I'm also interested in the g2x. I work in the wireless industry and I got a chance to play with it and its amazing. Only issue is.....what's the resale value of the ns.

G2X no doubt. It has everything I've been looking for in a phone. Vanilla Android for faster update, nVidia Tegra 2 for exclusive games, HDMI mirroring and a good camera with flash.

G2 was said to be "stock" Android but it was nothing like stock. It looks like stock, but it's not 100% stock.
But have fun.

I think you should wait for Galaxy S 2.
The G2x is simply not worth it, its so bugged :S
I'll never touch that thing again...

I got the G2x... my wife got the new Samsung 4G... both are so awesome!
The 2Gx is faster since it has the dual cores... but either way, you'll love it. Go for the G2x tho if you're a gamer.
I just got the G2X and love it, I have the Vibrant T959 and then the Galaxy S 4G T959V (too many variance in names for the Galaxy S, Vibrant - sure you know can understand). Anyways not even rooted yest the G2X is an awesome phone! If I didn't get that I would have seriously gotten the 1st Vibrant T-Mobile came out with but not being 4G would have sucked but for the moment I would have been pleased.
Hope I didn't make anyone mad or offend anyone either. As you can see I did keep the T959V (4G) just to try to see if I could learn on how to improve it and help add to the positive and not negative. Hope that counts for something when reading this.

Then you should totally go with the G2X. I was disappointed with not having the internal extra memory and capabilities that go along with that and in fact was going to return the 4g but kept it and then got the G2X on Saturday, haven't even rooted it yet or really played on it and love it!
It's fun to because it is a totally different setup being LG and the 4g is to a naked eye JUST LIKE the Vibrant 3g without the space and internal memory features.
Post what you decided on and let me know what you think. You can always get the 4g to be sure and then return it. You will know the day you get it if you want it or not coming for the T959. Let me know what you do, I'm curious if it was just me or anyone else who did the same (thinking it was an upgrade) and was really disappointed with it. I didn't plan on buying it, just a impulse purchase I am so bad with those.
Do not regret for a moment the 2nd impulse purchase for a phone I don't even really need which was the G2X, that phone is awesome and there is a lot already out there for it (including flashing CWM). Good luck.
Hey guys. I'm strongly considering getting rid of my inspire on at&t in favor of the nexus S. I'm looking for fast and reliable in nyc without lte so I'm drawn to this device. I also like cm7 support. Unfortunately, my time with the captivate has left a bad taste in my mouth towards Samsung. Before I make the switch I was wondering if you guys had any advice for me. If the reviews aren't so great I may consider the droid charge as well even though its lte and will likely not have cm support. I've just had enough with at&t. What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance!

i don't understand. The Nexus S is already out, so you can buy it for T-Mobile, Sprint or AT&T (unofficially). There's nothing new to review here.
Pick a carrier, then pick a phone. The Nexus S is going to be on all BUT Verizon.

I think the Nexus 4G is awesome. If you get it, you don't have to worry about upgrading OS, etc. Nexus One and now Nexus S are absolutely terrific for getting the pure Google experience, which I think is waaay better than anything else.
That's what I was thinking. I like the updates from Google and I love Vanilla. I think it will be the perfect mate to my xoom. This weekend I'm going to make it to a sprint store and take it for a spin...

I would recommend picking up this device, I picked it up this past weekend and WOW! The first day I was kinda on the fence about it, but after a couple of days with it, my Epic seems like a slug!
The GPS locks on in less than 3 seconds, unlike 3 minutes for the Epic, which is nice.
I'd say go for it!

yea i definitely would. i went from Atrix to Nexus S on AT&T and it's just NICE having the latest OS.

I feel your pain with the epic. My captivate was just as bad. The inspire is just as good with GPS locks but again the web speed is terrible. Good to see there are no major issues with the nexus s.

Its funny but the GPS for the T-mobile nexus S I bought from Bestbuy had horrible GPS lock times that made me not want to spend the money on the At&t version. I even updated it to 2.3.4 and still dint see a difference. I didn't get to root the phone to try out roms but I'm afraid to spend the money and have the GPS not work for me. By putting a custom rom do you guys find the GPS lock time better? I don't know if I should just wait for the Galaxy SII or just get the nexus s since I did love the size of it and overall feel.. decisions decisions... lol
Yes its a good choice to get the Nexus S on Sprint's network. Cheaper plans than Verizon. Plus, Nexus is a pretty sweet phone. Fast and a wonderful screen.

Congrats, now wrap it up in BSE or Ghost Armor, or if you can't do that, at least get a case for it. One drop on asphalt will result in regret for as long as you own it.

Don't jinx yourself man. I had my Nexus One from January 8th of last year. Never dropped it until I decided to myself that I was ready to move on a couple months ago... dropped it twice, effectively knocking $50 off the value.
Got my Nexus S and had ordered BSE before I ever received it. It didn't leave my house until it was wrapped up more securely than a john's member when he's with a pro.
the only..
the only defect I have found is not being able to stop playing with it, my wife gets highly annoyed.
You shouldn't have to worry at all about quality of the build like the HTC Evo & Evo 3D. I took back multiple Evo's and have yet to return a Nexus S due to manufacturer defect
I've had several replacements due to various issues, non of which were defects noticeable in the store. The biggest thing I've noticed is the fluctuation is displays. One looks bright and bold while the other looks natural and warm. This of course would be opinion and not a defect.
I'm the type who likes to slap on a screen protector before powering on the device so I never allow the reps to open my new device and set it up.(they're always ruff and I've had two phones leave the store with scratches on the displays from the reps fingernails). Issues your going to notice are things like weak signal strength, weak wifi connection, etc. These are known "issues" were all experiencing and are not things an exchange is going to solve. I'm a huge fan of the NS4G and will never own a non Nexus/pure Google device again. The hardware is not totally cutting edge but its a solid, well built device that leaves you feeling you have the most OFFICIAL Android device in your hand.

hey guys my brother is looking to upgrade from an HTC hero on sprint. He's looking at the epic 4g and the nexus s. The nexus s is only $50 on amazonwireless, is it worth it over the $150 epic 4g? All the reviews I've read say its a good phone but has signal and reception issues, have those been fixed? This phone would not be rooted so it needs to work out of the box. Thanks in advance for any input.

only for 50$..Okay..take it..!
Or you could wait until the Galaxy Nexus comes to Sprint. I'm not a big fan of committing to a 2 year contract on a year old phone.
NS4G should be free w 2 yr contract on most sites. I would, however, wait until Galaxy Nexus comes out if I'm getting a 2 yr contract. Spoke to a Sprint rep few days ago and he stated that Galaxy Nexus should be out in June.

There's no way my bro would wait till June haha. His Hero is on its last legs and he's trying to spend as little as he can on a new phone. He would be getting an upgrade as an existing customer, I don't see anywhere that is free with 2 yr unless you're a new sprint customer.
Thanks for the input so far.
I've been fairly pleased with the NS4G, having come from the heroc. It will definitely feel like an upgrade. I would definitely recommend checking other sites though just to see if you can find it cheaper. I do think that the $50 is a fair price though.

I've had the Hero, Evo 4G and now this and I cannot recommend the nexus s 4g. The signal and reception issue are bad. I can hold my phones side by side and tell the difference.
Pick up one used on Craigslist if you can; I paid $120 for mine. Lots of ICS love for this phone. I also have an Evo and the screen on the NS4G is smaller but beautiful.
well my brother got the galaxy s II epic 4g at a good price locally, thanks for all the input guys
If he's not going to root and he wants his phone to eventually be updated to Android 4.0 then I'd say Nexus S. I highly doubt the Epic 4G is going to be updated. The NS4G hasn't been yet but it will be.

The nexus s is a really nice phone. I've had it for a few months and I will never move away from the nexus experience from now on.
But I would not get it on a 2 year contract as its already 14 months old. I would wait and get a galaxy nexus if you can afford it.
But if your low on funds and $50 is all you can spare I very much doubt you would be disappointed with it

I definitely want to get a Nexus 5 (battery and camera issues aside), but all the reported defects with either the speakers, scratches on the screen, loose buttons, etc are giving me pause. I'm thinking about waiting a month or so until the inventory at the stores gets another batch from LG.
Is anyone else waiting to get the phone until new inventory is replaces with new batches/revisions of the inventory?
How long do you think I should wait before the next batches come out? How long are you waiting?
Just get it. I've had zero issues with the phone.

Echo most of the statements here about good quality device. Still can't believe the value for the price. I've used mostly Sony devices for the past seven years. They launch at one and a half the cost and update the software at least six months after it's released.

This phone is flawless. I think most of the "problems" are just people exaggerating or people whose desires are insatiable
That defect thread is poison...
Don't worry about it. That's just a handful of people with issues, it doesn't mean every N5 is defective. If you want one now, get one now. If it has some horrible issue, exchange it for another one. Simple as that.
I don't want to ruin your party but I have 7 dead pixels on my screen and believe me I'm not exaggerating I guess it just comes down to each person experience with their units, I would recommend based on mine to wait.

There were 4 or so revisions of the Nexus 4. It's never wrong to let manufacturers work out the kinks on the first sacrificial lambs.
I'm not really worried about the "defects", I'm waiting more for the dev scene to get cookin... I know I'm gonna wanna flash something as soon as I get the phone. I'm also on Sprint and things seem to be pretty hit or miss with them right now, so I'm giving them time to get it sorted (hopefully).
Just don't wait too long, or you might find yourself trying to decide between the n5 and galaxy s5...

Same here, but how much should we wait is the question? A month or two or even more?
This could be tracked with the serial numbers of the devices I guess, considering posting a thread about this in a couple of days.
Hopefully they update the inventory in Germany soon.

Many in these forums go out of their way to look for issues (rattling buttons - give me a break - they float in the casing over the actual electrical contacts).
Lots of products get revved throughout their life cycle. It doesn't mean all previous revs were defective.
You can wait if you want to. Hell, I'll probably wait for the nexus 6 as I just don't see this one as that much of an upgrade, and a newer, better one is less than a year away.
I got my N5 day after release day and it is flawless, not a single problem.

Is dumb as the statement may sound, those who feel like waiting should, those who don't, shouldn't.
I'll explain why.
Those who can quickly get pissed of that their phone doesn't have "nipples" (N4 reversion), or the smallest most insignificant change, should wait.
For most people, that never an issue, and they should buy soon, but for me, I was childishly willing to pay $30, to trade with a newer reversion... Luckily I didn't get the opportunity to
