Hello I was wondering what you guys think I should do. Sams club has the one x for $99 w/ two year contract and amazon has the galaxy sIII for 199. Is the sIII worth that extra 100 bucks? I am just afraid of the multitasking issues driving me insane unless people here make it out to be worse than it is. Any input would be great! Thanks!

try reading reviews of the devices on other sites like the verge or android central or someplace like that..
Its pointless to ask other people such a question. Its completely subjective, and what is worth $100 to me may not be to you. Sounds like you know what the differences are, so are the differences worth $100 to you? Is it really that hard for people to make their own decisions about a freaking phone?
I'm with gunnyman, and all these threads about whether one should return the One X for a GS3, which one is better, which one should you buy, etc. are getting quite tiresome.
Even if you think its a legit question, you should have posted it in an existing thread, since there are already quite a few. We certainly don't need more threads on this topic.
This is not a Samsung forum nor a Galaxy S III forum... kindly ask your questions there.

i just saw some articles over the internet
just google it if you're interested..coz i got only 2 post counts and am not allowed to share any links
i just wanna know if it does exists, before i buy one for myself
If what exists? A bug? All phones have bugs to varying degrees. You need to be more specific and detailed.

I have had my Nexus S for four days now and have to say that there are no bug's that I have found on it, so unless you can say just what kind of bug, say such as something doing a force close, then I do not think anyone will be able to give you a answer!!!!

DOH!!! Damn you.
BTW, if the price drop of the nexus has dropped to
320 British pounds sterling = 519.6160 US dollars
That's still a lot of money.
NYYFan325, had to thank you for the laugh
On a serious note I did read somewhere (too lazy to go find link) that the NS4G was being sold for $99 w/ 2 year contract. Thats a solid $100 less then Sprint stores.
You guys know how it works, they care more about the 2 yr contract extension than they care about the
price of the phone. Wirefly and amazon sell pretty cheap. You can get cheap prices at Sams club and Costco. Doesn't mean that the phone has a bug in it.
Sorry i forgot to mentioned the bug that am talking about..
have you guys heard of the "Reboot Bug" in google nexus S ?, i heard it just reboots the phone automatically,

Wish they would have done that for my EVO, buggiest phone I've ever had!
The Nexus S, on the other hand, has not given me one hiccup after a month of use.
Just wondering how much everyone paid for their Sensation 4G in the end, and how they went about getting the deal that they got.
I am currently an EM+ customer and I called in and they basically told me that they couldn't do anything for me (I said that I was interested in signing a two-year contract). The girl just referred me to the website saying that it was 250 and 50 rebate. I mentioned the $150 walmart price and she says "Yeah I think CostCo has it for like $90 too". bummer.
Please see the thread that talks about Releasing for Tmobile. I know it's big, but a lot of it is discussing peoples deals that they got. There's really no reason to start a new thread for it. I know you know about the thread too because you've posted in it.
submitted to MOD for lock
Wouldn't it be better to have a thread specifically for this information? I don't understand how it's a bad idea. Kind of lame if this gets locked. This is general discussion.
Yeah, I just searched several different phrases and didn't find my answer either. Leave this thread alone.
because it's already covered extensively in that other thread. why make a new one to just rehash what's in another. I'd understand if it was an issue with the phone that should deserve it's on post, but you're just wanting to know what others paid for for their phones & how much *****ing/politely asking/manipulating the system they did.
Right, which will be useful information for me and hopefully many others. That other post does not state that it's about what people paid or anything. But, now you're making this thread useless with your unhelpful posts.

New contract? Renewal?
Paid just taxes on 249 (that is around $20), and got it on 2 year contract extension. Had to talk with 4 CS reps, before getting this.
Some person will get a better deal than others. I think its depend to whom you are negotiate to.
But the worry point is, some one will not satisfied with others and will complain to their carrier/supplier and in the end all will not get a good benefit due to many complain others get good deal than yours..something like starting a "war" for the good deal..lol..
That's why its better to keep to your self on a good deal. So that the war will not start..lol

I'm quite happy with my SGS4G. My wife is as well, but well... she has dropped hers a few more times than she ought to have and it's starting to act funny. (Mine is also starting to act funny, but I think a new battery would be helpful.)
We're both running VB; but we got the text message from T-Mobile that we're eligible for new phones. Whatever that means.
It's worth looking into anyway... suggestions for a new phone?
Requirements:
* Wifi calling (travel a lot)
* Decent developer community
* Preferrably a low price. (Experiences with swappa.com welcome. Never tried that before.)
Thanks in advance!

Friendly Advice....get a list of phones available for your carrier and go to those forums to see how people feel about those phones
The obvious answer is the New Nexus 5. It will be the most supported phone for atleast two years. Or if they have the Nexus 4 in stock pick it up. I dont suggest anything that is not a Nexus device. That said the Moto X looks nice Im sure @bhundven can offer opinions on it.

Sounds like the one might be worth looking into also.

The moto x is a great phone! It is the only android device that I have that is not unlocked or rooted. But it is that way because I derped on researching and didn't know the at&t version was locked and not unlockable.
At $349 for the 16G and $399 for the 32G, the Nexus 5 brings more value for the dollor... verses $649 for the unlockable developer edition of the Moto X.
The motorola-google merger is still young and I've noticed manufacturing issues with mine, and there are long threads in the moto x subforum about defects that others have noticed with the chassis.
Personally, I'm keeping my moto x in case someone makes an unlocked bootloader for the AT&T version, but my nexus 5 (white 32G) is on order.
A lot of people like the HTC One and the Galaxy S 4 (available on the play store, with unlockable bootloaders).
I think as @kennyglass123 said, it all comes down to personal preference and reading the forums to find out what other users think of the device. Research is your friend; learn from my mistakes

Good to see you finally getting on the Nexus bandwagon lol. I might be picking up the N5 but I have to find a good phone for my kid. Not going to give her the N4 that glass back will not make it a week. That is the only downfall to the N4 .
My dad's going to India to visit family, and a cousin asked to see if I could find someone selling a used Nexus 4. Or something that had a bad ESN but was unlocked, so that he could still use it in India.
During my search, I came across an ad on Craigslist..where a guy is selling a Nexus 5...says it's unlocked and will not work here but will work elsewhere in the world.
So I asked him if it had a bad esn, and he said No, it's disabled by Google.
I use an iPhone and I'm not sure what that means...I did a lot of searching and came across this site.
And the only place I saw "disabled nexus" being referred to, was with people who had their nexus phones stolen during delivery...and Google then disabled the phone and refunded the money.
So, I'm faced with a moral dilemma that the phone could have been stolen OR the guy himself lied to Google about it and got a refund and is now trying to make some money.
But the price is good...and I'd really like to buy it.
So..my question is... Will a new unlocked Nexus 5 that has been disabled/deactivated by Google, work in India?
Or would the deactivation be worldwide? Because no point getting a good price, if the phone won't work!
I really don't know where to turn to.
I'd appreciate the help.
thanks.
The point of disabling a device is making it useless. Why would it work anywhere? What's the price? The price on a brand new one is already low enough, how low can this be? If it's too good to be true, it is.

The reason I posted that question..was because I don't know what "disabled" means. At first I thought, it meant like having a bad esn.
But if it means turning the phone into a brick that won't start or operate, then that's that.
The price is $300 for a 32gb Nexus.

hi folks
am after a little help please. i am looking to buy the 64gb version of this phone if i can get an invite. but that is NOT what this thread is about. Im a little confused over the pricing structure and was hoping some folks could explain it to me and maybe say what they did?
Ok so i looked here http://oneplus.net/one and the price shows as $349 which converts to about £215. great that looks like an awesome price for this spec. Im sold and now i want one.
However, this morning whilst doing my usual reading and searching i happened upon this http://oneplus.net/uk/one which shows the price as £269?!?! Ok so now i am confused. there appears no difference between the phones linked and they are both apparently from the same official source. SO why the huge price difference??? Could i not just buy from the first link and save 20% or would they not ship the phone to england if i buy from that page, or worst still would i get hit with huge custom charges? If it just means the shipping takes longer than the price would justify the wait.
Sorry for the questions but im really on the edge about buying this phone and for £215 im sold but at £269 well thats a different sale i need to make to the missus lol.
Thanks for looking and for any help advice you can offer,

Its because of tax reasons, haven't you noticed that tech is expensive in the UK?
The US is generally the cheapest place to get tech.
So do you think I'd be able to buy it from the first link and pay the same price as they do in the u.s.? Tyia

Price in UK is £269. Including VAT. If you buy in USD, I think you'd have to have it delivered to the US. £269 is still a fantastic price though...

Cant argue with you that its a fantastic price. but id managed to convince the other half when it was £215 but boy does she love to disagree with me :crying:
SO i presume then if i order it through the usd link they either wont send it or will simply add the tax on at customs or something?
Cheers for the replies folks.

helpful? How could it be?
My question was why are there two different prices listed for this phone one in gbp and one in dollars. And can i or anyone in the uk purchase the phone and pay in dollars? If its possible would anyone here know if we would have to pay customs duty?
With that restated you have attempted to derail my thread by making it about using the search function.
The first is a link to a comment from opo saying this phone can be purchased in the uk.
Your second link is an off topic thread for folks in the uk. Both not even from xda
The third link is about using the phone on threes network.
The fourth link is about someone asking where the phone can be purchased and appears to end with folks talking about selling/buying on gumtree.
The fifth is about someone asking about how long their order may be in the delivery process.
Would you care to elaborate how that in anyway shape or form answers my question? Or can you answer my question? Or would your searching powers be able to show me the link to that answer?
If not i dont really get what you hoped to achieve with your two posts. And would humbly ask you to please reply no further.

then fair play and i thank you for your help.
ok guys just in case anyone else comes across this issue i think i know the coup now.
I went online to order the phone via an invite i was kindly given by a member here. It automatically took me to the price in us dollars so i went through the order process and when i tried to pay via paypal. It said i was in the wrong store and it forced me to the uk store and to then pay in gbp. So it did indeed ultimately cost me the extra 20%. I know i could have got it sent to a pal of mine in america but i didn't.
Hope this clarifies the situation for anyone else wondering.
It also applies for €.
Its pretty clear the oneplus/UK site 269 pretty simple? In us its 349 something like that. There's a difference in price because of different vat etc.
I bought a one plus one I'm in UK I managed to understand....
