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

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
The Galaxy Nexus has come and gone but it didn't intrigue me enough to upgrade to. While the NS is still a great phone, the hardware is slowly becoming dated and it's inevitable that most of us will get a new phone eventually.
For those of you who still have an NS like me, are you eyeing any particular phones that you might switch over to in the near future?

Might switch to a Samsung Galaxy SIII whenever I get too tired of this. I can see it slowly fading away, being too slow for some things. With Jellybean it looks great but doesn't perform as well as it did with Gingerbread. We'll see whenever I'm too tired with it I guess!

Not really. They've timed it in the past, but it doesn't expressely mean a new version I believe.
Even then, Nexus One released with 2.1 Eclair, while Nexus S released with 2.3 Gingerbread. Not exactly a leap forward as big as Galaxy Nexus with Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.
The first Google device was still the G1, released in October 2008 with Android 1.6. Old school haha!

Yes, but some version were incremental updates rather than absolutely new OS. The names changed, but very little did in the background from Eclair to Froyo to Gingerbread, as I said. Nothing stops them from releasing 4.2 and calling it Key Lime Pie...

had a s2 x for all of 3 days.. picked it up on the cheap cause it was boot looped and owner didnt know what to do with it.. sold it on a good profit and picked up a Nexus with change to spare. think this nexus will do me till the next google phone actually comes out or what comes of the new arm 15 processor
I replaced my my aging (plagued by search bug) white Nexus S (i9020a) with a Carrier (SaskTel) Galaxy Nexus... just got it today and was well worth the new contract.
Next Nexus. Can't go back to other phones after using this for so long.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
in june '13 my contract will drop, at that time I will find a new one.. I'm actually falling in love with a sony nexus... but apart for manufacturer will be a nexus
nexus is the only way to go honestly. im eagerly awaiting the announcements for the new nexus phone's ... there is going to be multiple phones instead of just 1 phone from 1 company. so far im pretty sure samsung , sony & lg are all making a nexus type phone. if sony makes one , i probably would drool over it. i love the look of their current phones , and something with a fresh design factor as such with vanilla android on it would be gold from them.
So I just bricked my LG optimus one, and I am looking into getting a new phone to flash/test cool new roms. Any suggestions on what I should go for?

The nexus 4 is my first nexus phone and won't be the last. And to be honest I don't think I'll buy anything else but nexus phones from here on. All these other android phones are terrible with bloat and ugly ui skins.

Galaxy Nexus rockin' AOKP MR1 Build 3 w/ Franco 364.....
Hello,
I only buy Nexus phone, first the Nexus One (live long and prosper), and now the Galaxy Nexus.
Usually they have the best support, good hardware and good price.
the 3 things I consider the most important.
Nexus 7 and 10 here.. Waiting for my Samsung phone to die so I can get a Nexus phone.
Strongly considered the 4, but the non-removable battery and lack of microSD support killed any chance of me owning one.
I got my s3... but really want a nexus now.. I just wish they had expandable memory. Sure a removable battery would be nice, but the memory is the bigger need of the two.. I think Google does that so you use their cloud services.

Currently still in my nexus s and ill change to the n4 in july!
Ill never get a non-nexus! ;D
I have an s3 right now...but in the future I will only buy nexus phones, because of good developer support and AOSP.

I do love the look of the Nexus phones, but no micro-sd means I won't buy one, it just tells the manufacturers they can get away with hampering us, so unless Google ever puts expandable storage on, I'll never buy a Nexus device. Flashing another phone to something aosp based is really easy, so Nexus goodness without the drawback
I use a Tab 2 7.0 as a giant phone thats also a tablet aka phablet
I sure hope by the time this thing breaks, Nexus 7 will have proper phablet support, or, there will be a 5" nexus phone.
Have a Galaxy Nexus and a Nexus 7 : Completely Filled ! <3
I think as you all! Better Android stok that have all those changes that slow down devices
My n4 is my first nexus, but I probably won't be getting the next nexus if the continue to skip important features for me like lte, microsd and a larger battery. I actually haven't been so dissatisfied with a phone before.

I know these threads drive people nuts. I'm a phone junky. Over the last 2 years I've had at least 4 phones. Although i've had my HTC One since launch day - coming up on one year.
I hate skins on android. That's why I root and install an AOSP based ROM on my devices. I also like battery life and A2DP Bluetooth streaming.
So...anyone out there think the nexus is a worthwhile upgrade?. I'm already running KitKat. Software is no advantage the Nexus has. However... Is the Nexus a worthy upgrade? I have read that battery life was disappointing at launch. Is it still bad? What does the N5 offer over my One?

I had the One before the N5. Nothing wrong with the One, but honestly the only thing I miss is the speakers. I personally like the bigger screen, and I'm getting better battery life now. Overall better experience, imo.

My 2 cents give the nexus the skip.
i had the htc one and the gs4.. sold my htc one to get the gs4.. then sold my gs4 to get the nexus 5.. i think the n5 is way better the both the gs4 and one.. thats just me.. this is my first nexus phone i love it.. i been threw like 6 top of the line phone in the past 3 yaers.. htc evo 4g.. htc evo 3d.. htc evo 4g LTE.. GS3. HTC ONE.. GS4... Nexus 5 is my fev phone out of all of them
I went from the GS4 to the N5 and haven't regretted it for a second. Out of 12 phones that I've owned over the last 3-4 years, this is easily the best one.
Get the N5 and keep the One.

So comparatively...battery life is on par?
Sent from my One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Let me tell you a story:
Once upon a time, there was a guy who wanted an awesome new android phone. He decided to buy an HTC amaze as that was probably the best phone on the market at the time. He got it 1 month after the phone came out on the market and it was awesome. He enjoyed using it for 9 mos. before HTC decided to stop supporting their FLAGSHIP phone! Alas that phone was relegated to ICS forever.
Then, his girlfriend wanted a new phone and he thought, well, maybe it was just my bad luck to buy the HTC amaze right before HTC decided to realign their phone offerings. The HTC One S looks very good and it has the latest snapdragon S4 chip in it. So he bought her that phone and 9 mos later, HTC announces no more updates after android 4.1.2!
Moral of the story: stick with HTC one if you want an obsolete android OS in 1 year.

Battery life is as good or better. I still have my One and mainly use it to play music, but the Nexus outperforms it in every way and also seems to have a better antenna than the One. Plus, the Nexus has ART which I know is not supported on the HTC One because of Sense.
It's a very worthy upgrade. I do miss the speakers, Aux Sound Output, and sometimes a few 'Sense' things like BlinkFeed and the features in the stock messaging app.
I was in the same Situation like you and i dont regret getting the n5 at all. I had the GpE of the one and still the n5 beats it by a longshot. Speakers and build quality aside the n5 wins everything

I had the HTC One before the Nexus 5 as well,and I love the Nexus. The One is a great phone, but the One has 1) A faster chipset 2) bigger screen 3) STOCK Android (yay!!!)
However, if you're satisfied with your One.. just keep it. Unless you're dead set on having stock Android. The One does have some nice features, like the speakers (yes, stereo speakers) and very good build quality, compared to the Nexus 5 at least, which doesn't seem to fit together perfectly like the One.
As for battery life, I would say it's about equal. They both have the same size battery.

Good luck getting a 90% working ROM for the phone once htc stops supporting it. The Amaze and One S ROMs all have major things broken on it, whether it is Bluetooth or camera or something else not working or not working correctly. So I would say software for HTC phones are important.

The HTC One does have the benefit of being a GE supported device. Can't predict how that'll play out yet. Besides that, you statement is accurate. I came from ATT with and Atrix4g... the hardware is still great. But zero software support from the OEM and all the ROMs available aren't DD material for someone that uses their phone as part of business.
Hence the move to my HTC One on Sprint/Ting... Just to find out that I should have bought a cheap used nexus s and waited for a N5. :/
The way that I understand the GPE phones work is that Google releases the operating system to HTC and then they optimize it to work with their phone before they push out an update. So updates still have to pass through HTC. If they decide to end support for the one, I doubt they'll continue supporting the GPE phone.

That's just it. Even though the UI of the GPE One is all Google, it actually uses the stock Sense kernel. Once HTC stops updating the phone, it stops for the Google Edition as well.
