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.

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!!

Polite answer - if you're getting impatient try the ICS Alpha ROMs
No one knows when the official OTA is going to come out exactly, so be patient or try out the Alphas...

so according to his twitter feed the samsung servers are giving information about ICS, he isnt answering questions though or getting into details, kind of disappointing
Well the Nexus is out now, so it shouldn't be too long. Sometime before Xmas I would imagine.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
back when i had an x10 there was a website that would show firmwares being uploaded by sony ericsson for ota updates. They were usually available within a few days, so im hoping its the same case here.
Let us wait for OTA... Now I am enjoying with Kwiboo's ICS V3...
I am thinking 1st to 2nd week of December. I think Google and Samsung wants to release the Galaxy Nexus first in the US before they update the Nexus S.

It's for sure they'll hold back any OTA update until the U.S. release of the Galaxy Nexus. But I want it as soon as possible! I don't understand why some people flash ICS roms with no wifi for example, when the official update is so close.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Why is it for sure? Unless you have inside info that nobody else does. Besides the US release of the Nexus won't impact sales any because the nexus s isn't on Verizon anyways.

before we know that, we'll probably have to know when GNex is gonna be release in USA
Flodb just so you know I am running koushs rom and everything including wifi is working just fine! It also has wallet included and working. I was in all your boats waiting and wondering but I said what the hell and rooted my ns and got me some ics and love the change and hope u guys do too!

Ok, even if everything is working just fine, it doesn't really mean it doesn't have some problems. That's why an official update is better than an "alpha"/"beta" rom.
Besides, this is the reason why you buy a Nexus S in the first place, for updates. After the OTA, it's custom rom all the way
EDIT: @Jeff Dunn: almost forgot, it makes sense to release the update AFTER the phone that is supposed to be the new android flagship. And it doesn't matter that the Nexus S isn't available on verizon. You know, there are other countries outside the US... but nevermind.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
But it has been released outside the US already. Which kinda invalidates your point. Regardless though we will see it when we see it. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Whatever happened to the nexus tablet? There is no word on it anymore. Has it been scrapped? Any other tablets coming up soon? I'm in the market for one and was wondering what tablets are lined up this year.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I remember reading that it was supposed to come out in or around July. Supposedly being built by ASUS and with a $249 or lower price point. I have so far been completely underwhelmed by every Android tablet to date, but at $249 I would pick one up just for the heck of it.
There's the Asus MeMO pad. High specs at $250.
I'm also waiting for this. I hope we hear something soon.
Waiting for this as well

I believe the MeMO pad became the Nexus Tab. Last I heard, they were ditching the Tegra 3 in favor of a cheaper dual core SoC, and aiming to to get it down into the 149-199 range to go toe to toe with the Kindle Fire. Haven't heard much since though.
I think they r trying to keep it on the down low and surprise everyone. Rumors were June iirc
Sent from my Kindle Fire using XDA
It will probably be announced at Google I/O in the summer
Tablet.
Oh I cant wait. not wanting anything else but an android tablet but it seems hard to pick the right one. I hope the Nexus Tablet ends all that.
I'm definitely getting a tablet soon, but I'm not really interested in Tegra devices. I guess I'll wait for something with an Exynos quad, but I guess I'll have to wait in that case, Samsung will probably make it an exclusive of the S3, at least for a while. I hope I'm wrong tho...

Actually, the Miezu MX Quad has been announced with the same Exynos chip even before the S3. I doubt Samsung would keep it exclusive...

They spent 900 bucks plus airfare to get to IO I don't think anyone will touch Jelly Bean until source is released in mid July. SDK ports are buggy as all get out and nothing more than proof of concept. We still won't have a fully functional ROM until LG releases ICS source. On the bright side, drivers should be able to be ported from ICS to JB, until GB to ICS.
i see Paul at modaco.com already has JB rom w/kitchen for the galaxy nexus the G2x versions will be uber gimped due to lg's inability to release the source to the dev community. reason why i sold my g2x for a gnex and haven't looked back.

I want to get an s2 but I have a problem spending around $400 for a used phone with the possibility of the IMEI being potentially locked due to the seller NOT paying the hardware payments for the device to Tmobile.

Holy ****, and that's with no contract attached? I opened the link but I didn't read all the way through it.
Someone needs to tell the idiots on craigs list to stop asking more than 350 for their used, potentially screwed over Nexus'.

nope! its a nexus brand so it will get updates first since google is handling the code/updates directly. i assume google has the source for the kernel and of course resources/connections with nvidia. whereas lg just wants to sell more phones than update older ones (prev g2x owner).
thats why i love the pure google nexus phones

Haven't the previous Google direct Galaxy phones been outdated rather quickly? Maybe not outdated, but left behind in terms of OTA's and things like that?
I mean, people will argue the galaxy s2 is a better phone than Nexus...and now the s3 just came out! For one (only one?) of the only devices to come pre-packaged with ICS, it seems to lack certain functionality and features that carrier specific phones have.

There is a dude I work with who has the Galaxy Nexus and loves it, in person the thing is beautiful...probably one of the nicest phones I've seen, well, besides the white Galaxy s2. I have a thing for phones that are all white, super clean looking, and I hate putting cases on my phones.
I baby my g2x, I have one of the LG branded ones that isn't directly related to a carrier. At my desk, that thing never sits on the direct surface, only on a stack of post-its, haha.
So I have the G2 and I have a buddy of mine offering to trade it for a 32GB N5. While I know that its basically the same phone I am more encouraged to simply because I feel that the N5 is more future proof.
Am I wrong for this ? Or should I keep it.

You should change the title to "Might Trade for the Nexus 5".
And to answer your question, yes the Nexus 5 should be more future proof than the G2.

The hardware changes include: larger speaker grills and sturdier buttons. Get the version with the newest hardware. You can tell if it's the newer version if the phone's first three serial numbers are above 311 (312, etc).
There's also another way by looking at the HW Version in the fastboot mode. REV_12 or higher should all have the latest hardware revisions.
Fyi, the G2's base cost (~$669.00 unlocked on ebay) is much greater than the Nexus' base cost ($400 unlocked off the play store). Keep that in mind before trading.
The G2 has a better camera and battery.
I almost got one but found a good deal on a Nexus 5.

I personally would go with the Nexus 5 because of official software updates and the day development community that continues to grow!
If you don't care much about development and timely/official updates from google then I'd say stick with the G2.

I would trade the G2 for nexus 5 and sell the g2 and rebuy nexus 5 and you would probably make a profit
