Upgrade or wait?

I am due for an upgrade soon from at&t. Is it worth it to get the nexus s or wait to see when the galaxy nexus will come to at&t?

Nexus S is old at this point. If you want then wait for the Galaxy Nexus but if you don't want to wait then get a Galaxy S II.

Also money is the other issue I forgot to mention. So even though it might be old is it worth it for free with the contract upgrade?

At this point, I would be hesitant to lock in to 2 more years with a Nexus S. It's a good phone but even for free, I don't think I would want it after another year or so.

I just sold my Nexus S today. Got a Galaxy Nexus

..

buy a nexus s off contract if you really want one, I picked up mine for $100 off craigslist. Had the gs2 for a few weeks and didnt like it, just too big and the UI isnt bad but just prefer stock android. Still have my iphone 4 unlocked which Ill probably sell and wait for the next new toy.
Nexus s, think this is my third one now. Love the size and feel of the phone! ICS is very solid and a good over haul for android.

Buy a nexus straight out. They are cheap enough now. Keep it for a year then get the nexus 4 when it comes out.

Even better haggle the price / contract term down or get the galaxy s3. At least you can mock the s2 guys with it

[Q] What is My NS worth?

Hi all,
I am contemplating putting my NS up for sale. Not sure what I can sell it for though. Ebay is all over the map.
Here is what I have:
Unlocked Rooted ATT version I9020A, black color
Wall plug wire
Limited Edition back cover, real not knockoff.
Samsung windshield holder with 3' cigarette lighter wire
Samsung desktop with USB/wall plug wire.
Amzer soft cover
This is the NS that I list on my sig.
What should I ask for this package, and what should I settle on?
Thanks
Heeter

If even $200. Sorry to tell you, but with the Galaxy Nexus out, the Nexus S isn't really the hottest stuff on the block.

In Greece is still at the stores. You can buy ona 9023 (slcd) with 200 euros.
So i guess that a used 9020 (amoled) could be sold at 140 euros...

Koodo Mobile used to sell a NEW Nexus S (before it was discontinued) at $300, and their One V is currently selling for $175 outright.
With that in mind, even $200 is a little much. Maybe $150?

Hey just to be sure I didn't get screwed over.
Was my i9023 worth 260€ back in December? Do prices really drop so quickly?
I searched quite some time to find the cheapest one. It was also new and not used by someone else.

Cosmetic condition will influence the resale price. If you have a perfect screen with no scratches, and no scratches on the body, it should go for more. I wouldn't sell it for less than $150-$170, in decent condition, especially with the accessories/cover. Throw it on CL for $200, take some nice pics, write a thrilling ad, and see what happens.
... or keep it and use it as a dedicated "ipod/ipod touch".

Keep it and use it as a developers phone for porting roms

Yeah its pretty crazy how much our phones have dropped in price. I would say about 6 months ago when ICS came out they were easily selling on Craigslist for $300. Now people are lucky to sell em for $150-200. I wonder if we'll see an increase in price again when JB officially comes. People tend to want the "new thing".

Make a separate thread dude...

Is Nexus S still a good buy?

I'm planning on buying a new phone this April after my exams.
My budget is real tight, and it goes upto INR18000-19000 tops ($350 approx by today's rate). I have found A nexus s for real cheap, in new condition on a site. Should I go for it, or should I wait for the s3 mini? Nexus S is a great phone, and as long as it gets the KLP (5.0) update from CM, which I'm quite sure it will, I have no problem with it.
Please advise me. Thanks a bunch in advance!!

Depends on your definition of "real cheap". Sub-$150? Then I'd say go for it.

You can get it cheaper than that. I paid $120 CDN for mine. At that price, you can probably swing a used S3, or even a new Nexus 4.

Nexus 4 not yet released here. Imported at 30k. That's the least price atm. That's around $545....
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using Tapatalk 2

I wouldn't recommend it. It's definitely showing its age and even a Galaxy S2 would serve you better.

One vote more for S2. S2 is widely spread prices are low. Dont like the looks, but the size is perfect and it's much faster than NS.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app

I feel at $350 you would be better off buying an S3 or One X+ and getting it shipped to India. The NS is a great phone, but it's showing it's age.

I'd keep looking, I just bought one for $150 in good shape on craigslist. They were a good bit higher on ebay.
edit: like someone mentioned I have seen decent S3s for about $300, suppose it could be very different where you're at though.

250 for nexus s is too much I think. Ten minutes on sale sites in my country and I found 10 advertisements for the nexus I9250 for max 300 dollars (max price is for one month old). I suggest you to search a little longer or wait a few days. When new nexus will be released in your country, people will start to get rid of the old one to get money for the new (as in here, retail price for nexus is more than 500 dollars here, but nexus 4 its about to launch so people are getting desperate to get money)

Nexus s
You know it for sure?
It's a phone from 2010, so its a bit older.
I have the nexus s for 1.5 year, and i must say I'm still happy with it.
One coin, I have a nexus s with the "unresponsive touchscreen" problem.
Sometimes after unlocking the device there some unresponsive spots on the screen. This is easy to fix. (turn on/of the screen)
Its a hardware problem, but only some nexus s devices have that problem
When you find a good deal, i say buy it! But when you have the money to buy a newer devices, i should buy a newer one

Yup. Agree with all of you. Probably getting an SGS3 Mini. Suits my needs, and its new too!

Tell me where I can get a N4 for less than 300$
I have been looking for a replacement for my NS, that is starting to get old + much random reboots. The cheapest Nexus 4 I can find from ebay is about 550$, and the local shops sell it for 800$.
From what I've heard, it is pretty cheap in countries like Germany, where it is available from Google Play. I really wish Google Play would sell it's devices to Finland...

Is this unreasonable?

My office has recently taken a stance of "our apps are built for iOS first" so being on Android I have to wait 6-12 months to get what others already have.
I decided to bite the bullet and put a local ad up to trade my rooted One X with 2 cases (perfect condition) for an iPhone 4s. A few days have gone by and I have not had a single response. Where I live it usually takes less than a day to get a deal done.
I though originally I was giving something up, so getting this phone for a 4s would be a bonus to whomever responded. Am I crazy? Set me straight here...

I'm of the opinion that people won't consider that an even trade. I personally traded my iPhone 4 for the HOX I have now, and it was worth more as well. Apple products just seem to have a higher value.

True, iPhones tend to hold their resale value better. Just a quick browse through eBay, it looks like 4S is going for (ballpark) $300, and the One X is going for around $200. So many people will probably not see it as an even trade.
Plus, the cycle for Android phones is really around 6 months, where iPhones are upgraded yearly (another part of the reason for the difference in resale value). One X has already been superceded by the X+ in many respects, with the M7 not far from launch either. So even if someone is looking at switching to Android, they might see the One X as being almost 2 gens behind, versus the iPhone 4S, which is one gen behind, and likely won't be 2 gens behind until Oct/Nov.
Of course, value is subjective, and you might still get someone to trade. But odds are probably not in your favor. I'd think about posting it as a straight out sale, seeing what you can get for it, and use the money to buy what you want.

I traded a 4s for my HOX. That was 2 months ago when the prices were very close on eBay. I have owned and still own both iOS and Android, iOS holds their value.
That being said...HOX is one of the best Androids offered by AT&T. Even though used iPhones sell for more, it is still a fair trade. You will get a bite, it just may take a little time. All you need is someone tired of iOS.

Original Quote by OnePlus Admin Carl : 2014 Q2 Production Update Today at 9:01 PM:
When we started OnePlus, one of the first things we announced was that our product would be available internationally in Q2 2014. We're well on track of achieving that.
However, after our product announcement, we realized that far more people wanted the One than what we originally anticipated. Over the past few days, we have been frantically adjusting our production schedule to make sure that as many people possible can buy the One, as soon as possible.
In our updated plan, we prioritized for two aspects; time to market and availability of the high capacity model (in that order). We now know that people want the 64GB Sandstone Black far more than the 16GB Silk White, but we also know that more than everything, people just want to get their hands on the device as soon as possible.
What we've done is dramatically increase the amount of 64GB Sandstone Black models in our production plans, while producing 16GB Silk White as long as they don't delay the time to market for Sandstone Black.
Our production schedule is as follows:
Ready now - 100 for phone smashers
Mid to late May - Larger batch 16GB Silk White for the first batch of invites
Early June - Larger batch 64GB Sandstone Black
Later in June - Increased general availability, people who want it should be able to get an invite without much trouble in June

I think this message is clear enough and i hope it will not be delayed more to get on of this piece!!!

Man the pricing on the One+ is great but wonder how good the company tech support will be. I'm due for a new phone but LG G3, S5 Prime and Nexus 6 right around the corner.

Yeah but LG G3 and S5 prime is going to cost 600$/euro at least(like every other their flagship). Which is 2 times more than Oneplus One. I think Nexus 6 will be released later after August but who knows...

What I'd like to know is, does anyone know which retailers or phone outlets will be selling it?

To my understanding no retailer will ever sell the one plus one. You need to buy it directly from them. Though that's at least a couple months away.
