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.

I'm getting it for $245 approx. Used to get it for 20k which is $360 approx.
Edit: Does photosphere work on official CM10.1?

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....

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.

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)

Why exactly do you want the nexus s, and not something else? Something newer?

I would go for the galaxy nexus if you also wish to get KLP!

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...

Just afraid that I won't get proof and truly working device..)
So for now I can look for a bargain on handtec.co.uk...
Any other suggestions?..
Swappa is perfectly fine. The Swappa staff highly regulates sales and the sales are done through paypal so you have the paypal protection. Also you can buy brand new devices on Swappa.
My source for all of the above: I have bought and sold devices on Swappa, just sold my S3 yesterday in fact

Definitely recommend this phone.. If you're looking for a phone with a keyboard, then look no further. There are awesome ROMs which have been cooked by an awesome member REV3NT3CH. Battery life with custom ROMs are pretty awesome.. Something between 20 to 40 hours depending on your usage. Would definitely recommend this phone to any keyboard lover..

Some of my ROMs do also have active display...I also use an extended battery which I believe I got shipped from Germany lol that makes it last even longer...I've had over 4 days on it once without it dying or rebooting on me

There's a guy on Craigslist looking to trade his nexus 5 off. Do you guys think it'd be a good trade?
Sent from my SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app
Not really. Note3 has a higher value than the Nexus 5. Best to sell your note 3 and buy the nexus 5 probably even get a brand new piece.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
have to agree, while the n5 is a better phone, the note 3 sells for more money
From what I've seen on Craigslist in my area (Washington, DC) the Note 3 goes for around $300-$320. The Nexus 5 32gb goes for around $250-$300.

You'll miss the screen real estate .... Note 3 is a better phone unless you want the latest OS. Better battery, larger sceen, better camera, expandable storage..etc
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
You're all wrong look at Swappa and locally on Craigslist, as much as I would like the Note 3 to sell more that's not the case. I sold my note 3 for $425, although some might be selling for $475+ people aren't buying them. I found a new sealed Nexus 5 for $380 on eBay who has overstock on them and in desperate need to sell and with tempered glass protector and case I spend another $20, so I pocketed $25 big deal. But ya no way Note 3 is selling for more right now. Oh and with bootloader locked like in my case I'm on AT&T (SCREW you AT&T) I rather have my Nexus 5 any day regardless of screen size. I'm just wish OnePlus One hurry's the heck up and sells the darn phone ASAP.

Because decisions are hard, mmkay? :silly:
You could always ask if he is interested in buying your Note 3 + cash. I don't know the prices in US, but in Europe it +/- 100 euro differences between the two. Don't know the state of your phone and the accessories.
