Yeeesssss, loft in its beauty. Feel it in your pocket.MMMMMMMMM. So good.

I bought mine on launch, and I still love. My only regret the is potential loss of tmobile, but the FCC seems to be leaning against that.

I really like it a lot. I think it's still the phone I'd choose today if I was in the market again; I've really appreciated the stock experience, especially post-2.3.3 patch, which fixed pretty much all my gripes with it.

I love it, but the only thing that I can think of to change is making the speaker audible when laid on it's back. I had a few missed calls because of this.

I love it. Started off a little bit slow, but things are starting to catch up... slowly.
I never get sick of the phone's looks. And getting the Case-Mate Pop Case made me even love it more.
Edit: Slow as in development.

I love it to death. The only way I would think of giving it up is if the deal goes through. Having a 3g phone with no 3g is lame.

how dare you question my love of the nexus

I love it even more.

Same with this guy.

my brother has one. ihave iphone 4. last week i bought one. used but almost brand new. not a single cratch with no visible gtid pattern on the matrix pentile screen. it was stunning.
i figured what the hell, i will try it for few days. if i like it, i will keep it and sell my iphone 4. if not i will return it to the store " store owner is my close friend "
so i played with it. i think its awesome. but i gave it to my brother since it was in better shape than my brothers and he sold his phone.
i use skype video calls almost daily. and i play alot of games. i figured i can live without the skype but it was a no go.
its funny how a small things can screw up big things.
all in all i think its one of the best phones in the market. and i recommend this phone over any andriod phone available right now.
unless optimus 2x will have a cracked bootloader, then i dont think any phone coming soon will top the nexus .
right now i am waiting for the xperia play. for the same reason, i play games alo :/

Interesting responses. I for one, do love mine. I don't think I could ask for more except 3g.

I don't see any reason not to like the Nexus S currently...the only drawback is lack of dual core and 4G. But no biggie to me...I can live with 3G speeds and this phone is super fast with custom rom's, kernels even without dual core.
This will be my phone until GalaxyS 2 comes out on T-Mobile

Then you'll complain about Samsung's delay on Android X.X. Just stay on the Nexus line and wait for the 3rd Nexus Phone.

Got mine as soon as Bestbuy opened on launch day, rooted it later that day as soon as Koush posted directions. Still love the phone and wouldn't trade it for any other phone available now or that has been announced/rumored.

I LOVE IT!
best phone I ever had in 10 ten years. none of them made me love it the way NS made me.

Leaving the Thunderbolt? Chime in and say bye.....

Looks like with Razr, Nexus, and Rezound coming out its bound to cut down traffic in the Thunderbolt forum. I will be on here till April when HTC hopfully releases the Edge or similar phone on Verizon which is phone I am waiting for. Feel free to chime in if you will be leaving and state forum you are leaving for.

well, verizon did grant me an early upgrade....
i already decided 'hell no' on the RAZR....
going back & forth with the nexus/rezound.. spec-wise i like the rezound more, but i like the screen size of the nexus....
basically though, i am going to wait until both phones are here & see how things go with them first. so i might end up staying with the ol' TB a bit longer.

I'm stuck between the razr and nexus. I gotta sell my tbolt first otherwise I'm sticking with it

I wont leave until my one year upgrade is up. And I may wait further if something really good is coming out soon.

gonna wait for quad-core phones, they are round the corner anyways
Hopefully they start to show up sometime in Q1 2012.
until then I keep my TB

Agreed. Dual core is only an incremental upgrade. I've compared my TBolt to an S2 and its not too different. I'm not even overclocked.
As long as CM9 is supported here, I'm not jumping anytime soon.

I'm with you man, very solid device and with MIUI available now I see no need to upgrade. A lot of developers are creating some amazing work for the bolt! New nexus is cool and I had the first one and loved it but I'm waiting too.

My wife is upgrading this month either the Razr or the Rezound. I am due for an upgrade in January. I am definately waiting to see the Nexus first. If it is $500, definately selling TB to buy Nexus off contract, just to save upgrade to quad core, which I think won't happen until the summer of 2012.

whenever quad-core is released, I have a feeling its going to be one of those last minute "surprise!.. we're releasing it next week!" sort of deal.
as for the TB, I've got someone offering me $300 for it(although with 9 cases & 5 batteries)... that's why I'm considering an upgrade(+ I have an upgrade available right now).

well I got my thunderbolt end of march so I got awhile. still very satisfied with my thunderbolt.

There's really no need to. I just got my TB in June and I'm very happy with it. Plus as other people have said I also won't be thinking of an upgrade until the quadcores come out. Hopefully a new quadcore HTC device will release soon because honestly I'm not feeling the Rezound at all. I think its rather ugly

its funny that you mrntion that... when I was looking at the Thunderbolt originally I remember the salesman saying "how can you go wrong with this kickstand" and demonstrating it for me. I raised my eyebrow and said "sold!"

Yeah, I will have to try to locate a non crappy "kickstand case" for any future phones....I use that thing constantly. Funny that it's about the one unique feature the tbolt has left in the verizon lineup, heh.

Ordered the Rezound today. Won't be home tomorrow so it will be here Wed.
Sent from my Galaxy Tab 10.1

Yeah I dont understand how a kickstand isnt already standard on every phone now developed. At least every new HTC phone. I use it every single day watching netflix vids on my lunch break.
I really want a nexus just for the increased screen space and AMOLED screen. I'm growing tired of the poor battery life with the TB and the thickness of it. But unless I can find a convenient way to prop up the nexus, or to get a reasonable sale on my TB, looks like she'll be with me for quite some time.

Upgrade Nov 1st

Just looking for some insight on phones coming out. I love my nexus s 4g. The gs3 sounds good.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda app-developers app

From all the phones I've used, I liked the Galaxy Nexus most (although I do prefer the Nexus S for being able to use UMS transfer mode, having higher sound quality and not having an oversized screen).
Selling my Nexus and buying the S3 was one of the decision I regretted due to:
-not getting fast updates and variates of stock roms like the Nexus
-poor built quality, even comparing to the Galaxy Nexus
-the stock Jelly Bean on the Nexus was a better and smoother experience for me than Touchwiz on a quadcore processor.
Seems like you are on Sprint, I heard the CDMA version of Galaxy Nexus have very poor radio so skip that, not to mention they always get updates a few months later than the GSM version. But if you do plan to get another Samsung phone, such as a CMDA S3, ask in their forum first if they have any signal issues.
So maybe the S3 is your best choice if you don't mind the built quality. The renamed HTC One X for Sprint may be a good choice, but honestly I am used to how open and easy it is to root and unlock Samsung phones, I can't deal with HTC and Sense, but I know I'm biased.
Rumor is Google will announce the new LG Nexus the end of October, but I guess its too late by then and the CDMA version if available would probably be till next year anyway. The LG Optimus G is supposed to have excellent built quality. Sprint will be selling it, it's basically a flagship device, the the Qualcomm S4 Pro chip is supposed to be super fast, they'll be a 13MP camera (for Sprint model, AT&T is 8MP), 32gb of storage, 2GB ram, etc. It seems like people like to slate the LG brand, but on paper it looks like a very compelling device.
Or maybe its time to move to GSM network where there are more choices to choose from. I'm looking to move away from Samsung too since their built quality of recent phones has really turn me off. I wouldn't blame you if you get an iPhone5 and resell it to get an Android phone and some profit in the process.

This. my next phone will be on a gsm network and will not be purchased from a carrier. I'm tired of my phone being held prisoner. And the part about the CDMA updates is true. Sprint got both ICS and JB several months after t-mo. If you want early updates, this is the carrier to have a subsidized. They get push notifications as soon as google pushes the source to AOSP. Personally I'd still rather buy it from google directly, but there's nothing wrong with a t-mo subsidized device either. The updates will come at the same time.

You can check the review for the LG Optimus G by mobiletechreview on youtube. But it seems the Sprint version won't be available until nov 11th, but preorder open at nov 1st. The ATT version seems better though due to having microsd slot and from experience ATT have faster network and faster LTE too. The Sprint version has 13mp camera though.

If you are used to the Nexus S substantial dev support (after all these freakin' years!) then the only natural path is really the Galaxy Nexus. Even the support for the SII has slowed down. I suspect it will be the same with the S3. I cannot stand mfg overlays like TW or Sense.
Can you hold onto your NS and wait to see what the new Nexus is all about?

I'm waiting for the next Nexus phone -since it should be right around the corner. If it wasn't for that though, I'd be looking at the GSIII, Razr Maxx, or G Nex.

No doubt that nexus family will continue a tradition with a excelent quality new device.
However my biggest disappointment of nowadays phone development companies is a price of our beloved engineering jewels. Any thoughts. How mutch it will cost? I'm a big enthusiast of high end smartphones but personally not ready to sacrifice my halfmonth salary.

Seemed more like a question to me, so moved to Q&A.

Lg makes great phones. Loved lg! Hate Samsung though. I'm going for either the photon Q(its a monster) or this new nexus. I juuust got my nexus from a friend.... had a Samsung transform. Horrible hardware, phone was verry verrry durable though. Masks sure you test it out before and make sure it doesn't randomly brick like most of today's hardware

You should use more high end Samsung devices beside writing them off, the transform is a very old and low end phone on cdma network. Trying to compare it to the Photon Q is like comparing a Ford Tempo to a Ferrari.

I got it when it was new, actually decent. Ask anyone and they will tell you that the s3 is plasticity. The s2 had a tendency to randomly brick because of the emmc freaking out, that's just to name a few. I wouldn't mind an s3, just saying the quality of Samsung has gone away. And if at all possible I'm going to avoid them, bad, no, horrible track record.

sorry for stealing the scene... i'm going to change my Nexus S in the next few weeks and i narrowed down the list of my wishes to the following 3 phones:
- Gnexus: would have to buy it used around the 300$ mark / will combine with a 2 years contract around 30$+
- Gnote: would buy it for 50$ on 2 years contract (30$)
- HTC One X: would get it for free on 2 years contract (30$)
What would you suggest me? i'm a Flash Addict fallen in love with paranoidandroid and JB and ATM my heart points toward the Gnote

[Q] Have things improved on the battery life front?

Hey guys, with 4.4.3. have you noticed any improved in the celluar calls power consumption on the N5
I'm considering both the N5 and G2 and was almost sold on the N5 (their price is the same where I live, the N5 is even a bit more expensive)
Then I read this review
http://www.anandtech.com/show/7517/google-nexus-5-review/3
I think it's the most accurate and unbiased review I have read in a while and the results were looking pretty good when I read about the quite bad call performance - it's pretty much the same as on the iphone 5 and I'm having a hard time with it's battery life right now.
I previously had a galaxy S3 LTE and it was so-so, but overall lasted me through the day most of the time. How would you comapre it to the N5?
Really battery life is the only thing that makes me think twice - I really like the N5 more than the G2 in terms of design.

4.4.3 is not out yet. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477886

im happy with my battery, i get about 5-5.5 hours screen on time per cycle.

SOT is quite relative. My iphone could probably go for 10 hours if I only use wifi. Once I go 3G and have 1-2 hours of voice calls it's dead. My wife's razr I is the opposite - not so good SOT but very respectable 3G / voice performance. I really wish they made an Iphone with motorola radio, bigger screen and dual booting android and JB'ed IOS haha. Pack a cyclone cpu and big battery and noone will buy another phone for the next 5 years or like... Ever.

Batterylife is also very dependent on the quality of 3/4G reception (radio/modem), maybe you could flash a different modem to improve call time/batterylife.

Make the necessary sacrifices , and anyone can have stellar battery times.
Usage plays a huge part too, as does setup. Really unfair to compare when we all do different things with our phones.
Here's mine. Not the average times at the bottom.

Question Goodbye Motorola (Its been fun) Pixel going forward !

Well now owning a Pixel i see no reason to stick with Motorola or any other manufacturer. I mean Samsung does make Pixel Parts so I have to try to like Samsung as i don't Like Samsung due to they Lock down the BOOTLOADER on all US models (U).
Pixel devices they can't.
I have three major reasons why Pixel is the way to go.
1.UPDATES.
I've already had three updates and a software update in less than 2 months.
Motorola nor a dev can keep up with timely updates like a Billion dollar company like Google.
2.Security.
Monthly but not on time every month Security patches. ill take a security patch once a month rather than every 6 months like Motorola and others..
3.Pixel Exclusive perks.
I love the now playing feature, hold for me,
text to speech, translator,AOD customizable on (A14), spacial audio, live transcribe, voice assistance, so many more.
Motorola stock features don't come close nor does CUSTOM ROMS to Pixels overall PURE android experience.
Conclusion I'm running beta 3 Android 14 with hardly no bugs and two months away the final release will be available.
Lets see if Motorola can one day give us want we really want. Google listens to the consumers I've noticed..
Im daily driving Android 14 and it feels good to be first rather than last...
Ill miss ya MOTO!!

Yeah, I'll pass. Considering I debloat everything Google from my phone the last thing I would want to do is have one of their phones. I've already Jailbroken my Iphone if I get tired of my Moto. Google can kiss my ass - that sneaking the Covid app bull**** they did during the Pandemic (and keep in mind my bootloader was unlocked, all updates disabled, and I had full control over the system files via root and modding without Magisk) was dirty and if they can do that they can sneak ANYTHING onto a phone. No thank you.
I'll take my chances with Moto until no phone can be bootloader unlocked. Just gave up my Moto 5g Ace (which I love) to move to Moto 5G Stylus (against my will) because my mainsteady is old and ready to lay it down.
I'm good but I will miss you. I hope to never have to lower myself to these locked down newer Androids that are harder to manipulate.

Already on June Security Patch.. Trust in no one but pick the less of two evils...
