Idk man I ask myself this everyday lol I don't want to sell or trade my s2 in fear that I'll regret it later. I'm just going to try to save up for one haha

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.

I just realized it only costs $349. So tempted.

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.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

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.

Oh why the F not. Made my purchase.

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.
Pleasure to meet you all, in advance.

Hey, nice to "meet" you. ;]

May the force be with you.

i gotta say, it's my first android phone and i'm loving it. I had no idea how flexible android OS can be with all those custom roms and apps for customization... Also, Nexus has a beautiful and elegant design. I have nothing to complain. Almost all bugs i've ran into i have found a workaround.

Feeling like iam in a wolves den.Dont bite me.Iam thinking of a change myself.From an SE Xperia Arc to .......?The one phone that's been on my mind is Sammys Galaxy Note and now the latest version which is due for release soon,probably in 2 months time.So which would you recommend?

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.

So I went off the deep in I let my wife use the Inc2. She traded it for a iPhone. So I was stuck using my BOLD. Well it made its way into the toilet. I then got a IPhone. Today I traded my IPhone 4 8gb for a mint condition Galaxy Nexus.
Haven't quite gotten use to the size yet. Haven't even got it rooted yet.

Possible official jellybeans in your E4GT's future?

Disclaimer:this is coming from an employee at a smallish Sprint store, so please know that it's far from confirmed.
So yesterday I was at the Sprint store upgrading to the S3, and I was asking about the S3's JB update. After he told me that it's for sure coming soon(non help on when), and while he was porting my sister's number to my E4GT, he started to tell me that the E4GT would be getting JB, and that Samsung had told their store this information. The lady at the counter next to his had agreed with that he had just told me. I was given no time frame either, just that the device will be getting it.

I was kinda thinking that. The same guy and lady both said that Sprint would not be getting the Note 2, when they've personally announced that they are and even had a hands-on with the Sprint device in new york. I would make a way better Sprint employee that that guy. But I'm only 16, so that's a no for two years for me.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

I hope it happens, but Sprint is probably telling them that to make sure the S2's keep selling

When JB arrive to Epic Touch, i think all of us will be in the galaxy 3 or note 2 forum postin LOL
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

It's coming for the E4GT, all the rumors from reliable sources point to it.
Your backup source should be the fact that the phone just started rolling out for Virgin and Boost.
(Meaning they're not going to EOS it anytime soon.)

...And if you assume they are right you're also the fool. Hopefully lesson learned next time
Seriously, it's a point of competition against Apple. You'll probably see even longer support as they get closer to a standard build for most phones; one of the biggest reasons for delays on our device is the fact that more changes are needed.

This thread lost all credibility in the first paragraph. S2 to s3 really? What's the point it's the same phone. Go return and wait for the new nexus or note 2. No reason to blow a 2 yr upgrade on a same generation phone.

I for one think it is a completely different phone. It has a whole different feel from the S2, it's faster and lighter, bigger screen, that physical home button. My sister had me use her upgrade on the first to buy a new phone anyways so she would get my S2. So I still have my own upgrade to use, which probably will go towards the Note 2. On AT&T. I'll be switching once my contract is up in December.

Always remember this. Unless that Sprint employee also follows the XDA forums, you probably know more about what's going to happen than he or she does.
That said, I do think this phone will see official JB.

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?

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

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

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.
Jason

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.
