goodby to g2 and hello for new nexus S :D - G2 and Desire Z General

I love this phone but I need a new upgrade for this year
it is a best choise?! nexus S?

If I were to replace my DZ, I'd want to wait for something significantly better, like one of the dual core monsters coming out this year, such as the LG Optimus 2X. And even then, I'd wait to see if it got any dev support first.
Having said that, there is a benefit to having the current Google dev phone, ie. being the first to get OS updates.

Yeah, but it is Samsung that we are talking about, right? From what I have heard about what they are doing to the vibrant, I would NEVER go to Samsung. Did you read the article on AndroidSPIN about what their tipster said? Heres the article http://androidspin.com/2011/01/12/b...samsung-is-holding-the-android-world-hostage/ . After reading that, I don't think that I will ever buy a Samsung phone again. But I did read on another site that the Nexus S is by Google, Samsung just makes the hardware but Google makes the software, and that the Nexus S is Google's Baby and that they will get all the latest software updates first.

also check this out.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913045 (but do not take as fact as no1 can confirm anything)
But yeah, as SETSPEED said you will/should get updates 1st,... but that is about the only benefit I can see.

I came from a vibrant and there are issues that still have not been fixed by samsung like the gps on the phone, so if there is one screw loose in the nexus s I would avoid it at all costs since their current track record for repairs is not that great. BUT it will be a developer phone if I remember right if not correct me, so as far as software updates go it seems like it would be the first to get them like the nexus did before it just do some research first man im a lil pissed at sammy still gonna be a long time b4 i get another samsung phone

i don talk about vibrante...only nexus S

the vibrant is even better than the nexus s in ways. lol

Why would u want a Nexus S? Have you not seen the phones coming in 2011? Nexus S is nothing but a vibrant with a front cam. Id hang on to your G2 and wait for something dual core coming later this year.

Yeah, to me its not a good move at this point but to each his own I guess. I would say to at least wait for MWC in February before making any phone decisions, which will give you a good idea what to expect in the first half of this year. I'm an early adopter to a fault as well and even I think that is crazy.

First of all, can't believe someone is already tired of a phone less than six months old. But you definitely need to go dual core, and stay far away from Samsung.

I wouldn't get a Nexus S. I bet as soon as I got one a "Nexus S 4g" would be released.

I went the opposite way, and I can't be happier. The Nexus S was just a trashy phone.

[Q] Mytouch or wait for samsung nexus 2?

I think I might hold off on the mytouch 4g for a couple of days until the announcement of the nexus 2. What you guys think?

Idk, I guess I would wait just to see what the Nexus 2 will look like, and the specs. But I think the myTouch 4G will still be the better device.

Samsung, YUCK!!! Get the HTC!!!
Dude get the MT4G, Nexus 2 isn't being announced on Nov. 8th (My birthday ). Whoever got the emails misinterpreted it. It's a Samsung Continuum.
There’s an ENORMOUS problem with this concept, the biggest of which being that it was dead wrong. Anyone who actually got the email from Samsung’s PR firm, or bothers to communicate with Samsung at all would know that the November 8th Samsung event is the launch of the Samsung Continuum. For those unaware, this device is completely Samsung, and a unique concept at that, but I will leave details out for the release.
In short guys, it’s bogus. The 8th will not yield a Nexus 2 and the Continuum will not have Gingerbread. Stay tuned though, it will still be a great party.

I am not sure whether is i9020 nexus II or not, but i9020 passed FCC with AWS band (good for T-Mobile and Wind), so this phone will be on my purchase list.
I love mine. Would not trade for a nexus 1 but the nexus 2 may have a 1.5 Ghz processor when it launches. This time it isn't supposed to be on online exclusive either. No confirmation on that so don't hold me to it. Lol.

i'm debating this as well. If the nexus 2 has better specs than my vibrant, I might just get that, but for now i'm leaning towards the 4g.
Even if the specs were similar, I might lean towards the upcoming Nexus phone because it will be unlocked and ready for root.
That will take half of the work and danger out of customization and I bet you will see a lot of community mods aimed at the device.
Nothing against the MyTouch, but HTC needs to offer you something in exchange for dealing with their bloatware and restrictions on the phone. Maybe some killer app or interface?
the nexus 2/S will also have the latest version of android. the mytouch will probably have to wait several months to see an upgrade.
Talk about ignorance, everyone hears Samsung as the manufacturer and automatically think the Nexus 2 is gonna suck. If it's going to be an actual Google phone, then Google will be doing the software updates and such. Damn people, stop the hate on Samsung because it's getting really annoying.
If Samsung is going to announce it, then just wait. You'll only have to wait one week, that's all. It's not like it'll be the end of the world within that time frame.
I doubt that it is the Nexus 2, Google said it isn't happening, the people are Gizmodo are like the troll on this forum; MY FRIEND IS A TMO EMPLOYEE AND HE SAYS SAMSUNG VIBRANT WON'T GET FROYO TIL NEXT YEAR. no, be patient, even then the Nexus can't have more than a first gen humming bird or a second gen snapdragon/scorpion. And if the nexus two is coming, and you want it... the event is on the 8th, return the mt4g and wait for the new device... its not really hard to do lol

Thanks For Making my life easier. That was the exact EXCRUTIATING worry going thru my head.
That is what I will do.
Bottom line: The Nexus Two will be a great phone. Most agree HTC makes more solid (i.e. built like a brick ****house) and appealing phones (tmo employee and I agreed) phone.
But with the Nexus two being great, the best phone to date and will be for a year so they say, STILL, the Mytouch 4g is top notch until it comes out, Correct? (please validate me LOL ) And if I were to keep the Mytouch, the Nexus is not all THAT better is it
Do you know or can u find out if they will make that foolish mistake of NO Flash
Do you know why they would do that, being a Senior member on here

Perfectly stated. That is exactly what I plan to do. I would have waited at least a week to get the MT4g anyway. I need to read at least 100 reviews, and see video samples, photo samples, yada, yada ...to death.
If Samsung anounces the Google Experience phone in the interim, so much the better, and I wait. Having owned the Vibrant for a month, I would love a Google Experience Samsung phone. I'm sure Google would ensure it's done right.
I read the pros and cons on Cnet and it seems like HTC's speakerphone still sucks. Meaning, it is low just like with the G1. I hope its not true, since HTC does make good hardware, but low speaker volume sucks.
I don't profess to know nearly as much as most on here...but fwiw, my friends old mytouch slide, which he had for a week before he opted for the Vibrant, ...he LOVED the music player and the volume on it and the speaker in general. The speakerphone technology itself could change that

GF?

i wish the g2 was the new dev phone

so rumors of the nexus 2 are circling. i had my money on the g2 being the new dev phone. damn, maybe i should send my g2 back afterall. im impatient i want the new android asap, i hate waiting for carriers to play catch up
I feel you. I love the G2, but after having so many android options on my HD2 I had high hopes for the G2. I guess I was wrong. I've already signed up for several overtime gigs on my days off. I should have enough for a nexus 2 whenever it launches.
The nexus two is still a rumor, Samsung themselves said that it was not true. I would keep the g2, because even if you do not have root(for now), you probably will be one of the first handsets to have gingerbread.
Ill be keeping my g2 because I cant see anything being better then it. Plus I dont like samsung
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I agree. I am actually quite happy with my G2.
The nexus 2 does not exist nor will it ever. Cnet confirmed this in a article about samsung. So end that rumor now lol because its not true! Here is the link

also i think that you are not understanding what i am trying to say. the name of this thread is "i wish the g2 was the new dev phone" i had my hopes that the g2 would become the new dev phone. this way we can get the updates asap and not wait on our damn carriers to update.

At this point I'd pick Samsung over HTC. HTC will most likely not be an XDA's members choice of android phone in the future.
really? samsung over htc? i have to admit samsungs screen looks good, but the phones look cheap and feel cheap. maybe it was jus the demo phones i was messing around with
i really like my g2, i need a real keyboard. swype sucks and i have big fingers. the samsung with a real keyboard was waaay to bulky. then again its all ones opinion

I really like the look and feel of the g2 and all HTC phones overall, but hate how it's being locked down. I know most don't care about it being locked, but I would really like to load a different rom onto it. I'm not knocking the build quality of any G2 just the restrictions.
lol regardless of whether or not the phone is a dev phone or made by htc or samsung, the g2 is still gonna get updates faster than most other phones because there is no skin ( sense, motoblur, expresso etc...) on top of it to slow down the development. Second the main reason ( not the only one) the nexus 1 got updates faster than any other phone was because it was a product sold specifically by google. So of course the phone received update faster because it was googles phone. And since google confirmed that they would NOT be making another phone to be sold and would just focus on refining android, there will not a be another so called nexus 2 or true development phone, regardless of the carrier or manufacturer. So either way your argument is pointless. Stop worrying about future updates and whether or not your phone gonna get it first and just enjoy it.

Nexus S or LG Optimus 2X

So I'm debating what the next phone is that I want to get. Should I either get the Nexus S or wait and get the LG Optimus 2X when it comes out.
Pros of Nexus S: Cyanogen, 'nuf said.
Cons of Nexus S: Not that much more that the N1 really. I currently have an N1.
Pros of Optimus 2X: Tegra2, 1080p, etc.
Cons of Optimus 2X: not even out yet so unknown at this point.
I'd love to hear what you all have to say on the matter, thoughts, criticisms, pros/cons, etc.
Just wait! In all likelihood, the price of the Nexus S will go down by the tIme the LG comes out.
Plus, you'll have to see how LG will modify Android too
I'd wait on the optimus 2x. It'll probably be great, but you don't want to be one of the people to find out first that it isn't. Wait a week after release, read reviews, then buy.
On the other hand, if you're satisfied with the nexus s reviews, get it. Sure, it won't have the highest specs in a month, but that doesn't mean it'll be trash.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
you know this is the nexus ONE section? :L
I'd go for the Optimus
As it stands, the LG. It's a monster.
Between the two...hands down the LG Optimus.
I'd take the LG, but imo LG phones are bad. I've had several and never had a good experience. Their UI isn't great either, but like I said it's all opinion. So.. I would wait for reviews or wait a bit longer after that for something even better
I would say the lg also. Digging how the tegra is shaping up. Just not sure about lg's build quality, or if there will be support from the community here. Comm support is a must for me since Im learning as I go.
I think this is relevant to the N1 forum since op is asking about what to get after it.
Idk. I just got the MT4G a month ago. I plan on getting a new phone when an HTC phone with the 1.5Ghz dual core Snapdragons are released. It depends on how often you upgrade. If you get a new phone every 6 months, I'd get the Nexus, but if you're the type to wait out your contract I'd say the LG.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I tend to get a new phone every year, contract up or not. Kind of depends on funds at the time.
I'm agreeing that the LG is going to be a monster, but am afraid that there will not be the community support that the N1/S has. So far, Cyan seems to focus on HTC devices, and I really like what Cyan does.
So far, I prefer vanilla Android with tweaks here and there such that ADW does, but don't like the interfaces that Moto, and Samsung, etc use. So if someone comes out with a good custom ROM for the LG, I'm there.
I have a feeling though that as soon as I get my tax return, I'm going to get antsy and end up getting the Nexus S, won't be able to wait for the LG to come out, then it'll come out and I'll be all disappointed. At the same time though, all these bad ass Android phones have come out that are superior the the N1, but because of the community support, I haven't been too disappointed to regret having gotten the N1.
In the end, I think it boils down to community support, with the NS will have plenty of that the LG may not.
It's a no brainer, got to be the LG 2X.
The Samsung NS looks like a soap dish.
First, this is in the wrong section I think..
Second and most importantly, we have no idea how rootable the Optimus 2X will be... if it's totally locked down, how would you feel about not being able to mod it?

That's kind of why I was posing the question, others might have a better idea as to how LG is with their devices and if they tend to be easy or hard to root, good/bad build quality, warranty and support issues. Is LG lenient with software hack like HTC is, or are they strict and won't service a phone that's been rooted.
I understand that the phone isn't out, but I'm trying to start my research early to start building a mental image of what my options are so that I can make a well informed choice when the time comes, instead of buying something just because it's there and everyone is talking about it.
Your cool in this section bro. But if your leaning toward the Ns, then I would wait for the next HTC device...just a thought

The S is smoother, the animations are much better, and it's snappier. This is all due to the improved hardware.
It's the same Gingerbread experience though. I'm badgering my friend to hook me up with Honeycomb.
The software is identical, but the S takes much better advantage of it.

YES, still never purchasing another Samsung product.
Oddly I'm the opposite of the OP. I've been with T-Mo for 11+ years and been pretty happy with them overall. Having had HTC phones in the past, I will probably look at their next offering when I'm eligible for an update. While I love that the Vibrant has been so easy to mod, they've left a bad taste in my mouth.
Don't hate them, but I will most likely not be buying anything from them again.

I feel like they were mostly wrong about the gps. They should of came out and said they made a mistake and did a recall. Not to compare Apples to Oranges, but when Apple had the antenna problem at least they found a solution and gave out free bumpers/cases to help the issue. Samsung till this day has never said anything about the gps, at least not to my knowledge. Then they brag about how the Galaxy S line is such a success in sales, but we're just about the only high end Android device that's not on 2.2. It does not make sense to me. I definitely must say that I love the hardware minus the gps.

So you cite wikipedia for your Froyo information, but you don't cite the original quote in the thread?
Citation pls.
I don't hate Samsung, I just don't trust them - Just look at their track record. Will look hard at HTC or Moto at upgrade time - Depends on what is out but Samsung products will be out of the question. Once bitten, twice shy...
Been with T-Mo a long time - Have a sweet deal on my plan for 4 phones...
No source code for anything yet = still hate Samsung.
I do not trust Samsung and do not intend to purchase them again. I will be leaning toward the LG Optimus 2X or the LG Black. The only way I would want to buy Samsung again is if they have a dual core Nexus S2 with vanilla android and external sd card and Google is in charge of the updates etc. I am also very interested in the LG 4G tablet coming to T Mobile.
I guess I'm in the minority -- I have no issues w/Samsung and have been pretty happy w/my Vibrant. Yes, 2.2 has taken an awfully long time...but I always knew I could flash it if I really wanted/needed something in 2.2 -- and ultimately, I did.
Seems to me the only phones that don't go through this are the official dev phones (Nexus); why, I still remember when T-Mobile was hinting that 2.x would come to the G1.
I would definitely buy another Samsung.
Will never buy another Samsung phone. Love T-Mobile though. Next phone will be an HTC.

Still hate samsung even if we go receive 2.2, I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER SAMSUNG PHONE!!
I used to hate Samsung, but their smartphone hardware is great (AMOLED baby!).

Who's NOT getting the Epic 4G Touch?

I know I'm not. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. Its already September and Gingerbread came out last December on a Samsung phone nonetheless, and we're still on software that's almost a year and a half old with no source code or drivers in sight. We can't even create our own up to date roms, and Samsung is unreliable when it comes to updates. Our phone possibly has the worst development community thanks to Samsung slacking on updates,drivers, and source code. I will never go through this again. Goodbye Samsung forever. Its either a Nexus phone, iPhone or Windows Phone for me from now on, and none by Samsung.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I'm strongly considering it...I certainly like the specs
But in all probability I'm going to jump ship to the iPhone next month. Between the last two phones I've owned (Epic and Palm Pre), I'm getting pretty damn sick of manufacturers who can't develop worth a spit.
No Epic Touch for me...
Too much money since i only get 75 dollars off...
Plus im waiting for Nexus to come to sprint by january or the next HTC device.

what's the difference between this and the nexus s 4g?
Samsung is getting better I think w/ their newer phones, have way better screens than everyone except LG (which could go either way), and better specs. I'm not getting it though, if I could I would.
I love the specs and hardware on the Epic, but I need a phone with development behind it. I love what our devs have been able to do with what they have, but I am going to wait a month til after a phone is out to see how it is going before I jump in.

I got the epic in October and it was an awesome. Then after waiting for updates 6 months after everybody got there's on other phones I learned my lesson and now waiting for gingerbread official leak sucks. I want the next nexus phone only because it a true Google phone without the bloatware and seems to get its updates quicker than others. I thought about the epic touch but will hold off for now plus its another dual core phone which i dont think will be put to good use till more dual core phones come out.
this is my first Samsung phone... and last. most likely jumping to the iphone later this year. i love android and the specs of our current epic4g is awesome but theres no real development for this.

I got the epic in October and it was an awesome. Then after waiting for updates 6 months after everybody got there's on other phones I learned my lesson and now waiting for gingerbread official leak sucks. I want the next nexus phone only because it a true Google phone without the bloatware and seems to get its updates quicker than others. I thought about the epic touch but will hold off for now plus its another dual core phone which i dont think will be put to good use till more dual core phones come out.

I'm satisfied with my Nexus S at the moment, but give me a fully functional 80mb CM7 or any AOSP zip & I will get it in a instant.

I'm not thrilled about selling out to Apple either but, let's be honest, Samsung's a waste of time. Google is another story...may be worth holding out until the Prime rather than be subsumed by the Apple dark lord.
Can't get it...
Still have another year and retail is too expensive
Remember buy a phone for what it is not what its gonna get and how fast. Always gonna be something better next month or so. I just refuse to buy any apple products anymore.

Definitely i would go for the Prime if you didn't like the epics updates ... you won't be disappointed on a nexus device ... and don't even talk about the dev community behind nexus devices ...
If I ever buy another Android phone, it'll have to be a nexus device or something I know has the ability to load AOSP on it myself. Between manufacturer bloat and carrier bloat I'm done with all the crap...
I still like my EPIC .... I'd like my next phone to have a physical keyboard .... but I might get this

This right here is the reason. I got the Epic 4G the very first day it was available and still have to wait until June if I don't wanna get raped with retail pricing....

Just get it at Best Buy when it releases. Best Buy takes $75 upgrades and still lowers it to 199.99. Every single time I upgrade there it ends up 199.99.
