[OFFTOPIC] What phone will you be getting after the Nexus S 4G?

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.

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).

Getting rid of all my private phones and getting a Nokia N9.

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.

Yeah, this is the one tails is gonna get.
/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 love the taste of words, so I'll gladly be wrong.

I have owned ever nexus phone so my next phone will definitely be the Nexus Prime!!

Yeah I just got my Nexus S 4g also, I knew the a new Google phone was coming out but with all the speculation that Verizon was getting it first and the opportunity to make an even trade for my EVO to this I am so happy I made the decision at least we will get ICS earlier then most!

An announcement doesn't mean release date. There's been speculation it wouldn't come to other carriers until later in the year anyways.

That's why I left sprint lol. That and their BS 69.99 unlimited plan that required a $10 fee for data. I was fine with it until they took away yearly upgrades. Oh and the salesmen flat out lie. And when I went in to cancel I tried to pay my etf and was literally told "if you pay what you owe then our system will get messed up and will think you still owe" so they're stupid to boot. Tmo people are at least honest with their lack of real knowledge. I go into my local store occasionally to see the new phones and play with them and they always ask me questions about rooting and roms.

Just ordered Skyrocket...chances of Skyrocket HD being released in next 30 days

Hi all,
I am switching from Sprint and just ordered a refurbished Skyrocket for $49. I have 30 days to switch to a different phone so what are the chances of the Skyrocket HD or anything else worthy coming out within that period?

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

I just bought a skyrocket and don't live in a LTE area...(planning for it this year) I like the phone alot but I noticed not alot of development going on compared to the sgs2. Skyrocket don't have miui which is a pretty popular rom. Anyway, just wanted to ad that tidbit for what's it worth to whoever.

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.

Worth buying a nexus s on sprint?

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.

Its a great phone. Very fast and good battery life. I dont have the 4G version but the nexus s is a great phone. You won't be disappointed if you get it.

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.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

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.

Sent from my Nexus S

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

[Q] Nexus 5 on Verizon(Big Red)

I know the Nexus 5 has LTE support, but I just wanted to be sure before I purchase it, that it'll be usable on Verizon. Always wanted a Nexus device!

Definitely a no go on Verizon. Pretty much everyone offers LTE now, and the Nexus 5 works with all of them... except Verizon.

I bet Little Red will get it next year... that's one of the reasons I switched carriers.

Seriously. Thanks guys! I was an inch away from buying it. Hopefully Verizon pulls the stick out of their asses and brings the Nexus 5 over. I get the feeling they just don't want a device of such a caliber to be sold through them at such a low price. Needless to say however, if the Nexus 5 comes over to Verizon, I'll have to retire my HTC DNA. Love it, but the Nexus 5 is such a sexy phone >.<

So, what's the basis for the incompatibility? Is the Nexus 5 just flat-out incapable of working on Verizon if I were to plug in a Verizon SIM?
Will Google have to make another version of the 5, or is this something that can be rolled out with a firmware update?
I've given up trying to understand Verizon's customer satisfaction strategy, but want to understand the nuts and bolts of why it won't work on their network.

Yeah, I bought a 32GB version today too only to find out that it will not be compatible on VZW. Luckily, my contract is up pretty soon, I think. I plan on going to my VZW store and finding out the exact date. But yeah, I'm hopping off of VZW as soon as possible. I'm so sick of their nonsense. AT&T Straight Talk, here I come!
