im a girl that wanted a android phone so bad especially nexus s but this guy review have changed my mind : what u guys think about this ? is there alot of farts apps on market?
here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CZGX5dzcR4
please share if its true what he said cause i need a phone real bad.
being a girl means nothing. this video looks blah, 7 minutes; wont even bother watching this video.
https://market.android.com/ look for yourself. anybody can put a youtube video of their opinions.
if YOU like the nexus s, just get it.. you don't need any of our approvals to get the phone.
i personally like it and so do many of the users here with the exception of the j0hnz troll and some other guys.
if you end up NOT liking the phone, just return it.... its not that complicated.
Just go with your gut feeling. Don't second guess yourself. If you've shown this much interest into the nexus s, then give it a try. Like zephik said, you could always return it. Everyone has their own opinion. Let us know yours.

The guy in the video is ingrained/invested in iOS. He's used to it. If you've got $$$ invested in iOS apps like I bet he does, I'd probably stick with it too...just like I'm much more likely to stick with Android.
Nexus s is way better than iphone period.
My friends are really jealous about my Nexus s and call it "super iphone" lol.
no additional charge for tethering is a huge plus as well.
Get Nexus S. or wait for galaxy s 2
ya thanks guys ill do that. i have played with nexus s and love the speed and i already have the 3 cases for nexus s but not the phone yet as soon its released april 28th to rogers ill get it
uh this guy is complaining about updates with the nexus s and the iOS app store has SOOOO may crap apps it is crazy. Just go test them both out.

thank you for pointing that out. its funny how she assumes because she is a girl, it will make her special or something. and she keeps pointing it out in every post she makes. kinda sad. lets just hope that people arent posting replies for the sole reason that she is a girl . because thats worse
Ok? I never said im special. Reason I say im a girl so that people can say is nexus s easy or hard to use for girls I have used iphone and don't like it.

We know that you never said that you're special. Humans can imply things without saying them. We at XDA don't condone any prejudice towards any cultures, ethnicities or genders.
I don't see why being a girl would affect a person's ability to use a device. If anything, it should relate towards your personality (a person who isn't tech savvy vs. a person who is)
I just recently got the Nexus S here in Vancouver as well(when it released on April 7th. with the other carriers, and it has only been an awesome experience thus far. I watched the video you posted up until the guy said how he used androids in the past and stuff about how software is not updated. This guy is blowing crap out of his ass, cause he ain't got a clue. Nexus S is pure android and gets updates straight from google, and doesn't go through any manufacturers or carriers. If this guy doesn't even know that then you can pretty much take the rest of his video as a joke cause he clearly hasn't done his research.
As for the girl comment, I agree with Zephik, it really depends on whether or not you're tech savy. And even if you're not that tech savy I'd say Android is user friendly enough out of the box that you'll be fine.

ummmmmmm....don't mean to be rude but nexus s is not a sports where there will be difference between boy and girl. you just discriminated yourself for being a girl by asking if it's easy for girls. is there such thing that is easy for guys but not for girls?
p.s. i'm a dude btw =)
This guy is an idiot. Go to best buy: Try a Nexus S; Try an iPhone 4. If you don't like the Nexus S, buy an iPhone 4. If you don't like the iPhone 4, buy a Nexus S. These decisions are not that hard, regardless if you're a girl or not.
IMO, the Nexus S is a great device, although I am starting to grow weary of it, and have been more curiously looking into the G2x and the Galaxy S II. So, now I would say, if you have ruled out the iPhone 4 as a contender, then decide between the Nexus S, G2x, and the Galaxy S II, and at this point, if it were my decision, I would go with a G2x. If you can wait a few months, go with the Galaxy S II, or wait; I'm sure there will be something new unveiled soon enough. Google apps are amazing, market apps are starting to improve, and once again, this guy is an idiot.
I'll sell you my Nexus S if you want. For a super price. Hahah
sofia-captivate, iPhone is limited gadget. Apple placed users in a certain scope. Android not limited, everything is in your hands.
Android - this's a freedom everywhere & everytime.
iPhone - many problems for your freedom)

The only accurate thing he said was that the Samsung Vibrant didn't get updates, which is a fault of Samsung and/or the carrier modified firmware. The Nexus S is a pure Google device and does not rely on manufacturers or carriers to play with the firmware - all updates to Android are released and made available to all Nexus users.
This guy is a bit weird too...he's almost whispering, moves his eyes/head and hands about as though he's had a few drinks, and goes on too much about how great iOS is over Android. A comparison is fair, his video is heavily biased toward Apple.
Also the Nexus S is a lot better than the Vibrant with better hardware and clean software, so comparing it to a Nexus S is like comparing a Chevy to a BMW. I'm very happy with the Nexus S.
when she mention being a girl, may be she's not a tech savy or she thinks she has small hand for the actual phone, either way the NS is a great phone, used the galaxy S i9000 before, even after rooting it, it slows down very often, all the manufacture crap inside is a bad thing, NS is pure google, NS is fast, theres no competition.
In an attempt to increase my total amount of postings so I can again ask questions and make comments in a developer thread, I took it upon myself to do some community service/ light reading in this general thread thereby building karma and posting some willy-nilly comments here and there.
I then did notice something disturbing ... there is quite a bit of hate out there towards your previous cell phones. Plenty of stories of numerous Captivate warranty exchanges, defective iPhone devices, disappointed Atrix customers who purchased a very gender confused Smartphone computer thingy. All of these comments are generally followed by rather harsh comments to the effect of "can't wait to smash it against the wall, tear it apart, take a hammer to it, etc. etc."
Your old Smartphones really did mean well. Sure it dropped a call here or there, deleted an app, screen stopped working, sent that text to your g.f instead of the flirty co-worker .... whatever what have you. Can you honestly say that you have been a 100% showing up to work every day this past year? Really? Never hungover?
My point in this lengthy rant is that as proud as I am to be a part of what I consider to be the best smartphone that money can currently buy ... in America ... on a carrier I can actually get service from ... please don't be cruel to your displaced retiring smartphone. Instead, explore the forms and really MOD the begezzes (sp) out of it. Consider using it for such things as an angry birds device ... a rainy day phone ... donate to such causes as Cell Phones for Soldiers, shelters for battered women, hell the salvation army (remember to get a receipt ... a donation such is this can be written off a tax return at FULL DEVICE PRICE [No Commitment]- the estimated depreciation based upon length of use ...
Inspire owners Save the Smartphones!!!
Yes we tend to forget the good times we had with our old device. We try to convince everyone that our current choice is faster, sexier, unlockederer, and butterier than any other phone in the galaxy in an effort to build our post-purchase device esteem. Your suggestions are duly noted and I will stop trolling and gloating in the backflip forum.

The captivate makes an excellent remote control for your roku/dlna/wmc devices. Load it with music and movies for on the go streaming as well....at least it won't feel abandoned from leaving it in a desk drawer collecting dust bunnies.

'now that's an addiction'
Random guy: 'I seent em'
'you ever suck d*$k for some marijuana'
I used to have a low end LG Ally on Verizon when i came out about a year ago. Was my first smart phone/android phone. I could never hate that phone. Despite it being low end at the time i wasn't educated on android and it was free. (I'm cheap and couldn't pass up free. "
That phone helped me understand/learn android. It has an almost complete vannilla android. On the outside atleast. The "inside" LG found ways to make the devs go crazy .
But using the Ally for almost a year taught me how/what rooting is, what recoveries, backups, roms, kernels, etc are. Also taught me the almighty adb and new found love for linux and a new found dislike for windows
But i had to leave verizon and the Ally due to some life issues at the time. Had to come to at&t and knew i wanted to experience a "high end" android phone. Dual core and all that hype wasn't important to me so the Atrix was out of the question. I read to many horror stories about the Captivate. Then i came accross the Inspire. It seemed like the perfect fit. Was pretty much what i was looking for in specs and price wise. Win win situation for me. Absolutely love this phone. I can go on and on about it but i wont.
I "recycled" my iphones to my children, as the schools around here are starting to require smart devices in middle-school and I didn't feel like paying for them to "rent" one from the schools. I like the iphone, but the limitations make it a really "dumb" smart phone in comparison to my android.
I still love my Captivate... but when there are better option like the Inspire, will not think twice to jump ship.

I am curious what they could be requiring a smartphone for? At my kids school if they are caught with their phone out during school hours they take them and the third time it is for the balance of the school year or serve in school suspension in exchange for the phone.
I have to say this is the first rant that I loved lol I actually liked my captivate and had a lot of fun with it. There are two captivates still in my house that I play with. I'm just a tech junkie and have to have, or at least try to have lol , the latest out there. I love the Inspire and yes it blows away my Captivates, imo at least. But honestly I really have never complained about my phones. Tech imo is just like that. Next month there will be something that makes inspire owners say that this phone sucks compared to , insert phone name here lol.
Awesome rant my friend

And another time, when I told my classmate I didn't have an iphone, she said "oh you got a Droid."
and I just didn't say anything cause I didn't wanna sound like a nerd explaining Droid and Android
My old vibrant was mistaken as an iphone as well as my G2x. It's funny how little the general public knows about phones. When people ask if it is an iphone, I just laugh and say, dear GOD NO. You couldn't give me one of those pieces of crap. I like to customize, play with overclocking, and a bunch of other features the iphone won't let you do.

It's pretty understandable between a vibrant and iPhone 3g/s because they look so damn similar
don't blame the poor people, blame the TV news. If apple launches a piece of brick you can be sure there will be on every news channel and the radio.
Just wait and see when the first ifhone comes out with dual core, they are going to announce it like the most amazing thing ever. Even though there are dual core phones long time ago.
So basically for the general public the only smartphone that exist is the Ifone. That's why if they see it is a touch screen, then it must be an Ifhone

It is actually very good marketing and PR for Verizon to tag the "Droid" to Android. It reminds me of when Apple first released iPods and everyone was referring to all MP3 players as iPods....very smart on Apple's part.

That's pretty interesting, I had no idea! I always thought it was something Verizon came up with for their phones.
I cannot tell you how much it bothers me when people call my phone a Droid, the way I see it, if they're just gonna make incorrect assumptions then they deserve my 3 minute rant on the difference between android devices ^_^
wow finally people complaining about stuff that Ive *****ed about for so long. Its funny because people look at like I'm strange when I correct them by saying No its "android"
Its bothersome that everyone calls them droids... but I guess its the same with zamboni's you wouldnt know it but not all of the ice resurfacers are called zamboni's.
Is it a vacuum or a hoover, an adjustable wrench or a crescent, a toilet or a crapper, a microcomputer or a pc...ad nauseum?
Get over it - it's a "droid".

I could see you saying that out loud!!!!!
The droid stuff doesn't irk me as much as my eagerness to correct them does. Droid is a cool nickname for a phone, why should I care?
It is far worse for someone to think your phone is an iphone, which has happened to me also. It's one of the reasons I was contemplating switching to the sensation.
I cant understand why they come on here or every youtube video about the Sensation and post how their Sgs2 is better?! like who cares!?! We like a phone that isnt made out of plastic!!
Does it make them feel better about their purchase when they post stupid stuff..
Why do BMW, M-B, and Audi owners compare their cars? Both HTC and Samsung positioned the Sensation and the SGS2 as their "flagships" giving everyone the right to be critical. If you look at the SGS2 board, all's not perfect. I think everyone's just curious to see how the Sensation compares to both HTC's hype and other recently launched high-end phones.
in short yes... they are in every thread praising the almighty sgs2... but anyway this thread is irrelevant and should be deleted
Two awesome phones being released at the same time makes people in the market to buy consider both phones. When you do that, you consider all the specs to what you desire.
Both phones are great. The problem is once people decide which phone they prefer, they defend why they believe one phone is better than the other. It sparks debate, then at some point it gets childish when people start calling names, defending a manufacturer or condescend others for wanting one phone over the other.
Not to mention, once you shell out any amount of $$$ for something you have to justify it. If someone is saying it's not worth it, that may spark a bit of emotion if you like said product.
To me, it's more damaging than it does good. Everyone needs to agree to disagree or just be content with their purchases. If there are benefits of one phone over the other, then fine. Share information and let everyone decide what they want on their own. No need to call people "trolls" or "fanboys" because they prefer one device over the other. It's silly.

Respectfully, you can just say all Samsung guys come over posting that the GSII is better, because it's there are a fair share of HTC sensation users that do the same, simply because of what the below/above/PREVIOUS post said. Generally (from what I've seen on other forums) ONCE you get the device, whether it be Sensation or the GSII, you tend to lay off the forums because you "contempt" with whichever phone you went for, because they're both beauties.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they put the Sensation down because they're trying to validate the purchase of the SG2. You have to admit, flaunting around your product, saying it's better, makes it seem better.
Who cares, Sammy just pist off htc release Sensation at the Same time as SGII. That's how bussiness is. Competitions..... Isn't great for us consumers? Plus im not dumb enough paying 750-800 for that plastic crap. Sensation 500 full retail and tons loads of dev.

This -well-analyzed- behavior is called "Cognitive Dissonance" , and yes, it makes them feel better, even superior to do so. =D
so long, waiting for the sensation to come out unbranded on the market in germany.
Sgs 2 owner here, but loved my htc hero before this. Was checking out the sensation and evo 3d before I went for the sgs 2.
I liked all these phones equally, there really is not much between them that it really matters.
but sgs was released just as my upgrade come up.
Still very interested in the sensation and how people are finding it, so is why i come to this forum.
personally I believe I would of been just as happy with the sensation. looks a fantastic device that will be even nicer with a few patches/upgrades.
The SII is a much better offering but it still has huge, glaring weaknesses in my eyes. The cheap plastic casing is a turn off, I don't like the buttons or the hardware design whatsoever (I detest it so much I wouldn't even use a free SII) and the UI looks absolutely horrible. And those are mostly just the cosmetic flaws.
It does some things right but at the end of the day, if I somehow acquired that phone I'd sell it in favor of getting another dual core like the HTC Sensation or Evo 3D.
Lol another fanboy thread. I see plenty of HTC fanboys in the Samsung forum. Starting a whole thread about this as well? We all know the mods don't care either, or are in with the game. Sorry that the Sensation isn't getting the type of buzz that the GS2 is and this forum is way smaller, so people have nothing better to do than speculate and start ****. Dogs pushed into a corner will bark louder. Would be nice if all the fanboys just choked each other to death, but then again it is a HUMAN flaw.

Interesting. So, I would think Sensation users don't care/compare Samsung or other products. That would be my question to the OP and other users.
EDIT: Why do you (OP) care about what others do? This is a forum, people will post and visit anywhere they like. If you don't understand this very simple logic, you better not use internet.

Who cares, Sammy just pist off htc release Sensation at the Same time as SGII. That's how bussiness is. Competitions..... Isn't great for us consumers? Plus im not dumb enough paying 750-800 for that plastic crap. Sensation 500 full retail and tons loads of dev.

Enjoy your locked bootloader
Nah just kidding, both phones are class, just my personal preference is the GS2.
Wish the GS2 was made out of the same premium materials that the Sensation is made out of though

Don't we all!
Personally I spent about 3 weeks deciding between the SGS2 and the Sensation, both are obviously great products.
I must have read every review and comparison on the net.
In the end I chose the Sensation because I prefer the solid feel, HTC Sense, and I'll take resolution above screen brightness and vibrancy, but these are all matters of personal choice and I can understand why others would choose differently.
Each to their own and enjoy your phone whichever one you bought.
The SGS II fans are hoping more hackers get one so they'll get more support .
They also hope someone will port Sense 3.0 to the SGS II, but that's not going to happen .

This goes against the objective of the thread. It's blasphemous to think about other products as per OP. You are not allowed to compare other products.
[/s off now]
What I am more worried about is why so less posts/threads about the product. The GS2 forum was filled with comments, complaints, discussion and the internet was filled with topics/reviews/analysis. Sensation on the opposite seems so quite. Everyone wants to know about the phone and I can't wait to read more.

Competition? More choices? Great.
Killer? Destroyer? Noo... Sounds like that author already made up his mind without considering that these companies can just continue pushing each other.
Yeah, pretty sure the author who wrote that was an idiot. I don't see how this could be anything but good. The same way that the Kindle Fire pushed Google to release the Nexus 7, I can only see this causing other manufacturers to come out with even better and more competitively priced smartphones.
And I don't take anybody seriously who uses the term "iPhone killer". It is the most annoying and ridiculous term to have come from the smartphone craze. There is this one foreign guy on FB who keeps posting on one of the Android pages asking about which phone is an iPhone killer, all the damn time. "Is this phone iPhone killer?"... "is that phone iPhone killer?"... Seriously, STFU with your stupid iPhone killer drivel, you look stupid as hell when you say it. I really want to kick that guy in the balls.
I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the OP.
First of all, like @_MetalHead_ has pointed out, what does this have to do with the One X directly? Answer: Not enough to post it in the HOX forum.
Second, the phrase "destroy Android"? The Amazon phone will probably be running Android so I don't know how that would work, since Amazon has an App Store of their own for Android Apps. Even the article the OP links to states what this phone will target: Low-end price point, Brick-n-Mortar stores, and manufacturers. Not software.
I see the OP is doing nothing more than attempting to generate baseless, superficial panic. Yellow Journalism.
probably gonna be along the same lines and the facebook phone and the firefox phone. Even the revamped MeeGo project. Sure they will have their share of competition with android and will have their own little cult followings, but I don't think that there will be anything in the near future that will gain significant ground on Android.
Wasn't that the Firefox phone ur talking about?
