Alright guys I'm moving to the nexus 4. its been a great 2 years with you!
My mytouch is going to my mom most probably, so I won't be able to mess with it as much (if at all). I'll probably end up on jellybeanDS for her phone, once the KB lights are fixed.
I want to give a special thank you to the following for really maxing out this phone through your awesome dev work):
Kornyone
Tbalden
SilverL
Xmc wildchild22
Scverhagen
Weekendsr2short
Blue six
Undeadk9 (from way back when)
Anyone else I'm forgetting
And of course you guys. There's a great community here. I'll be in and out of here and keep an eye on some ROMs

I know the feeling. I'll be getting a Note 3 when it comes out... I'm gonna miss my good old MT4GS and its physical keyboard.
What i wont miss is my broken back button.
The Nexus 4 is an animal of a phone....but I will be upgrading to the Nexus 5 very very soon. I just have to see what devs go when, because PsX is def my daily and I won't leave till that Dev does. But to each their own.

Nexus 5? I've heard about it but not seen it yet. I've seen the Moto X they have been calling the "Nexus 5"......but is it? I need to do some more reading. I MUST not keep up like I thought I did. LOL
As a "Nexus" device, do you suppose its price will be as consumer friendly as the N4 is? It's a GREAT phone but price IS a huge part of that beauty.
Well.....looks like I haven't kept up! Nexus 5

Google has already called for a press conference on Oct. 14, supposedly to announce the Nexus 5, with the phone beginning shipment the end of the month. Some leaked info points to them finally offering a 64GB model, ditching the 8GB model (so having 16, 32, and 64 GB models available), and that all models will have between 3-4 GB of RAM. Also, they may introduce a Lytro-like camera, as well as a 2700 mAh battery.

If the camera really is a 13+ MP Lytro-style, then it will be awesom. Lytro is a light field camera, truly amazing.

Just wanted to post my experience and hear of others that are also making the move.
Now I may have a totally different view than most, but Overall, this phone was pretty awesome. First I had a G1 on T-Mobile. The excitement of learning Android and having the first phone was fun. I've been fortunate to be involved in every dessert update. Finding XDA, rooting, learning ADB, all the learning of all the other stuff was awesome. Then I jumped ship and got the Droid Eris. Now shortly after getting it, I regretted the hell out of my decision. I should have gotten the OG Droid. But XDA helped me love my phone. Cyanagen, and other ROMs were awesome, and the Eris forum and developers were funny and friendly. Then with 2 months left in my contract and waiting for the Droid 3 to come out, I won the Droid Charge in the droid landing contest. I enjoyed the 4g fastness and tried to keep things stock, but I keep lingering on XDA and finally gave in. I couldn't believe how easy it was to Root and flash this phone. With that, I spent less time in this forum and didn't really post much. I purchased the TBH app leaks and didn't really come by and participate. But I will say that this phone at first was great, but really is a disappointment. Great cause the SCREEN, the easiness of rooting and flashing, and that's about it. The 4G never works when you need it the most. Don't get me wrong. When it works, its amazing! But those times it freezes and then goes to 3g then goes back and freezes, etc...RAM was not enough to do all this phone is trying to do. And of course the battery, but that's universal.
Now, I've sold my charge and have a prepaid VZW card for $300 ready to pre-order the Galaxy Nexus. My contracts is up, and I still have a new every 2 credit. I look forward to the excitement and fun experienced with the G1. This is a whole new OS, and I'm sure I'll be spending a lot of time in the XDA forums. I'm in total love with ICS. I was not disappointed at all with ICS. The hardware of the Nexus, um maybe, but you gotta be real picky. I think this is a phone I can finally have for 2 years and be happy with the whole time. Quad core phones next year, then by 2013 maybe HD projection phones. But this phone should be able to stand up to most competition till then. Hope it gets all the updates, and quickly. Jellybean?
I've got my money ready for the 10th.
I really dig my Charge, but I've been waiting for a pure AOSP experience on Verizon for far too long.
You traded in your Charge for $300 with Verizon?

I want it for the ICS and dual core. Not sure if I'll be able to afford it or not though. Can't really blame ya for wanting to jump since it is such a bada** phone in specs. I'm kinda so-so with my Charge.

LOL...I think my post got misread by yourself, or mistyped by me. What I was referring to is that I plan on keeping this phone for 2 years. I'm hoping that in the 2 years, what ever updates that happen to come out, the Nexus gets them quickly. Then I put jellybean with a "?" thinking maybe if in that time it would get it. Like I posted above, I'm in love with ICS and would be fine having it for 2 years. But we all know that google updates pretty quickly. I have no idea what they could add, cause ICS is great, but when it's(JB) announced, we're all gonna want it, and soon. Just like ICS, GB, FY, ECL, DN, and Cupcake. Ahh, Cupcake.
Man, I remember waiting for Cupcake and wanting it so bad. Touchscreen keyboard, widgets, and record/playback video.

Doing this too. I paid full price for my charge since my contract wasn't up, but it is now. So hopeing to use that 50%-60% that I'm supposed to get back to buy the Galaxy Nexus. Now watch them not carry it >.<
Kind of in the same boat. I'm just not sure I can deal with this phone for 2 years. I've looked around a bit to see what I can get for it plus the stuff I got for it. I'm more interested in the Droid Razr, but regardless I don't know if I can justify that kind of cost.
so it is almost time to upgrade and i wanted everyones opinion. should i get the note 2 or the nexus 4? they both look sweet!

Note 2. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Love mine.
You get performance out the wazoo, replaceable HUGE battery, sd card, multi Window, S pen, the development community is starting to pick up (the at&t guys roms are generally flashable to the tmo device), video playback is unbelievable, LTE is just around the corner, it's not an LG...
You can also walk into the store and buy one now. Nexus 4, maybe?
Downsides? The screen is huge, seems more fragile than other devices. Device size means that you will definitely need to play with one on the store before buying. It felt weird to me at the store but I took the plunge. Two days into owning before I decided that size was no big deal. It suffers from the Samsung device general weaknesses such as risk of imei loss and the goofy flash counter thing (these things can more or less be worked around). Obviously there is no physical keyboard.
This thing is awesome.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

I too have never really liked LG phones. And despite the quad in the nexus being a bit more powerful, the Note 2 has a lot more to offer in terms of features.
Note II because you can always get a nexus ROM on a bigger screen

Sorry man, that really sucks. Did it have tracking? or is there any way to find out at what point it got lost? But if it was sent in December then there might be a hold up somewhere. Most of the errors in postage happen around that time. Anyway, before you completely settle for the Nexus I think you should check out the Note II. I think it's worth it man.

That's sort of what I was thinking about. If I replace my MT4GS, I want a quad core with good support. I've been leaning towards an unlocked HTC One X or a Nexus 4 on StraightTalk's $45 unlimited plan. Finding a One X without a cracked or replaced digitizer is not easy.
Okay guys, if all goes well and I can grab the Nexus 4 today off craigslist for 350 this will be my last day on the doubleshot. I have to start emailing the posters to see if they still have them but I got the cash for my Nexus just have to get it in time.
I will NOT leave you guys out in the cold either. Ill still be around and will still do everything in my power to help you guys. And to think my mind went absent enough to think about iOS....anyways I hope to move some SWaRM stuff to the nexus as well

Well there really isn't enough phone to judge the build quality. It kinda feels awkward in my hands too, but I'm a little dude so I'll get used to it. Its super thin and really light weight, but being all glass the back tends to get slick if you have sweaty hands, and gets dirty really easy.
The camera seems to be a great on in lighting but it will never be as crisp as the doubleshot. Here is the first pic I snapped of my daughter
So I'm so far very satisfied with what pure Google brings to the table.
Later I'm going to look into root/su and one of the many 4.2.1 ROMs out. But I think I could stay stock unrooted and be fine.
The ui smoothness is about on par with doubleshot. That's all I got now man, I haven't played much

**EDIT**
OK so the phone is a pure dream to run, but the screen is no where near as crisp as the doubleshot. I'll take side by side pics tomorrow for you all.

I'm still skeptical on whether an enormous screen can really compensate for the lack of a real keyboard.
I have seen the note 2 in person, and my god it's huge. How anyone can carry that around as a phone is beyond me. It makes ANY other phone look mini in comparison.
Depending on how big your hands are, you can't even touch all parts of the screen with one hand. So one handed usability does drop a bit.

The bigger screen makes it so easy to type. I've had a slider phone for the last 3 years and its a breeze changing over to all touch typing. The big issue at first was the lack of physical buttons, and I'm still getting used to that

Ordered a Nexus 4 today off Google Play Store. 16GB with 1-2 Weeks Shipping according to email.
Love my One S, but I've had it in the back of my mind, and when I checked randomly at work 30 minutes ago, Well behold the things are back in stock for first time in over a month.
It was fate. I snagged one.
Appreciate the all the great Roms and Devs. Hope to see some of you over one the Nexus 4 boards in a couple weeks.
Nice hopefully they will stay in stock till the end of the week. Need to buy mine.
I was thinking about getting one. I probably would have a litttle bit back if it wasn't out of stock. I love the Nexus series as they are easy to unlock and have GREAT developers. Developers who actually code from SCRATCH
I've decided against the Nexus 4 because it is not that much of an upgrade at all to the One S. No more memory (maybe a 3-4gigs if the N4 handles nand differently) and no better performance. I guess I'll just wait for the next Nexus or the SGSiv. N4 doesn't sell it for me...
Have fun, now leave!

I have a HTC One already, but for some unexplainable reason I have this insane urge to buy the Nexus 5.
Have the money required to go out and.buy it but common sense is stopping me.
It's not for showing off reasons, on the contrary, people would criticize me for having 2 phones (even though I do love phones.)
My dad has the Nexus 5 and so I had the chance to play around with it a lot and I have to say, it's a great device.
Is having 2 phones just unnecessary or is it okay?
Also I don't have enough reasons to buy other than I do a fair amount of media consumption and I like to have a backup phone.

It's OK to have 3 phones. Hell if you keep it up long enough you could start a phone museum in ten or so years. Although I'm sure there's folks who have a huge head start on that. It's your money so it's your call.

Honestly, having had both phones, it isn't much of an upgrade in my opinion. Plus, the HTC One is Sexy and doesn't look like cheap plastic build.
yeah, stick with HTC.
no point getting another similar phone.
What floats your boat
If one phone is for personal use and the other for business is definitely ok. If both are for personal use then it could be too much.
I was on the exact situation as you and I having actually gone through with the purchase, I say stick with the htc.
It's definitely a side grade.

Well.....sigh....common sense wins.
Sell me your One
Nexus 5 Stock 4.4.1 (AT&T)
Unlocked Bootloader, Root, ART
Am I the only one sticking with a GSII still?
Moto G is a better backup phone
Why not get a N7 ? Cheaper than a N5, better battery life and as far as media consumption goes it's better tailored.
I can understand.... I have a Note 3 at the moment.. And ordered a Nexus 5 too with the intention of keeping both phones. Damn the urge.
I have an extra line just so I can keep my Nexus One as a second phone. I certainly don't need it, but I really like grabbing it on my way out instead of my N5 from time to time.

I upgraded my Note II to a Note 3, and, the next day, returned the Note 3 (paid a $50 restocking free), and got the N5. Never looked back.

The Google Nexus 5 came and went, but during the upcoming months, news and actual real information will start to roll in about the new Nexus 6, and I would like to start a thread about this information.... Rumors, thoughts, even your own personal ideas, or even inside information would be welcome....

This is very very early to post a thread like this, the new one will take at least 8-9 months to be released. Any news now or within 6-7 months is just rumor and speculation
What about the nexus 7?

too soon junior
If Google releases a phone, it's usually at the end of the year.
Who cares? Id still be using my Nexus 4 if it had LTE Phones have reached a point where they don't need to be better. It's just a P. ssing contest. The 5 is ideal with a good kernel. Some are never happy. Reading technology sites is to blame. They hype something up for 6months then forget and want the next as their sad jobs need news. Oh and it helps make pple insecure for the oems

So true! All research and development needs to halt at this very moment! Technology does not need to improve, what we have now is good enough!
Said no one ever.

True. Although for me I just want something new and shiny because I get bored. Arguably I didn't need to upgrade from my S3 but I wanted to. That said, it's not like I am looking for my next handset yet. Loads of life in my 5 left over.
I always get a little jealous when a couple of newer phones than mine have come out/are coming out. I have no desire whatsoever for a Galaxy S4 or HTC One M8, but the Sony Z2 is shaping up to make me a bit envious. Ultimately though I know my N5 is going to give me a far easier ride when it comes to modding it, stuff just works properly on it.

That there. That is why I buy nexus devices. You don't have to jump though hoops to modify it. I had an HTC one before this and you had to go through HTC dev and then gain s off and everything else. Heaven forbid if you need to go back to stock for repair purposes. Pain in the ass.

True, however it would be nice to see what the devs would like to see on their upcoming phone....and from the latest news, it looks like the Nexus 6 is going to be announced at the end of july. Not to mention, more than likely, with iPhone 6 and the Samsung Galaxy s5 about to hit in mid-end of April, Google will want to release something to compete with the hype. Every article I read stated it would at least have a 2k video display and would follow the lines of the nexus 5 with the upcoming LG G3...so another clone from what I understand, and if that's the case, it looks pretty promising.
