With the 30 day return policy, should I just get one?

I have a Nexus 1 right now and love the phone, however I'm feeling a bit bored at the moment. I have CyanogenMod on it right now and although i'm loving the specs and performance, I really want a larger screen.
I also have an upgrade. I'm currently thinking of just getting something cheap at Radio Shack like the Inspire and holding onto that for a while, at least a few weeks, to try it out.
Has anyone else done this? Now i know that the Galaxy S 2 should be coming out over here soon and that's ultimately what I'm waiting for, however I just want a breath of fresh air.
Does anyone here do this? And if so, what are your experiences?

Don't forget about craigslist if you're in a CL city. Excellent resource for cheap phones. And keep in mind it will be more than "a few weeks" before CM is available for SGS2

Yea i know it will be a while; however you do have the option to just keep switching the phones out as you please as long as it is within 30 days.

Samsung Galaxy S Blaze?

So here we go, another Samsung/T-Mobile fail. Why do they always do this. They always bring out the same headset with just some minor changes.
Why not get the Galaxy Nexus already?
If T-Mobile didn't have such good customer service and cheap plans I would of cancelled a long time ago. We always seem to get the short end of the stick.
Guess what's gonna happen when this is released. Even less development, that's what. Grrrr.

Lol. Havent you guys ever noticed art and tmobile always get similar counterparts as far as phones go. Don't know why people complain and say they get more. We got amaze and they got rezound. They get this new HD and we get blaze. They have similar bbs and other phones. Just throwing out my perspective. Oh and stop *****ing and just don't buy it. Don't people keep phones for more than a year now.

The most puzzling thing is that it has the same specs as the T-Mobile Galaxy SII, but is branded as a Galaxy S device.

I'm sorry but as valid as these responses get thus is ridiculous. Just return the phone and wait if it bothers you so much. This phone prob won't be out for another six months. By then when you buy it some "better" phone will be announced. What are you hoping to buy that is future proof?

Yeah, this one should come with ICS since there is no Nexus yet, but of course it won't.
Like previous post it has the same specs, but this one will probably have an HD screen on it. #lame
I doubt this will be out in six months, I'm guessing Feb/March.

It seems to me like this is a dumbed down version of the GSII. First of all they are calling it a "Galaxy S" instead of Galaxy S II, and the screen is called "Super Amoled", but not Super Amoled Plus or HD.

i just hope this isnt what T-mobile is getting instead of SGS3, that will be my next phone even if i have to buy it un-locked, the Nexus has ICS but comes with so many fails in my eyes , not enough for me to sell my SGS2 and get one

lol first the skyrocket HD now this? What the hell is going on, there's like 10 galaxys out..

Samsung probably figured out how to fix our screen issues with the lines and blotches and decided that instead of admitting fault and having to fix all the sold phones with the issue they could just release a new model with no issues and a better res to make money instead of losing it... guess ill probably wait for the galaxy s3 hd blaze... n this whole galaxy fiasco is starting to remind me of the iphone adding a letter or number to the end without really even upgrading anything in the phone

Quality control - my 4th SGS3!

Anybody else out there having amazingly bad luck with your GS3? I just got a 3rd refurb and it came with the power button loose, and fell off in under 3 hours when I tried to use it. They are sending me a new unit instead of a refurb this time - priority overnight. This is the 2nd one I've had with a power button that came off! #2 just rebooted randomly more-and-more every day until I gave up figuring it out after a factory reset and "Safe Mode" start - it would still reboot just sitting there. *SMH* :silly:

How you get a new one... lucky

Jumped up and down, calmly getting elevated from first-line tech until I got the "customer advocate". She agreed that if I had gotten two defective "recertified" phones, I deserved to have a real (new) one. I had to agree to a two year contract, which in my case only adds 9 weeks to my commitment and they agreed not to change my TOS. Basically they did an end run around themselves, because it will look like I upgraded my phone again, allowing them to ship a new unit. *SMH*

Already 4? That's sucks man. I'm on my 15th RAZR maxx...

Do you suppose these type of returns are what prompts Verizon to keep the bootloader locked down? If I were Verizon I'd sure want to.

That took forever to get replaced even with issues every day like that.

mine has this weird line going down the left side of the screen
its only noticeable if you have a light source shinning on it and holding the device at an angle, doesn't effect viewing quality at all
slightly annoys me but im not about to return it and get a scratched up refurb phone in return

[Q] What the fudge is up with the companies?

Ok now when the s3 came out, every single major case company released their cases for it within its first week. WTF!! i havent seen any major company release anyThing for the Nexus 4, WHY?? The problem I see is that how is the company that develops Android, how is it that there flagship phone is not getting as much attention as samsungs or apples? ****ing Propganda Bull****!

The nexus 4 isn't available in retail stores, that's why

I know how you feel but that's the way marketing research goes. Did you know that Apple device's third party accessories are already available as early as its debut?

Though It sounds like a big hit here in this nerd forum,
no one else know what a Nexus 4 is.
This is why no companies care about it.

I'm sure one of the main reasons is probably that not many people have it yet. For whatever reason the stock of the phone in the play store has been so low.

Uh, the Galaxy S III is on every major carrier in the US and there is an international version. It was going to sell tens of millions no matter what. That's why there are cases for it. The Nexus 4 will never have anything even remotely close to the GSIII with regards to accessories, even if it sells ten million, which it won't. If the Nexus 4 does extremely well, then maybe the nexus 5 will have a bunch . . . .

Already stated but gsiii sold like 5M phones in 2 mos, n4 will probably sell 100K in 2mos, for the case makers it's a no brainer.

Nexus 4 already did extremely well, if Google/LG have enough inventory to meet the demand.
So the problem is not Nexus 4, but Google.

We don't know how many units they actually sold though. I am sure if it was anywhere near a million or so units though they would have announced something by now.

According to some of the vendors, Google did not release any information to them in regards to specs etc.... This is why we didn't see any leaks from case companies like we normally do. This is also why we're waiting now because they had to start from scratch when it launched.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I see an SIII commercial at least once a day. Google has yet to advertise the N4 other than YouTube videos. That's why.

Also, I think a few big case makers have said they are going to make something, no?

I heard from someone that Google didn't give any pre-release phones out to case manufacturers before launch. That would definitely explain the lack of case options. Also, the lack of stock on the phone is probably not helping case manufacturers get their hands on a device.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

I dont think this is a matter of blaming someone, its just google being to secretive with their Nexus line, and manufacturers have no idea how to roll out with nexus. I am sure we will hear something sooner or later....I really want the Case mate pop case!

When can we actually buy one?

Haha. Seems it was officially released but yet you can't buy it yet? Can only get one from an invite.
Any idea when we can buy one?

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

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...

And when would it be available in india ?

Hi Everyone, Not been here for a while, since I defected to apple... Anyway, really looking forward to this OPO, I think its going to be a turning point for some flagship market domineers.
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.
