Im wondering if its just the sdk or the source. If its just the sdk its pretty much a emulator and software tools for app developers. If its the source then that would be perfect. We could start building aosp gingerbread for the Evo.
gave up on 8pening from my supersonic on the xda app.
Also im sure its done for the n1. The offical google phone always gets first treat.

personally, i just dont see how there can be a major overhaul of graphics and performance with such small amount of time between froyo and ginger.
but i hope to be proved wrong, we just havent gotten any major news about this iteration unlike froyos announcement of its super speedup tweaks.

why in the world would the outdated nexus one get gingerbread?
Because the n1 always get stuff first. Matter fact it was most likely the test phone for it. Its the only dev phone out. Googles offical dev phone.

Gingerbread won't be as big of a jump as some think. Honeycomb will be the big jump.

n1 is still highly used in alot of university tech demos and concept technologies... its basically a cheap small computer with alot of sensors
case in point, the n1 in rocket launching for accelerometer and sensor data, etc.
i would say its still holding its own very well.
i would also hope its the testbed for all future android iterations, because if it runs good on that phone, then it'll run AWESOME on our evo phones.

Why? They have the same CPU (well, we have the CDMA variation if you want to be exact), same GPU, and same amount of RAM. If anything the Nexus One will run better since their kernels are usually more optimized because they come from Google.
As for not being a big leap, I think UI wise it will be. Expect a newer, darker theme and more animations/effects. I think that it'll look like a mash up between Froyo, the newer voice actions pop ups, the ASOP 3d gallery app, the YouTube app, and Google TV. I also expect hardware acceleration for the UI to be introduced.
Speaking of hardware acceleration, I'm actually kind of worried about how the EVO will perform here. I had a low end Sprint Optimus S, Epic 4G, and my EVO 4G on hand today. I wanted to see how each performed when using the 3D Gallery app and the EVO was pretty choppy.
The Epic's GPU is obviously good so its no surprise that it had no problems. The Optimistic S has a past gen 600 MHz CPU and the same Adreno 200 GPU as the EVO (which really makes a statement: our GPU is in a $50 budget phones), the lower resolution also helps and it ended up running the app very smoothly. The higher resolution of the EVO and the Adreno 200 was as I said choppy. Simple things like popping up the menu were choppy and unattractive even when only 1 photo was in the gallery...
I really hope Google has something up their sleeves. I can't imagine them releasing a choppy UI on the Nexus One which is essentially the same as the EVO performance wise. At least I hope so.

The best thing that gingerbread will bring is VOIP using google voice number. If it works anything like the client thats part of gmail.com that would be cool.

Gingerbread will look nothing like that. That much I can guarantee.
If you've ever played with making themes you'd realize that it's probably trying to call a bunch of system graphics that currently do not exist in Froyo. That's why it's mostly solid colors.
No, No, No....It is not for the N1, it is for the N2! Well they might not call it the Nexus 2 but that is what it is.... Googles successor to the N1. Tmobile will have it and it will be released the 11th with gingerbread pre installed and it's a samsung with 1.2 snapdragon..(some rumors are the 8th)....Well that is the most popular rumor.. Google it. We only have 4 days to see if it is true. If it is, i will be all over it!! I've been waiting for a reason to go back to t-mobile. $79.99 a month unlimited (if you buy phone outright, no contract) and they have their 4g in my area now, sprint doesnt, and they charge a ton more than t-mobile.
a ton more? more yes, if you don't have 4G probably not worth it, but t-mobile is capping their data now

Not on their phones. They do on their portable hotspots.
Unlimited means unlimited, not capped. I had this plan a few months ago before the evo released, on my nexus. My girl got the nexus and opened an account w/ tmobile, got the same plan, 79.99 unlimited everything.
and yeah $40 more a month to sprint than i was paying T-Mobile is a ton more. I do understand that tmobile doesn't have the best coverage for some, so some tmobile is not a good option. but it is excellent where i am. I like the free built in wifi calling too, no need for a separate airwave device or whatever it is called.

Rumors are that it has been delayed -- that's if it even exists. It also might just be a near stock Android phone that is not directly supported by Google (like the G2) so it might come with Gingerbread but still attached to the same crappy Samsung software upgrading. And a 1.2 Snapdragon? They don't use Snapdragons, it's rumored to be a 1.2 GHz Hummingbird.
You can get a EPRP plan with sprint and pay $69.99 w/ the new data fee or pay $79.99 (also with the new data fee included) for the regular ED plan with yearly upgrades. With unlimited mobile to mobile it's pretty much unlimited all around and with the ED plan you get a new phone every year at a subsidized price. Not saying that T-Mo is bad but Sprint offers superior 3G coverage, competitive (at least in this stage - T-Mo's HSPA+ coverage is just upgrades to it's existing 3G network which will become a bottleneck as it's the worse of the big 4) "4G" coverage, and better value (cheaper on contract w/ yearly upgrades).
I also wouldn't be super surprised if there's a Sprint WiMax version of this Samsung phone. Samsung already makes a WiMax Galaxy S for Sprint (Epic 4G), and the rumored Nexus Two is basically a Galaxy S with a bumped up CPU and vanilla Android. The original Nexus One was also announced by Sprint before being axed to better push their flagship EVO 4G which was going to be released around the same time.

Thats new to me, i thought it was just the hotspot. So unlimited is not truly unlimited, nice. Something to consider definitely before i make the move.

I'm hoping for a thread to list all the release date rumors. If you read it on a web site, post a link to the article. If you heard it from someone, describe who told you.
I'm hoping we get an official release date announcement within a week, two tops. With t-mobile releasing on the 15th and at&t 3 days later, it would behoove Sprint quite a bit not to drag their heals on this release any longer than absolutely necessary. If this isn't on store shelves by mid-August, I'll be rather disappointed.
Verizon hasn't announced a release date for their SGS yet so I'll grant Sprint some leeway, but as soon as Verizon announces, Sprint had better not be far behind.
Me too. I really can't wait much longer (for practical reasons). If it doesn't have a release date by the time the droid 2 comes out, I'll probably have to get that instead.
So far the most accurate prediction I have read is that they will be released one after the other a week apart, so far that's been true with the first two handsets. First was released on the 11th followed by the 18th I'm guessing the 3rd on the 25th and the last on the 1st. As to which is released next I have no idea.

Tmobile version launches the 15th not 11th, so thats 3 days apart for the tmo and att versions
I called sprint on friday and asked when the epic 4g was going to be released. The rep said that she did not know about this device. She did a search and she said it was in her system. I asked if there was a release date and she said there wasnt one in the system but she said once they are in the system they are released in a few weeks. I hope its released this month.

cant wait to replace my tp2 with this beast
July 24th???
We have the Captivate on July 15th, now we have the Fascinate on the 18th, T-mobile's Vibrant is supposed to be the 21st. With this 3 day pattern, dare I assume the Epic will be out on the 24th? I hope I am wrong and it's earlier, but the 24th would be better than August!

I think you are a little mixed up. The Vibrant is the 15th, the Captivate is the 18th and I don't think the Fascinate or Epic 4G have any release date set.
Analysis of the Samsung phones
I broke down each phone myself with pro's and cons including the carrier.
I have a formatted file, but unfortunately forum rules seem to forbid html, so here is my text conversion.
=-=-=-=-Tmobile Vibrant:=-=-=-=-=
PROS
----
-1st to release (15th?)
-Cheapest to possibly own. Buy the contract phone for $199, opt out, pay the ETF for $200. For $200 more than contract you'll have it out right and can join Tmobile's contract free plan for $59 (all inclusive). For Highest use of data and text, this is the plan to get.
-built in memory for storage of 16GIG
-High speed internet capable (4G speeds)
-ETF of just $200
CONS
----
-no flash camera
-no front camera
=-=-=-=-ATT captivate:=-=-=-=-=
PROS
----
-ATT plan is most flexible. Can pick and choose from $15 data plan if necessary. $5 text for 200 msgs if you don't use that alot. If high street use is not critical, brings costs equal to tmobile or even the cheapest overall if you have a corporate discount which ATT regularly gives.
-same hardware pros and cons as tmobile vibrant version
CONS
-----
--Same negatives as Tmobile.
--can be expensive if highest use is needed.
--ATT network is pretty bad. been an iphone customer for years and it does suck.
--ETF of $325
=-=-=-=-Verizon Fascinate:=-=-=-=-=
PROS
----
-Network typically has high corporate discounts (i have %25 off). with discounts can become one of the cheaper plans.
-Best network overall in quality of calls.
-Hardware : Has flash camera, 1 gig more internal storage than similar EPIC.
-No keyboard can be a positive is size and weight is an issue.
CONS
-----
-Verizon plan can be the most expensive
-Droid X possibly has better hardware. It has equal video and most likely faster TI processor. Bigger screen too if you liked the EVO.
If i was choosing Verizion, i'd choose the Droid X anyday. See my next post.
-Family plans suck.
-ETF of $350 (premium phone)
=-=-=-=-Sprint EPIC:=-=-=-=-=
PROS
----
-Sprint typically has corporate discounts (25% here)
-EPIC is the most feature rich of the samsung family.
-Keyboard
-Sprint plans usually include Sprint TV, which is nice.
-ETF of $200
-best family plans in costs, if you want all smartphones.
-Very fast data from what i can tell on my EVO. But i came from ATT.
-30 guarantee
CONS
-----
-if you don't have a discount, plans will be the most expensive. Sprint will charge $10 a month for having a 4G phone even if you don't live in 4G area.
-Sprint coverage is so-so in many cities
-Big phone, thick and heavier than the rest.
-smallest amount of built in storage (1 GIG)
i wanted to add:
Ii talked to the sprint guys Sunday and was assured that while they couldn't tell me the release date, they did know it and can only say it would be in July.
also, wanted to post these images. The last column is closest to what the Droid X will have (3630 not the 4440). if anyone has updated stats on the 3630, please post.
Image not seen in some cases, so click here.

and click on image of popular SOC's of modern phones.
This is another image i found while reseaching droid x (motorola shadow) vs. the samsungs.
It looks like a quantrant test where the shadow was listed and running faster than any galaxy known. I'm no expert on this test, but it looks impressive. conclusions from this test were :
Shadow (verizon droid X) is running Android 2.1, and outscores Galaxy S and Nexus One with Android 2.1 which would make the Motorola Shadow the fastest device with Android 2.2.

Not exactly fair but ok, out of those phones in the picture you're saying the top phone is the Shadow followed by the Galaxy S? I'm only counting 2.1 phones since the Nexus One I have no doubt would win with 2.2 and JIT, but that's pretty nice to hear, and if that July rumor holds up all I can say is woohoo!

It is still hard to say which will be "best"...What makes the Galaxy S impressive is its GPU...the above pretty much shows how well the devices do without the GPU and only the CPU..so it means that the Shadow has a more powerful CPU in terms of number crunching...or the CPU is efficient for the kind of test....
From what I am reading the 1ghz OMAP that is in the Droid X is 20million polygons..so once 2.2 comes to both devices..my guess is the galaxy S would gain the most benefit and win out in the end.
I am for sure going to add a epic to my collection but I wanted to post this so you can see that the evo is a good phone. HTC just screwed up big time. I hit this score even with the fps cap. I have a fps hack but I only get 40 fps. My n1 gets 60+ with same hardware.

if it was 2.1, it would make it faster than next gen phones like the Sammy's and DroidX, which is unlikely.
Ok I think I know why the Shadow does so well..if I remember correctly the DroidX uses a DSP to help it process certain types of graphics...it is possible the DSP is working properly even in 2.1 whereas the other phones do not have their GPU acceleration till Froyo...
This would explain the above numbers..
I havent done much research on the N2 so Im not sure what to expect. But Im just curious, what device would you upgrade to in the near future. If the N2 isnt up to par ( i will wait till it is available to decide ) i would prob just wait till something great came out. The G2 looks great, but not spectacular. As far as Im concerned, the N1 is still a beast among the Androids....maybe Ill keep the N1 and get a Galaxy Tab
I personally just got the nexus a few weeks ago. I paid $450 brand new in box.
Tossled with the idea of selling it, and also had a buyer, but I decided to keep it. For someone like me, its a great starter phone to learn android on without the worry of bricking it (done that with the jasjar in the past) and I think its slim as hell.
I'd wait for something thats as slim, and maybe even that foldable Amoled screen in the Samsung video (just kidding).
When I do upgrade to a thin Samsung I will still keep the Nexy. Even if it means saving up longer for a $480 phone. The nexus is just a collectors piece for a techie like me that I'd like to keep framed someday, in a display case. even if it won't be worth anything in my lifetime.
Cheers.
Another great thing about the N1 is the built in tethering and WiFi hotspot.
ATT unlimited data plan + free wifi hotspot and tethering= no brainer.
The build quality is the sugar on top.
and just for the sake of arguing, let's say the Nexus S comes out available on ATT: I can guarantee it will be without the hotspot and tethering options. That was added to the N1 after the fact via OS upgrade. No way ATT will ever allow that again, imo. Not for free the way it is now.
Being compatible with ATT 3G and having free hotspot and tethering is a once in a lifetime thing. I'm going to get me the wifi only Galaxy tab and use it ANYWHERE I want via N1 wifi hotspot...imagine THAT!

I asked about this before saying that if the Nexus S is sold at T-Mobile/Att stores then they are going to have the IMEI #s and will block the phones from using web-2-go type of dumbphone data plans (the best feature of the N1) and also might have some control over OS features like tethering?
One guy on here said that the Nexus S might be sold through BestBuy / Walmart / RadioShack instead of T-mobile / Att stores and might bypass the carriers again like the original N1 did so that T-Mobile/Att wont have any say on what the phone can or can't do.
Here's hoping the NexusS never EVER is sold at a T-Mobile/Att store

yeah I'm running one but that is not the same as it coming stock, which is what one has to assume, since not everyone will be willing or able to root.

With the way ATT is clamping down on data(no more unlimited data for new customers) I would be shocked if another device is ever ATT compatible and also contain free hotspot and tethering, no-matter where it is sold. If I'm wrong, I might get the NS given the dual core processor. That MIGHT be enough for me to overlook the build quality. I certainly agree with you regarding not selling the NS thru ATT/tmobile stores. Fudge them.
I'd also like to wait and see the battery life under the new dual processor phones before plunging into them.
I think someone made a worthy mention in another thread: phone technology is advancing, but is battery technology advancing too?
I hope it will tho in the future

Processors are also getting much more energy efficient, plus having a fast CPU without any CPU intensive apps (most apps would run fine on a single core 100-200MHz CPU) makes it more efficient in itself.
Edit: TBH, the Nexus S is really the only "must have" phone. If it has the Orion chip it'll compete with everything else through early 2012. You might seem some advancements in camera performance, maybe more RAM/ROM, but spec-wise, what else would there be to improve upon? Then there's the fact that all other flagship phones will be running Touchwiz/Sense/etc. and will be at the mercy of the OEMs/Carriers to receive future support/updates.

The Nexus is a great phone, but I want HSPA+ so I'd have to say pick up a G2 on Craigslist. They are under $400.00 already and dropping.
If you've had your Nexus a while and are just itching for something different thats what I'd get.
I mean if Nexus S is HSPA+ I will be getting one, if not then probably a G2.
Okay you're right but other than that I'd stay with the Nexus One.
Atleast that's what I'm doing for now. We don't even have HSPA+ or LTE or whatever here yet, haha
Samsung said they are releasing a dualcore, 4" Super AMOLED 2 (yep, 2) MONSTAH first quarter of 2011.
That's what I'm waiting for. If you're spending 500+ bucks, might as well spend it good.

With the way ATT is clamping down on data(no more unlimited data for new customers) I would be shocked if another device is ever ATT compatible and also contain free hotspot and tethering, no-matter where it is sold. If I'm wrong, I might get the NS given the dual core processor. That MIGHT be enough for me to overlook the build quality. I certainly agree with you regarding not selling the NS thru ATT/tmobile stores. Fudge them.

Vibrant has ATT radio so that might work
Keeping the Nexus One for now. Will think about the Ns if it's build is solid & has HSPA+

If we get a Samsung built unbranded google phone with an Orion processor it'll be the nexus successor hands down, it'll have the best internals and be completely shrouded in controversy just like the N1. Either way if the Orion is there I'm buying it.

Better touch screen, better 3G radio performance/location (maybe even dual radios like I think it's Nokia that does it). Better headjack (recessed headjack = dumb idea, it failed miserably on the first iPhone for a reason). Better gaming performance (which would come as part of the Orion Processor).
I love my N1, but it's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination.
Snapdragon 3rd generation HTC Phone
Hey guys, this is my first post on these forums.
Lately, I have been trying to figure out if I should upgrade to the Atrix now, or wait until the iPhone 5 comes out. Right now I have an iPhone 3GS. Android in general has been intriguing me. I've had an iPhone since it first came out, and have said since that I could never imagine using any other type of phone, but right now I think I'd welcome the change. I just don't know if I should upgrade now or not.
Obviously, the next iPhone will have the dual-core A5 processor, possibly 4G, a bigger screen, and a better camera. It just comes down to OS.
AT&T is the worst carrier of Android phones. But the Atrix looks really good. It hits that sweet spot of screen size and it won't look like I'm holding a brick to my face every time I make a phone call.
If I were to get the Atrix I'd root it and put Gingerblur on it. I love stock Android. If the LG G2X was on AT&T I'd jump right on it. That phone looks beautiful.
I just need help deciding if I should either:
1) Upgrade soon and get the Atrix.
2) Wait for the iPhone 5.
3) Wait for an even better Android phone to be released on AT&T.
My requirements for upgrading are for it to have 4G and probably not a Samsung device, because I've heard they take the longest to upgrade. Like I said, I love stock Android, but I also like HTC Sense and my least favorite is Motoblur. However I don't find this as much of an issue since it can be changed using Gingerblur.
Any opinions would be appreciated, especially from iPhone converts.
Thanks!
I got a IPhone 4g from bell, was 149.99 at BestBuy (canada)
Jailbroke it, Played around with the camera/pictures. Even though its jail broken it still has limitations
Got BORING fast...Two days after the purchase I returned it and picked up an atrix.
This thing is not fully cracked open yet (development with the bootloader.)
Atrix > Iphone
Atrix has a bigger and better community I find compare to Itouch/Iphone websites. Once this bootloader is cracked open. It’s going to be pouring on these forums of New Apps and hardware tweaks etc.

IPhone 5g WILL be more secure than the IPad 2 and the IPhone 4g 4.3.1 update.
Causing jailbreaking harder to accomplish.
I used to jailbreak but haven't done it in a long time. Too much hassle. I always get worried about freezing my phone and then spending hours restoring and getting everything back into place.
Android not even being rooted is more open than iOS.
By the way, I have the unlimited data plan on my iPhone. If I get the Atrix, can I keep it?

Yes, you can keep your unlimited data. Don't let any salespeople tell you anything else. And no special 4g data plan crap.

for you i would think you should get an inspire just because
1) it has sense
2)it has a slight ios feel so their won't be a huge learning curve
3)can load custom ROM'S so it is more future-proof
4)has a WAY BETTER camera
5)battery life isn't to bad if you use a good kernel
6)has better support than the atrix
those are the reasons i think that you would like the inspire and are also the reasons i want an inspire instead of the atrix except #2 because after using android im never going back to ios
Well, two things. If I get the unlimited data, can I also get the 200 text for $5? Or will I only be able to get the 1000 text for $10?
And I don't really want the Inspire because it's just too big, and I know it's silly, but I want a device with a dual-core processor.
I was pretty much in your situation a few weeks ago. I was coming from an iPhone 3G and decided to go with the Atrix. I checked out all the new phones, and the Atrix was the best option.
In my opinion this is a really nice, quality phone. Now that I have had it for a week or so, I can definitely say I am glad I made the switch to Android. While it does take a little getting used to, it is just sooo nice being able to have some actual control. One thing I will say though, is that Motoblur is pretty terrible. It sounds like you already plan on taking care of that though if you get the phone.
My advice would be to grab an Atrix from Amazon Wireless for $99, you won't be disappointed. The iOS is just so boring in comparison, and I doubt that whatever the iPhone 5 uses will be much of a departure from what it is currently running.
Edit: I saw somewhere that Best Buy was having a sale for $29.99, in case that may sway your decision one way or the other.

Amazon only has it for $149. Bestbuy has it for $29 only for new customers, but I can get it for $99 from them.

I have the Captivate since day 1. I have been saving my upgrade for an awesome Android phone, like SGS2 or Infuse. The issue there is that there is no exact release date yet and I'm freaking tired of waiting cause this Captivate is crap now!
This is what I did tonight.....I saw Best Buy has the Atrix on sale and I think the Inspire is still on sale, not sure. I asked if I would lose my unlimited data and if I would be charged any restocking fee if I return the phone within the 30 days. They answered NO for both. So I immediately bought the Atrix! Now I have a brand new phone for 30 days while I wait for any updates on the SGS2 and Infuse lol

Both the Infuse and the SGS2 are just too big. The biggest things holding me back from the Atrix is Motoblur and the camera.
Since you upgraded and kept your unlimited data, what text messaging plan do you have? My dad only wants to upgrade as long as he doesnt have to spend more on the bill, so I'd prefer if it stayed at $35.

You dont have to change anything on your current plan. I asked the rep at best buy and he told me everything will remain exactly as I had it. He only had to change a code on my unlimited data cause of the 4G. I have the unlimited text for family cause I have a family plan. I've always had unlimited text though even when I had my own individual account. It's a good thing to have the unlimited texting plan because it includes unlimited calling to ANY mobile (not sure if you knew that). So that allowed me to lower my minutes plan and save money in the process lol

While this at first glance appears to be more Apple happy news, I think this is great news for all Sprint users as it will drive more business Sprint's way. As they grow and become more competitive in the market prices will stabilize across the board for all carriers and drive the US Cell Market away from the Duopoly that it is headed for. If this report proves true it's a huge win for Sprint and I say thumbs up to Hesse.
Well...assuming Sprint will get the next Nexus, this means they'll be releasing the iPhone, SGS2, and Nexus Prime all within (possibly) a month of each other. Worst case...3 months.
If this is the case, this may crush my dream of Google buying Sprint

But this would be a great thing for sprint...maybe not the customers...I don't think they're network can handle this. We would all get slow data speeds/crappy call quality...and the giant amount of att/verizon users who want unlimited data is even worse.

This made my wife's day...
Of course, I told her that I don't support iPhones...
There's been scuttlebutt about this for a while. I agree with other posters...if it helps Sprint, great, but I have zero interest in it and don't like the potential effects it may have on the rest of Sprint's network. Also hope it's not bad for their other partnerships.
It would be hilarious if they kept it at 3G though. And the Appleheads or Jobs dickriders or whatever you call them wouldn't even care...many of them think AT&T and Verizon iPhones already ARE 4G. (chortle)
I would be tempted to buy the iphone5 but i'm in love with the android now, and any iphone app looks 100x better on the ipad.
I don't usually post more than once from work but this article needs to be added here.
http://www.mobiledia.com/news/104313.html
Maybe Sprint getting the iPhone is a sign that Apple is becoming frustrated with poor network and unresponsive customer service from AT&T.
As for the overload of the network with an influx of iPhone users, it won't hit Sprint for several years, especially considering how many iTards are stuck in contracts still, and don't have the money to cough up 300-400 per device every couple of years. ALSO this may speed the roll out of LTE as I am sure that Apple wants a 4G device, but would not likely settle for WiMax as producing not only CDMA/GSM but LTE/WiMax as well would strain their manufacturing and cut into their all important profit margin. WiMax is the obvious odd man out.
This is mostly very good news for us. It'll keep the people who want an iPhone from leaving Sprint and bolster Sprint's marketshare which can only help us. Also it may drive Google to ensure the next Nexus phone launches on every network that has an iPhone, making the Nexus Prime (or whatever it's called) more likely for us. And since that's essentially what I'm waiting on to replace my Epic, I like my odds better now.
Only downside: the iPhone has been said to be the cause of AT&T's network troubles and did have an effect on Verizon as well. I'm concerned that it may force Sprint to reconsider their data plans which may hurt us, or the additional traffic may cause problems for us. But still, I'd say the former benefits outweigh these risks.
iPhone 5 with unlimited data plan will be quite a sell for Sprint.
I bought Sprint stock two days ago.

I am now quite bullish on Sprint. Evo 4G was the best-selling Android phone of Q2 2011. Evo 3D started selling in July.
There have been news that Sprint is buying out the rest of Clearwire and integrating them into Network Vision. The best scenario is that a group of cable providers (Cox, Comcast, etc.) are investing in Sprint, which will then use the money to directly buy Clearwire.
Thus, Clearwire's lack-of-money build-out issue and LTE transition will be resolved. Sprint will have a huge spectrum advantage over ATT and Verizon. And it will have an infusion of cash and outside support for its Network Vision and leveraging of iPhone 5 sales.

since Sprint also announced today that it would begin offering the new Blackberry Curve 95-something-or-other (who really cares about RIM?) I decided to check Sprint stock and if you own any, I hope you enjoyed the 10.12% jump in value, and an additional .84% after hours. 11% in a day? Not bad for the girls we go with...

Just playing devil's advocate here. The arguement about network performance degradation isn't necessarily relevant here, as network footprint doesn't have as much to do with it as available spectrum does. And sprint has more than any other carrier. Think of it as width versus length debate. As far as how many users and how much data they consume is concerned, it's more about the spread of spectrum than the strength.
EDIT: and while yes it is true that a single tower can only handle so much and this is where the footprint arguement grounds itself in, this is also a much easier solved problem than the complex one of spreading out your spectrum. The cost is more fixed: increasing footprint means increasing tower count. Increasing spectrum, however, is a different beast. This problem means having to acquire spectrum off of those who own it. And the cost of that can vary greatly and isn't as easily obtained.
Plus, sprint already has a ton of money invested in network vision, and has a deadline of 2014. Rest assured, with the amount of money at risk, they will most definitely be hitting that deadline

It's a penta-band HSPA+ phone, so it should work on T-Mo (and most HSPA network around the world). T-Mo doesn't really have a true 4G network; in their marketing terms, HSPA+ = 4G.

you can wait 2months and then decide... or compromise $30-50 price difference now and enjoy this nexus for next two months
On a different topic,
my recent device history is:
Vibrant -> Atrix -> SGS II -> Nexus S
I had SGS II and Nexus S simultaneously and I kept Nexus for its stability and curved display(feels much better than flat one). It is as snappy as sgsII and only part where I have to wait for the phone to process is when it is processing panaroma.
I really do not require an upgrade but still i'm going for gnexus as im excited to try what google has on platter with this one.
Considering I kept SGS based Nexus S over SGSII, it is highly likely that I will still stick to Gnexus despite of sgsIII launch.

HTC One X was a reason, thus it dropped from ~500+
Next reason is SGS III

This is the price trend of the G Nexus, which is the worst I've seen on a nexus phone, yeah buy one, by the time the GS3 and iphone 5 are out this phone will not worth crap. I'd give this one a $300 price range in 2 months.

wow thats a huge dip in a short time, really never seen that for a phone. is the gnex that bad? i highly doubt it, but wow.
you can buy them locally for $350-$400 too, I dont find this as the best deal in the world, but its still pretty good.

This is the best online deal I have come across so far.
As far xda market trend, hardly anyone is willing to sell one below 450-480 despite of this deal being in place (an many other deals below 450 for quite a long)
PS: Members will be grateful if someone can purchase them locally for ~350 and sale on xda at that price; unfortunately nothing of that sort has happened yet..
