It's not your dream phone!

It's the one after that!
....Because you'll have to buy a phone to use while you wait for it to come out.
See what I did there? Release the phone already Verizon. You're starting to look like the makers of Duke Nukem Forever.

Lol, that's exactly what I did! My contract with att is up so I got a dinc. If the tbolt gets pushed past 3-11 ill be stuck with it. (Which isn't so bad.)

Maybe that's why they wait to release, so that people can't back out of their other phones, and then VZW won't be stuck with all these 25-day-old phones that they now have to sell as a 'certified pre-owned' phone and lose money on it...
it's just strategically planned so that people are talking about it, spreading hype, and then the larger price tag seems worth it.

From what I hear, the Iphone4 for Verizon went on sale on Feb 10th... and they don't want those customers backing out to get the Thunderbolt.

To be honest I love my inc the only reason I am dying to get a thunderbolt is the lte lol. But like I said I love my inc and couldn't be happier. I'm a latest and greatest... may be a downfall one of these days haha.

[REQUESTS] Canadian-Market Nexus S in hand, who wants what?

I've got the canadian market RETAIL nexus S in hand ATM moment, North american 3g, working GPS even without WiFi assistance... All the good stuff.
So, who wants what files and where do you want them?
I'm sure galaxy S i9k owners are going to go nuts for this stuff.

Wow so Telus is actually getting the Nexus S? I thought it was all rumors lol... this will make my friend very happy.

Sorry whats wrong with the atrix? The screen is one thing. It's better for text, worse for solid colors, but seriously, the atrix, trash? No.
It's going to be a universal launch. Unlocked, all carriers, One price.
Koodo on tab, Virgin available for super tab, 3 yrs for all others, or straight up around 550.
It's pretty neat, but no superphone.

Did you try one? I actually picked one up from Bell on release day and used it for a week to see if I would make the switch. The result was a resounding no... it's just sluggish and choppy because of Motoblur. It's a typical case of good hardware, terrible software and execution. I could give you a detailed review of the shortcomings but that's not really the scope of this thread so... yay nexus =)

How long will NS Last?

Its on Gingerbread and im sure it will get Ice Cream or whatever, will it get the one after that though? And what about even after that!
I just want a phone that can last me a long time (at least 2 years)
NS has everything I want and need, as long it has the latest updates im good, and I dont like to root and rom and stuff, I just want all stock stuff.

With the speed technology moves two years is probably about right for the life of a new phone. It will probably be dropped by Google long before it's discarded by the devs though.
My question would be whether the hardware will last the two years.

Doubt it. They'd drop support for the Nexus One before NS.
the nexus series last longer than regular android phones. So you shouldn't be too Worried.

Today's phones are like computers. It'll last as long as it does what you want it to do. Once you feel that your phone no longer can do what you want it to do, then thats when it has become personally obsolete and time to replace. Generally I would replace my phone every year, because it seems a new phone would release with a new feature that I would want to make my everyday communication needs much more efficient.

totally agreed, I find myself struggling with the iOS/Droid battle, but i usually try to stick with a phone for at least a quarter. i have problems

i think the nexus s will be supported, after all, the nexus one came out with eclair and got both froyo and gingerbread. im just trying to decide which phone to get, an epic or a nexus S 4g.

Probably quite a while.
I would assume the Ice Cream update would be the biggest leap so far, especially if its going to bring Honeycomb features to phones. (ie hardware acceleration, holograpic UI etc.)
And the Nexus One/S would probably the only phones to get the update for a while.
You should be worried when they stop support for the Nexus One first.

thats a minimum of a year away, IF the FCC even allows it. I would doubt they would do that to t-mobile users..........

Not to mention it would be a material breach of contract and allow millions out of a contract. Wouldn't be a very smart move IMO.

Hmm I've noticed that the Dev section isn't as booming as I thought it would be considering this is a Nexus phone. I'd assume that that's because the phone was only released on T-Mobile (and some other places in UK) until very recently?
Will the dev section pick up once the AT&T, Sprint and the Canadian carriers pick it up, or did people just decide to skip over the Nexus S for some reason? I'll assume it's the former.

The only real reason I have not is because of money. Those phones ain't cheap, and unless I have a real need for that phone (which I don't), its not really worth it to me to spend it. Also, my contract is up on father's day, so I will probably get a nice upgrade for cheap then. I can wait.

My upgrade is around the same time. If the GS III launch is anything like the GS II, it'll hit the states months after the rest of the world. I may buy a Galaxy Note and flash the radio that works with T-Mobile to tide me over until the GS III or something else comes along. Then I will have two awesome phones.

In the history of VM there has been 1 update. 1 and only 1. To a outdated phone to an outdated os... So I personally can live with having a phone have 0 updates or go to it's end of life... There is always dev support.
Also people complaining of lack of dev support... There are lots of devs here compared to a lot of other phones...

[Q] Way to Delay Upgrade?

Hello everyone, I'm a longtime Sprint user, and am looking forward to my switch to Verizon very soon! I currently own an EVO 4G LTE, and am taking a look at what phones I should get when I switch companies. The best available phone right now appears to undoubtedly be the SIII.
I have heard that there are some pretty awesome phones on the horizon, and I would love to get them (HTC's apparent phablet, Razr Maxx HD, etc.). However, I really don't think I can wait until November because I can't possibly tolerate Sprint anymore and their ridiculous lack of coverage in my area (they told me the towers are being upgraded for the past 7 months).
So my question is this: is there any way to delay my upgraded phone price so that I can use it once these newer phones are released? In other words, can I use another phone or do something else in order to not use that contract upgrade until November, even if I sign up for their service this week? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you would just go get the SIII if you were in my position, that's useful input too. I love the phone, I just feel like it will be "dated" in a month. Seems like the worst possible time to buy... I'm in a pickle.
Thoughts?

I don't know the answer to your question but I just switched to Verizon from sprint and got the S3. Waiting on it in the mail now. I don't think u can do what u want but im not sure. Hopefully someone can answer it for sure

Go to the galaxy nexus forum and look at the threads that say prepaid service guides or something similar. One of them says "rule your plan with..." they all talk about the best prepaid plans for the money.
Here is one of the more popular ones http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1455014
Obviously you don't have to do it with a nexus, you can use one of the prepaid ****ty phones. They just talk about the plans there. When I read it a long time ago most of them involved getting the prepaid phone and then switching out the sim card so you could just chill with the original phone until something interesting comes out on Verizon.

Only difference would be pre-paid may be cheaper, if I'm reading your message correctly.
Also, thanks for the quick replies everyone! I look forward to joining this community soon. Looks like I'll be getting an SIII this week. If it was just me, I'd employ one of these ideas you guys gave me. But since my wife is included... I'm gonna go the simple route and get the SIII, which was equivalent to my current phone anyway (EVO 4G LTE). Seems like it has the dev support to last the two years like my old EVO 4G did (it can run JB now - amazing). Plus the extra RAM future proofs it a bit. I don't game, so I don't need quad core I doubt. The S4 chip is a beast anywho.
Thanks again guys! See you in the forums soon!
Oh one last quick question: any issues I'll have rooting and unlocking this phone? I've only owned HTC and been with Sprint, so I'm unsure of how to do all of this. I hear Verizon is not very friendly about unlocking phones.

The bootloader can be unlocked easily, obtaining root is a simple one-click affair, and VZW has never been friendly about anything but your open wallet. Congrats on the new phone and carrier switch.

Okay that sounds good, thank you!
I was concerned mostly because with my phone, only the non-updated ones can be rooted and unlocked right now. Since I had mine since launch day, my original bootloader was able to be hacked and exploited. New phones bought today have different bootloaders that have patched the explored holes. HTC can be evil that way. I know Samsung is more dev friendly, but I wanted to make sure there were no stipulations like with my phone where I would be screwed if I bought a new one now.

If you are going to wait 3 weeks you might as well wait for the note 2. Just my two cents.

Plus I'm not sure a phone that large is for me. I'm getting the Note 10.1 soon, so do I need a phone that's a tablet too? I'm not sure. Plus I won't pay over 200 for a phone. I'm guessing the Note 2 will go for 300 or more.
