Will the Nexus S on sprint kill the image of having Nexus phone?

Have you ever had that moment when people tell you, What's so good about your phone? Well I have and I reply because it's the phone that you don't have. Not that many people know about the Nexus line. If Sprint does offer the Nexus S will it have the same unique feeling that it has to own a Nexus device. How would you see of your walking down the street and you see someone with the same phone?

why would I not want someone else to enjoy their phone? The more the merrier.

Who cares? Are you insecure or something that you need another person's opinion or have an "exclusive" phone to make you feel good?

It's not really insecurity. The reason I ask this if I was the only person that felt this way. I upgraded from and Evo and I work for Radio Shack. Mostly everyone has an Evo and half the people don't even know how to use it. Honestly the reason I say this. The nexus line is not one of your everyday phones that everyone has....that's why.

I kinda feel the same as you. I kinda like walking down the street and seeing no one with a Nexus phone. I think it will definitely lose that unique feeling once you can walk into a t-mobile or sprint phone and buy one...

And this is why I don't care about other people's opinion. When it's all about image and bragging rights, then I am reminded of the fact that half the population is below average in intelligence.

Ya, I felt the same way with my N1. The N1 was my very first smartphone, then moved on to NS . I choose N1 because it wasn't being sold in stores, it wasn't an iPhone, and because Google helped create it. Its just nice having something unique.

The nexus s is a great phone and it doesn't matter who has it in their carrier because google wouldn't let it be branded which makes the nexus line what it is.

One of.the things I loved about the nexus one was that no one had it. I saw only two here in miami and I work in a cell store. I loved that phone it was special I regret changing for this one.to be honest. I don't want ten million people with the same phone as me. Its why I bought a nexus. That's the point of Google having a phone. So that the true android users can have something crappy two year upgrade I want a rebate people can't have. Hello people realize there Fu..... us. 4g nexus now? I can't even use Pandora and drive because my signal goes in and out. The nexus one was perfect. !

there will be more accessories from otterbox and casemate when more ppl buy this phone.. that's a good thing.

the more people having the same phone the better
as it encourages more development and support
it also translates into more longevity before you need to switch to another phone

First one is true, but more development is also encouraged by the fact that it is stock Android. I can imagine it's easier to develope on.
I don't know why the second one would be true. If many people buy a certain phone (for example the Galaxy S), the producer wants to make a second one, the Galaxy S II in this case. You, jealous as you are, buy that phone. Also, a unique phone is still cool after 2 years, because you can still say: look what I have! No one will recognise it.

I don't think it will ruin the image of the Nexus line.
I think that this is a good phone and im surprised that not so many people have it actually.

I've seen a grand total of 1 Nexus One and 1 Nexus S in the wild since the phones have been launched. The Nexus S being mine.
I didn't get the Nexus S to be a special unique snowflake, I got it because of the stock android experience and updates directly from Google. Though, other phones seem weird to me wince I'm so used to the curved glass display on this phone.
I'll honestly never understand people who feel the need to be special.

I don't have a nexus s, and I don't mean to cause any problems. I do feels like google has soldout the nexus line to the highest bidder. I was jealous of nexus users because the name nexus to me meant a developers phone and seeing one in the wild meant the owner knew a thing or two about roms and xda. It still means that, but thoses days are numbered now that sprint will be releasing the phone. I wonder if they're going to be insuring the phone. Again I mean no disrespect or anyone on the forums.

Honestly I don't think sprint is going to release their Nexus S version. That page could just be from the Nexus One.

i like the phone but if other carriers get it i will be parting ways. everywhere i go i see a iphone 4, i dont want that feeling with the nexus s. when i had the nexus one i seen one other person with it. now you can walk into best buy and buy one

I'll only be bothered by the Sprint NS if it's better spec-wise (not counting 4G - which it'll supposedly have - since I'd have to drive 3 hours to the nearest WiMax signal anyway).

The technologically uneducated masses may buy the phone because it's touted as the best android device and available on vodaphone, but its the best phone because it's so modable.
we all know the average user doesn't have a clue about half of the capabilities of their phone, the joy of the nexus for me is that modding becomes a hobby, trying new roms, overclocking, etc, and because the nexus is google native, mods are easier, and the updates come quicker!

Considering buying an iphone 4

As much as I love how open android is I still think I may want to get an iphone 4. So can you guys give me some reasons that would make me not make this decision.
Sent from my Inspire "4G" using XDA Premium App

ugh, why? This would be almost a waste of money. Consider that in the next 3-4 months a multitude of phones are dropping. For ex: iphone5, htc holiday (htc inspire hd), Samsung galaxy s 2, Lg Thrill, htc lead, Sony Xperia play, Samsung Attain....
I guess my question is, how would making the switch from Android to IOS honestly benefit you and your lifestyle? I prefer android simply because of the openness if I don't feel like sense then I got with cm7 if I feel like sense I flash a sense rom. With IOS you only get jail-broke or non jail-broke, in which some you can't even use i-tunes for apps, which i-tunes still has some apps that cydia doesn't. Not to mention almost all IOS apps are being ported to android.
Though I am just not a fan of apple; I personally don't see a reason to pay absurd amounts of money for something that is technologically behind the times, and over priced for the parts it contains. Take into consideration that everything but IOS is outsourced to other phone makers like lg and samsung.

I believe you would love the iPhone 4. I know I love mine. And I have Android and WP7. The iPhone 4 has the best battery life of all systems...purely amazing...and just works so well. It isn't as sweet as WP7, but it has all the features and is perfectly reliable. You'll love the apps for iOS as well. I'd say go for it. But keep Android also.

The Wife has one. I opt'd for the inspire because;
1. Cheaper
2. More horse power with the OC
3. More Customization.
4. Games are finally coming in droves for Android.
5. Custom Roms. After a Jailbreak what can you load on an Iphone? Nothing great. I guess you can wear your pirate eye patch, but that is lame....
6. Smaller screen. Ho Damn, I can't stand using the eyephone for internet browsing. Its to small and missing flash....
7. In the near future there will be awesome phones and the iphone 5. Why get last years model?
Ect, ect, ect, ect....

I must say that if you are in this forum (XDA Android) asking about the benefits of IOS(Apple), then clearly you are a comment whore that already knows the in and outs of this.
Just my two cents

He has an inspire and has every right to ask us how we feel about the switch.
Anyway back on topic. I wouldn't get the iPhone. You will be unhappy with it in a month. iOS has terrible memory management and is SEVERELY limited. It has great battery life because you can't do anything with it lol
There is no true multitasking on the iPhone. My battery life would be great of I closed every app immediately after using it. And I just can not stand how safari reformats everything to what it thinks looks best.
The only thing the iPhone has on android right now is its camera and screen resolution. That's it.

...Way to go!

Well I kinda agree. There are several threads already asking about the iPhone 4. I mean come on. You can Google it and hear it from the guys that review every phone imaginable and get their two cents. Were not here to tell you to keep your inspire,instead make your own choice. The layouts of both phones are everywhere to be found and why tell a guy the reasons not to leave when he owns a inspire already? If you love your android,keep it. You know the ins and outs of IOS and honestly its over priced rubbish that is created year after year with very little upgrades just to make them apple brainwashed idiots keep buying hoping for a change....not happening. Want my opinion? Steve jobs and his entire apple company can stick with mac books and that other crap but not cell phones. They are scam artists and copying basterds that deserve to go back in time and sit a few years in pelican bay Penn and made someone's woman. Just like Samsung,you expect more,yet get pointed into disappointed. My iPhone 4 lasted exactly 12 hours and 37 mins. Received it before ATT closed one night and had it back in the AM. If you want a iPhone,go ahead,try it out. If you need info,search youtube or Google and you already know details. Just my two cents

While I don't agree with how this was said (No swearing in the forums please) I agree with the the point r what was said. The only one that will be able to tell you how you will feel about it will be you after you have used it. I have been suprised by phones that I thight were garbage but turned out to be decent. All the info you will need about both your phones is all over the internet. Why make a post in a Development forum that is not even about the device your thinking about getting?

[Q] Trade Question

Hey guys, let me start by saying I love my G2X. It's been problem free for me and I hate to let her go but I've recently acquired a GS2. Since then my LG has been collecting dust. I have the opportunity to trade it for an ATT iPhone 4 32gb. Sound like a good trade? The iphone doesn't come with the original box and has a scratch, that's barely noticeable, on the front and back.
If this is in the wrong section I do apologize but it seemed fitting given my question.
Thanks in advance,

Dual core to single core? You do the math.

That's true. However, in my attempts to sell my G2X people are concerned with the build quality and bugs. I guess a better question would be, Would the iphone bring a greater sale price?

I was being sarcastic. Both my g2x and that iphone are worth more than 175$. I'm not using the thread as a means to sell either. I just wanted a fellow g2x owner's opinion on their value vs. that of an iphone.

Sarcasim is hard to read.

Make sure the iPhone has jailbreakable firmware. You don't want a tethered unlock or jailbreak. Its a pain.

If your not using the g2x anymore and the iphone4 32gb is in good working condition I would say swap it!
The g2x is a beast of a phone, but the sheople(yes sheep+people=sheople) will always favor the iPhone product because of apples support, also you can bet you'll get more $$$ back if u decide to sell the iphone4 compared to the g2x.

Really that's a bad trade, a G2x would beat a 4S, so if you're just about performance then no.
But if you like how pretty the iPhone is, then go ahead.

Who cares what's faster or better. Fact is, G2x re-sale value is pretty ****ty. A 32GB iPhone 4? That thing will stay at about 350-400 for a long ass time. Maybe even a little more who knows.
Yes swap it.
And for the record, iOS/iPhone 4 is smooth and fast as hell. I hate it, but up until now only the SGS2 or Galaxy Nexus comes close to its smoothness.
So do it buddy, you're getting a steal.

When I put my g2x up against my buddies iPhone 4 I hold my own and then some against it, with a larger screen he likes the way mine looks over his iPhone. He isn't one of those fanboys. My thing for iOS that I'm jealous about is; updates are reliable as well as apps/games oh and their built in apps "camera, messaging, etc... Thats pretty much it though. Oh and there battery.
Sh*$ I think I want an iPhone lol jk....
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Thanks for all the replies. I appreciate everyone's input. I guess the iPhone in question has a scratch on the screen so I'm going to have to see how bad that is in an hour or so. I also have a hell of a cash offer on the table for my G2x. The funny thing is now that I'm on the verge of getting rid of it I really don't want to. I think I prefer it over my new GS2 at times.
Anyways, depending on the scratch I think I will have to go with the trade. I share Mackster's opinion on the weak resale value. It's sad when people who don't know squat about phones/technology know of the bugs they were plagued with.

Would rather have my g2x then an IPhone.. <<<Not a Mac fan, BUT a Linux fan..

Too bad mac and android are basically different flavors of linux of each other. Who cares if you go from a dual core to a single core? Just because something has more power doesn't mean it's useful. The G2x is a powerhouse sure, but with the available software it's not making near as much power as it should. The iPhone 4 is a single core, but the software FULLY takes advantage of the hardware. They're about even as far as real life usage. And the iphone is more reliable (waits for somebody to come in and say try this kernel/os) than the G2x. I'm not an apple fanboy and I love my G2x but I expect so much more from this phone. ICS is finally starting to come around. Anyways, trade for the iPhone 4 use it for a couple months, and sell it before the 5 comes out so retail value doesn't completely deteriorate.

I too would guess an iphone 4 would sell for more based on popularity.
You could always keep the g2x as a backup in case you lose/damage/brick your sgs2.

What do u think of the iPhone 5

I love how it I sent even on our level and its a new phone

Sent from my SGH-T989 on Jelly Bean goodness!

Apple doesn't imitate. Gotta correct you on that. There's nothing out there like the iPhone aesthetically. This is one of the reasons so many sheep buy it. The thing looks sleek and elegant and the only other manufacturers that come close in build quality is Nokia and HTC. I personally think its an awesome phone. Its Apple themselves as a company and iOS where everything goes downhill. I would buy an iPhone if I could slap Jelly Bean on it.

Complete disappointment. I'm not an applefone fan but I thought they would come out strong with something innovative. Its just a lewd attempt to draw revenue IMO. The sgs3 kicks its ass. The sgs2 is still a competitor.

TBH I'm sick and tired of every new Android phone released being compared to the IPhone. All people are doing are giving the damn thing more publicity than it already has. The reason the iPhone sells so much is because humans always want more of the same. A tried and true formula if you will. Look at Call of Duty. Millions buy it every year because it maintains the same formula. Add a little here and there and viola. Everyone buys it because its the "thing to have". We here on XDA are the minority. We care about things that your average joe could careless about. They don't even care for the technical specifications. All they know is that there's a new iPhone out with a bigger screen. Simple people like simple things. Apple knows how to capitalize on this. Its sales 101. You never talk about the product itself but the benefits you would gain from it.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

I think people should be more open minded and accept that other people can have a difference of opinion. Some people aren't as technically inclined as many users here on XDA and like their phone to be simple and work. Yes android is more powerful and has more customization options but some people don't want to get all worked up about their phones. They just want to use them and not worry about spending hours working on them.
I personally don't have giant hands and having to readjust my grip to press the screen can get annoying. I have an ipod touch 4g and it fits perfectly in my hand. Plus the retina screen is beautiful to look at. I want to see it on the iphone 5 which would look even better.
I love my gs2 and android but that doesn't give me the right to call other human beings sheeps just because of the type of phone they're using. I just let them do what they do and mind my own business.
It's a stupid thing to think less of someone just because of the type of phone they're using. Stuff like that is similar to what leads to racism.

Like what?? You want it to make you coffee??? Let me turn the tables and use your own expectations against you. What are you expecting from the GS4 other than a better CPU, more ram, better camera, and new OS?? Coz that's exactly what what was upgraded in the iPhone... let's be real here people. If you're going to judge the thing atleast judge it fairly. Like I said my only gripe against the iPhone is iOS and its limitations. If someone were to somehow port android to an iPhone 5 I'd probably be all over it. The truth of the matter is the iPhone 5 has more changes and improvements when compared to the iPhone 4s than the changes that were made between the GSIII and GSII. Let's all be real here. We don't hate the iPhone. We hate Apple themselves, their business practices and their followers.

Have you noticed S3 as the "it" phone now?

I've been on Android since release date of the G1 and it was always annoying to see EVERYONE with that other phone, but since the s3 has launched I see nothing but the s3! Off the top of my head I count 8 people with the s3 (myself included) and another with a note 2 and plenty more eyeing the s3. I have 1 friend with a 5 phone and even he is getting fed up with that but he doesn't like the feel of Android, blah blah blah. In fact I've only seen one 5 in public. It's a bit refreshing now lol.
Have any of you experienced this?
Edit: My friend just moved back to CA after leaving the army, both him and his wife have the S3 (upgrade from iphones) and I noticed my new manager has a blue s3 sooo the count is up to 11. I'm still not seeing the 5 as much as figures would state.
Sent from the Matrix

I really don't pay that much attention but I have a friend who has owned every iphone, owns two Mac's and has an Apple sticker on their car (hipster) and when I took my phone out, she asked, "is that a galaxy s3?". I laughed and said yes. Changing apps on the home screen was amazing to her. It was like a person from the 1800's seeing a computer for the first time. It blew her mind. It was funny.

I live in NY where EVERYONE is on their cell phones during morning and evening commutes and notice the S3 just about everywhere now. To me, I see more S3's than iPhone 5's out there, and plenty are still on a 4s (including those I know personally).

I usually only see them at the gym but I don't really look when I'm usually out.

Agreed. Finally everyone is starting to learn and pick up on the advantages of android. More so, the sgs3 seems to get many compliments. I've talked to many iphone users that mention the sgs3 and how they're thinking about the switch. I really think people are getting tired of the same old boring ios.

I don't know how much of an impact this actually had, but the S3 was the last phone unlimited data users on verizon could upgrade to at a subsidized price. I feel this added to the perfect storm that was the S3's rise to popularity. I see them everywhere.

I don't think that was it. Majority of people aren't that concerned about unlimited data. I feel like most people had no idea of the new plans until they did actually upgrade. But it probably did make am affect for us techies.

I've never seen an android phone so whored out in all of my days
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

So true....I personally know 5 people who own an S3. Seems to be about on par with how many iphone 5 users i know. Probably less actually, a few of them still have the 4s. (only other android phone I've owned where i noticed the same was back in the OG Evo days, some of these people still own one)
Two other people i know had an S3 but thought the phone was too big for their hands. One was my gf who i gladly traded my G Nex to. The other was my co worker, who upgraded from a 4s. He said the size and the fact that he couldnt group message with his iFriends made him switch to the 5. (rediculous i know)
I was very close this weekend to purchasing either the Note 2 or the Droid DNA. I just couldn't do it. The Note 2 just seems too big to fit in my jeans comfortably. The lack of an SD slot and removable battery is keeping me from the DNA. Definitely made me appreciate the S3 more.

Ive noticed the s3 creeping up on the iPhone with popularity. Most of the people I know still own iPhones which imho is an inferior machine. Ive seen the note 2 become pretty popular as well.

I'm just glad that Android is getting such a popular light lately. I really love my GSIII, but I am not brand specific. Many iPhone 5 users are typical sheep to climb the iPhone ladder. I had an OG Droid before getting the GSIII, and it was a huge leap for me as far as hardware upgrading. I waited and waited for the perfect phone to have exactly what I was looking for.There were like 3 phones I almost got before I held on and got the Galaxy. Same will happen when it's time to move to something new.
I'm happy that Apple's reign is over, though. Android is like that girl you know on the side, but you had been chasing down all of the wrong girls that treat you like **** and only stayed for sex. Then you realize that one girl was there all along and you ignored her. You finally saw her in the light as the one who was by your side and waited for you, and you two finally connect that feeling of love that had been there all along. This is what iPhone users are starting to feel.

Samsung really has done something genius with these new ads they push out. That's what's pulling in the iPhone people.

I'm just glad that Android is getting such a popular light lately. I really love my GSIII, but I am not brand specific. Many iPhone 5 users are typical sheep to climb the iPhone ladder. I had an OG Droid before getting the GSIII, and it was a huge leap for me as far as hardware upgrading.

I always disliked the iPhone. It was original and cutting edge when it came out and has done but make slight upgrades and pump out phones since then. Im glad people are finally getting bored with have the same phone with the same capabilities, and android which has constantly worked on its product is becoming more popular.

I have actually. Feels good
Only 2 people I have seen with an iPhone 5 are my aunt and friend from high school who are die hard apple fans. Like seriously. No reasoning with them. Both even think android copied apple by the pull down notification and that by having the ability to change anything from icon to launcher is too much freedom.
Its like then why are you living in america, Russia or China sound like the place for you.

Ever since the s3 came into my life I consume 4-5gb of data a month. I will never give up the unlimited data!
My brother has a 4s and it feels like a small calculator or remote ha.
And people that like iOS should come to android and use miui which gives a better iOS expirence!

I know what you mean lol. I don't think it's the it phone yet but it's getting there. I see it often when I'm out in public somebody has my phone and it makes me feel good. iPhone still the king but Sammy did great with the S3 series. Time to capitalize with the S4 next.
