I came from the Hero running 2.3 to the nexus myself. I can't get over the difference. It's amazing how easy it to read thing on the screen, how much bridget everything looks. Just the over-all better-ness of the phone. Do it, you won't regret it.

The evo hasalot of Dev support. But its aging hardware will be hurtfull for you after a year. Get the nexus just better over all and of coarse its a Google phone so no waiting for a port you get it first

Can't the same be said for the Nexus; hell a new nexus has already been announced. I am not partial to either one as I have access to both; simply playing devils advocate.

But the evo hardware is going to be far slower in a year than nexus hardware. The Hummingbird processor we've seen in the SGS family is by far better than what the evo is sporting.
I don't have a single concern about my Nexus S (or Epic) not being adequate in a year or two.... I have used an evo now and I already feel that it's a slow clumsy device shoe-horned into a large enclosure to attract the "hummer crowd" ... bigger is better, am i right?
I just got rid of my epic for the ns4g (cracked screen on epic). My fiancée has the EVO and I have to say its a night and day comparison. Battery on the nexus is much better. Everything is smoother, and of course the display is 100x better. The EVO is a nice phone, but hardware wise its a bit out of date.

True but right now a evo will get screwed playing angry birds with ad's with kernels and cm7. Its a nice phone but getting one now would not be a wise descion with this in the same line up

Ty everyone, the nexus being a Google phone is the big selling point to me, I do like the size of the ebo, my dad has one, but it can get a little laggy sometimes, I still have almost a year to upgrade. But the nex will still be my first choice. Unless the nrxt one comes to sprint, and has ics and dual core p:

So I put my phone on craigslist for 200 today and got plenty of offers, but now I'm not sure if I want to sell it. Is there any phone out there with buying, I was thinking the HTC one from t mobile or the nexus. Just can't seem to par with my phone.

well if your buying from craigslist, most phones out now for the price of 200-300 are identical. same proccessors etc. The sensation/amaze are identical. Just amaze has better build quality and camera. It just depends in what u like

I've read a lot of good things about the Mytouch 4g's, those could be worth looking into if you're just looking for a change.
I picked up my G2x from craigslist so I could replace the POS that was the mytouch slide 3g. So far I've been more than happy with the G2x and all the ROM's currently available for it. Personally I'll be hanging onto the G2x until either the Galaxy SIII or G4x comes out.
The sensation is also a good phone. Used to have it. I would go back if I coould. Really great phone

I'd say go with the Galaxy Nexus, the screen and Pure Google, plus the relatively cheap, no contract price made me bite the bullet.
About once per day or two there is an SGS2 for sale on Craigslist for $300 or $320. They go quick though, I've missed out on 2 of them so far. Not a bad upgrade for $100 out of pocket if you can get $200 for your G2X.
heck i got 2 g2x phones that i dont use anymore. 1 is still stock and the other is rooted w/ weapon 3.0... make me an offer.
I just went from the G2x to the galaxy s2 titanium and its pretty awesome. No more random shutdowns and supposedly it is getting a legit ICS update on the 14th
I decided to keep it, I guess I got lucky with mine because I never get random freezes or reboots..

You should sell it and upgrade to the Sensation. Tons of dev support, better processor, bigger screen, fully functional ICS. Or like another person said, shell out a bit more for a GNex. It would certainly be a smart move to head to a better phone while yours still has value.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
you cant go wrong with the galaxy nexus as it has a ton of developer support right now, as it is pure google and running the latest software natively.
with that being said, the htc sensation also has tremendous dev support with many different kinds of roms and kernels optimized for it.
i would also suggest the one s by htc, since it is a quality phone with high-end hardware and shouldnt be too hard to mod once it gains some steam.
I really wouldn't fork out the money for the Galaxy Nexus. I would prefer the S2 over the galaxy nexus with 16GB internal AND you can use an SD card. GNex you're stuck at 16. I would definitely recommend the Sensation or Amaze 4G build quality is amazing and dev support will certainly be there.
I'm looking to get an S2, Amaze or Sensation depending on how much funds I have.
You can get an sensation forb230-300. Amaze and s2 for 300-400

Sensation...upgrade? Please child. Anywho I would go for either sII nexus maybe even the one s(as long as it doesn't use nvidia chip)
I was considering the Sensation at one point, but I kept hearing things plaguing the device like a touchscreen that stops working.
Can't have a phone that doesn't work.
the sensation is an AMAZING device.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
Sensation is great but it's really not a huge step up over the G2X. If you want a real step up you will want the SII or GNex or Amaze4G....I would pass on the One S unless you really want the camera.
Sup guys..im an evo owner now. But im thinkin bout buyin a g2x and switching to straight talk.
Whats you guys opinion on the g2x?
Whats great and wrong with the phone?

What u heard is wrong. The phone is good. For me, only thing it lacks is a fully stable ics rom. The phone is fast. And battery is above decent on high use. I'm at like 15 hours and 6%

It's a amazing phone. Ics is nearly there. I recommend it. Dual core is very nice.
My touch can be iffy at times, but I enjoy it regardless
Overheating is something you've gotta watch especially with hdmi plugged in
Overall 8/10
Recommendation: yes
Development:7/10

MIUI is alright but not fully functional and has its quirks, I;d suggest staying away from it and stick to a CM7 base to get the best out of the G2X.

Really..wut doesnt work??
All ive run is MIUI for 6 months. Dont know if i could go back to CM7
main thing for me is WiFi calling, Cm7 is just 10X more stable, I like the swipe notifications from cm7, camera is more stable on cm7. It is actually supported by people and has Dev support, not knocking on syngh or the galnet or scotland builders, but it has too many flaws. I haven't run it over 3ish months for more then 2 hours (about 1 month ago, and it was just to wonky for me.) It's been too long for me to list the issues I noticed, but the UI is amazing I wish it was fully supported for us, or if a phone could be purchased on contract with MIUI pre-built then I'd jump on it lol.
This phone has excellent development and good hardware. I also hear good things about the new stock baseband/software but haven't tried it yet. It's a great phone if you like to flash ROMs. The physical build quality is also much better than other phones, I just got an SGS2 and the G2X seems much more solid.
Love this phone but if u can get a newer phone go for one those instead of this.
If money really isn't an issue and your renewing your contract wait for the Samsung galaxy 3

No im goin prepaid..gonna go on straight talk or tmobile prepaid or tmobile value plan
I really have no urge to upgrade. I love my evo with miui and if i get another phone ill just put miui on it again so the only upgrade would be smoother and better camera. Cause the software is gonna be the same.
Wish i could put my evo on one of the above but i cant ;(
Its a good fun really fun to trick out yea the overheating is the only problem runs good overall

OK just because wifi calling doesn't work doesn't mean to "stay away from it".
Just say you don't like miui at all, there's plenty of ports/miui to play with go for it

It's a great phone, as long as you don't expect much support from LG, a little more from T-Mobile, and the rest of your support is here.
If it were me, I'd go to a better phone.
if you get it at the right place I say get it
honestly you can prob get a g2x for around 200 which is a great price, a GS2 is probably 300 and sensation 250-275 I dont think decking out that extra money would be worth it
I agree. Since the phones hardware are identical. The g2x is a great phone to use still

I'm thinking about getting a new phone soon... I wanted to pick up the HTC One X but reading about so many faulty devices over on the forums I'm kinda hesitant now. Still wondering whether or not I should make the plunge; on the other hand the 4S looks pretty interesting as well so that's also an option. So does the Xperia Arc S.
I need to get the phone before Julyish since I'm going overseas to study.
I don't see the newer phones (even One X, Galaxy S3) being much better than the G2x already. Sure they have ICS, but all the apps I run are fine on GB. Plus the extra cost to upgrade vs the ~$200 out-of-contract price of G2x on $30/mo plan doesn't justify it.
With all pricing aside, what's in ur opinion the best phone on the market right now?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
I wana trade my g2x for a nexus s. Or sell and buy a sensation. Won't get a new phone cuz its first new Gen phone. So wait for the better improvement phones

S3 only thing that catches my eye now, waiting until the next nexus line looks, and if LG follows through ill upgrade and sell the phone, if not then I'll keep it is a backup and put the mt3g in my antique case with my g1
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Galaxy Note for T-Mobile, Galaxy S 3 for T-Mobile, Nexus Tablet.
That is what catches my eyes but in reality, my G2X will do just well for like 4 years more just as my Etched Nexus one does. My G1 is just too slow now.
Sensation rocks because the developer support is unparalleled. But the S3 is fantastic,and if you want a big screen the Note is excellent. And the One X, while it does have a few kinks in terms ram management, its arguably the best phone out there. Tried it in the store and it is unreal fast

Screw the carriers and their neutered phones. Sgs3 is getting a dual core across the board in the US. From now on, I'm only buying direct from Google and the carriers can take their contracts and shove them... if you know what I mean. I'm waiting for the next nexus, which should be available to buy by Thanksgiving.

I was going to get the s3 untill they took the quad core out of it.
I didn't really want to wait for the next big device to come out, so I just got a Galaxy Nexus. I really couldn't be happier. I still have my G2x to test some ROMs on and as to use as a backup phone.

.....Iphone
Look at the post for the s3 in the general section, and then look at the comparison for the new krait CPU that will be in the sgs3, yes it is a bummer that its only a dual core but how much utilization will a quad be used? With the research I've done I'm more then happy with what the stateside sgs3 has to offer just have to decide other things my previous post stated.
And don't worry my mt3g isn't going anywhere like my g1 its safe and sound lol.

I will definitely wait until November for the new Nexus or Nexi, (hopefully the rumors are true and 5 are launched).
Hopefully no knew phones come out at all, that way I don't feel like I'm behind, and I'm very competitive and I always want the best and the greatest.

If I stick with android I won't buy another non Nexus phone. If the manufacture updates the phone any it won't be updated for long and in most cases 3 months later there will be a slightly refreshed version that comes along and goodbye support for the phone you got. I had a Samsung Vibrant well you know that support died when the Galaxy S 4G came out You all know the support on the G2X and I also have a mytouch 4G which is running 2.3.4 just like my G2X which I also don't see it getting updated either to ICS.
As long as I know the phone will have xda support and Dec community support from the manufacturer I'll get it. Like the sensation that thing is fully supported, the HTC Vivid that's on at&t is extremely supported, sh¡+ even the G1 is lol....

I jumped ship to the HTC One S. Besides the pentile screen it can hold its own against the One X, if not beat it at benchmarks and in my opinion just as good as anything Samsung is releasing. I love the overall build quality and feel of the One S and the 16gb storage is more than enough for me. I tried to love my G2x, I was even convinced that it was the best phone out there but the software/hardware issues finally got to me.

Yup the one X+ is the better build and ships with jb. I did the research last night for my gf who is planning on breaking from from apple in January. Only thing is that you'd have to deal with strong possibility HTC won't update as frequently as Samsung. And also the camera is better on the s3.
Google this "samsung Galaxy s3 vs HTC one x+" it should get you the reviews with enough info to consider before making a final decision
IMHO, I'd wait & see what comes out of CES and how soon. For all you know the M7 could be right around the corner, although it'd probably be $100 shy of a Macbook Air.
I'm really considering the optimus g because you can pick one up for $99 and I really like that it has the s4 pro and 2gigs of ram. Is the 1x+ worth $100 more than the lg and is the tegra 3 on the same level as the s4 pro?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
When given a choice like this always go for the non LG (sorry if that's harsh) I've had enough hands on with them to always be worried when faced with one. The biggest overall issue issue is that the support from LG and the tools provided to work with their devices are beyond frustrating and cumbersome to work with. The quality of the manufacturing makes me wonder sometimes too. The optimus g is nice looking, wicked quick, has a decent os on it and is a great device but even with just a bit of limited handling its already starting to show signs of wear on the out of the box perfect looking exterior. HTC phones are built like tanks and yep the cameras have been kickass. Sammy is always a good call lately too. My advice is if you go LG get a case and treat it like a precious jewel...you do get what you pay for ..or just go HTC or Sammy
That's just my personal opinion..but you should go hands on with all 3 and decide for youself
