I'm eligible for an upgrade once again and I am torn between getting the Epic Touch this Friday or holding out for the Nexus Prime. What phone will you guys be getting as an upgrade to your Nexus S? Mostly a poll for Sprint Users
I can't believe I forgot to put Nexus Prime as an option, how do you add an answer?
If you like stock android wait for the prime. Its that simple.

iPhone if it comes out on sprint. If not the nexus prime

Def the nexus prime. Hopefully launches on sprint right away. Was like you and gonna get the epic touch 4g but think nexus prime will be badass. Especially if the rumors are half true( metal casing).

The more I look at the N9, the more this phone just makes sense.
-Constant clock, even when phone is sleeping
-Constant notifications, even when the phone is sleeping
-Double tap to wake the phone
-Edge of the screen swipe to go back to home

This should be what the Nexus Prime should strive to be. If we get someone like the N9, but with Google's flavors on it, I would be in heaven.
My next phone will be the Nexus Prime.

/me is gonna get the Prime
iPhone 5 with dual 1.5ghz running Ice Cream Sandwich.
By the time I'm ready the gs2 and prime will be out. Hopefully the prime won't be exclusive to Verizon. Or else its a gs2 for me. **** maybe even an iPhone 5 if I get a tablet before my upgrade. Can't believe I just said that. But as much as I love android and hate ios stupid iPhones just work. A tablet would take over the workload I put on my smartphone so it really won't matter what I go with.

Theyre getting the Droid Prime. It will not be a Nexus device.

I'm looking at getting a T-mobile Nexus S. I have ATT and plan to keep this service. Do the benefits ogre this phone exceed my loss of 3G?
Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using XDA App
you are crazy if you give up 3g and go back to edge on any of these android phones. they are data monsters which thrive on 3g. kinda stinks without it. plus on edge you may miss calls alot if data transfer is in process.
the ATT nexus s version is coming out in a few weeks, so there is no reason to not wait for that version and buy it for ATT.

Wait for the Oct 11th Samsung + Google announcement and make a decision then. Hopefully more details will emerge there (carriers, release dates, etc) that can help you to make that decision instead of just guessing.
Today, Ill say Nexus S.
On 12 October, Ill say Nexus S.
Wait for prime, nexus s is almost a year old.

I really wish people would stop calling it Nexus Prime. It's not a Transformer, and we already had a Nexus One, and since 1, 3, and 7 are Prime Numbers, it sounds "cool and all" but one just knocks it off its feet. Wow, I need to not be so angry about this.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_thirteen_Transformers#Nexus_Prime
I know about the announcement but I dont have a phone right now, b/c my dad canceled the service with tmobile, b/c of att, and I was in vacation and he is lettting me go to sprint, problem is just because google is announcing it does not mean it will come to sprint soon, and im getting impatient lol plus maybe I should buy a nexus s 4g and return it within 30 days if the prime is out

I thought I'd chime in since I have a Charge and also a Nexus in the household. Nexus has been working perfect, no LTE dropping issues or anything like that. It does display 1 bar lower than the Charge, but that doesn't affect the performance of the phone.

But it's stock 4.0! It's just no comparison to Gingerbread, no exaggerating. It's so much more refined, so much smoother and user friendly. If you can wait a few days for inventory to catch up/delivery you can get it on Wirefly for $240, Amazon ~$200?
These LTE phones are expensive at the $300 price tag, but considering Verizon has 200 million people covered by the 4G network s impressive. My are has LTE everywhere, and only T-mobile has their FauxG as well. No one else.

No I'd rather pay $300 for a TouchWiZ UI.
AOSP is one of the main reasons I bought the nexus. I would gladly pay for the AOSP experience.
I have owned 3 Samsung smatphones. Fascinate, charge and Captivate. I always wondered why people complained about TW. I thought TW was a good UI. Until I used full AOSP.
The difference is HUGE. Don't get me wrong I loved my Charge minus the data drop issue, with the latest gingerbread OTA the charge became a much better device.
I am sure quad core phones will be coming soon but that's no reason to knock the galaxy nexus or someone else's purchase decision.
See, When you buy your quad core phone the next generation of android hardwarw will be just around the corner.
The bottom line is no matter which device you buy, you will always be just behind the next big thing.
The only thing you can do to combat this is buy a GOOGLE device. That way you at least will have the latest software. Just my two cents.

Realistically you can't go wrong with a skyrocket. You have 2 devices worth of devs, radio freq. That works on anything but verizon or sprint, which means service can just about be had anywhere, yes maybe no hd display but all the benefits out weigh having hd on a phone

the one he is referring to is a gsm galaxy nexus, which you will have to buy off contract in the 5 hundred dollar range. (atleast that's the only one that can compare to the skyrocket) so unless you have 500 to blow you made the best choice on att right now unless you want the giant note

No LTE yeah, but really wasn't your life chugging fine until now anyways? Realistically, if I got to choose again, I'd take the nexus over the skyrocket. The software pains are absolutely horrible compared to the HSPA pains.
There's always the future software upgrades, nexus will keep you on top of them for at least two revisions, don't expect that from AT&T.
