I am due for an upgrade soon from at&t. Is it worth it to get the nexus s or wait to see when the galaxy nexus will come to at&t?

Nexus S is old at this point. If you want then wait for the Galaxy Nexus but if you don't want to wait then get a Galaxy S II.

Also money is the other issue I forgot to mention. So even though it might be old is it worth it for free with the contract upgrade?

At this point, I would be hesitant to lock in to 2 more years with a Nexus S. It's a good phone but even for free, I don't think I would want it after another year or so.
I just sold my Nexus S today. Got a Galaxy Nexus

buy a nexus s off contract if you really want one, I picked up mine for $100 off craigslist. Had the gs2 for a few weeks and didnt like it, just too big and the UI isnt bad but just prefer stock android. Still have my iphone 4 unlocked which Ill probably sell and wait for the next new toy.
Nexus s, think this is my third one now. Love the size and feel of the phone! ICS is very solid and a good over haul for android.
Buy a nexus straight out. They are cheap enough now. Keep it for a year then get the nexus 4 when it comes out.

Even better haggle the price / contract term down or get the galaxy s3. At least you can mock the s2 guys with it

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.

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 sold my desire for £75 and will easily get £200 for the one S. Yeah, i want the updates faster!!
Thanks but no, I'll stay with the One S.
When I bought it two months ago, I wanted a 4,3'' screen, a slim device device, and a gorgeous design.
According to me, the Nexus 4 has none of this things.

Well, I've wanted this phone since it came out.. I know the S4 is out there but not for Verizon.. I'm wondering if it's worth still picking up for an extra phone to play with and root? Amazon Wireless has it for $19.99 and it's only $40/month for my plan to add a line... Worth the additional line to be able to play around with it? I know it's another contract or whatever ...

S3 will still be a good phone for atleast another year or so, especially with the community it has. Roms keep getting better and better
Imo, I'd pay for it. The d2vzw has a huge developement community, so you'll have plenty to tinker with.
I always buy my phones from eBay and last year when the S3 came out the price of brand new S3 locked to AT&T was around $535-550. But this year the S4 prices have incredibly held up very well... well over $600. I can't remember the last time a branded Galaxy S line commanded such price.
Bought mine for 700$ shipped on release day off EBay...best purchase I've made this year!

On contract doesnt make a difference for me. Bought mine for $81
I think the GS4 is selling for a higher price off contract compared to what the GS3 costed when it was released. I don't remember the GS3 costing $650 at launch. I bought my GS3 for $475 brand new off ebay a month after launch.

Wow you lucky guy!
I paid exactly 0.00$ for my S4. Technically I was given 8$ to buy it.
I traded in my wife's iPhone 4S. Best buy gave me 220$ for it and the S4 on contract was 212$. So I gave my iPhone 5 to my wife, and walked out of Best Buy with a brand new Galaxy S4 and an 8$ gift card lol
Couldn't be happier and I LOOOOVE the S4!

Did about the same thing, ditched my HTC One X at Best Buy and paid $87 for the S4 and a case on launch day. Thing has been a beast ever since.

That screams of a future IMEI lock. I'm happy to sell on CL but I've been burned lately with working phones that suddenly come up IMEI locked 2 months later for issues AT&T or T-Mobile can't seem to tell me about.
if only the price held up as well as the iPhone, Just sold my iPhone 5 for 475, not as much as I thought, but then again bought my 5 in sep

No, I traded in a 16GB, but Best Buy's trade in program has always been great. Newer phones tend to be under what you could potentially get selling it (they wanted to give me 350$ for my factory unlocked and jailbroken i5 when I could sell it for 500$ on eBay) but other phones were definitely higher, like the 4S.
I always try Best Buy first because they usually give the most.

They can still lock it. It's a nationwide database that all the carriers use.
Doesn't matter, if it's locked on AT&T or T-Mo it's locked on any prepaid carrier using the same network.

Hello everybody!!
I just have a quick question before i purchase the 10.1... it has now been a full year since the original release of the 10.1 and im wondering if i should wait to purchase it or wait for an announcement for a new one? From my understanding is the Note 8.0 that came out this year was the "release" for this years note tablet? i would also like to hear your reviews on the tablet... yes i have read about the ups and downs of the tablet already but i would love to hear what you guys have to say!! I originally had the Samsung Galaxy Note (cell phone) and loved it but after having it for some time i felt like it was too big for my pocket, so i got the SIII when it came out... now i have the SIV... and let me tell you... i love this phone... but i hella miss the S Pen... so if you could fill me in on some stuff id greatly appreciate it!!!
Thanks in Advanced!!!
Apparently there is some new thing called the Ativ or something like that on the horizon. I don't know much more other than maybe around 700 bucks? There's always some new gizmo in the works.
I have an S4 also and its great. Get a cpen for it! There is a small tipped nonactive stylus made special for the s3 and s4. Not as good as an spen but works pretty good with smemo. Samsung or ikross makes them.

I love my Note 10.1. and I'm glad I did not wait last Dec. when I saw the deal I got ($385.00 delivered).
Don't wait, go get one. Why would you wait 4 to 6 more months and pay almost what I bet would be nearly triple the price of the Walmart deal now. Hey you could sell it on ebay in 6 months if you see one that you like more and if you get the 2 Year warranty with accident coverage for $36.00. (THAT IS A DEAL!!) you have not a worry that someone wouldn't buy it on ebay.
You could even save another $20 with this offer (Open a Walmart Credit Card, Spend $100 Today and Get $20 Back), and you get 6 months to pay with zero interest.
I may just go buy a 2nd one and give it to the Wife........ SHHHHHHH don't tell Her.
I still say wait , it will beb released by September's worth the wait imo, you will be ahead of the curve and the envy of your classmates, if the leaked benchmarks are true the thing is gonna be a beast, its only two months Wait! Lol
