go for sgs 2 if you have the money in your pocket!

Skip both and wait for the gs3

Or better yet wait 'til the SGS3 is out and grab a Nexus S for an absolute bargain

Alright! Thank you for your insight! I'm just looking to get a good phone but not pay overpriced amounts for it.

When do you think the nexus prime will become cheap. Many Android devices gets cheaper after 2 months...so when will the next nexus be around $400?

Retail price? That wont drop for a long long time if ever. Subsidized will eventually drop but even then this phone will be top of the pack for a while and wont drop in price until higher end phones are released or sales are slow.

I mean from sites like kijiji or Craigslist. I got my nexus s for 300 off contract on kijiji. I want to know when it'll be cheap like that on kijiji.

I could care less if there is an "official release" of ICS for the ns4g. I know I will have it on my phone. Thank you XDA.
I'm pretty sure retail price won't go down that quick especially seeing how the Nexus S held its own for a while. Price will probably be a good factor against the iPhone 4S though...

Galaxy note to T-Mobile......

The only thing better than our phone is the screen.... a lot of ppl say its really laggy the att version at least. We will see
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
Note is nice but I personally think its too big. I see it more of a business phone, not personal at all.
Yea it is big but my boss has the att one and its really nice and we all know T-Mobile is faster so who knows might have different specs just thought it was cool that we might be getting one

I had the note briefly and LOVED it, returned it cause there wasnt a stable modem/radio for us Tmo users...if this is true, im 100% back!!
Yay?

I still haven't had time to play with a Note yet, but its intriguing to say the least. It definitely looks a bit too large to use as an everyday phone but I'll give it a shot at least
You probably will be happier with the s3, it will be the next Gen phone.
Get the note if you need a tablet phone or high Res screen for more icons on the app drawer or something. I'm gonna wait for the s3 just because of the flagship and the proper balance of features and size and weight
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
If it comes to Tmo hopefully its the same but with an s4 processor
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
I'm really really really hope it's the Note! But, my next upgraded phone will be a toss up from the sgs3 or the note!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
My uncle has the international version so I've had the opportunity to work on this device here and there. Using it daily really doesn't wind up feeling a ton bigger than the t989, only problems I've experienced are certain apps can't figure out if it's a tablet or a phone, so there's a fair amount of compatibility issues, but it's very slick.
But, and a big but, that phone is a Gen behind the s3

Nexus 4 for yourself or your love one?

Alright guys I can only afford to buy one nexus 4 this holiday , I am currently using a Galaxy nexus , I ordered one 16gb N4 for my gf because she is still using an iPhone first generation...... I don't mind to skip this nexus generation for her and I hold on to my Gnex for another year. So, what would you do ? Would you guys do the same?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Imo, if you really like her and have a strong relationship, buy it for her. You'll be much happier overall, and the nexus 4 isn't a revolutionary upgrade from the gnex anyhow.

If she isn't really a tech lover and only cares about messaging and some basic stuff maybe you can give to her your gnexus and let the n4 for yourself, anyways if you want to make a surprise I think that you should give it to her.

I'll get it for her just to stop the ibrainwashing those people are doing to her.

Time wise it's matching up with my contract.

Samsung Galaxy S4 going to launched on 14th march this week.
Will cost a fortune for sure:crying:
i think its wiser to see real world performance before deciding..
I wish I could get it... If the things I've read are true, it'll be using an Exynos 8-core processor....
That phone is gonna be a beast...
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I wish I could buy it, but I still have over a year on my contract with my S3. Damn it was nice to be near the top as far as how good phones could get, looks like I won't be there for long.
I just hope they dont go over board on the price..im guessing it will be like $299 with contract

You should take that atrix back and wait for the HTC One or the Gs4. Seriously though.

You guys fail to be within his $200 budget for a used phone.
I suggest an AT&T Samsung galaxy s2 or a samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket. You should be able to get one on that budget. I got my skyrocket for $170 on new condition few months ago.

I bet you can find an unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus for around 200$
Everywhere I looked for unlocked galaxy nexus was from 300 to 450
Sent from my SCH-R920 using xda app-developers app
And the skyrocket you musta been lucky cuz the cheapest I found was 250 and the s2 I don't like cuz of the processor the atrix hd is the idea of what I want so I'm guessing I'm going with it cuz the phones yall listed are not in my budget thx though

You need to check swappa
They've got a couple on there now around 200$
If you're due for an upgrade, the Galaxy Note II refurbed was available for $199.99 very recently.
ATT galaxy note 1 used around 200 on CL
★♡★ AT&T Galaxy Note II ☆♥☆
I still just have the original Note and over a year later I'm still pretty happy. I do occasionally start jonesing for the note 2, but not sure about the life of a refurb, I think it only saves about about $50, but with the S4 out I expect a new note 2 to drop in price soon. BTW, I haven't touched my laptop in a couple of months, I live out where the bear does his business and this is the way I get internet. No cable or DSL is within 20 miles of me... I had satellite but its more expensive and slower.

I'm with metropcs right now I can't afford a contract I'm switching to straight talk that's why I need a at&t phone I would get a tmobile cuz of faster data speed but not many tmobile towers here
Sent from my SCH-R920 using xda app-developers app
Have you considered looking into something from Pantech? The Pantech Burst, used, would save you about $100 from your $200 budget and is a very nice phone for the money. It also has a mostly-working CM10.
You could also look into newer phones like the Pantech Discover, In general, it's a good brand for the value-conscious.
Ok I decided to go with tmobile instead I'm thinking about getting the galaxy s blaze if I buy the $50 unlimited talk text 100 mb 4g speed and I run up the 4g will I have the hspa+ speed?
