im a girl that wanted a android phone so bad especially nexus s but this guy review have changed my mind : what u guys think about this ? is there alot of farts apps on market?
here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CZGX5dzcR4
please share if its true what he said cause i need a phone real bad.
being a girl means nothing. this video looks blah, 7 minutes; wont even bother watching this video.
https://market.android.com/ look for yourself. anybody can put a youtube video of their opinions.
if YOU like the nexus s, just get it.. you don't need any of our approvals to get the phone.
i personally like it and so do many of the users here with the exception of the j0hnz troll and some other guys.
if you end up NOT liking the phone, just return it.... its not that complicated.
Just go with your gut feeling. Don't second guess yourself. If you've shown this much interest into the nexus s, then give it a try. Like zephik said, you could always return it. Everyone has their own opinion. Let us know yours.

The guy in the video is ingrained/invested in iOS. He's used to it. If you've got $$$ invested in iOS apps like I bet he does, I'd probably stick with it too...just like I'm much more likely to stick with Android.
Nexus s is way better than iphone period.
My friends are really jealous about my Nexus s and call it "super iphone" lol.
no additional charge for tethering is a huge plus as well.
Get Nexus S. or wait for galaxy s 2
ya thanks guys ill do that. i have played with nexus s and love the speed and i already have the 3 cases for nexus s but not the phone yet as soon its released april 28th to rogers ill get it
uh this guy is complaining about updates with the nexus s and the iOS app store has SOOOO may crap apps it is crazy. Just go test them both out.

thank you for pointing that out. its funny how she assumes because she is a girl, it will make her special or something. and she keeps pointing it out in every post she makes. kinda sad. lets just hope that people arent posting replies for the sole reason that she is a girl . because thats worse
Ok? I never said im special. Reason I say im a girl so that people can say is nexus s easy or hard to use for girls I have used iphone and don't like it.

We know that you never said that you're special. Humans can imply things without saying them. We at XDA don't condone any prejudice towards any cultures, ethnicities or genders.
I don't see why being a girl would affect a person's ability to use a device. If anything, it should relate towards your personality (a person who isn't tech savvy vs. a person who is)
I just recently got the Nexus S here in Vancouver as well(when it released on April 7th. with the other carriers, and it has only been an awesome experience thus far. I watched the video you posted up until the guy said how he used androids in the past and stuff about how software is not updated. This guy is blowing crap out of his ass, cause he ain't got a clue. Nexus S is pure android and gets updates straight from google, and doesn't go through any manufacturers or carriers. If this guy doesn't even know that then you can pretty much take the rest of his video as a joke cause he clearly hasn't done his research.
As for the girl comment, I agree with Zephik, it really depends on whether or not you're tech savy. And even if you're not that tech savy I'd say Android is user friendly enough out of the box that you'll be fine.

ummmmmmm....don't mean to be rude but nexus s is not a sports where there will be difference between boy and girl. you just discriminated yourself for being a girl by asking if it's easy for girls. is there such thing that is easy for guys but not for girls?
p.s. i'm a dude btw =)
This guy is an idiot. Go to best buy: Try a Nexus S; Try an iPhone 4. If you don't like the Nexus S, buy an iPhone 4. If you don't like the iPhone 4, buy a Nexus S. These decisions are not that hard, regardless if you're a girl or not.
IMO, the Nexus S is a great device, although I am starting to grow weary of it, and have been more curiously looking into the G2x and the Galaxy S II. So, now I would say, if you have ruled out the iPhone 4 as a contender, then decide between the Nexus S, G2x, and the Galaxy S II, and at this point, if it were my decision, I would go with a G2x. If you can wait a few months, go with the Galaxy S II, or wait; I'm sure there will be something new unveiled soon enough. Google apps are amazing, market apps are starting to improve, and once again, this guy is an idiot.
I'll sell you my Nexus S if you want. For a super price. Hahah
sofia-captivate, iPhone is limited gadget. Apple placed users in a certain scope. Android not limited, everything is in your hands.
Android - this's a freedom everywhere & everytime.
iPhone - many problems for your freedom)

The only accurate thing he said was that the Samsung Vibrant didn't get updates, which is a fault of Samsung and/or the carrier modified firmware. The Nexus S is a pure Google device and does not rely on manufacturers or carriers to play with the firmware - all updates to Android are released and made available to all Nexus users.
This guy is a bit weird too...he's almost whispering, moves his eyes/head and hands about as though he's had a few drinks, and goes on too much about how great iOS is over Android. A comparison is fair, his video is heavily biased toward Apple.
Also the Nexus S is a lot better than the Vibrant with better hardware and clean software, so comparing it to a Nexus S is like comparing a Chevy to a BMW. I'm very happy with the Nexus S.
when she mention being a girl, may be she's not a tech savy or she thinks she has small hand for the actual phone, either way the NS is a great phone, used the galaxy S i9000 before, even after rooting it, it slows down very often, all the manufacture crap inside is a bad thing, NS is pure google, NS is fast, theres no competition.
I know a lot of y'all have talked about dumping the TBolt in anticipation of the Samsung Galaxy S II coming to verizon with LTE.
Guess that isn't happening:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/25/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-not-coming-to-verizon-after-all/
So, at least for the fall, looks like the droid bionic is the only dualcore lte device to look forward to.

Don't you have another virtual war to start and then abandon?
Sent from my Synergized Thunderbolt via XDA Premium App
I'm not at all unhappy about the SGS2 not coming to VZW. By the time it would have arrived the 720p, 1.5GHz dual core phones (HTC Vigor, Droid HD) would be just a few months away. The SGS2 would have looked seriously outclassed by the next gen devices.
The mobile device space is moving so fast right now. The TB has been the premier phone on VZW for about six months now and has been a great phone after the MR2 update. The Bionic will take its place and will be the king for four or five months and then something better will come along.
No, the galaxy s2 will not be missed.

These threads are all started by people that regret buying their current phone in an effort to find like minded people to cohabitate with.
If you don't like your Thunderbolt go buy a different phone. These threads are for things about the Thunderbolt, not for people belly aching and whining about the new(er) doubtfully better stuff.

I love my phone I had posted a simple note about the upcoming HTC vigor (rumor) cause I am very much about HTC phones. And you were still talking trash so don't sit there and play this same old defense cause i never said I didn't like my phone. I don't know why you are always so angry if a post doesn't suit you just stay out of it you don't have to post your two cents to everything cause this is what happens we get off subject, it gets bumped up, read by more people, fight continues and thread gets closed.

I will also admit that this thread would be better suited in a Samsung forum on this site since it does have to do with a Samsung phone. That is all for now, you r right on that.

it's one thing to say bye bye to the Thunderbolt... but abandon HTC all together?
for shame!!..

Honestly don't really care. It got great quadrant scores, but honestly we all know those are meaningless. Be happy with what you have. I might go back to Motorola someday with Droid Bionic or something, but honestly will never go back to Samsung.

actually, I have no interest in another phone at the moment. Just curious for the reaction from all those that were waiting for it.
The first phone that I fell in love with was a Bold 9000. For messaging and durability, it was untouchable. I took it swimming multiple times, dropped it off a 3 story building, and it still worked like new.
I dicked around with a 3GS for a while and it sucked. Laggy and severely dumbed-down interface and UI.
Just picked up an ATT HTC One and I'm simply blown away after an hour of use. I can't wait to fully customize Android and this phone to my liking. The simple ability of mounting the phone as a disk drive is PRICELESS.
Simply put, it is a power user's dream phone.
**** Apple.

I honestly am blown away as well and I come to this site to see what people like/don't like about the phone so I can learn more. This phone is damn near perfect coming from a Captivate which sucked in every aspect. It's nice to see other folks feeling the same way instead of the constant gripping over, what I consider, little things.

Tech and my bank account don't get along. This phone is great. I will have a party when the bootloader is unlocked. Even stock, this thing works well and that's saying a lot.
I remember when I first opened google nav...inside.. to just type in the addy like I did with my inspire so I wouldn't have to mess with it in my truck. Address in, hit go, put it in my pocket. Maybe 5 steps in to the hallway it starts talking to me with a gps lock. It was an exciting moment lol
Thank you for sharing your views on 3GS. I was thinking to have it with me but then you recently make me feel it can be broken easily with just one drop. I will add some more money and then I will buy HTC One X.

Or they didn't notice the other threads? Not everyone reads the entire board before posting.
A friend who's a big fan of Apple products told me the iPhone 5 was supposed to be Steve Jobs' vision of the "perfect phone". Of course, I told him that's ridiculous because they were continuing development after his untimely passing. Maybe future development really will make it the phone of phones.
The only time I will ever buy an iPhone, is when it is actually better!
haha :laugh:
THE IPHONE 5, like the 4 but taller. that's it. hahahahah!
The only time I will buy an iPhone is when it can download food.
I will only buy the iphone if I need to test my designs for app development purposes.
Apple did claim that samsung is a copy of apple,
except the part that it is bigger, faster, better, has NFC, MHL, HD resolution, etc.
Spoke with a Verizon Rep the other day whose family member works in Tech support, and fields the calls coming in from iPhone 5 customers.
I was told that he has over 2 pages of known issues regarding the iPhone 5. I don't know how many issues are on each Page, but it must be a lot.
He mentioned that customers would be well advised to wait until some of these issues are resolved.
That most likely will never happen;
Customers waiting, unless it's on a line, in the rain, during a Hurricane, to purchase one or two, and Apple resolving all the issues.
I did a little research afterward, and see that there are some issues, to say the least.
I have a friend who talks so much crap about iPhone, yet got an iPod Touch a few weeks back and raves about how much he LOVES it.
Just shows how ignorant some people are.

We received a hand-me-down iPod touch, which went to the kids.
In drives on a recent family trip, they all wanted our Galaxy S III phones, instead of the Touch. When only one phone was available, they didn't even use the Touch and instead waited for the Samsung.

I am seriously underwhelmed by the Iphone 5
Eh, Apple this Samsung that. When Apple clears up most of the 5's issues, Apple fans and Android fans will still complain about each other. So long as there is competition we still keep on getting newer tech. The arguments on the different forums is funny as hell. Reminds me of the verbal battles ppl would have at the speed shop or the bar; Chevy vs Ford vs Dodge vs Foreign cars. Pissing contests are always good for a laugh when you sit on the side and watch the BS fly.
I was recently watching a speed test on YouTube and according to its results, the brand new iPhone was almost double the speeds of the galaxy s 3 in certain areas. (will post the links momentarily).
So what do you guys think? To me personally, I am one to believe that quad scores don't really matter, But there are a few things that convince me that the iPhone 5 can seriously take on newer android phones now. If it came down to choosing a phone, I would probably just pick the one that's the cheapest for my plan lol.
Looking forward to your input.

What's with the obsession of comparing and trashing the iPhone? HOnestly iPhone5 and SGS3 or any of the current flagship Android phones are for very different audiences and preferences and as much as I hate Samsung you're not gonna be disadvantaged in anyway choosing it. The same applied for the iPhone5. Im pretty sure there will be a plethora of responses claiming the iPhone5 is worse than the SGS3 based on observations but not first hand experience so what's the point of asking people's opinions? This is an ANDROID forum and a lot of people here are not known for being neutral and reasonable and hate things (eg Apple) just for the sake of being hateful. They will not give you a rational response if you're looking for one, assuming you are.
I guess you're right, I was having this same discussion with my friend in school and it really just came down to preferences.
