So my phones been broken since August, and I have no backups. In other words, I haven't had a phone since mid-August. Anyway, I just got some money for my birthday and job. Should I wait until the Galaxy Nexus comes out for tmo in late November? If not, suggest getting any other phone?
EDIT:hmm alright. I need a phone.. Im trying not to spend the most amount of money because im going to buy the Nexus during christmas time, but can anyone steer me in the right direction in buying a used phone off craigslist? Preferably a decent one? Price Range $100-$275. I have T-mobile but any phone thats compatible whether its unlocked or not I'll be willing to get. I'm in jersey BTW, in case any of you want to give it a look.
if you read this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316800
you'll know you're in for a very long wait
but it might be worth it, depending how fan are you of stock AOS
If you have enough money to buy one unlocked for the full price, then you should hopefully have it by this month end.
If you are looking for tmo subsidized, then there is a possibility that you might have wait longer.

yea, I read through a bunch of pages in that thread. If I have to wait a week or two, I'll be fine with that... And I'm just going to root it assuming it will be possible as other Nexus phones were easily rooted..
Just not so sure if its hitting tmobile.. I dont come on here as much as I used to, but if you find ANY news having to do with tmo and the galaxy nexus or the release date, mind Pming me? thanks

yea, I think ill just be buying it full price unfortunately.
Only you can decide for yourself which phone is best and what is "worth" the wait for you.
Just do the research and decide what's good for you.
I will personally wait till prices drop at Christmas. My captivate is going super strong after installing miui. I got money, lots of it... So gonna buy unlocked! No seriously, it's because I am going out of the country mid next year for a while... Some legal issues...

Aria is old and doesn't have AWS for 3G on T-mo. G2 is good. You could always get a MyTouch 4G (not slide) or an original Galaxy S very cheaply.
Whats it matter if you're only going to use it for 1-2 months then get rid of it anyways? Get something that works and is cheap.
I'm not sure about your area, but I could find Nexus S for around $200

I can relate to you. I lost my phone (Nexus One) 2 months ago. Since then I have been using my 5 year old Samsung. It works great as a phone for calls and text msgs. That's it!!! I feel so disconnected from the world without my neXus 1. Considering GS was going to come out soon, I did not want to waste any money on an temp android phone.
If I were in your place without a phone I would get the cheapest one possible.

This is already being discussed in the other threads. That page shows the MARKETING push for after Black Friday, which is including the Galaxy Nexus.
That does not at all indicate when the phone will be sold. As you notice, the map shows the iPhone being marketed too, that doesn't mean the iPhone isn't on sale till then
I know a guy in real life, he is offering me a Galaxy Note in exchange for the Nexus and $100. I am really one the fence. I like the phone, but it might be a bit too large, would you do this deal?

Have both devices. If you can cope with the size its a great day device overall. But Nexus is a Google phone meaning you get updates faster. Note you have to wait for Samsung to release their source

So you would have to pay him $100 to get the Note? No chance. What makes the Note worth $100 more than the Nexus? Samsungs amazing TouchWiz UI or their lazy update procedure?
Phone for phone without any payment could be acceptable for someone who is ok with that.
But then I wouldn't even take the Note if he was paying me $100, so I'm biased.
Nope , don't do it ..
Now if the $100 wasn't in the picture then it would be a decision worth thinking about or if he was giving you the $100 =P
Stick with the Nexus

ive used both and i like the size of the nexus a lot better for a daily.
Wow amazing forum with lightning quick responses
Yes @ above. I would be giving him $100 and my Nexus. It's funny I even though I own the Nexus I already bought another replacement for this phone. This is why I am exploring selling/trading it.

Straight up trade or nothing and that's only if you think you could find use out of the Note. I know quite a few store owners who love it especially for their online sales as they can just take pictures of products and doodle on it and send it out to prospective customer.
My father's colleague, who's a Apple guy, switched to a Note also for simply one reason; He could have the text large enough to use it without his glasses on .
There are use cases for the Note for sure, I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it like most on here would .
On that note, I wouldn't use one personally as again, it doesn't fit my use cases.
Don't do it, especially if you like rooting and such.
Not sure Samsung ironed out the brick bug, but it's not the device to have if you want to run anything other than stock. Even doing a factory reset was bricking them. Ridiculous.
I wouldn't do it either. Just because something retails for more money doesn't mean it is actually worth more. Then Nexus is a better phone, period.
SGN is a super nice gadjet , but Nexus is the most compatible with android , if it was me , I'll *****slap him with his 100 buks and keep my phone. but this is me, maybe you have a different opinion
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
He should be paying you $100 plus the note to begin with, if you do it not only has he ended up with the better phone but he's robbed you $100 , just because the note retails for more new doesn't mean its the better device, look at the iPhone for example its inferior to the nexus but still costs more.
Keep your Nexus, it's still the backbone of Android.

When i thought to buy a new phone, the first on the line was the Note. So i went to stores do "meet" it. First look, i feel disconfortable by its size and start looking other phones, so i saw the Nexus and it was love at the first sight. When i held it in my hand, i knew that i´ll be my phone.
It fits perfectly.
Today i think that if i bought the Note i was regret. Not only because the size, but the OS updates and customizations.
Keep your Nexus and be happy for the rest of it´s days.
(sorry for the english)
Keep your Gnex and the $$$ , add 99 more and get the nexus7.
So you ll be complete

the galaxy s3 you mean I'm sure, the galaxy 3 is a budget phone..

I have both and if its the ATT version its worth it. The dev support over there isnt bad and once you get used to the size, which I did very quickly, I don't even use the nexus anymore as the screen is so much more vibrant. Just slap on an AOSP rom and it turns the note into a great phone/tablet.

In my opinion the only S3 worht having is the international version as the US versions have been nerfed as they usually are by us carriers.
As to the OP keep your Nexus, I have friends who have the Note and they love it but development on it is nonexistant in comparison to the Nexus, heck my old Vibrant has more development going on right now.
I just left my local store with my new GS3! I wanted to pass on to everyone that the tradein value that I received on my GS2 (i-777) was exactly $121, which brought the grand total of the GS3 to $89.
While I understand that I could have sold my GS2 online for more, I really didn't want to go through the hassle.
Hope this helps someone make the jump

You just threw away about $150 by not taking 5 minutes of your time to sell it on ebay. Is your time that valuable (you make $1,800/hour)?
The AVERAGE buy-it-now selling price on ebay for a used AT&T S2 is currently $263, and you could've got a bit more by throwing in your old accessories.

I got 200 for my iPhone 4 16gb at games top, that was cash as I had a promo for extra credit. I lost out on maybe 25 bucks for shipping/ eBay fees if I went that route. I avoid Craigslist as I had a lot of bad experiences selling through it.

This thread is serving no purpose, but to attract useless trolls.
Just hoping to get some thoughts for or against the note 2 in regards to the press release regarding the nexus 4 with very similar specs going to sell for $350 out of contract.
I have to say my mind was blown, to have official updates as they roll out, and being able to have a large library of roms to choose from is a major selling point for me.
Looking to possibly keep the note 2, but I really am on the edge of my seat... thoughts about nexus 4/note 2 would be greatly appreciated.
I paid the same as you and I have no regrets. The Nexus looks to be an awesome device but the Note 2 is in its own category - are you forgetting that? And do I have to remind you about our amazing 5.5" RGB screen? I repeat, no regrets! I frickin love this thing.
Great specs and price on the nexus 4. I thought it would run about $450 at least for the phone with those specs.
I haven't got my note 2 yet but I am seriously considering getting the nexus 4 instead.

It is a beautiful screen, cant deny that Im just having trouble digesting the fact I could buy both the tablet and the phone for under $700... I could even eat the $50 restocking fee and still afford both... :/
Does anyone know where the cost are going?
Are devs jumping on the Equinos bandwagon?
I am thinking about the same thing. I love the screen and size, but I am not a fan of the smooth back. It feels like I am about to drop it bc its so slippery. I feel as if I am holding a priced possession rather than a phone. I have noticed myself being extra careful bc of the back and I don't want that. I wish the back had some kind of traction for grip. I am seriously thinking about returning this and buying a Nexus 4. And don't forget we can get a Nexus 4 and a Nexus 10 for what we paid for note 2.

I personally am going to try to push the return policy till almost the last day (14 days) So I can hear some early reviews on the nexus 4. I dont mind sticking with the note 2, but the true multi-tasking feature has not even been released yet (patiently waiting for samsung to update, never done that before)..... and that was kind of a huge setback for me.

Yes, you can buy both devices for less than $700 but then of course you have two devices. If that does not matter to you, I say go for it. I sold my iPad and GS3 to downsize to a single device. So far I am loving it.
btw IF I do decide to return the note 2, I am sure as hell going to miss the pop out video player. I am in love with that.

I bought it off-contract as well, at full price, but I still think it's only 14 days.
The S-Pen should be a major factor when buying a Note 2. If you are simply using it as a phone or web browser, I think your original purchase of a Note was the problem. If you paid $700 for a product that will help you be more productive, then it's money well spent. If you paid $700 for a toy... not sure what that makes your money, just know it's not well spent.
Notes are productivity investments, tis why the Note 1 still sells for well over $500 new. If you define the word "need" for yourself, you will never have to worry. (side note, the current Nexus can't be beat when it comes to Dev support, and it's cheaper still... so there's that)
I'm actually very surprised at the high amount of people from this forum, that jumped so fast on the note 2 before Google announced what they were bringing out. ( official specs, not speculation)
The question is..... Is removable memory, bigger screen, spen, worth double, not to mention the wireless charging?
I have a g tab 2.7, and like Samsung.
I do miss the amoled screen of my N1 though.

So I ordered a Nexus 4 on launch day to find out the next day it was placed on back order for 3 weeks. I saw the samsung sale and ordered a Note 2 with 200 rebate and 20 instalment plan. Thinking about completly cancelling my pre order status on N4 since Note should arrive in three days. What do you guys think? Also this is my fith phone this year I think I have an addiction problem. Went from a S2, Att Note unclocked with unstable blaze modem, galaxy nexus and finaly to my current S3.

The only problem with the Note 2 is you will be stuck with it for a year. I probably buy 3 phones a year, because there is always something better coming out soon. But not when you own this phone. This will probably be the best phone till the Note 3 comes out.

Yeah I was contemplating real hard about selling the Note 2 and getting me a nexus but after lurking on the nexus forums and all the complaints and the lack of external storage (not to mention it maxes out on 16GB) coupled with non removable battery, it was a good thing i didn't jumped ship.

thtas what i was thinking ive been switching alllot this year cuz i allways want the latest and great but i think maybe the N2 might my device for a good year atleast which i havent keep a phone for a full year like in 3 years. Ive been checking out the N4 and have read about issues but then again a nexus is a nexus and main reason i wanted it was because it allways has the latest like my old GNexus.
Lol I was having the same thoughts untill I saw that smart dock. But than alot is missing in N4 so Note 2 is the best right now.
But I did order 2 N4s gave one to wife overseas and sold one on ebay for 549
Sent from my GT-N7100
The biggest thing about the Note 2 is it does everything that every other phone does, just at different levels. And it does more.
The Nexus 4 and even the HTC DNA do this or that better, but not everything a Note can do. Simply put, the Note 2 is a complete package.
thanks for the input guys, my intial plan before the n4 was releases or leaked was to get n2 as my main device and have a secondary back up smaller phone like a lumina 820 for when i didnt need a big phone.

thanks for the input guys, my intial plan before the n4 was releases or leaked was to get n2 as my main device and have a secondary back up smaller phone like a lumina 820 for when i didnt need a big phone. N4 made me rethink my plans. However like i said i just ordered the n2 and anxisouly awainting for it!

Until a phone comes along that can do even more then this, there's not much reason to leave the N2
noted for future reference on my Note 2
Just bought note 2. Could not dare to buy cheap quality nexus 4...didn't expect nexus 4 will have so many issues ...thank god my order for nexus 4 failed

Wow... speechless here... thanks for sharing the video... I was going for note 2 just because of removable battery and extended storage... I didn't know I'm getting more than I ask for ... I'm gonna share that video to iphone users hahahaha

The only problem with the Note 2 is you will be stuck with it for a year. I probably buy 3 phones a year, because there is always something better coming out soon. But not when you own this phone. This will probably be the best phone till the Note 3 comes out.

with Tmobile only having a $200 ETF, I don't think you have to worry too much about the contract. I got a note 2 this weekend for $50. $200 on top of that is still a $250 note 2- not bad at all.

Yeah but I dont think you can walk with just the etf on your subsidized phone.

I def concur with what you are saying.. I've got a s3 and a s2.. i haven't even touched those phones since I've had this one... the next up and coming"big thing" would have to be pretty Damn spectacular for me to deviate from what i have now.. i flashed cm10 final on my s3 it's pretty Damn good.. but I'm still giving this phone all the love... being in hospice care all I've gotta do is take out the s pen and boom instant note that i can send via email to my boss... are the pharmacy... i love this phone!!!

Hospice care - i normally associate that with only one thing?
I have the S 3 (which I may gift down to a family plan member on an Mt4G) an now the Note 2. I got it since overall it may be the best device out there - the Note pen was an extra. I would be a bit happier if its size was between where it is and the S 3 - it is a pocketful - lol.
I agree with the other poster - it also might keep me away from another new phone for an extended period..
yea that was one of the reason i was debating of geting the n2 because of size. I had the original note and it was pretty weired holding it against ur ear i wonder if the n2 is slighty better since its not as wide.
My buddy ordered n4.. imho.. sucks. Kg blew it again. Not as smooth as note2.. and definitely not as many features
