[Q] Best Buy return.

I have till the 27th of this month to return my NS. am I pushing the envelope or what?
Anyone ever had a hard time with such a close return date?
I cant make up my mind if I should keep the NS or return it and shoot for the SGS2.
Seriously losing sleep over this.
The NS camera sucks and the S2 is to big. I've put my Inspire up for sale, but I cant make my mind up! lol

If you are within the return period you don't have a problem.
You really think the camera sucks? Why? I think it takes great pictures for a phone camera. It has even beaten the iPhone 4 in an outdoor comparison.

NexxyS4G is nice, but if I had the option of the SGS2, I'd return the Nexxy in a heart beat and get the SGS2. (super amoled PLUS and that extra .5" of screen to me is a benefit. I think the slightly larger footprint is ideal for a smartphone's screen)
Only neg is if you are one of the few that require NFC (near field comm) as I do not believe the SGS2 has that capability.
As for the camera, I don't expect much when using a phone but surprised it wasn't a little better when reviewing images taken on the Nexy.
BTW this was the first time I bought a phone with a retail presence - BestBuy. (still purchased online but picked-up). Anyway highly impressed with their service. Free 30 return policy. NO restock fee as one would see at RadioShack.

I know a phone is not for me when I start constantly youtubing and dreaming about my other choice. SGS 2 is nice, but Nexus Prime will be nicer

I don't want a phone bigger than the nexus s. I'm going to be sad of the nexus is bigger. I actually think the camera on this phone is decent. Takes good shots. I actually have the buy back program from best buy and I'm waiting to take advantage of this for the new nexus although getting the sgsII would be nice. Hmmm you got me thinking now.

It seems like that's the best bet lol. There hasn't been a single phone currently released that makes me want to switch yet. I want something that is a vast improvement over my Nexus, not just slightly better

You'll like the camera on the sgs ll. I've had the unlocked version since May and it works great.

Honestly I would wait for the next Gen nexus. The specs are like a laptop and 4.65" sounds big, but I'd appreciate the extra real estate, especially on a reported samoled nd screen... man I love technology

Yeah...I'm probably going to be getting a new phone in April-May next year haha...but the Sensation has been great thus far with a ton of dev support. It'll be a good phone for a long time.

I told myself that I will keep this phone for at least a year! But then again that's what I said about my last phone and I only managed to hold up for 9 months! Sometimes I think I have a problem.

Hahaha, ohh how I sort of miss those days! I thought my Htc Magic was the ****, it was literally **** now that I think about it. (I went into my android fanboy phase) for some reason.. thought it was the best, and better than Iphone (the responsiveness/speed was nothing in comparison to the iphone at that time)
After the magic, I got the nexus one, Incredible S - Atrix - Sensation
My magic came Jan 2010. Nexus in March, (The last 3 phones were the worst) I had the incredible S for a single month, wanted to try out the dual core (atrix) and traded that + $20 for sensation (best trade ever.) I think it's insane how some people can stick with 1 phone for 3 years. I just wish I never got into this world of phones (huge holes burning in my pocket) and correct me if I'm wrong but I believe in Canada, it's more expensive too

Goodbye Glacier

The other night you fell and completely shattered your screen. It was a sad moment for you were the best phone I ever had. Now it is time to move on. Contact is up so decided to go pick up a G-Nex in a few days when it hits stores. Hope to see a few of you guys over there. If not, it has been fun!

Did I miss something about the NG coming to T-Mobile? Or did you change carriers?
I don't blame you for switching to that beast of a phone. I am hoping one day it hits the T-Mobile store and I some how have a cool 300 to throw down on a new contract.
Enjoy!

Really? If I went to Verizon looking for the same plan features, I'd have to pay them 139.99 USD a month. I'm only paying T-Mobile 59.99 USD a month, that's less than half. This is why T-Mobile is awesome.

Agreed I pay $74.90 (after tax) unlimited everything (5gb data) if I went to big red I would pay $130 before tax for 450 mins unlimited data and text
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

With unlimited and 10 gigs of data I pay about $110 a month. I,myself, barley use 350 mins (mainly text). With the double data and 450 it comes out to be $120 for Verizon where I am at. I'll be happy to pay a few bucks more for their network and less dropped calls.

Good for you man, don't pay attentionto all the negativity over here people are getting buyers remorse because the sgs3 is coming out. It's a great device, I can't wait to see everyone that switches over complain over there.

My buyers remorse just came in the form of the GS2 my wife got yesterday for free... I was hating on it when it first came out, but now that I've used it, and it's been updated to ICS, I think I could be very happy with it. But then I'm addicted to the One S's camera, which, aside from the color over-saturation issue, is awesome and much better than the GS2's. Now I just have to wait for the GS3 to arrive and for ebay to be overrun with GS2's so I can snatch one up for cheap.

I plan on getting one myself depending on what comes with it but this is going to be my primary device. The other will be for development but I have a few devices now totaling 8 so I'll chalk it up to the collection.

I only buy phones as they come out.trade the old ones out. But not just any phone.only high end phones.once the note 2 comes out. Then I'll have it again.

No problem here and had you not read about it you wouldn't have noticed it yourself, it only happens when web pages first load and after that its gone.
My suggestion to you is to get rid if it and get the SGS3 and find that it will be slightly better but still there, people don't realize that the better the screen the more your processor has to work to correct it taking away from processing a little inorder to have 1 second of pixelation instead of 3.

Yeah, development on the rezound is and has been slow. Some devs refuse to work on the rezound because they dislike the resound community.

Not to mention having short the phone out for s off is dangerous.

That's ridiculous, it is not dangerous if you do it right, its amazing that the devs found that trick. The rezound is absolutely superior in every way (hardware and development) to the thunderbolt.

I just wish the t-bolt was thinner, other than that it seems to have enough hardware muscle to keep up and the development community is fairly active.

My opinion on "MY" Thunderbolt is that it is a good.. But not great device. Battery Life is poor. Other than that, the only real complaint about the device itself is that the proximity sensor used to turn the screen off while it's against my head hasn't worked since about the second week I had the phone.. My Tbolt has had a good run. I will have had it 2 yrs this November. It has gotten pretty beat up with dings, scuffs, and chips all over it and a cracked screen (right across the "home" soft key) but all in all its still kickin strong.
Compared to my buddy's gs3 I'd say it, at least appears, to be lacking. The gs3 is a pretty cool device but honestly I think it's more of the simple human need for bigger and better toys that separates the two.. I am running Liquid's ICS at standard processor speed and I didn't notice much speed difference between the two phones...
I think it really boils down to device specific features and how the phone looks and feels that make me choose a phone and with custom roms and the basic customization of the Android OS they can all potentially be equal in that aspect...
That's my... Idk... 50 cents haha..
Thanks for the share.. I'd say it sounds like the guy is just trying to say what he can to sell his Thunderbolt lol
