Google already updated Verizon with news that their new phone will take the place of the Nexus so I believe the Evo will also take the place of the Nexus for Sprint.
The reason why is because of the new phone specs that leave the nexus behind. The multi-touch screen for one.

The EVo is the brand new hotness the Nexus1 is old and busted?

No, the Sprint Nexus One will still be coming out, most likely by next month. Only reason Nexus One was cancelled for Verizon was for the reason that the Incredible and Nexus One have very similar specs, but the Incredible has a few more advantages. They wouldn't really want a similar phone with similar specs. As for the Evo and Nexus One, they don't really have similar specs, one being that the Evo is 4G. It would be smart for Sprint to pick up the Nexus One as some people don't like the size of the Evo such as me.

I really hope Cellular South stay on top in the Android phone game. I hope to upgrading my phone by the end of this year to a newer faster Android. It would be nice to see CSouth with the incredible or Nexus One.
By the specs it's just as good.. and might I say better.... than the Nexus One
the N1 will be out in may or june.

His theme is seriously one of the best I've seen. I run it without Sense. It's freakin' great! And I've told him that several times. I love it.
As for the N1, I heard in a few weeks. So, I will most likely getting it. Sure, I'll have to fork out the money, but the Evo or Sprint rather will not be getting 4g in my area for a while. Granted I do live 1 hour from Atlanta, GA and that city has 4g already, but how long will it take to branch out from there? I don't know. Plus, I'd have to hold the Evo to see if it is too big for me. The N1 seems to be about the size of a phone I could handle. I keep my phone in my front right pocket. The Hero is a great size. But it seems that the N1 is a bit slimmer. I hope so. I can't wait to check one out at the Sprint Store/Best Buy. Sure, Evo has some cool features, but if you don't have 4g, it goes to waste....And Sense is nice, but I find myself not even using Sense anymore. And the N1 has a trackball. I have found it useful many times when typing and having to go back and select something...While using my finger to select it just did not get it. Kinda frustrating. So, yea, I think the N1 is my choice. For now.
It would be a good idea for Sprint to get both. As well as Google. I mean, I am sure the CDMA N1's are just piled up since Verizon just dropped out of the deal. Sucks cause I would like to know how many would have sold.

Sprint better get the Nexus. There is no way in the world I would waste my money on an EVO. It's just not worth it... other than 4G its not appealing to me.

If the EVO had no Sense UI out of the box, I'd be happy. But I'm through with waiting for HTC & they're delayed updates. The EVO is supposed to have 2.1 when honestly I think thats pretty lame if 2.2 is the new deal.
Sense UI just ruins it for me & I know they'll come out with an AOSP rom or whatever, but I dont wanna have to wait for that. And the least the EVO could do is put on a virtual trackball like the Legend... I find it pretty lame its only a touch screen.
Maybe they'll improve overtime, but the EVO is just not there for me IMO.

HTC 4G Evo Review
I can't stand the samsung phones, especially after seeing how they treated the Moment (worse than the Hero was treated by HTC and Sprint). Not to mention I think the Epic looks like crap, and the Evo just looks freakin sexy
Touchwiz is pretty damn ugly and it's quite pervasive in the Galaxy S operating system. Then again, there will likely be custom roms and lots of support for the Epic since it will be on all major carriers. The screen kicks the EVO's ass and it's allegedly quite responsive, unlike the Moment. I think we need to wait for full reviews of the Epic.
I'm keeping my eye on the Epic too. There were some good points to the Moment but the bad outweighed the good.
They're both too damn big. Who has pockets that large?

Both are intended for purses obviously.
lets hope software updates last longer than 6 months.
ya they are big..a damn holster would like so freakn silly for these phones.. hell the one for my hero with the seidio 3500 extended battery is huge already.lol
I think 3.5 to 3.8 inch would be my range as far as screens go.. any bigger and to me its like a mini tablet.lol
but like all will skip samsung because of one reason. they never have any good extended batteries.. unlike htc... where they are plenty... so might get a evo ( maybe ) around dec.. who knows.. still love my hero...to even think bout it.. I mean look at the dream..lol they got froyo.. the hero will still get support for a awhile..so why switch..when that money can go to something else.. like food,lol

the Evo will fit nicely in my back pocket. Hell, it'll fit nicely in my front pocket of any pair of my jeans. And it'll rarely be in my pocket anyway, since it sits on my seat in my car when I'm driving, and it'd sit on my desk while I'm at work, just the way my Hero does now
But the hero fits in my watch pocket also the epic is supposed to have a faster gpu. And I love my hero, but I like the idea of a keyboard for gaming.

im like the epic better but like what has been said ill wait for reveiws and see what people say on here and see if samsung will fix any problems that might happen like with the evo
I plan on waiting for the dual cores next year anyways, not eligible for upgrade may.
Sent from my Hero CDMA using XDA App
Both phones are nice and I think it comes down to three main factors imo:
1. Will Samsung Epic be rootable, and if so, will Dev support be equal to the Evo;
2. Do you prefer a physical keyboard; and
3. Do you prefer Sense UI over the Epic's UI
The thing that sucks (well, actually good) is that technology is always advancing and new devices are being released every few months and each release tries to out-do the last.
Personally, I'm going to say Samsung Epic since I am on a Hero and have problems using the keyboard. I'd like to give a physical keyboard a try for a few months.

Sent from my Hero CDMA using XDA App
Hard to say. This is how I see it.
Epic: Best hardware, good physical size.
Evo: Full support of xda.
Top-notch hardware vs. top-notch modding community, it's a very hard decision (for me, at least).
I'm leaning towards the Epic. What keeps me on HTC phones is the support of this community. If that is going to carry over to the Epic, there is no real reason to stay with the Evo. HTC has poor support for their phones which has been proven by their lack of porting Froyo to the Hero. Clearly it is doable. Additionally, if the Epic crosses carriers, we will see a lot of great minds working on the same phone.
Ive read that the actual processing power on the galaxy s is quite better than the snapdragon processors, so if that's your thing...
Plus the pervasiveness of this phone might lead to a lot of work getting done in the xda community.
Just wanted to see what everybody was going to get after owning their Epic, if y'all ever do want to leave it. I know many people absolutely hate Samsung after owning the Epic, but I still think they make great phones minus the plastic they use. So what will y'all be getting next, or will you just jump ship on Sprint all together?
But on topic I will most likely be going to the Nexus S, just because it's a Google phone, that or stay with my Epic. But if the Evo 3d is really 3d I might not get it. Not really wanting that feature. Actually really confused on what to get ha
From My Command Center... (aka basement)
I don't see a reason not to get a phone just because it has a feature you don't need, just disable it...
But IF the Evo 3D turns out to be the Optimus 3D with the OMAP 4430 then that is what I will get, otherwise I'll hold out for a phone with the OMAP.
I'm going back to AMPS

I'm swinging towards getting a Nexus S too as soon as it drops... I can't stand some aspects of this epic
I know ALOT of people say the Nexus S is basically another Galaxy S phone, but most Nexus S owners say its a completly different phone. So I think I'm going to get the Nexus S and test it out and see how it performs against the Epic, and go from there.
I'll know in October 2012. I may not even want a smartphone at all.
Not a Samsung for sure. To be honest, I really thought that the Epic was the best of the Galaxy S phones. And with all the hype and advertising money behind it I thought for sure a ton of devs would get an Epic. Well that hasn't really happened.

Well the internals are the same.... but it's a whole different approach to the OS and hardware.
It doesn't have Gorilla Glass, doesn't have an SDcard slot, and it doesn't have some of the other tell-tale signs of SGS hardware.
It's actually most like our epic though than other US SGS phones. It at least has a flash and a FFC (If you use it.... I find it a useless feature on my epic, purely useless). It doesn't have the keyboard, which is actually 100% a benefit for me. I hate how my Epic feels and I know I'm not alone in saying that my epic has a loose screen because of the sliding mechanism.
Honestly the way I see it is that the Nexus S is a slightly different version of our phone, with a little bit more durability because of the lack of keyboard and a lot more longevity because it's a direct from Google supported phone. That's the real kicker for me... I've spent hours trying to make my phone less like an SGS and more like a normal Android phone. I'm running a rom without a trace of TouchWiz, I have had launcher pro installed since the very first day I got it. I have a Gingerbread theme to make it feel less Samsung based and more AOSP-ish.... I don't want a single thing that's related to Samsung that isn't direct AOSP. That's why I think the Nexus S will be perfect for me.
Oh and did I mention AOSP and no keyboard?
Whatever I buy it will have a PowerVRSGX54x graphics chip. Has anyone seen the benchmarks from the iPad2? Holy ****. Yea, I will be staying away from any Tegra 2 device, what a bust that was. I mean completely outclassed within 2 weeks of launching on a mass market tablet. Ridiculous.
Just for those wondering, our epic is basically an iPad. Almost identical hardware. So I will be looking for a phone with hardware similar to the iPad2, or the true sequal to our Epic4g.

I have an EVO and I'm switching. Don't get me wrong. I love my EVO to death and have had a blast with it. What I'm switching to the NS for is the Screen, battery life, and updates. I like the EVO screen but the SuperAMOLED screen is clearer and smaller to a size that I like better. 4.3" is too big for me to carry in my pocket. Battery life also. I have an extended battery and don't like the added bulk plus you add a case on top of that? It's just not comfortable for me. Updates is self explanatory.
I love the EVO but I gotta move onto something that fits me better. I'm passing the EVO to my mother who has my old Hero now. She needs something else to cause everyone knows the Hero is well behind standards now. I'll be following up here still. Once that Snap v9 kernel comes out, you can bet I'll be first one to get it!
I personally would love to have one but I want to see how the community welcomes it. I know it's stock android and some people love that but I just want to be sure there will be some steady developers on it. I really hope sense can be ported to it. It's obvious the phone is better than the evo spec wise but I will really miss Sense if I leave the Evo.
Size, speed and updates make it worth it all alone.
My g/f pre-ordered the Nexus S 4G and she was the first one in my area to pre-order it (at least in that particular store.) I'm excited for her to get it and see how it stacks up against my Evo. I know being pure Android it's going to get the updates before anybody else. I also want to see how the screen is.

Worst. Excuse. Ever.
I'm going EVO 3D. I like my Specs but I prefer HTC software, I like our EVO 4G devs who plan on getting the 3D & hell I can't b*tch about a gimmick I haven't tried & a feature I can turn off if I don't like it. Oh & Sense 3.0 smells like WIN.
The Epic had a better benchmark than the EVO 4G too & but I don't regret not getting it.
Its really the XDA devs' fault that I stick with HTC, not so much the brand loyalty. :/
Galaxy S2 for me...though I'm jumping ship to TMO as soon as I can get kicked off of Sprint.
Purchased my EVO on launch day and major quality control (light leakage & b-spot) which Sprint or HTC wouldn't man up and fix it without any downtime on my side (at least loan me a damn phone while it's in repair for a few weeks); did not return/exchange it within 30-day limit due to stock shortage. First HTC device and my last.
PS. Wimax is pathetic in my area unless I'm standing underneath the sun.
Evo
Personally I don't trust Samsung, they may have brought us the Super Amoled screen but they haven't made any serious software leaps in ages. HTC sense steps up its game with just about every new version of Android. HTC definitely has improvements to make but I'll patiently wait it out with them.
On that note I vote EVO 3D(even though all I really want is the upgraded processor)
Can we toss the nexus s 4g in the mix???

In my opinion the phone is hideous, was thinking to upgrade but no way in hell am i doing that....
i got a feeling Samsung designed this too look like sh*t, to sell the galaxys2 and save customers for their new stock coming soon. This looks like some cheap Chinese knockoff. But the sad fact is they look a lot better...
what do you guys think.
EDIT...
NEW pictures released look a lot better still not feeling the soft key icons as much though....
looks like a galaxy s2, what did everyone expect?
the nexus s should have been a pretty obvious clue
It looks like a phone

The rear shot is actually the Nexus S. The front shot is Verizon's Prime. In conclusion, you are jumping to conclusions too quickly.
ICS in general is ugly..

Hideous is right. Both the phone and the software.
Waiting to see what Cyanogenmod supported devices HTC bring out in the next year.

True, for me it's an obvious fake.

I think its nice
isnt the prime going to be built by motorola now that google aquired motorola mobile?
i would love to see another HTC nexus though.. now that would be a phone worth upgrading to.. htc has never disappointed.. even the cheap plastic samsung-styled HTC phones are solid (ie htc magic)
I like my nexus one and nexus s... but that nexus one isn't gonna win a beauty contest anytime soon...

The prime was too deep into development when google bought Motorola for them to just abandon the project. If there is going to be another nexus after the prime then chances are it will be done by Motorola.

According to Google (whether or not you want to believe it is another story), the Nexus phones will still be a contest for developers. Just because Google owns Motorola doesn't (supposedly) guarantee that Motorola will be the exclusive Nexus manufacturer.
I really hope this is true, because I am sure this is a major thing manufacturers push for. They may not sell as well as some of the other phones out there, but they get a ton of clout and the developers are very quick to stand behind them. Anything that challenges companies to try to one-up each other is a great thing in my book. That is what drives innovation.
Pictures don't always do an item justice
The N1 is no looker when seeing it online--which i am reminded of everytime I download MIUI from their Rom page
But, in my hand, it looks and feels great-------
i always thought the N1 looked better in photos, in hand the frame is too big and the colour is not to my liking, the images show a more darker black/brown
IMO, the supposed design look hideous but i like the software though, colorful, eye catching definitely except for the damn home menu and back buttons. WHERE IS THE F*ING SEARCH BUTTON! >.< i know it's weird but i am one of a few people who uses it a alot. on my n1 the search buttons serves as quick autorotate on/off and search function as well. Another biggest thing, doesnt that phone in the photo looks 4:3 rather than 16:9 to you guys?
I no longer think Nexus is ugly. The new picture shows aluminium type of edge around the phone. The first leak of the pics prob preliminary. I likes the new pics by modoco.

you're right, but it will win any usefulness-contest among any Androidphone with its trackball
Engadget says its on the samsung website if you simply search for it. No specs yet. Just 2 and a half more hours till the specs are released >
The phone and the software are beautiful. What ever the op is smoking i Dont want any of it. I would snag that phone in a minute If it wasnt a verizon exculsive. I hate verizon with a Passion.
