yeah but HTC is no longer dev friendly... and the build quality of their last couple of Tmo devices has been junk. Just my opinion (and I was a huge HTC fanboy - nexus one, mt4g, amaze, and one s). Amaze and One S were junk by my standards

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

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

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.

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.

I would like to know where everyone is going when their contract ends. Dev community is a deal breaker for me. Im pushing towards the note (phantomhacker, venom),but optimus g has serious potential.
Sent from my SPH-D710
I'm getting the Note but not for any reason other than I prefer Samsung to LG
plus LeBron James has it
<< mindless consumer >>
My contract doesn't end for a while but I wouldn't get either. I'm holding out till next year. I want to get a phone that will support 800mhz LTE and 1900mhz, possible the 2500,2600 band as well. With some newer battery technology.
I buy most my phones off contract used once they drop in value anyways. I'll probably end up getting what ever good deal is around by then.
Note 2 > LG OG. I just upgraded to the sgs3 til next month when I get my note 2. My dad bought the note and gave me his sgs3 which was only ~2 months old so I'm not complaining free phone and still have my upgrade on dec1 to use on the note 2. The note is definitely worth the upgrade its one badass device, has ridiculous battery life with the 3100mah and no lag even when multitasking in the dual pane mode.

私は神の罰です。
I still can't believe I'm saying this, but I reallllly like the optimus G. Ever since our store got our stock in I can't put the demo down. The screen and processor alone are what's winning me over.
LG kind of won me over in a small way recently, and that's because our LG viper got it's ICS upgrade shortly before the Optimus launch, and in the process, brought it's UI up to match the Optimus and Mach exactly. That shows me motivation and I like it.
But the end I'm being held back for two reasons: it's already behind on software; this typically isn't a problem for me but it is in this case because of the 2nd reason: the boot loader is locked. If there won't be any official unlock, or if devs unlock it but it's piece-mealed together, I'm not going to get it. It's one of the many reasons why I've stuck with Samsung, not having to go through all the BS with boot loaders and such.

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).

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.

Depending on provider be careful which S4 you get.... I have the Verizon S4 and the latest OTA has the device locked down like fort Knox.
No custom roms or root at the moment. I would say the Moto X (which I also have) is very similar to your gnex.
You may want to hold out and see what drops in the coming months.

If the next Nexus doesn't come to big red, I'm going for the Note 3. I love my Gnex and I love the nexus community, but it's starting to get long in the tooth.
Will be a great hand-me-down to my girlfriend, though! Her LG Lucid makes me throw up in my mouth when I use it.
My Galaxy Nexus died, so I opted for the S4 Google Play Edition. It's as close as you can get to a Nexus phone that has a removable battery and microSD card slot. I'm really pleased with the choice. I am keeping it stock, though I've rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, and installed CWM recovery.
If I were in your position, I'd probably wait to see what the Nexus 5 looks like before buying a new phone. But if you want to act now, the S4 GPE is a great phone.
