hmm why not get the Nexus 4? You can start purchase on 13th Nov.
Samsung Nexus is also super freaking cool and you will love it once you start fiddling with it. Good luck.

And for that reason you chose to buy a phone that's a year old instead? Even though the Nexus 4 is getting great reviews from the people who have used it?
Wow.
Jesus Christ guys. Its his money, if he wants to get the GN then congratulate him and move on.
Enjoy the phone man, it may be a year old but its still awesome. Hope you like it.

Geez I'm surprised to see people pushing their opinions on others. Don't listen, Gnex is a great device!

it would have been better to wait for the n4 imo.. but the gnex is a awesome phone with alot of development so i am sure you will like it
Congrats for the phone. I myself jumped to the wagon of galaxy S2 a year later when s3 was just around the corner. I didn't regret a bit. Same now with galaxy nexus.. Not regretting it a bit.. Got it a fortnight ago. The ready baked development and mature kernels trump it all. Enjoy your phone

Just to know you are not alone, I got my GNex yesterday. Upgraded from my Epic. I didn't want to leave Sprint, so no N4 for me. Decided to save my upgrade for next year and buy a used Gnex off eBay. Infinitely better than my Epic and probably good enough to last me another year.

I'd prefer this phone over the n4 personally..
ignore all the hate! welcome to the forums
While I would have waited for the N4, don't worry because the Gnex kicks serious ass anyway. A lot of Gnex owners including myself aren't upgrading because the Gnex is a beast!
I'm planning to do the same. Do you think the price will go down when the N4 is released? Really low on money but I just can't take this X2 still on Gingerbread.
Sent from my MB870 using xda app-developers app
Again, you are not alone. I also jumped on this ship. Snatched a Gnex on Ebay for US$232.00 shipped. Great deal. In my case, right now i can't afford the Nexus 4 because spending US$300.00 is out of my reach. Simple as that. And even if i could spend USD$300.00, i would still consider the Gnex over the Nexus 4 because of the storage. 8Gb is waaay to low. 16gb is already low, but i think i can make it with it, but 8gb is out of the question. Not to mention that Play Store doesn't sell devices on my country, but i still wanted a Nexus device for the updates and the optimized software, so this was my only option. Im coming from a AT&T SG2. Great device but not a Nexus.

Did you get rid of your s2 to get the Nexus? I'm kind of confused if I wanna trade my s2.first ill be losing the expansion storage. I don't know if 16gb is enough. I have a 32gb micro on my s2.also I don't know hows the Nexus works on TMO network.

Do it man. I left this phone and had it for a good 6 months. If you truly care about updates you will not regret it. The development is great and the phones is amazing. You will have all the newest updates and besides, the GS2 will not likely see JB. Nexus has slower data speeds, but not a huge difference, has a pretty decent camera, storage wise, you just need to handle memory better, people have so much crap they don't need.
In short, I am super happy I made the switch to the Nexus from this phone.

If you're gonna make the switch, do it quickly. Apple just won a ban on Galaxy Nexus sales in the US.

Everyone is jumping ship for JB. If its in perfect condition there should be someone willing to pay around $300+ for it. Im just going to wait it out and re-up when my contract is up.
I just got my t989 a week ago so its in perfect condition can probably get 300+ for it. but im going to be patient and wait. I'm not going to rush and sell this phone yet.

Purchased mine back in January off-contract, don't plan to get the GNex, if i do get a newer phone it will be the GNex's successor and ill prolly purchase one in January at the earliest.
These devices have great resale value compared to most others, at the pricetag is just too darn pretty to ignore.
After a long hard debate with myself of weather or not to get it or wait for the next one, WHY WAIT.

you are in the gnex section most ppl will be biased. i recommend waiting for aug 29 when the note 2 is released then decided
While this Nexus isn't the latest and greatest hardware wise, you can bet dollars to donuts it will be ahead on software updates even compared to yet to be released phones such as the note 2.
This phone is future proof. Only thing that would ever stand in the way of software updates is possible limitations to hardware in the extended future.
In other words Google won't forget about it unless some crazy feature comes out that this hardware won't support.
Unlike branded phones that are generally forgotten about the moment they are released.
Only way I'll replace this thing is when it's sibling is given birth to. By that I mean the Nexus 4.

It was already installed when I received the phone. I have the gsm version. If you're on Verizon, I think there is a way to get it installed. Check out the galaxy s3 forum for instructions. Just a note, I followed the instructions there before I returned the s3 and wallet never worked.

No. The G2N is big enough for all my needs. Sold the tablet and the DINC2 on ebay, got enough to pay for the G2N..
Been 2 weeks now. The SGN2 is just great. Rooted with the Jellybeans Build 16 ROM. Everything works!! Smooth, incredibly fast, great battery life even with the large screen and giant processor. 4LTE is just great! Didn't even cost me anything. Sold the DINC2 and the Iconia A500, paid for the Samsung. Verizon monthly is the same as before.
ROM development for this phone is very good because it started life as a Jellybean phone, so no porting necessary..

Why did you pick the inc over the razr? The razr just seems better in all ways.
I don't know man there was just something about it. It was extremely slippery to hold and I am not a case person. The screen scratched very easy and I carry it in my pocket. The phone would lag extremely bad and would glitch from time to time. I was always having to transfer downloads from internal to sdcard. Just wasn't my cup of tea. Honsestly I havent really ever been a moto fan.
