Who will be purchasing a Nexus S?

I most certainly will my G1 is on it's death bed. I love stock android and this will have and get the updates first! I can deal with the lack of features and dual core can wait because in the next 2 years something better will come out. You can never beat technology! So who else will be getting this phone?

Me eventually.

I most likely will want another phone. Currently have the myTouch 3G slide.

I too am going to wait. I think Google/Sammy's partnership came late, and they attempted to give use a dual-core, but couldn't, and so rushed the single-core to their Nexus brand. Lack of HSPA+, especially, just seems backwards when all phones and carriers are moving toward "4G." It just doesn't make sense. I will hold off.

i'm still not 100%. i'd say i'm about 65% sure i want it right now. need to get to a best buy with a real working display model and use it for a while.

I should have mine on Wednesday of next week

Is it really that much better than the G2 or Mytouch4g to get? G2 has a keyboard SLCD, HSPA+, new gen snapdragon, and almost stock android. Mt4g also has HSPA+ and a new gen 1Ghz snapdragon.
I think the only reason to get the Nexus S would be for the Google updates. The specs really aren't mind blowing, they're high end, but nothing new.
So when it comes time to retire my trusty G1 I think I'll go with its successor the G2.
Although it is quite tempting to go with the Nexus S updates and SAMOLED are quite tantalizing.

Yes the mt4g is quite ugly. But I think the G2 has notable advantages over the Nexus S.
1. Keyboard
2. HSPA+
In all other things the Nexus S reigns supreme. That's what it's so tempting to get it. But then again coming from the G1 I do like my keyboard

I'm 75% on Nexus S and 25% on G2

No, I am getting it on Wednesday. I have Googler connections .

I'm waiting for the end of the first quarter to get one of the big daddy's with there dual core processors. The nexus s seems very rushed in build and spec. I've got the feeling Google are trying to cash in on christmas. Even tho I really like the updates coming straight to the phone it's no way worth the money. Just can't wait until the end of the first quarter.

can't wait for my nexus s
no way would i get the g2 over it

Nothing is going to hold me back from buying this. And I m getting everything I need from the current generation phones. Will upgrade later if they (next generation phones) really have something good on the table to offer.
16GB enough for me. 720p will come, I m pretty sure. No HSPA+ in my country
LED notifications, we are not sure of it! And many other phones dont have a track pad.
Atleast I know whatever this phone has to offer will be "usable to fullest" bcos of good battery life (consider all the pitfalls of DHD) and XDA support
Overall should be a flawless phone with whatever is has to offer! If you are fine with its offering go for it. Else wait for another 3-4 months for the next generation phones

no led is confirmed. luckily you can use the app noled to get around it.

I have a G1 that is also in its last moments so i'm thinking about getting either Nexus S or MT4g.
I'm leaning more toward Nexus S because its vanilla android and will get the updates faster but also because I think that the community will embrace it more.

Same, except my 25% is on the Vibrant that I currently have.

Thinking if this thing will be worth an extra 130 over my mt4g, I bought it from costco so it cost me 400 and I have 90 days to return it. I like the mt4g a lot more then I thought I would, just wish it got some developer love.

If u already have mt4g and use/expecting 4G in ur area. I dont see any reason why u shouldn't stick with mt4g. Its an amazing phone sans the loooks. Its ugly !! But technology > looks

Atrix are you getting it why?

Before I start I want yo say that this is not solo for the AT&T version, but any version and I would like to hear it from you guys, opinions fears and hopes.
Leme be the first on this post that says I'm going to get this baby. why? I'm interested I'm the docks as its being a smartphone feature I've personally being expecting the most as I see a promising future. I know this may be the first but won't be the last and hopefully becomes a common feature with the time that will be considered rather useful with increasing smartphone technology.
What I fear is how thigh Motorola plans on closing the bootloader... only allowing little development for the phone.
My hopes are that Motorola in plans on cleaning their reputation will find (or has found) a way to get them both(security and openness) walking together down the same road
Just added a Poll for those who would better Like a vote ^^

tegra 2 chip, 1GB ram, qHD display, finger print sensor, 1950 mHA battery, this is just a few down the list. I will buy this sucker, my first ever Android and Motorola experience

In my opinion, its the best Android to come out on AT&T which I am currently happy with. I bought just the phone and got a great price. Coming from an iPhone 4 and anxious to try out Android finally.

Aside from the obvious reasons to buy the Atrix, I am a Motorola two-way radio technician and I constantly get asked by my customers as to why I don't carry a "Droid". Well for one, I don't like the way CDMA sounds compared to GSM and two, I get a 15% discount with at&t that I can't get with any other carrier.
Since at&t works very well in the areas I need service, I've got no reason to switch.
I will be getting the Atrix.

Im living in Europe and for me its presently a decision between the LG Optimus 2X or the Motorola Atrix 4G.
And at the moment I am more or less solo considering the Atrix, but I will only get the Atrix provided:
1: It can get root (Done)
2: Its bootloader is not locked
2a: Or in the case that it is locked, that the lock is broken by the time I want to get it.
Thats really what it all comes down to for me at this point. I dont want to pay several 100 dollars for a damned phone that I am not "allowed" to mess with "for my own safety". What a load of crap really.
If those 2 things I listed get cleared up come April, then I am getting the Atrix . And if not then I am getting the LG instead. Its that simple really...

Why not buy it? The best phone in the market now, man!

Same here, although I did own a razr back in the day. Great specs on this device.
This was a simple choice for me. Finally a good android phone on my carrier and I'm up for a equipment discount. I'm glad I waited the few extra months.

Does anyone know if the Nvidia app store will be on the Atrix? I know I saw a video on it but I have not seen it reviewed in any of the videos I've seen for the Atrix on youtube.

Yes I am getting it, and the efuse doesn't bother me at all. The specs of the phone are great and I really don't have a problem with stock.
It will make a nice upgrade from my Nexus One

I know people wish upon this few things that they can't have. But this will make a great phone until next year.
I have a nexus one, so this really is a resolution upgrade for me since my N1 is pentile as well.
The N1 has horrible battery life compared to the Atrix, and the touch sensor is garbage. So these two things alone will make make my usage of the phone better.
Non proprietary HDMI and USB ports are much nicer than the $50 cable Samsung wants to charge.
I despise AT&T for disabling HSUPA, and this really make it not a 4G phone, but T-Mobile sucks here and Sprint has nothing interesting. We're getting LTE this year so next year I may consider Verizon.
For now, this Atrix is a pretty good thing for me.
-James

for geadget lovers,
this is a stand out phone , because of the docks. maybe in the future more modal phones/comps will be on the market. So as the first (beside the foleo) the atrix has to be in the personal collection or history (similar to the Nokia 8110, Ericcson r520m, SE T68, Nokia N95, iPhone 2G and some others). I tell you, sometimes you will look back, and maybe the atrix will be one of your phones you will remember, the docks pricey or not will make the difference.
... my two cents, still remember my r520m (bluetooth gprs tether, year 2000)
... sorry about the double post, mixed the topics ...

Just ordered mine.....my birthday is the 23rd so my Awsome GF is buying it for me.

Yes. I was wary foe a while, jumping between this and the Galaxy S 2.
Dual core, 1 gig DDR 2 RAM, great battery, high resolution sscreen.
Mainly for.the speed. I also just picked up 250 so I might look into a dock as well for when im on the computer.
Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon

Ur opinion on Hercules not getting Exynos processor?

http://omgdroid.com/2011/09/12/t-mobile-leaves-customers-feeling-left-sgsii-variant/
So what do u think about the Hercules not getting the Exynos chip and the other three U.S SGS2 phones from other carriers will have it. I really dont know what to say???
**UPDATE** We will be getting Qualcomm 1.5Ghz dual-core APQ8060 processor will power the 4.52″ Super AMOLED Plus device. NICE

That's IT. Nexus Prime I'm coming

If Nexus Prime comes to TMO, isn't it likely to also not have Exynos for the same 42 Mbps reason?
What I'm thinking is while it's unfortunate, it's not the end of the world. I'm more curious to see if it's got that damned Yamaha DAC, or if they wised up and went back to Wolfson.
Since I'm not eager to switch off of TMO just yet, unless the Nexus does come to TMO, I'm likely to get the SGS2/Hercules.

I really have been looking forward to the SGSII exynos proc....I probably wont be getting hercules for a multitude of reasons (mainly money) I would still get it if i could just to work on a kernel for it, but I would really prefer exynos vs anything else. Mainly because the Mali-400MP has significantly higher texture performance (lower geometry, but texture matters more for current loads)

Deal breaker. Well I was waiting for an ICS device anyway..which would be media prime

Sprint coverage and 3G speeds too terrible/slow for me, and they're virtually guaranteed not to improve that at any decent rate.
As terrible as AT&T is, I may have to leave T-Mobile for them and get an iPhone or something that allows me to get a 4GB data plan because I really need 3G coverage, and they put up a new tower right near here earlier this year.
But that's fine. They're getting all the good phones these days it seems, anyways...

for people who cant just walk up and leave tmobil like me. Ill still be getting the hercules because hands down its the best phone hands down by tmobil.

2 questions about the Prime:
1. on all different android/tech sites I keep seeing people say they will wait for the Prime...not that it is a bad idea, but its supposed to be made by samsung, so if tmobile gets it, wont they just do the same thing with the CPU? What Cpu is the Prime rumored to have?
2. It seems every android site i go to people are saying to pass this up for the Prime "in a couple/few weeks" It seems people are sure its coming to Tmobile and sure its coming in just a couple weeks. I keep seeing that as if its a fact....
I will probably wait to see the prime too, im just saying it seems like people are 100% sure of its specs, that it is coming to Tmobile, and that it is only a couple of weeks out...I dont see the manufactures that are releasing the GS2 (3 major except Verizon), releasing a nexus prime/droid/samsung prime within just a couple weeks of releasing the GS2....
any thoughts? Im not hating, i just want to be clued in as to why everyone is so sure its coming to Tmobile, in a few weeks and what CPU it will have???

I would wait and see. Supposedly the next nexus is 1,5 dual core ti omap 4460 and an overclocked powergx vr 540 or whatever its called. Its hard to say what to wait for. I want to see how well the phone handles with higher resolution and if the battery life is there. The latest tech nology is always a waiting game and there is something better around the corner always. Plus, i also want to see what moto brings to the table. I plan on getting a phone by december, and it is my intention, seriously, to have this next device for two years+.
I voided my warranty and your mum.

relating this to my question right above, assuming the nexus prime is a samsung phone, I thought most people wanted the samsung exynos processor in it; which is why many are disappointed by the Hercules not getting it...?
So i don't know anything about the ti processor you are referring to, but how is it supposed to compare to the samsung exynos processor? I guess im am just confused that we all wanted the exynos on the hercules, but are ok that it is not rumored to be in the nexus prime?

It's almost retarded, this choice of them. I don't need to download stuff at 4.5 MB/s at all times, but I need to have a fast and responsive device with a nice energy management at absolutely all times. 21 Mbps on a f'ing phone is already overkill.

It is rumored to run omap 4, far better than the snapdragon in the Hercules.
I personally am waiting for the n3. It wont have the 42 down but ill never see past the 21 so I'm fine.
Hmmm, just thought about it, maybe that's why they changed this soc, to have some type of selling point to "people who don't know better" once the prime comes out?

are you getting T-Mobiles SGS II? (Hercules)

Long time reader, occasional poster.
Well, it seems as if it is time to move on from my amazing Vibrant. I have had this for about a year now and it has been my best and favorite phone to date. The devs have been amazing, and everyone on these forums have been fantastic as well.
This isn't a good by, just curious to see if any of you are moving on, and what your thoughts are on it? I would love to see some Team Whiskey on the Hercules, some CM7 love (thats a given), and even some Einherjar Dev's on the new phone.
So what do you say? Will i be seeing more of you in the near future?

Not to the SGS2.
I'm waiting for the Google/Samsung conference event next week and that will decide that. If Verizon is gonna have the exclusivity on the Prime for more than 6 months, I will pick up an HTC Amaze 4G. If not, I will wait 1-3 months and get the one phone to rule them all- Nexus Prime.
T-mobile's SGS2 is a tad outdated in its camera department, screen resolution, and audio output. It's a nice phone but the Amaze 4G is just a hair better imo due to it's back-lit illuminated camera. Nexus prime...well that's nexus prime. Obliterates every phone is just about every department.
I'm quite happy with my Vibrant for now though. CM7 themed beautifully and incredible usability coupled with 1.5Ghz CPU, 1800mah Samsung genuine battery, 32GB microSD +16 internal for 48GB total, audiophile-grade audio out, and impressive screen and form factor? Sorry but this phone is just now at its full potential and I see no reason to upgrade. 3400 Quadrants and no lag anywhere.

iPhone 4S or Nexus Prime, depending on Coverage and Price. I'm leaning towards the iPhone because the Battery Life is great, iCloud is good, and they have a better ecosystem than Google.
However, the rumored hardware in the Nexus Prime is enticing. If it's on T-Mobile, though... I'm gonna have to pass. Dunno why Google keeps launching Nexus phones on T-Mobile. They have the worst coverage of hte 4 carriers, by far.
I'm moving in a few weeks, so I'll have to wait and see how it all pans out...

Coverage depends where you at. Also T-Mobile is developer friendly. Cyanogen and his team have gotten free phones and tablets to develop on for t-mobile. I don't know what your talking about but Google cloud system is far superior than icloud. Battery life will always be great on a device that can only take low speed 3g. Hspa+,LTE,Wiimax all use higher bandwidth than. Which cause more battery drain. To be specific T-Mobile coverage on the east side is better than at&t and Sprint coverage. On the west aide at&t is has better coverage. Also Verizon has the best coverage all around but be ready to pay an arm and a leg.

Sprint has bad service and doesn't really penetrate walls Hspa+ speeds get the same as wimax speeds. Not to mention T-Mobile has lower ping speeds as well. Let's not mention that if your phone breaks you need to buy a new phone instead of just switching sim cards. This phone is also fully aws compatible. As for throttling I never reached the cap to be throttle and all my apps sync every 5 minutes. Unless your tether all day and streaming YouTube or some video app you never reach it.

The future looks very bright for Samsung. They have Cyanogen on board now which means more source code releases from Sammy and early CM8 release for Galaxy S2. Sammy has better hardware, better screen than HTC and thinner form factor. Im getting the S2 on Oct 12th.
I love the Nexus Prime too but apparently its a Verizon only release (which is why they dont have a Galaxy S2 model) and I dont want to wait 6 months for a GSM version to be released. Also there is word that Ice Cream Sandwich release is being pushed back.

I think I'm gonna wait for the prime. The Hercules seems great with a beefed up cpu but i can see driver problems in the future.
I wanted to get the Samsung Note but that seems that it will only come to at&t.
I don't see myself leave Tmobile anytime soon due to I use over 5g of data a month, I live in the east cost so all networks are about the same, also free tehrering and sum card switching.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

I'm going to be moving on to the next Nexus device, especially if it ends up on Verizon. I have been loyal to T-Mo for a loooong time, but as much as I travel, I need a network that is faster in more places (I spend a lot of time wishing I even had EDGE). I already have a VZW MiFi, and I depend on it. Running CM7 with no WiFi Calling can often leave me in the dust on cell reception.
I've always been a fan of Samsung hardware, but I'm not a fan of Touchwiz and the speed of updates. Not just from Samsung, but any manufacturer that is applying their own framework to the mix. I really, really enjoy tinkering with things, and if there's one thing I've learned from my Vibrant (which is my first Android phone) it's that not having a pure Google phone really hinders the process.
That said, if Verizon gets an ACTUAL Nexus device (pure Google) with LTE, then I'll move on over. If not, I'll cross my fingers and hope T-Mobile gets it like they always do and I'll just stay put. Swapping to AT&T or Sprint isn't in the equation, even if they somehow were the only one's with the "Prime". I won't swap if LTE isn't in the equation since here, locally, T-Mobile beats the pants off of EVDO in the speed department.
I honestly believe that people put to much hype into phone specs. No one can tell the difference between processors or much of anything else under the hood. It's fun to talk about and I enjoy geeking out about it all, but hardware changes every 6 months anyway. If you're buying a device based purely on hardware specs, you'll always be disappointed when the next thing comes out 3 months later.

i'll probably kill any one at the store to get one on the release date
okay... kill is a bit overboard, but a would not mind pushing people aside, or jump on them to get it muahahahahaha

unfortunately Prime will not be available on GSM anytime soon it seems
and the Note is only on the normal GSM frequency that is not AWS compatible
so that's why the SGS2 Hercules is the best toy until Nexus 3 Prime becomes available on AWS bands

No, I wont get any US version GSII

My contract will be up in a few months and I'm looking for what's next. The Vibrant has been a great phone and is still going strong but it' starting to show it's age. Also I don't think I want to lock into another 2 year contract. So here's my thoughts...
Google is now selling the Galaxy Nexus for $400

And I can also get the bring your own SIM unlimited plan for $45/month.
I'm guessing I will break even in about 6 months as opposed to buying the Galaxy II on contract.
Thoughts?

Don't buy the GS2. there are a lot of phones out that are so much better. Speaking from personal experience. GS2 is already yesterdays news. Wait or move to another carrier. T-Mobile sucks with their updates! Run! RUN I TELL YOU!! RUUUUUUUUN!

Personally I will be leaving t-blowbile when my contract is up in July. Everyone else should too. Terrible updates,even worse service.

GS3 for T-Mobile will probably be dual core. It isn't really that impressive, I suggest a GS2

Latest ICS is still a pain though .

Why, you don't like him or something? GSII was, and continues to be, the ****ing definition of let down. 480x800 on a 4.5" screen, when I'm a little disappointed with that resolution on a 4" screen? No thank you. If GS3, with its rumored 4.7" screen, ends up being pentile, I'm done with Samsung for at least 2 years, probably longer.

It probably will the Galaxy Nexus has a 720p Superamoled pentile display.....samsung makes the screens 99% chance of pentile on GS3.......

I have the gs2 the updates sucks, (oh there aren't any) and the phone could be better. If the gs3 that goes to T-Mobile is garbage, as in it has a totally different processor than every other gs2 then I'm leaving T-Mobile and going some where else.

Engadget has had some posts that indicate the SGS 3 is going to have Sammy's latest Erynox quad core. I'm wondering if it's going to be good enough to finally be the device that has me leaving my Vibrant when I'm eligible for another upgrade.
My main concerns are:
Developer backing
Storage (if not a lot on the phone, it has to have an SD)
Removable battery to get out of bootloops

Wait...you mean I was totally right and Samsung abandoned the gs2 just like I said they would and everyone that rushed to get one is all sad about it? no. way. Seriously #neveragain means #neveragain. Buy the gs3 and watch the same damn thing happen again.

I'm much less worried about vendor support than I am dev support. Sammy forgot about the Vibrant a LONG time ago. And Sammy's not the only one that does it. In all honesty this is part of the reason that I am going to consider a Windows phone when it's time for a new one.

Just read on tmonews that the US variants of SG3 could come with Snapdragon S4 processor instead of Exynos. If true, it will really put a damper on the SG3 party.

i guess when samsung says "flagship", means they'll abandon ship in a year or so.
TMO just aquired 20+ spectrums (i think) from the AT&T deal so the data speeds and signal should be boosted in the next couple of months. then ultimately get LTE in 2013.
i'm sticking with Tmo cuz i need wifi calling and my old grandfathered myfave "real unlimited" plan

Well, I bought my Vibrant on release day (July 2010). I decided to go for the HTC One S and ordered 3 of it yesterday to replcace my vibrant and 2 Iphones in my family. Got a great deal from loyalty ($200 for 3 phones) and $10 per month off my plan.

Told ya!!!!

What are your guy's thoughts on a 4.7 4.8 inch screen, but no physical buttons?
What the hell is so bad about physical buttons and having the full 4.8" of beautiful screen? I've used Ios devices, and not having a back button drives me nuts!
I don't see anything coming up with a nice big hd screen, capacitive buttons, removable Batt/SD card...
Seems like every rumored phone is missing something...That and the thin factor. Seriously, look at the iphone, it's a brick, people love it...what's the fascination with thin ass phones that feel cheap andcan't hold a battery worth a ****?

$200 each, or total? I'm thinking about pushing for some loyalty love for a reduced One S, and then just selling it still sealed. I REALLY dislike the non-removable battery, and not really a fan of only cloud storage, but can live with it if necessary. I was kind of thinking maybe finagle 2 Galaxy S Blazes for free, since that phone is as close as it gets to an upgraded Vibrant, and selling one... still not sure though. Any ideas?
