If that is the only new HTC phone available when I get my upgrade in December, I'm getting it. Unless they announce something else by that time.

ah crud i was going to get the inspire but now this is annouced. wonder when it be released or if id be better off getting the inspire now?

I just got this phone. Im not even looking at new phones.

Makes me glad I bought my inspire out of contract . Though I am partial to my inspire. That is going to be a beast of a phone.

Makes you wonder if it's gonna be rootable.

I think with as many devs that work on htc, its not a question of if, but when.

Wonder if this has locked bootloader?

[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).

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
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nl3VOAf15BU&feature=relmfu
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 have owned ever nexus phone so my next phone will definitely be the Nexus Prime!!

Agreed! Unless I change carriers which is a very real possibility.

Prime ftw....

Nexus is here....

I just saw it at the Verizon store.. they can't sell it till tomorrow.
I held it in my hand.. very weird with the curve.. will be great with the ladies..
Will go back in the morning and put it to the test next to my SR..
From what I can tell the only thing good about the phone is ICS..
*EDIT*... Okay.. went out eariler and saw this "wonder phone"... I brought my sr to compare..
People.. this Nexus is nothing.. feels cheap, and feels smaller then the SR.. I can't tell the difference in the screen except mine looks better.... ICS is the only selling point on this phone.. Could I feel a 'difference" well. stock to stock yes. But with different launchers.. etc.. I can't tell my phone from the Nexus..
If you want to pay $300 for a sub par phone with ICS by all means go ahead... I'm keeping the SR.

I just got the email...released today for sale (15th)

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

I was really considering buying one of the gsm versions then I did some research and found out about the galaxy s2 hd lte which is pretty much the same phone but without ice cream sandwich, but I keep comparing and found the deal breaker, the galaxy nexus does not have micro sd slot which is a android first for me. Sounds like some apple maddness, plus I got a 64gb microsd so that just docent work for me. But hey to each his own

Verizon did a poor job at releasing that phone.
I thought the nexus was going to come out around November so I waited.
My Moto atrix screen was cracked and I couldn't wait any longer. I don't regret buying the Samsung skyrocket best phone I owned so far....
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Im tempted due to ICS but in the end it isn't worth switching to Verizon and paying money for a phone that really isn't any better just for ICS .

I had Verizon and the service was subpar. AT&T works amazingly for me with speeds. After owning an iPhone I don't want another phone without an SD slot.
ICS will be available soon enough on our SR.

Engadget (first link that came up on google) says:
...this tablet / phone in-betweener is said to pack a dual-core 1.5GHz MSM8660 -- similar to the HSPA+ 42 and LTE-friendly Qualcomm chipsets found in the Skyrocket and T-Mobile's SGS II. Bear in mind, folks, that this is all still hearsay

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

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.

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
