I am an current iPhone user and is now making the switch to Android, could someone please shed some light on which phone I should choose. Thanks for your time!
first off, what's your preference in screen size? either way the S6/e will have a larger screen than the iP6. with the N5/S6e+, you can always turn this feature on...

...if you're used to iPhones. but if you're used to, and want to stick to, a smaller physical handset, the S6/e are the obvious choices.
if you're wanting to get into the stylus, then your only option is the N5.

well, wb...
I personally say forget the S6e+ and get the N5. stylus, stylus, stylus! even if you won't use it much, at least it's there. and the N5 is supposed to cost less.

the S6e definitely feels better in the hand especially now with my particular battery case. and I have hands on the larger side - i'm over 6'5". however, I have weak eyes, so naturally the N5 is easier to look at. also, I live off the stylus. when you're constantly dealing with people and need to demonstrate something by showing a screenshot, the N5 takes it further by allowing you to freely crop as you capture something off screen and/or instantly let you diagram something by drawing or writing on your screenshot. at least that's how I tend to use it, and very frequently, too.
watching videos will be a better experience on the M5 of course. things do look ad more sharper on the S6e, but it's negligible. when taking pictures, I prefer handling my smaller S6e. also, when i actually do use them as a phone, I prefer holding my S6e.

The only difference that I see between the two (T-Mobile USA's Galaxy S) is that the screen is .3 larger... Any other difference? Thanks.
802.11n on Samsung
also see here
gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3115&idPhone2=3069
802.11n on nexus also. I prefer the stock android look + themes, we can even run the samsung launcher.
Either phone is a great phone to go with. It all depends if you like the larger screen size and the manipulation of the UI elements from a secondary company. But as for future OS releases, the nexus one will always be the first to receive them. As time goes on manufacturers will release better hardware and thus the nexus one will become even more obsolete. Ultimately, it falls on the end user as to which device s/he will likely choose. To sum it up it all boils down to preferences.
The Samsung will be great for 3D apps/games due to its better gpu and larger screen but then it comes down to whether you want Vanilla Android or not as the rest of the features are coming on 2.2. Cool feature of Galaxy S is its ability to function as a remote for 2010 Samsung tv's

u can also give HTC Desire a thought!
well since N1 has Google's logo at the back this means constant updates (first to get em also) and more support... also i like thinking that i have a phone by a company named " high tech computing" + a google engraving at the back rather than this.

You forgot, Galaxy S also know as Vibrant, will have front facing VGA camera, no LED flash, 4" SUPER AMOLED display (better in sunlight but not much) Faster GPU, CPU, better multi-touch handling and 720P Video recordering without rooting or modding.
I want one, but I currently have NEXUS ONE... engraved... LOL
I'll wait until the end of the year for better super phones.
I have a Nexus One and I was thinking about getting this phone as a replacement. The problem I'm having with my N1 is the shotty 3G. It kills me, at times I will have full bars of 3G, and seconds later it will drop to two bars of Edge. This problem doesn't occur on my wifes phone(mytouch slide), she keeps full 3G. I won't even be using the phone, I can just have them sitting on the kitchen table and watch the levels of service drop on my N1. I've also noticed as of late that the screen isn't responsive, causing me to have to touch multiple times to get something accomplished, ie: when using the keyboard, or even trying to unlock my phone.
Other than those things, I love my N1 ... but I'm starting to wonder if the Galaxy S will be an upgrade?
Galaxy S It's Bigger(screen) lignhter better colors better prosesor better gpu records out of box at 720p samsungs easy to use touchwiz,
Nexus One It says google on the back lol

1 word, hummingbird.
noice that rhymed.
This is in a horrible location.
That's all.
No other complaints. No dust under screen yet, no dead pixels, no death grip.
I've had phones with the jacks in every damn spot on the phone. I always hate them at first because the prior phone had it in a different place and I had gotten used to it. My last couple phones were G2 and MT4G and they had the same spot as the S4G, so I love the location. You'll probably adjust to it and start to like it.

Yeah, you're probably right... I'm just glad I don't seem to have some of the other issues people are having.

i prefer it on the side rather than down. but the reason why it is on the side
well first of all you have a qHD 16:9 wide screen. what is it good for? WATCHING Videos/Movies and surfing the web
so because of this when the Sensation sits on the docking station, it is sideways so you can browse the net, watch a movie while it is syncing/charging, plus its more stable than a phone upright
I used to hate it when I first got it but now I love it more than any other location. It completely makes sense once you start gaming. When the USB port is located at the bottom, I always have to change my grip when in landscape view if I want to use it while charging.
I don't have a docking station so for me I can't prop the phone up to watch a movie. Some apps won't rotate the screen the other way.
lmfao, I hate looking for that jack when it's all dark and I cant use the phone as a flashlight.

This is the small things that shows, HTC do study and think before they design. Like moving the power button to the right (better for landscape mode). I'm used to on the left with my desire.
I'd prefer charging slot on the bottom. As a matter of fact, I'd prefer headphone jack on the bottom as well. I hate having 1 cable sticking out from the side and one from the top when in the the car. I would also kill for optical trackpad but that's another story.

I agree with you completely regarding the car issue... And a dedicated camera button and optical tracked are the only things that would make this hardware perfect imo.

Here is a possible picture of Nexus Prime and his 1,280x72 display screen resolution:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19736_7-20115325-251/might-this-be-the-nexus-prime/
That's 320dpi on 4.5" screen vs Apple's 326dpi on a 3.7" screen. I'll take that in the Super AMOLED plus please.
They better have a huge battery to last! Notice the touch on-screen buttons
My prediction is that the size of the phone will be just about the same as Nexus s but the extra space for buttons and probably little more on top makes the extra .5" of screen.
And when you think about it, it makes total sense because for movie watching, you can just get those buttons out of the way and have a bigger screen.
I wish it's not only released under Verizon as rumor said so.. it would be great if it is a GSM/CDMA compatible device

That would be an asinine move figuring iPhone is on the big 3 now. And I don't know where you read that. (I didn't read the cnet article there so if it was there...)
I like that leak better than the last that everyone believes. And that's just some words with Honeycomb buttons.
Of course this could just be the Honeycomb launcher theme with a background image of what appears to be info about the phone.

I really hope your prediction comes true about the size of the new Nexus because if it's not, I won't be buying a phone that's over 4,3 and if i can't upgrade to a Nexus phone than i might just test uncharted water...
Releasing on locked cdma carrier is bad move should stick to the traditional unlocked GSM that's if it is true about verizon
Sent from my Google Nexus S using xda premium
They need to release on all carriers. Also, they better stick to one version/name for all carriers like they did with the nexus s
love samsung displays
My wife got the Epic when I got my EVO. I envy her display. The colors are so much more rich. A co-worker just got the new Galaxy 2...WOW.
Not sure I like the idea of zero physical buttons. Though that might just be PTSD from the Blackberry Storm 2.
wow 4.6inch screen lol. this thing is gonna be a monster
whoooooa
I hope it isn't as curved at the picture makes it look
Love these leaks, the iphone 5 looked so cool
Oh that's cool! 2
other than the LTE features, its no real different than whats already available. Also why the 1.2Ghz processor. Most are releasing with 1.5

Id say real, looks like a authentic photo with reflections on the poster
Shows 1.2ghz Dual core Processor, with the dates 10/11/2011 or 11/10/2011 american date
Super amoled which we guessed etc 4.7" screen it says
I agree with you. Lets wait for HK tonight and confirm all this
one thing that i find strange is
Why are the 3 dot connectors on the same side as the power button? if u have it docked on the side how would u turn it on?
Seems abit silly which could indicate fake but its hard to call something real when its unreleased
But "what if" that is not a connector?
any theorys on what else 3 dots could do? 3 dots is pretty common for dock connectors
what if they are on both sides?
like ,for fingers, not to "slide" from hand ?

That doesn't make any sense at all. (No offense, just being brutally honest.)
The dock pin connectors belong on the other side but otherwise this is pretty much spot on.

The official teaser video showed the pins on the same side as the power button. The only thing I see that makes me doubt it is the lack of curvature on the screen.
i like it and think thats what its going to look like. we will see today and i work at a cell phone store and the nexus is in my cellbrite for like two weeks already and we get promo posters and cards and t shirts all the time before phones come out so why not and its china we all know the chinnese got the inside info on everything
why don't you take a few shots and post here to see those posters

What concerns me is the bottom bezel. It looks like there's a lot of black after the on-screen buttons on the bottom. Seems like a lot of wasted real-estate. In the leaked videos, it's even more apparent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py9TfZGie48

Remarks : I do 30-50 emails daily on S5.
It looks cool, though I worry about the magnet doing something to the phone over time. Probably unfounded though.
Otherwise, yeah, I've been waiting for some sort of S5 equivalent to this:
No one has comment... any one using it? Good keys for typing?
RodimusConvoy, where is your picture from? It has no S5 model yet?
It looks nice too

As far as I know, there are no versions of this for the S5, there's only versions for the S3 and S4.
I'm not sure who originally made it, as a bunch of copycats/clones have popped up. I originally saw it at Minisuit, but when I go to the website I see its no longer available. But if you put "sliding bluetooth keyboard" in parenthesis in Google, you'll get hits including where to buy it. For instance, NewEgg has it.
Though that doesn't help if you own the S5 . What you showed may be the only alternative for people who want a keyboard with the S5. And it doesn't look bad, just wondering about that magnet.
I've always been curious about this kind of case. I was looking at this one. http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/galaxy-s5-slide-out-bluetooth-qwerty-keyboard-black-p45647.htm
Sorry, I haven't used one myself...
EDIT:
On closer inspection, I don't think those pictures are the S5... S4 maybe?

Its an S4. The phone in that picture is identical to the one in the pic I posted. That site is pulling a fast one. If you look at the S5, those three "dots" are all to the RIGHT of that tiny bar at the top, plus its corners are squared compared to the rounded S4.
I saw the same thing at Alibaba. It looks like people are taking advantage of the fact people want a keyboard for their S5 by misrepresenting what they're selling.

Yes, I'm very late with this response.
I didn't like it. I found the keyboard inconveniently small, and the corners of the case that clipped onto the phone broke within a few months of use. I'm still looking for a keyboard case for this phone that will give me an experience comparable to having a true QWERTY slider, and I'm really POed that there are no current options available for one.
Samsung is apparently making keyboard cases for the S6 and one of the Tabs that approximate the old Blackberry feel. Not what I'd prefer, but I wish they'd do one for the S5, so I could at least give it a try.
