If not what other(s) do you have and do you still use them?
I also have a Kindle Fire that I'm got for Christmas and am still working how best to utilize it and was curious who here uses more than 1 Android device regularly.

The phone is awesome but its ruined by no updates. Samsung/T-Mobile didn't even give it the gingerbread update. If it wasn't for the devs the vibrant would be dead

I also had a HTC hero which was my first android. Sold it last month for nothing really.
I got an Asus transformer tablet also now. Fantastic tablet. I had the Motorola Xoom for only a few days before I returned it straight back to best buy. The screen on that thing is really bad quality for photos and videos.

I have a ZTE Blade also, that was my previous phone and firs Android device. On the way I got a couple of China tablets, one with the Hummingbird too, it was a great tablet and when I saw the Nexus S, in my country, being sold for 206€ I just had to get it.
i have 2 nexus s's and two samsung captivate's.
one captivate is in the drawer, just a backup
the other, just gave it to one of the kids
waiting for the google tablet now
Nexus S it was first.....but now at this time I have : SonyEricsson Xperia X10i, Samsung Galaxy SII, Nexus S and Archos Tablett G9 101 Turbo....
First and only love
The nexus s was my first android phone and I'm quite happy with it. My brothers have the Milestone and Desire HD and I have used a Nexus one, Motorola Cliq XT, Galaxy S , Galaxy Geo and Galaxy mini but none of them compare to my Nexus S Vanilla Android is the way for me and I recommend it to anyone who wants to give android a try.
I've had a few Android devices. There may have been an iDevice wedged somewhere in there but bah, never again.
Nexus One (sold)
Samsung Captivate
Samsung Infuse "4G" - daily driver because HSPA+ is too fast to give up
Samsung Nexus S (obviously, lol)
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi

I got a g1 that was my first Android a nexus s which
Is the best phone I ever had to date I also got a evo 4g
Which I use for test on roms and games
So I have the decision of getting either a nexus 7 tablet or a international version of the galaxy s3. I have 250 cash to buy the nexus 7, and for the galaxy s3 i would have to trade my galaxy nexus and $200 cash. Do you guys think I should keep my galaxy nexus and get the tablet, or should i trade my current phone + $200 for a galaxy s3? I do have a good laptop but its 15in so that's why I am undecided on what I should go for. Help me out guys!
IMO, get the s3 because you will get more joy out of it than a tablet and like you said, you have a good laptop so you don't need a tablet.
Sent from Failtrix.
I agree, go buy the S3, its a better choice.
Why would You want to have to carry with You 2 devices all the time (and the Tablet is not as small as a Phone is), when You can have one very good phone?
Take the S3 mate!
thanks for the input guy, i am leaning towards the s3
Buy the Galaxy S3 .
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium
go for s3
Go for the phone, the tablet will just feel like a bigger version of your phone considering they'd both be running the same OS. Not much of a big leap in screen size a larger tablet would be better.

i suggest you to buy a s3 if you like feautures on your hand ...but if you want the taste of jellybean immedietly go there....but i tell you will not use it as the way your gonna use your s3
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk 2
I would keep my Nexus and buy a Tablet
for me... i will choose galaxy s3
S3 for sure
S3 because it can replace camera and handycam.Nexus 7 can't..
It looks like the S3 is the better choice, but the thing is there aren't many i9300's S3s in my area, mostly just AT&T versions. How do those two compare? Battery wise, speed, etc.
I've got both and I use them for very different things. So if you can afford it I'd recommend both of them.

what do you use your nexus 7 for? If i get it I think my main use for it would be reading digital comics and probably watching videos on my bed. Both which I do pretty often.

That's pretty much it. Which is why I'll upgrade the Nexus 7 to the ten inch when it comes out, most likely. Comics don't play well on the SGS3, nor do subtitled movies. Oh, and 3D games seem to work better on the Nexus 7 than on the phone.
Galaxy S3
Galaxy s3 for me way better. if you get it try to rooted and get you a great pimped custom rom for it and enjoy it :highfive:
Hope you decided
Does anyone know if there is an iPod type android device that is running JB? I would need a SD slot and a decent rear camera.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
There is the galaxy player. Its not on jb and hasnt been popular because I think that mist people who want an android mp3 player just use their phone. There is also the motoactiv for something smaller. I know its rooted and old buddy of mine worked with a dev here and they did it. Again I don't think its jb.
U believe your best jb solution is a phone.

You could just use a phone without a sim card installed? Or when it's a CDMA phone just don't activate it. Lots of people did that with the CDMA One V. I think that would be your best option, a phone that isn't activated or doesn't have a SIM card installed.

Phones are pretty pricey especially those that are on jb. And there doesn't seem to be a decent used market for jb updated phones yet. I can use my nexus 7 but it's kind of big and no sd or camera. So until someone sees a market for it I'm out of luck.
Edit. Here's something. Does anyone have any experience with these Chinese knock offs?

BTW there are rumors and prototype pics out there of a new galaxy watch but the iPod has so completely taken over the mp3 player space they killed the zone which Microsoft threw money at like crazy. I don't know that there is or will be an android offering of any note too soon

Guys, if money was no issue, would you wait for the new HTC One Two or Samsung S5? Or would you still buy a Nexus 5? Either way, why?
I would get the N5 now, and once those come out, if you like them, get either one. I went from S4, to HTC One, to now the N5. Didn't realize how much I missed the pure Android experience

Why do you prefer the Nexus 5 to the HTC One?
I've had the 5 but due to glitches galore returned 2 handsets.
I said that if the new HTC wasn't round the corner I'd buy the current HTC One. It just seems to be a much more all round and solid phone.
The only reason why I don't want to buy the 5 now and replace later is due to losing out money when I come to sell it.
The One is a really nice bit of kit, but for me there was nothing it had that made it a must-buy. The boom sound speakers are great but I don't actually use my mobile phone to play music using the speakers; same with the camera, I don't use my phone to take pictures too often as I have a half decent camera. Sense 5 is better than sense 4/4+ but is still full of useless bloat; and while the build is nice, that's not what I'm looking for in a phone (I leave that to apple users).
What do you think about Galaxy S5 ?
Is it worth alternative for a future upgrade ?
No

It's a downgrade in my opinion. Touchwiz is really, really bad.
It depends what you want to do with the phone.. Are you trying to run custom Roms. Root has been achieved, but not sure if Knox will be cracked to get to the bootloader.. I would wait and see how it goes. The new HTC one may be a better route. I know you can use bootstrap to run customs Roms. I just don't think they run as good as when you have an unlocked bootloader.

I played with an S5 in Best Buy yesterday. Definitely a downgrade. It's still stuttery like other galaxy phones, the new touch wiz leaves a lot to be desired. The only thing in my opinion that the s5 does better than the nexus is the camera. The only thing I personally would upgrade to would be the new HTC one at this point. I played with one of those too, very nice.

do you really want to change your $350 phone for a $600+ phone with nearly the same specs, some more gimmicks and a fugly UI? what will you use the extra 200MHz for? you wont feel the difference between the N5 and S5. well, maybe the N5 will feel smoother, since the new samsung crap UI appears to be choppy at some points. Quite honestly, after all the issues I had with samsung, I'd never consider going back to their devices. nuh uh.
If I got an S5 for free, I'd sell it then buy the Nexus 5.
you'll get better response if you ask in G5 forum

Seriously. The spec upgrade is so minor and touchwiz sucks. Why not get 300+ dollars in the bank and still stay top of the line?

I tried M8 the other day (hasn't played with S5 yet), it was as fast as Nexus 5 while navigating through the menus and etc.

Samsung can cripple any device`s speed with TW, i like Sense 100 times better tbh.
i have both a n5 and a s4. sure, by specs, the s4 holds its own, and appears to be better than the n5. but in reality, even with the s4 optimized and all the crap disabled, the s4 tends to lag and stutter. it feels like a phone from a few years ago, by the amount it tends to stutter. it doesnt feel like a phone with the specs it has. the n5 truly blows it away with real time use.

I had S4 GE in past and now on Nexus 5. They are exactly the same in terms of software.
The only downside, a new version of Android comes earlier to Nexus than to GE device.

How a snapdragon 600 can be better than snapdragon 800 ???
First, do what you want....we can't decide for you. ?
Second , it seems its getting harder and harder to play with new phones....some may never see root, or there will be complicated hack ways to root. Yes, many have dev type editions....but development for them is slow and limited. (Like moto x say)
So, if you like flashing and playing, the only sure bet now days is a nexus. If you can live with a quiet or non existant development community..... Then there's lots of great phones on the way or out. ?
