Finally released in America! The Epic 4G Touch which is Sprint's Samsung Galaxy S II will be released September 16th. Who's switching there 4G for it? Kind of hesitant knowing Samsung sucks with releasing updates...

This.... sorry but a 4.5 inch phone............ might as well be using my Galaxy tab 10.1 as a phone.... of course i'm exaggerating but i didn't overall like the experience with my previous phone, HTC Evo which was a 4.3" phone so, I really can't imagine a 4.5" phone. To me the NS has the perfect form factors and i won't be going above a 4' inch phone.

im thinking about it knowing the nexus prime/3 coming soon think ima wait a bit i prefer stock android over touchwiz but who knows i might wake up tomorrow and decide to buy it

Who's paying full price?

The phone will be $549 I think, isn't the Nexus prime coming out for Verizon though?

Disagree...not waiting for devs to unlock the bootloader is the best feature of the phone.
Although the curved screen is sexy.

Phone is too big.

I think this is just the Galaxy S hype that we saw the first time around. Everyone will get them again and 6 months down the road we will hear everyone that owns one complain about not having ICS yet and how Samsung never updates their phones. Blah...blah...blah

I will be as soon as I know a release date for Nexus Prime. For tmobile that is.
...On a side note, I don't care about your speculations as to whether it is or is not coming out for tmobile. I DON'T CARE. We will find out later that is all anyone can say.

I sure hope it does, looks cool. I've read a couple of reviews on it. So best of luck.
I'd be looking for a tmobile nexus s btw.

I'll be selling mind around the 12th. It's got normal wear and tear on the back cover and chipped surround on the top. I think you can get them replaced for like 11 bucks, saw it on here a while back. Where are you located?

As an owner of an NS since day 1 of BB release I highly recommend you spend your money on ANY non samsung smartphone. Nexus S being no exception. I've been hanging on as long as I can for an ICS device although now looking at the UI I'm strongly thinking about going Verizon and Bionic. I can't wait to relinquish my NS. What a POS.

Just for clarification the nexus s is a pure google experience, no touchwiz or htc sense. I'm all over this, that's why I like the ns.

Sorry for the quality, taken on a MT4G, and I'm not photographer. Last one is just a screenshot of what's on it right now. I'll be using it until I get a new phone around the 12th. I don't overclock it either, for what it's worth.

I also have the box in mint condition and the original screen cover. All the original accessories can be included, except maybe the headphones, unless you want my earwax.

Cool, looks decent. And just a tad curious, may I ask what phone you're replacing the ns with?

upgrading from a galaxy nexus, good idea?

I guess I can't turn back now. I already have sold my Galaxy nexus and waiting for the nexus 4 to come out. I just want your guys' opinion. I sold my nexus for 270$, Do you think that was a solid price? The nexus 4 will cost me about a hundred dollars extra (Canadian tax+shipping). Do you think it was a worth upgrade to spend 100$ on? I am getting the 8GB version by the way which is enough for me.

I did the same thing for the same price. I cant wait for my shiny new 4!

Well the guy from computer world that reviewed it said to upgrade from the Gnex. I may wait until closer to christmas time (or black friday) to see if there are super quick deals somewhere.

I guarantee if you wait longer, google will release a 32gb Nexus 4 for 349.99 and the 16gb will get dropped down to 299.99 just like what they did with the Nexus 7's.

I'm keeping my gnex. Don't see any major differences between gnex and nexus 4. Also I'm not a big fan of LG, they don't have a good track record with releasing drivers. Maybe LG will improve but want to wait and see.

That's actually a good deal. However you could get 32GB for same price approximately in the near future.

Sell the GN for about $200ish, then spend about $380 (tax+shipping) for the N4.
If you are financially able to drop around an extra $180 for the upgrade to N4, then yeah it's worth it. But if you're breaking your back to spend that $180 or so, then no it's not worth it as the GN is still more than a capable device.
That should pretty much sum it up. Good luck!

Nexus 4-5

I will get my nexus 4 in summer, maybe may or June, so should I wait for the n5 or just stick with the n4 ?
And isn't the hardware on the n4 is going to do great handling any apps or games without any problems for a few years ? I mean it's the best out there I think...
1 last thing what about the back glass cover does it crack easily? Even if I bought a grab or sth?

Give him a break guys, he's using the xda app and obviously there isn't a search button. And it would have been easier to just answer him than try to be a mean mum.
To OP: You wouldn't regret getting a Nexus 4 mate. The hardware would undoubtedly be outdated in a few years, but it certainly won't fall behind by that much. And you wouldn't feel too far behind from new android versions since this is a nexus.
The glass I think is fragile but putting a case on the back would definitely protect it. But temperature changes (sudden ones) are rumored to affect the glass and cause them to spontaneously break without producing splinters. Based on the data though, one can assume that only a few units are affected by this condition (mine too, unfortunately )
Anyways, it's your decision. If you think you can wait, then get the 5, but if your hands are itchy and want to get a sexy device, get the n4
In my opinion though, wait till june. If the nexus 5 launches and you don't like it, then get the 4, if you do though, then obviously get the nexus 5.

I'd say hold out for the N5 if it were to be released around May. I doubt that since the N4 was released just a few months ago. Better yet, wait for that Moto X phone..

Exactly and also it mentions tegra 4? That outdated piece of garbage. Qualcomm is currently the best chip. Agreed tegra has better gaming performance but overall Qualcomm blows away tegra.
Anyway there won't be another nexus coming till October. May be they will have a Moto X phone or something but not nexus. That happens once a year during holidays.

Nexus 4 now $199

For those looking to upgrade their Nexus S, google dropped the price of the Nexus 4 to $199. That's one hell of a bargain. Especially if you're looking to upgrade at a low price. The phone is still stupid fast and at $199 there's not much reason not to pick it up.

Well I'm gonna hold out till the next Nexus. Its only a small amount of time before they release some sweet info on it.

I was tempted to upgrade and the price is crazy cheap, but since 90% of my NS usage is listening to music (Voodoo) I would regret it big time.
It would just be an impulse purchase. A new shiny toy to play with for a week or two.
My NS serves me well still. Why change?
