I don't mind I go there then to see is it available because I have class in the afternoon.
Hopefully the store (either Bay Parkway, Brooklyn or 23rd Street, Manhattan) will let me to mess around the phone before buying it instead of returning it later.
I'll pay in full ($530 + tax) because I have "unlocked phone plan" (EM+).
i'll go pick one up @ the soho bestbuy w/o contract on thursday morning before i go to work
I want to get it too unlocked.. but I want yo know if the community will be large like nexuss one or evo

I will be at BestBuy an hour before they open to beat that one other person that may be there, but yup ill get one
Hope you guys will release the system dump
I'll stop by a BestBuy on thursday to look at the Nexus S for sure.
Got a Nexus One atm so its not an emergency to upgrade.
Ill be buying one only cuz i lost my N1 recently due to being extremly drunk. but have to wait for AT&t/Rogers one if it ever comes out.
waiting paitianly with my HTC Dream.
if i have to wait much longer with this slow ass device i might have to shoot myself.
I will be buying it on day one
i'll be on vacation, but i look forward to seeing all you guys talk about it. (^_^)
I'm going to dive in. The N1 is getting retired from daily use.
I told myself that i would never ever get rid of my N1 but honestly with the market for N1's as it is right now It be stupid not to sell, i got a good price for it
And its better to get rid of it now while the market is high and the next installment is on its way
Who else sold there baby to get the NS?
I will be selling my vibrant for the nexus S not much of an upgrade, but I really like the slight hardware design change and the software (pure android, + ext4fs)
Sent from my Android phone.
I'm selling my Nexus 1 to get the S.
I work Thursday at 10am so hopefully I can snag a Nexus S before work.
I will hit the Best Buy at 86th st in Manhattan and pick mine up on Thursday, probably right when they open.
I'm selling my HTC Desire and yes I will be there on day 1.
I have a Best Buy right across the street from work.
I'll be there when they open.

You won't wait for an AT&T variant?
I want to get it on day one, but with my Nexus One I learned my lesson the hard way. Hopefully Samsung hid the AT&T 3G bands on the chip like they did with the T-Mobile Vibrant.
I'll be at the local Best Buy at 8am to pick up two Nexus S'eses.
"Give me six Schlitzeses"
I may get it, but wanna wait a few days for the real reviews.
OK. Here's the situation... I currently own a Droid Incredible and I'm only 8 months into a two year contract. I've been playing with a Galaxy Tab for the past few days and realized what I really want - a phone with a bigger screen.
Can I get rid of my Dinc and upgrade to a Droid X (or even better, a Droid Bionic) without losing my shirt? :-/
What options do I have available?
Trade in the Incredible to Best Buy and buy the new phone off contract, would save you some cast. My friend is doing something like that to get the new HTC Thunderbolt when trading in the Droid X.
or wait a full year to make it 20 months then upgrade
im going to try that trading thing thnx

Are you referring to their new "Trade Up" program? If so, I thought that only applied to new phones. Or am I misunderstanding you?

Nah, if you take a look at Best Buy's website for trade ins, it actually breaks down how much you could get depending on your phone. I just searched about five minutes ago (for the Droid Incredible) and it worked fine for me.

Hmm... I think you may be mistaken. I just went to BB's website and it clearly states the following:
Purchase the Buy Back Program along with your new product
Bring the product back in good, working condition with all originally included accessories when you're ready for something new
Receive a Best Buy® gift card for the product's redemption value
Purchase the Buy Back Program along with your new product.
So this wouldn't apply to my Dinc that I bought 8 months ago. It only applies to the new phone.
I won't dispute that but if you look at the Best Buy Trade In home page, beneath the part that says "Find a Best Buy trade-in store near you" there are two qualifications and the second option details products NOT purchased from Best
Buy. I misunderstood the details, but I know you could return your DINC if you purchased a new phone to enroll in the program then returned your DINC even if it wasn't purchased from Best Buy. Either way, at the very least you could see how much your phone would go for and sell it elsewhere if you think you could get more for it.
Saw this little blurb on HTCpedia can honestly say that I'm not too surprised. This phone is beyond awesome...

Some AT&T users who are looking for the HTC One X are getting some bad news from the AT&T online store. AT&T is currently out of stock on the HTC One X at their online store. I knew that the HTC was selling good, not that good.
The HTC One X's only real competition that is available to purchase right now is.... nothing. Okay, there is one smartphone that can compete with the HTC One X right at this moment and it is the HTC One S.

Wow.
Yeah, I noticed it yesterday when I was looking for accessories on AT&T's website. AC has an article too:
http://www.androidcentral.com/att-htc-one-x-out-stock-online
I hoping they just sold out and there isn't an issue with the initial batch of phones.
Well lets just say a few days ago I was at target and the lady said they sold out so fast she never even had time to replace the plaque that had the "coming soon" shown in front of phone. So she just left it there since she couldn't keep them in stock.
Yesterday I went to look online to see which best buy had this phone in stock for a friend of mine, and out of the nearest 10 best buys around me, they were all sold out.
I think this phone even with its relatively low press coverage compared to phones like Tmobile's One S is doing really well.

Yeah, I've been checking stock elsewhere and it seems it has just been doing really well. I'm glad I went and got it when I did.
just picked mine up today just come to vermont lol
I bought mine and got lucky that I looked at it and the guy set it aside for me till launch day. Only had 2 in the store and the other was pre-ordered.
I talked to him the other day and he said people keep coming in for one.

I went to an AT&T store in downtown Washington DC the next day the One X was released ( I believe it was a Monday) and they were sold out.
It's more likely they've been taken off the shelf to push the new update that fixes WiFi and messaging.
I really doubt the phone is selling out. When I picked mine up they told me I was the first person to buy it. Sadly, all the other customers were just there for iPhones.

I went to 5 different AT&T stores yesterday trying to find a white one. Every store said the phone has been selling like crazy. Every rep I talked to was interested in the phone and wanted to buy one for personal use.
I'm glad to see this phone selling well, it definitely deserves it.

I've been to many brick-n-mortars (AT&T, Radioshack, Best Buy) looking for accessories and all the employees were asking me about it. Employees at stores that don't have "live" models on display, like RS and BB, even wanted to check my HOX out.
It's a great phone. My local store had them in stock on release day. I was in yesterday for a swap, and they still had a couple available. Even in MS this is a popular phone.

I just got this phone yesterday and I love it. imo I think the one x looks better but I love how compact this phone is for how big the screen is. cant go wrong that. as far as im concerned the one x+ still isn't too much of an upgrade besides its hd screen
I think you can't go wrong with either. The One X does feel good and solid and the bigger screen is awesome too. But the One S is so thin and sexy; even with a case. I went back to stock for the new update and this thing is even faster.
In my opinion, the only reason somebody would get a One X is because of the bigger screen. Even though the One is is marketed below the One X, it certainly does not feel or operate like it.
I don't think there will be a One S+. The way I see it, the One X+ was a small bump that gave the US a non-LTE but Tegra3 version. If you want the big screen, I would wait, but I'm really happy with the One S for the already stated reasons.
These can be found for $250 on craigslist. Buy it now sell it later without losing a dime.

I purchase both my Nexus One and my Nexus S on craigslist. Its up to the buyer to make sure they don't get scammed. I take someone with me so I don't get robbed/jumped and I make sure the phone is working and I can make a call before money is even shown. Craigslist is a wonderful place to get stuff. The only people that get scammed on there are the gullible ones.

I just got a new one from craigslist a couple days ago, nothing wrong with getting stuff off of CL.. especially since phones come with a 1 year manufacture warranty if there is a issue with it (besides cracked screens).
Just bought HTC One S from a "nice" dude I found on Craigslist. The guy apparently works for T-Mobile, and we completed the transaction at a T-Mobile store. I paid $275 for a brand new HTC One S. I wanted a Galaxy S3 originally but getting a One S for around 60% of a GS3 price feels good. It's a good phone for the price for sure.
HTC One S is a great phone, if you enjoy compacted efficiency.
This phone is great IMO it all comes down to what you like, go on YouTube watch some reviews and see what you think.

You can always rendezvous with the craiglist seller in a bank or ATM machines as there are always camera's there and you can verify the phone is legit and then get the money from the ATM and that way if you ever have to file a complaint, you will have the time and hopefully the camera captured you and the seller doing the transaction in the bank lobby

I, for one, am pissed. I just got into another 2 year deal to get this phone and they are talking about it's replacement already. They should have made it known, so people could decide themselves if they want to wait.
I'm not sure where you've been but in today's smartphone market, flagship devices are lucky to last 4-6 months before they are dated. The 2 year plan is not feasible for keeping the latest smartphone.

Transparency is all I'm asking. If the phone is coming out in 2-3 months, then they already are past the planning stage and may already be in the manufacturing stage. Either way, I think it would be decent of them to layout the long term. Don't know where you are but in America these phones are expensive and tied to expensive carriers, So I would like to know all my options if the ,manufacturer already knows they're putting them out.
If that's true I'm not really mad. The way I see it is that with such a short time between releases the M9 will be only a slight improvement at most.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
Where are you seeing information about the M9?
I don't think they need to disclose anything... There will always be a newer phone around the corner.
You know that without them announcing anything... And if you are on a 2 year contract, what is the difference if a new one comes out 6 months later, or a year later. Changes nothing.
And if you are going to play the waiting game for the next 'big thing' you'll always be waiting, as there is always a next big thing coming...
The only thing I have read about an "M9" is that they are cancelling the M8 Prime to focus on the M9 which will be released in Q1 2015......... right on schedule.
So enjoy your M8......... I know i am.
If you wait for the M9 you might as well wait for the M10. You'll only have the latest and greatest for a month or two with all the flagship phones available.
I believe I'm in the Verizon forum and if so they have the Next program. If u got it when this phone came out they had a special which basically every month what Next costs you is credited back to you so you have the Next program free! New phone can come out tomorrow for all I care and I can trade my phone in for it with $0 out of pocket. A beautiful thing for the OCD people that want the latest and greatest . Those not interested there is the standard 2yr contract plan for phones. Easy two choices so choose wisely . Don't blame the cellphone company for your choices on how u will upgrade. They have to keep up with the times to stay in business, the user doesn't have to, it's a choice.

Buy a phone on contract, root it (if possible) keep it in mint condition. If one day it becomes un rootable sell it as mint rooted and dance in the profit. Buy new phone off contract. Rinse. Repeat.

True but unless u find a real dummy ur never gonna get back what u paid. Still going to pay at least $100 out of pocket after selling 8-14 month old device. How much does an HTC One X+ go for today compare to when it came out? Example
I'd rather pay $0 out of pocket and upgrade when I want to and still pay only $160/month for two lines with 10gb of shared data. Just need to turn s on, unroot, fix tampered banner, flash stock Rom and return device. No one knows the better .

True true. The example I use for my case though would have to be the note 2. Once that got locked up on an OTA it started selling like hot cakes. 100-150$ for a new phone is perfectly acceptable for me though. I am losing some money but the enjoyment from the phone is worth it :good:

I did this to get the DNA, SG3, SG4, M7, bought M8 on contract, still have mint M7 and mint M8 and those will be sold to fund next flagship device of my choosing to buy off contract until I have my contract ready, or a new phone is out.
Personally, for me. I think I might deviate away from the HTC One series devices unless they make some serious design changes which I do not see. I don't truly have a need for the boomsound speakers and would give those up for a regular phone speaker and a smaller phone overall. (Just imagine the M8 without the top and bottom speakers, jeez, or even without the wasted htc logo bar) - sorry for off topic.
Dude, this is HTC WAY OF OPERATING. more than the others. I know, I was a huge HTC fanboy. I bought the Sensation, then 3 months in they announce Amaze...bought the One X only to hear DNA. I THINK THEY DEVELOP TWO at a time. I left for LG with the Nexus 4 then the G2, but get this, while waiting for the G3 I bought the M8 cause I couldn't wait any longer.

I don't get it man. There are talks about the m9 but that doesn't mean that it's going to be released soon. The earliest would be around January. Talks are just talks and they're more than likely leaks.

Does the M9 you speak of make your current phone any less usable? I dont understand this way of thinking. You could wait for this new phone but then again you might as well just keep waiting from now on because there's always something better down the line. Enjoy what you have.
Samsung, HTC, and Apple all release one phone a year in its line (ex Galaxy S). So the M9 in Q1 of 2015 is right on schedule. You're mad about that? I bet the iPhone 7 will be out summer 2015... Doesn't mean people won't buy the 6 this summer.
