Lumia 900, no other phone on the market compares to the lumia 800 in form factor, durability, aesthetics, or speed. The 900 is the next logical step.

I want a 11.6" 2560x1600 LCD/SAMOLED Tablet so I can compliment it with my Note.
I don't want a tablet with the same resolution as my Note.

Or the htc titan 2, 16mpx but only 720p recording :facepalm:

I quite like the Nexus, but the screen is a bit too big for a daily mobile. I've currently got a Desire HD and thats big enough for me.
I currenty carry around an iPod Touch, my Desire HD, and a work Blackberry 9780. So Iwant something to combine my phone and iPod.
I'd love to stay with Android so I'll be watching closely to see what they can come up with that has descent battery life in the next 6 months - that way I can play my music on it without worrying about having enough charge for the rest of the day.

GNexus... if it ever comes to Tmous. and not as a replacement to the Senny but just a second handset to play with. always wanted a developer phone...
if not, gonna wait it out to see how this whole quad core pans out.
I'm happy with my Senny right now so I'm in no rush.
on the tablet side, might pick up that new 7" Asus Tegra 3. at $249... cheap thrill.
(not that I really need a tablet)

Either HTC Rhyme or Galaxy W.
I hate big screens, and i'm looking for a descent screen that is not more than 3.5" and at the same time a good processor that is not less than 1GHz.

I'll be getting the gnex. This week.

Think my next one will be a Samsung Galaxy Tab. At least it has a tegra GPU and ARMv7 cpu unlike my LG Optimus One. Too bad it costs a bunch of money(at least for me is kinda unaffordable)

Got The same Phone!
Will do same till 3rd step.
GS2's camera(s) is/are enough for me but if the Xperia S Gets DSLR lens and Capability then I will think about it. LOL!

I would get a high end phone since it's an investment, most likely for 2-3 years

Most likely when the Galaxy Nexus drops for Sprint, I'm getting it. And while so, I'll be waiting for the Galaxy S III. Love my current GSII/E4GT, so I'm hoping the GSIII will probably bring the same performance expectancy.

The nexus is 4.65 so 4.8 can't be that bad.

Looking forward to it. Although my S2 is pretty bad ass. Hard to imagine how much better it will get.
Powered by the SGSII....

Looks like most of the phone is the display, no haptic keys. Any rumors on the physical dimensions of the phone. From the image, i'd guess it's a little less than 5" diagonal. So, perhaps it's just slightly bigger physically than the S2. I'm hoping for at least 720p resolution on this bad boy lol.

this is dumb as all hell. why dont we just go buy an iphone with one button besides the volume, camera and power buttons. im all for new phones but im not getting sold into the hype of every damn phone coming out. how is it people get suckered into 2 year contract just for a "newer better" phone to be released in the next three months. c'mon people grow a damn brain. im pretty sure thats why alot of devs are still on the htc sensation because its still about half a year old.

IMO Samsung is the only smart phone manufacture whose flagship is worth 2 year contract, with their hardware staying to current performance standards for about 1.5 years after release. Saying from my vibrant experience and seeing what is happening with GS2 (not the US LTE versions that came out late with different hardware). Also Samsung has a clear strategy with their flagship unlike HTC, LG, Motorola etc who bring out so many flagships in quick succession, they don't know what they are doing. Now if SG3 is released with penta band support i would pick up the international version and stay on t-mobile without extending contract.

The original SGS Vibrant came out 8 months or more before the 4G so yes, Samsung Android phones do stay "current" for the next 1.5 years stated.
The dual-core processor is limited to very few phones so a 1 Ghz with a GPU phone processor from almost 2 years ago is incredible.
When T-Mobile released the SGS4G, it was primarily because the Vibrant and all other Galaxy S variants were so successful. Samsung and T-Mobile wanted to milk the franchise before the S2 was released.
4.8 does seem HUGE coming from another phone, but it's kinda like coming from the Vibrant to this phone. At first it seems collosal but easy to get used to. I haven't seen the Note in person but honestly it looks monstrous in the commercial. Not sure I'd wanna go any bigger than the S2.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

I'm definitely buying it , I got to get outta this dev community on this version of this phone , don't get me wrong I love the phone but the development sucks and its too childish in here and that's why I mainly stay away, hopefully with a different phone it will be better or at least the forum community will hopefully be better

Meh... I'm not upgrading until T-Mo comes out with the Note or something comparable. 4.8 inches isn't big enough for me to consider it an upgrade. 5.3 or bust, IMO.

A 4.8" screen with near zero bezel would be near perfect. Though the phone I really want is the HTC Zeta (if it ever gets made).

I'll definitely buy it no questions asked. I just have to get a dev one so I can get updates.

Anything bigger than our SII's seems too large for me. Everything is perfect about my SII including the size.

New Nexus Mobile in 2012?

I have been observing Apples new iPhone 5 release date of October and am interested if any of you guys have heard any whispers on a new Nexus Handset on the cards.
I am currently using HOX and am happy to stay with it until a new Nexus Handset comes out.
I personally would love a new HTC Nexus but it seems unlikely.
Thanks for any information in advance you may have.:fingers-crossed:

I'd love to upgrade from my Nexus S. I love this phone but I'd love to swap out the capacitive buttons for on screen ones but I don't feel the need to upgrade to the Nexus Prime.
I might as well wait for the next release. Can't wait!
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app

Heard that also

It is supposed to be around November.

it would seem to be farfetched for HTC to be the manufacturer of the next nexus device..
based from what google has been doing with the nexus lines, it looks like Samsung would be their dedicated manufacturer for the next lineup..
but of course that can change through the course of time..
it would be nice though if HTC would be the manufacturer for the next Nexus device, HTC makes really nice quality built devices (eg. Nexus1 and NOX)
i wonder when will we be seeing the new GNote-2?..
i hope its not gona be a disappointment knowing that the 1st GNote was a huge hit for Samsung.. :fingers-crossed:

Actually critics who bought and used the Galaxy Note 1 said there has been alot of problems and they are skeptical in buying the Galaxy Note 2 since they abandoned the Galaxy Note 1 and jumped over board to release the Galaxy S3. At least that's what I've been seeing lately around here.

what is the next galaxy nexus ??
with the quadcore cpu...

It would be nice to have another Nexus device release this year, though I feel like it won't happen till next year.
I also have Nexus S and I am highly considering getting Galaxy Nexus soon.
If there's a new Nexus device by end of this year, I might just wait and get a discounted priced Galaxy Nexus

personally I don't mind waiting...........
The Galaxy Nexus has been a pleasant experience since day one, I hardly use my iPhone 4S anymore
quad-core processor would only be for bragging rights and I'm past that point in life, lol

In all honesty with modding Im happy with the hardware that the HTC One X offers me at the moment.
My only gripe is the unnecessary S-Off which drives me mad. I wish HTC would listen to the masses and remove it!!
Im keen to see when the new Nexus arrives as I have had them all since the series began and love the "pureness" of Nexus. :fingers-crossed:

really... that should be something
i actually would consider buying it if its priced like the nexus is now. what will it be 350 usd thats ok if it evlolves to qcore... but i mean even chinese chip makers will have qcore in 2013.
i actually have a dual core and its more than enough

If it can offer an 8mp Camera or more with 1.5 to 2 GB of ram, A Quad Processor and a high resolution screen then I would jump in with open arms. I hope that someone other than samsung gets a go as the plastic chassis of the recent Samsung units disappointed me and I found the HTC One X to feel more premium in feel. :good:

Rumours has it that the next google phone will be just a minor update from the current Galaxy Nexus.
1.5 dual core chip, 8mpx camera and a sharper screen and thats all.
I'm so disappointed.

Yeah, more of the same

According CS monitor, looks like even the screen will be the same. So just an upgraded A9 chip and better rear and front cameras (8 and 1.9 MP)

help me decide new phone SGS2 x Or Nexus 4 ?

I have to decide if I should by
1. Gallaxy S2 x
or
Nexus 4
Both will be new, and the same price, I could pick up the S2 new instore and unlock it for the same price as this new Nexus,
I am think the S2 because, I can get it quicker, I would have 32 gigs storage with the SD card I got, but mostly it seems like a better built phone, samsung rather than LG, even tho the specs are better on the Nexus 4 I am thinking I would still find teh S2x a better phone in the long run.
Would the screen resolution or other things really be an improvement ?
Thanks Guys.. having trouble deciding, I dont' need the latest everything, the S2 seems like crazy good phone, and nexus but maybe I am rough on phones and don't like a case, thinking the LG is being build cheaper than the S2 was.

No way is a phone from over a year ago going to be better than the n4.

Please see the **DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD**. Thread closed.

Who will be jumping off the nexus bandwagon?

I will. Anyone else? In a couple months can't wait!
The overall specifications of the Galaxy S5 are: a 64-bit Exynos or a Snapdragon processor, it will pack 3 GB of RAM, a 16 MP camera, a 4,000 mAh battery, and it will run on Android 4.4 Kitkat.
This source claims that there will be a “Premium” model sporting a metal case, and a flexible OLED and one “normal” version sporting a normal OLED and a plastic chassis.

Samsung would need to do a lot more than that for me even to consider going back to them. Any closed-source exynos based device is off my radar immediately after the experience of my s3. Nah, even if the specs don't agree, nexus is a much better device for me.
Besides, any performance benefits of hardware are immediately lost when dropping touchwiz on a device.

after what theyre pulling with knox im never going back. sold my s4 to get the n5 and i love it in every way. the camera might only be 8mp but im able to take pics that are on par with the s4, some even better with OIS.
and i heard that the s5 is going to be unibody, which to my understanding means no removable battery. (may be wrong)
Yes technically the nexus 5 also doesnt have a removeable battery, but its so easy to take it apart without any real tools that i consider the battery to be removeable.
Though im not saying im going to stay with nexus. LG looks promising and so does sony. so my next phone may be from one of them if they are able to wow me and they are lax with rooting n such.

I'd rather fight than switch.

I can't do AMOLED screens. They strain my eyes like the crappy screens Apple is starting to use in their new products. Even with glasses, I get a dull headache after about 15 minutes.

well i was with htc for a while.. evo 4g.. evo 3d.. evo 4g LTE.. then i traded my evo lte for the S3.. then got the S4 when it dropped.. got bored with the S4 then traded my S4 for the HTC ONE.. didnt like the HTC ONE much besides the speakers.. so i sold the HTC ONE and got another S4.. Never liked stock android on any of them devices.. then i heard the N5 was coming out figured i would give Nexus a try.. so i orderd my N5 oct 31 from the play store.. got it a few days later.. and i have to say that i LOVE my N5 more then any phone.. wish i would have went with Nexus years ago.. now i love stock android.. so smooth/fast.. and i love flashing rom/kernels so the nexus is perfect for me.. so much development.. I would Never get another phone.. thats why i pray google dont do away with Nexus anytime soon.. i just got here and i love it!!:good: if i didnt like this Nexus so much i would prob get the S5.. cause notes are to big in my eyes and im so done with HTC taking 6 months to release kernel source.. Nexus FTW

Personally, I don't see myself buying another Non-Nexus device ever again (unless they stop making them). I've played with the HTC One, S4, and IP5s quite a bit (friends' devices) and wouldn't consider trading my N5 for any of those. I love vanilla Android and staying off of a cellular contract is nice as well.

You're comparing a phone thats standardly $350-400 Unlocked to a premium phone that would well be over $800.
My nexus is going to stick with me for a few years.
I'll be laughing becuase you'll be stuck on a contract/tab, and i've already payed out my phone.

I'm the kind of guy who has absolutely ZERO brand loyalty. I don't care who makes it, if it's cool I'll likely buy it. I have a MacBook Pro, Surface Pro, iPad Mini, Dell Venue 8 Pro, Nexus 7, Nexus 5, Moto X, and I've had a couple iPhones. I'm also a Ford truck guy but currently drive a Dodge Challenger. The point I'm trying to make is whatever the next great smartphone is, regardless of brand or manufacturer, I WILL buy it. So that means I am going to have the HTC One + or whatever it will be called, I'll also likely get the GS5 as long as there's a metal one like the rumors state. The Nexus 5 has been great to me, but it's just a phone. I get that it's a Nexus and everyone here are Nexus die hards, but there is nothing about it that screams "these are the only phones I will ever buy from this point forward." That said, I will also likely buy the Nexus 6, so long as it's cool.

64 bit processor is CRAP marketing that apple pushed and as everything apple does, Samsung will as well. The different is hardly measurable.
More than 2 GB on a phone is waste in my opinion, I never get much past 1gb anyway.
4000 mah battery is just CRAP except if the device is as huge as the note, it is not like Samsung invented some new super dense battery.
Not much of an upgrade apart from camera.

Yeah I'm like this too, it's just that I don't have that kind of money to keep buying every phone that comes out
I have all 3 major ecosystems, and I really don't care which one I use. They all work great for certain things, and not so great for others.

No way I'll ever use Samsung phones again; bloatware, ridiculous software add-ons, flimsy designs, gimmicks, touch wiz and way too expensive. I'll stick with nexus until it isn't around anymore and go with anything BUT Samsung... overrated and overpriced. BTW I owned several Samsung's including the S4 and returned them all...
