[Q] Who will go to bestbuy to get NS on Thursday?

I don't mind I go there then to see is it available because I have class in the afternoon.
Hopefully the store (either Bay Parkway, Brooklyn or 23rd Street, Manhattan) will let me to mess around the phone before buying it instead of returning it later.
I'll pay in full ($530 + tax) because I have "unlocked phone plan" (EM+).

i'll go pick one up @ the soho bestbuy w/o contract on thursday morning before i go to work

I want to get it too unlocked.. but I want yo know if the community will be large like nexuss one or evo

I will be at BestBuy an hour before they open to beat that one other person that may be there, but yup ill get one

Hope you guys will release the system dump

I'll stop by a BestBuy on thursday to look at the Nexus S for sure.
Got a Nexus One atm so its not an emergency to upgrade.

Ill be buying one only cuz i lost my N1 recently due to being extremly drunk. but have to wait for AT&t/Rogers one if it ever comes out.
waiting paitianly with my HTC Dream.
if i have to wait much longer with this slow ass device i might have to shoot myself.

I will be buying it on day one

i'll be on vacation, but i look forward to seeing all you guys talk about it. (^_^)

I'm going to dive in. The N1 is getting retired from daily use.

I told myself that i would never ever get rid of my N1 but honestly with the market for N1's as it is right now It be stupid not to sell, i got a good price for it
And its better to get rid of it now while the market is high and the next installment is on its way
Who else sold there baby to get the NS?

I will be selling my vibrant for the nexus S not much of an upgrade, but I really like the slight hardware design change and the software (pure android, + ext4fs)
Sent from my Android phone.

I'm selling my Nexus 1 to get the S.
I work Thursday at 10am so hopefully I can snag a Nexus S before work.

I will hit the Best Buy at 86th st in Manhattan and pick mine up on Thursday, probably right when they open.

I'm selling my HTC Desire and yes I will be there on day 1.

I have a Best Buy right across the street from work.
I'll be there when they open.

Star date, 12/16 2010. 8am, you know where to find me.

You won't wait for an AT&T variant?
I want to get it on day one, but with my Nexus One I learned my lesson the hard way. Hopefully Samsung hid the AT&T 3G bands on the chip like they did with the T-Mobile Vibrant.

I'll be at the local Best Buy at 8am to pick up two Nexus S'eses.
"Give me six Schlitzeses"

I may get it, but wanna wait a few days for the real reviews.

Galaxy s 4g

So I have a nexus right now and been yearning for something new for a fee months. I am on t mobile and eligible for a new phone. I actually want a dual core phone but I'm feeling so impatient. And if this phone is coming out now I doubt t mobile will release something better for atleast a few more months after that. So I would be able to get it for 150 on contract. I might be able to sell my nexus for like 250 so I wont be spending any money on that upgrade. Now, my other option is getting an atrix unlocked for full retail price of 500 and use it on t mobile. I don't want to leave to t mobile I like it for some reason. Even though I could get 15 percent off any carrier. But that aside what do you guys think. Because another option also is then sell the s 4g and buy the next good phone falt out and I might end up just paying a difference of 200 or something.

I would wait for galaxy s 2. My N1 can wait another 6 month. I am sure it will be by mid summers.

I can't wait that long damn. I'm desperate already.

Same here, I really want to get another phone on T-Mobile. Personally, I'm not a fan of Samsung, if I had to get one, I'd get the Nexus S (at least the software is managed by Google). Try flashing a custom ROM or something if you haven't already to breath some new life into your phone. I think I'd be worth the wait for something like the LG Optimus 2x/3D or the HTC Pyramid.

Yea I rooted my phone first week I got it. But its been a year already. I would like the optimus but didn't it come out in Europe like a month ago?

Samsung phones look like they were bought from the dollar-store ... just get an HTC/LG

The Galaxy S2 comes out in Europe in February/March. IMO the Atrix will be better, but meh. The LG Optimus 2X also looks very good.

i'm actually sort of in the same boat. i broke my n1 a month ago, and wasnt planning on getting anything new til the optimus or the pyramid.
but now i'm tired of using my HD2 with android, and wanting to get something immediately. cant decide between g2/myt4g or the 4gvibrant. i'm sort of leaning towards the vibrant but the lack of a trackpad or flash is the only thing that is making me hesitate.
i'm also definitely buying the pyramid whenever it comes out, this phone would essentially just be tiding me over till then.

I was in the same boat as well. I wanted to wait for the dual cores before buying a brand new phone so I decided to look for an HD2 to put Android on. It took about two weeks of Craigslist hunting before I got a good deal on one(190 with all the original access. including 16gb sd). I'm running a gingerbread rom on this thing and love it plus it will be pretty easy to get my money back for it in a couple months when the new phones start to hit.

Wait for next generation of nexus...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Dam I think I should wait a little more. The s4g is such a small update that I would be wasting my eligibility for something like it. And hd2? Naw I put android on it for my gf and I much rather have my nexie.

Should I...?

I got my Infuse from Costco about 5 days ago as an upgrade....I went online to the att website and saw I was still elegible for an upgrade....My question is should i be a dirtbag and get another Infuse to donate to a dev or do you think they might catch me?

I would give it another week and see if it still says that. AT&T system takes forever to update.

funny... i just checked, and i have the option to upgrade too. Im going to call in just to verify on that.

I am off contract
So i am off contract...
what sinister plan is AT&T planning to do with me...

Upcomming list of AT&T phones.
i shall start to scratch off phones, first down Nokia X7

The only phone on that list that I may consider is HTC Holiday. If I were you I'd hold on to the upgrade slot until iPhone 5 (or whatever it will be called) comes out then try to snag one on the first day, then do a quick flip on eBay. If played right you should have enough money to pay full price for one of those Androids and have a couple of Benjamins left over.

Sounds like a plan. i think i might just go ahead and do that.
but if i like the iPhone 5 i might keep it or sell it then go buy one via replacement price. all planned out lol

Who is getting your old phone?

Poll
MOM .. Dad.... Wife... Husband,.....Brother... Craigslist.... trashcan

I'm keeping my old phone as a dev phone. I'm turning Android App Dev so I want something I can have at my computer testing a whole bunch of stuff without causing harm to my actual phone.
It (Being my Samsung Captivate) would also be a great wifi player if I just put the phone in Airplane mode.

eBay's getting mine.

Im posted my GS2 on craigs..but if thats not sold fast enough its going to my sister for cheap.

My phones stay in mint condition and i either sell them for close to retail value or my wife gets it.
Best way to get the wifey approval is to give her my phone, which is usually one of the newest. Now I always have the newest phones without having to sell the idea or get my ass kicked lol

Keeping mine as a back up wouldn't get enough for my little aria even though it's running cm9 which some older higher end phones don't have yet

YEAHHHH Go Aria!!!
Mine is going to be a GPS and backup

Craigslist, guy bought it for his wife. Everything was still in bags and the phone was perfect, she'll think it's new. haha

ebay for sure. should get around $150 for my infuse, and thatll cover the cost of my one X

If I decide to get the One X I will either sell my iPhone 4 on Craigslist or trade it in for credit at Amazon.

+1 My Sensation along with the case, back covers, batteries and box will all be hitting eBay in one big sale. Now to convince people some dust under the screen and a broken headphone jack aren't a big deal...

probably selling my sprint iphone 4s on ebay, or craigslist not sure..

Ebay
Ebay is gonna get my old iPhone 4. Average sale of iPhone 4 is ~$275 and One X is $149 + $36 activation fee, so I end up making money on the device itself! (excluding the subsidized contract :/ )

i sold my captivate a long time ago lol was using dads backup blackberry. so buying the phone is gonna hit my account 150 bucks hard

Craigslist
Im going to sell my 16GB iPhone 4 on Craigslist for $215

I'm amazed at the number of people that are coming from iPhones to the hox makes me think it's really a kick ass phone because most of the people I know who have iPhones swear by them. Glad to see so many converting to the Droid side

[Q] Anyone else angry about the M9 already on it's way?

I, for one, am pissed. I just got into another 2 year deal to get this phone and they are talking about it's replacement already. They should have made it known, so people could decide themselves if they want to wait.

I'm not sure where you've been but in today's smartphone market, flagship devices are lucky to last 4-6 months before they are dated. The 2 year plan is not feasible for keeping the latest smartphone.

Transparency is all I'm asking. If the phone is coming out in 2-3 months, then they already are past the planning stage and may already be in the manufacturing stage. Either way, I think it would be decent of them to layout the long term. Don't know where you are but in America these phones are expensive and tied to expensive carriers, So I would like to know all my options if the ,manufacturer already knows they're putting them out.

If that's true I'm not really mad. The way I see it is that with such a short time between releases the M9 will be only a slight improvement at most.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app

Where are you seeing information about the M9?

I don't think they need to disclose anything... There will always be a newer phone around the corner.
You know that without them announcing anything... And if you are on a 2 year contract, what is the difference if a new one comes out 6 months later, or a year later. Changes nothing.
And if you are going to play the waiting game for the next 'big thing' you'll always be waiting, as there is always a next big thing coming...

The only thing I have read about an "M9" is that they are cancelling the M8 Prime to focus on the M9 which will be released in Q1 2015......... right on schedule.
So enjoy your M8......... I know i am.

If you wait for the M9 you might as well wait for the M10. You'll only have the latest and greatest for a month or two with all the flagship phones available.

I believe I'm in the Verizon forum and if so they have the Next program. If u got it when this phone came out they had a special which basically every month what Next costs you is credited back to you so you have the Next program free! New phone can come out tomorrow for all I care and I can trade my phone in for it with $0 out of pocket. A beautiful thing for the OCD people that want the latest and greatest . Those not interested there is the standard 2yr contract plan for phones. Easy two choices so choose wisely . Don't blame the cellphone company for your choices on how u will upgrade. They have to keep up with the times to stay in business, the user doesn't have to, it's a choice.

Buy a phone on contract, root it (if possible) keep it in mint condition. If one day it becomes un rootable sell it as mint rooted and dance in the profit. Buy new phone off contract. Rinse. Repeat.

True but unless u find a real dummy ur never gonna get back what u paid. Still going to pay at least $100 out of pocket after selling 8-14 month old device. How much does an HTC One X+ go for today compare to when it came out? Example
I'd rather pay $0 out of pocket and upgrade when I want to and still pay only $160/month for two lines with 10gb of shared data. Just need to turn s on, unroot, fix tampered banner, flash stock Rom and return device. No one knows the better .

True true. The example I use for my case though would have to be the note 2. Once that got locked up on an OTA it started selling like hot cakes. 100-150$ for a new phone is perfectly acceptable for me though. I am losing some money but the enjoyment from the phone is worth it :good:

The day you buy a phone is the day it's old. These guys have at least two models when they release the "current"phone. They pay for the new phones research costs.

I did this to get the DNA, SG3, SG4, M7, bought M8 on contract, still have mint M7 and mint M8 and those will be sold to fund next flagship device of my choosing to buy off contract until I have my contract ready, or a new phone is out.
Personally, for me. I think I might deviate away from the HTC One series devices unless they make some serious design changes which I do not see. I don't truly have a need for the boomsound speakers and would give those up for a regular phone speaker and a smaller phone overall. (Just imagine the M8 without the top and bottom speakers, jeez, or even without the wasted htc logo bar) - sorry for off topic.

Dude, this is HTC WAY OF OPERATING. more than the others. I know, I was a huge HTC fanboy. I bought the Sensation, then 3 months in they announce Amaze...bought the One X only to hear DNA. I THINK THEY DEVELOP TWO at a time. I left for LG with the Nexus 4 then the G2, but get this, while waiting for the G3 I bought the M8 cause I couldn't wait any longer.
I'm big enough to say NO MATTER WHAT A COMPANY DOES WITH RELEASES I'M GONNA *****....I have a problem

I don't get it man. There are talks about the m9 but that doesn't mean that it's going to be released soon. The earliest would be around January. Talks are just talks and they're more than likely leaks.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

Does the M9 you speak of make your current phone any less usable? I dont understand this way of thinking. You could wait for this new phone but then again you might as well just keep waiting from now on because there's always something better down the line. Enjoy what you have.

Samsung, HTC, and Apple all release one phone a year in its line (ex Galaxy S). So the M9 in Q1 of 2015 is right on schedule. You're mad about that? I bet the iPhone 7 will be out summer 2015... Doesn't mean people won't buy the 6 this summer.

Not mad at all. Such is life in this fast-paced world of technology.

the only thing i am angry about is the stupid black htc bar what a waste of real estate. I do witsh his thing had a 5.3 inch screen. then it would be perfect. its super fast no lag and it looks cool. o ya and it has s-off
