I see a lot of those on craigslist all the time for cheap but I'd think of want a 10 instead of a 7. But what about a Samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1. My little brother has one of those that he said he will sell me for 150. What you guys think about that tab? But I have been keeping my eyes peeled for a nexus 10 on CL for a while. I'd definitely prefer a nexus over anything, well I'd take an Asus transformer for cheap to but good luck with that on too huh lol

True jb is cool and all, but if your leaning towards samsung why not get the latest and greatest. You already had the latest and greatest HTC, then downgraded....

i feel the same way. also have my HOX up for sale. will be getting a S3. never buying a ATT branded HTC phone again
I've got the S3, GNex, and HOX and I'm also thinking about selling the HOX. Between the three, I find myself using the S3 and GNex the most. I love the HOX, but if I sell it now I can put the money aside towards the next Nexus phone when it's introduced. Decisions, decisions.
Nice OP! Don't worry its a great phone as long as your getting the GSM version...I have both the hox and the nexus, I use them both and love them both.

oh it def is. but this whole lock down thing is pissing me off. i already had the INT hox and was plauged with defects. then to the S4 fantastic but this whole lock down. i am sure i'll be kicking myself if and when S-off comes avail. but i miss the S-line of samsung products. now only iff the HOX screen was in S3 damn would be one perfect ass sex phone.
by NOV prices should drop drastically . but me i hate waiting :good:
if the galaxy nexus had better hardware it might actually be worth it for me..
but untill then i wouldnt want to downgrade just for vanilla android (as much as i'd love it0

And more people would rather have inferior hardware. Phone is already beastly as it is. Don't know how much more you could possibly want out of a phone performance wise.
An unlocked bootloader and root? Impossible right now on the new firmware. The HOX is a beastly device and Joe public has a lot to be happy about. However its not an ENTHUSIASTS device. AT&T made sure of that.

I sold my desire for £75 and will easily get £200 for the one S. Yeah, i want the updates faster!!
Thanks but no, I'll stay with the One S.
When I bought it two months ago, I wanted a 4,3'' screen, a slim device device, and a gorgeous design.
According to me, the Nexus 4 has none of this things.

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...

I don't understand. Please help me out. How can everyone recommend nexus 10 when there are so many problems with it? I bought mine about 5 days ago and its already crashed over a dozen times. I came here looking for something I can replace it with. I'm having many issues and so are others. People were expecting an update months ago. I don't even think Google acknowledges all these bugs. Did someone figure out a way to stop these crashes or something I don't know about? Please help. Why should I keep it?

This is how it is. Most people keep talking about the specifications which a device boasts. But in reality, there are numerous things to consider. Nexus 10 is an amazing device, but as you said, it does have its own issues. One should look for something from Samsung as even though little expensive, they produce better devices.
in dealextreme there are a lot, and very cheap
Nexus 7 is a really good deal. Or Nexus 10.

Question before i buy

Hello everybody!!
I just have a quick question before i purchase the 10.1... it has now been a full year since the original release of the 10.1 and im wondering if i should wait to purchase it or wait for an announcement for a new one? From my understanding is the Note 8.0 that came out this year was the "release" for this years note tablet? i would also like to hear your reviews on the tablet... yes i have read about the ups and downs of the tablet already but i would love to hear what you guys have to say!! I originally had the Samsung Galaxy Note (cell phone) and loved it but after having it for some time i felt like it was too big for my pocket, so i got the SIII when it came out... now i have the SIV... and let me tell you... i love this phone... but i hella miss the S Pen... so if you could fill me in on some stuff id greatly appreciate it!!!
Thanks in Advanced!!!
Apparently there is some new thing called the Ativ or something like that on the horizon. I don't know much more other than maybe around 700 bucks? There's always some new gizmo in the works.
I have an S4 also and its great. Get a cpen for it! There is a small tipped nonactive stylus made special for the s3 and s4. Not as good as an spen but works pretty good with smemo. Samsung or ikross makes them.

I love my Note 10.1. and I'm glad I did not wait last Dec. when I saw the deal I got ($385.00 delivered).
Don't wait, go get one. Why would you wait 4 to 6 more months and pay almost what I bet would be nearly triple the price of the Walmart deal now. Hey you could sell it on ebay in 6 months if you see one that you like more and if you get the 2 Year warranty with accident coverage for $36.00. (THAT IS A DEAL!!) you have not a worry that someone wouldn't buy it on ebay.
You could even save another $20 with this offer (Open a Walmart Credit Card, Spend $100 Today and Get $20 Back), and you get 6 months to pay with zero interest.
I may just go buy a 2nd one and give it to the Wife........ SHHHHHHH don't tell Her.
I still say wait , it will beb released by September's worth the wait imo, you will be ahead of the curve and the envy of your classmates, if the leaked benchmarks are true the thing is gonna be a beast, its only two months Wait! Lol
