I came from the Hero running 2.3 to the nexus myself. I can't get over the difference. It's amazing how easy it to read thing on the screen, how much bridget everything looks. Just the over-all better-ness of the phone. Do it, you won't regret it.

The evo hasalot of Dev support. But its aging hardware will be hurtfull for you after a year. Get the nexus just better over all and of coarse its a Google phone so no waiting for a port you get it first

Can't the same be said for the Nexus; hell a new nexus has already been announced. I am not partial to either one as I have access to both; simply playing devils advocate.

But the evo hardware is going to be far slower in a year than nexus hardware. The Hummingbird processor we've seen in the SGS family is by far better than what the evo is sporting.
I don't have a single concern about my Nexus S (or Epic) not being adequate in a year or two.... I have used an evo now and I already feel that it's a slow clumsy device shoe-horned into a large enclosure to attract the "hummer crowd" ... bigger is better, am i right?
I just got rid of my epic for the ns4g (cracked screen on epic). My fiancée has the EVO and I have to say its a night and day comparison. Battery on the nexus is much better. Everything is smoother, and of course the display is 100x better. The EVO is a nice phone, but hardware wise its a bit out of date.

True but right now a evo will get screwed playing angry birds with ad's with kernels and cm7. Its a nice phone but getting one now would not be a wise descion with this in the same line up

Ty everyone, the nexus being a Google phone is the big selling point to me, I do like the size of the ebo, my dad has one, but it can get a little laggy sometimes, I still have almost a year to upgrade. But the nex will still be my first choice. Unless the nrxt one comes to sprint, and has ics and dual core p:

Locked bootloader
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Itll get rooted, but bootloader is locked. With the recent breakthroughs on the Droid X with second init and getting CM7 working, count on aosp working at some point on the Photon also. Motorola may even unlock a few months down the road since they promised no more locked bootloaders.
Like the look and nice specs but I only buy Nexus devices. To buy any other android phone other than a Nexus would be stupid.
I think it is nice, but, I genuinely love my NS4G and I haven't even rooted and started flashing yet.

Yea dont blame you. I personally like Motorola and think itll be the best all around option sprint will see this year. Best battery and radio, guaranteed.

Battery life will be awesome. It has a 10 hour talk time.

If it gets unlocked, I'll jump on it. Tegra 2 processors are second to none with their 3D capabilities. I'm skeptical about battery life and the qHD display. The only phone I'm interested other than this is the SGS2 but that's not going to be out until fall according to our samsung rep.

How would that be stupid? Other manufactures add functionality that should be included in stock android already but isn't. Unless you're stuck on the "ill get updates first wagon".

That's a matter of opinion and on the development device you have the source to add to if you wish : D not hating on you but most run to the nexus line to escape what the carrier added.
The proton is ugly imo lol, can't imagine comfort holding that thing also why are all these dual cores only pushing one gig?

Hell yeah I am getting this phone. It is what the EVO 2 should have been. And it will be rooted, not worried about that.

I had a flashback when I seen it I couldn't place it but I got it, the motorola i1 presumably one of the worst phones produced with android. It featured iden push to talk and that was the only selling point, shipped with 1.5 android when froyo was out, the list goes on. the design is a perfect match as far as the shape. Visit this link

Off topic but which do you prefer more, sense or motoblur. I used sense 3.0 and I totally hated it, it felt like the UI was bogging down the hardware. I never tired blur, i know some people have a thing against it but don't know why...

First, you break the rule by NOT looking around this forum first before you post.
Second, Nexus Sense is sleeping for 2-3 months since then, but now, it's awaking in progress Nexus Sense 0.3

Debel, enjoy your Fine Nexus with aosp roms or cm. Forget Sense. Like someone said on a similar thread "flashing Sense on a Nexus is like painting a moustache on the Mona Lisa". Credit goes to the person who originally wrote that.

I like Sense, it doesn't give me bad performance, and it looks nice.
Please go somewhere else where people want to hear your bull****.
A sense ROM would probably be a refreshing change from the currently overloaded AOSP based ROMs (not complaining).
Mainly one that's based on sense 3.0. I've seen sense 3.0 ROMs in the desire forums and they look really good. It would be nice to see one for the Nexus.

Ok well I came from an E3D to get a nexus sense 3.0 isn't all its cracked up to be its just ok... a couple visual enhancements and it runs a little smoother than sense 2.1 stick with aosp or Miui it brings much more to the table

I still think the GPU is better (same case with Tegra 2).

not saying it isnt. i love my nexus s. im glad i chose this over the arc. i was origanally going to get the arc on contract but then found out they has the nexus s in stock and asked for this one. i een chose this over the galaxy s2 as this is part owend by google and we should be the first to get the update if i am right. but still to trade the E3D for a nexus s is to me a little bit silly if you ask me. the E3D is an amazing phone and HTC are very good at making a fast reliable deice. Same as Samsung and LG.
I knew I would get flamed like I said on other posts

I pre ordered the evo 3d when I had my Nexus, simply put, some people like the nexus and some like the evo. And they are working on a sense 3.0 rom for the 4G atm. Though sense 3.o uses a lot of ram, I don't know how well it will work for the nexus. My girls inc2 ran sense 3.0 well but it was hella buggy...

And I take it miui roms are the exception to this rule? I bought a nexus for its openess to development like the nexus one was before it. Do you suggest we close development to only include cm and aosp? Gets old after a while...

This is the development forum. Try the Q&A forum. Lots of good people on here willing to help.
Idk if anyone's posted THIS yet but...supposadley ICS for the Nexus S will be revealed that day? Either that or maybe they'll unveil the Nexus Prime running ICS. The live stream will only (obviously) be there the day of (the 18th)...but for now, an awesome giant ICS-Android!
Most likely the nexus prime and ICS.

Could someone explain to me, why the next nexus comes from Samsung? I thought Google wanted to change the producer for the nexus every year.
I as I'm sure all of u would love to ics sooner rather than later. I can't help but think about how Apple handles their updates though. The 4S released today running ios5. However ios5 was available Wednesday, two days before the 4S was launched. For me, if this was going to happen with Android and ics I would be over the moon! It's unlikely but hey, we can live in hope eh?

Always wanted a nexus s when they can out have a inspire 4g right now but had a offer for a Nexus s so what would be best? If anyone has both and could tell me what one is better and why that would help thanks
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
They look pretty similar, here's the spec sheets for both though if you haven't seen them yet. Looks like your Inspire has more RAM but Nexus has a way bigger hard drive. I've had my NS for a few weeks now and I'm happy with it despite it being two years old. There are some great roms for it too, HTC was a let down for me on the development side. Plus it's just a sexy looking phone I would make the trade if the condition is similar on the two but that's just me, I'll take pure android over Sense any day.

The 4.2 roms I've tried are great, very little lag if any with the right kernel. I think the drop in ram will be your biggest issue though, may not be quite as smooth as yours.

I got my Nexus S 2 months ago and I don't regret buying it. If there are a right developers, device will be never dead.
P.S. It has such a small quadrant's results, but i don't belive in **** like benchmarks. MC4 works awesome, even better than on 2.3 or 4.0/4.1.

The develpoment section is better for the Nexus, the sexyness is undoutible asswell, just turn the screen of on it and look! (Nexus looks more modern do you see how new devices tend to have round corners?)...if you are not certan on the other owner's phone do not traid but if the device is ok, do it in a heartbeat!
