Since nexus S is not a very known phone I am still always asked by people what phone is this, I actually like this thing.
Anyways it's kinda interesting to answer that. I used to say it's a google nexus S, then I used to say that it's a samsung google nexus S and now I simply say samsung nexus S. People are like oh it's a galaxy? I am like well you can say that.
Samsung is the cool **** these days.
I say it's a nexus
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda app-developers app
yeah...nexus is the king, no matter what. I throw nexus around like it makes me look cool lol
I just say Nexus S. I never say the phone's brand name, just the model number. It's a habit.
People still ask me what kind of phone I have. I simply tell them its the Google Nexus S and its one of android's flagship devices. Then I proceed to explain to them what that means lol

Android. If they ask what computer? Linux. Simple as that.

I usually say nexus s 4g, I've only found a handful of ppl that have even heard of it... most ppl, including the morons at our local Sprint store, think I mean a galaxy nexus...

If they have to ask what phone it is I just say it's a Samsung. Anybody who would know what a nexus is would recognize it on sight.

The conversation usually goes like this:
Friend: What's your phone?
Me: Oh it's a nexus!
Friend: Ah...a Samsung?
Me: Well, yeah...but it's a pure Google/Android device...
Friend: So....it's a galaxy?
Me: Oh no! It's pure Google. Samsung modifies their version of Android.
Friend: Oh OK....(changes topic at this point since he actually has no idea what the hell I'm blabbering about and/or he uses an iPhone anyway).
I say "nexus s" and they say "oh" and change the topic lol

People who care know that Nexus is Google's branding, people who don't won't care if it's a Samsung or a Google or anything. I usually say I have a Nexus S (adding Sprint if they asked) if they then give me a blank stare I say "Samsung and Google partnered to make a pure Android phone."

This is pretty much on par with almost every phone conversation I've ever had. Now these are mostly avoided by coworkers and family because they don't want to hear me blabber on about "pure Google" and ROMs.

I've given up saying Nexus pretty much, at least with the people I go to school with. I tell them it's an Android, and if they want to know more then I tell them it's a Nexus S.

Just saw in their facebook page. They will mark price as 299 again

Let everybody open a new thread now asking if people are getting every phone that comes out every two weeks. And wrong place to post questions. As you said it yourself the op has a question which means this thread should be moved to q&a.

There is not another thread on this forum for note 2 . I was just wondering who want to switch fron T999 to Note .
Peace
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I know the Windows phones are the big question in a lot of Android users eyes these days but I have to admit the Note 2 is a demon and though it will be like holding a salami sandwich to the side of my head I can't ignore the specs which is why I got the GS3 in the first place. I will be watching but I think it's still too early to tell if I'll be racing to the store since the last purchase nearly made my car the bedroom.
I am going for the Smart TV next though (Samsung rocks).

Just ignore people like that man they have nothing better to do than cry about it not being in the Q&A and really if that is their biggest thing to worry about it should make you feel better for having real issues not trolling forums whining.
back on topic, i am debating getting that or the one x+ if it comes out around the same line cant decide yet note 2 has a good lead though huge screen is right up my ally but pockets are getting too full to fast
I'd love it but I couldn't bring myself to rock it as a phone. Just too big.

The note 2 is a downgrade from the gs3 in terms of hardware. No way I'd downgrade. I had an international note and it wasn't in my top 5 best phones. I've had every high end phone too. I won't be getting rid of my s3 for one unless it has a huge dev community which I don't foresee.

That's interesting. It's about time the exynos supported lte and hspa+ 42. I bet that thing is gonna be a battery hog even with that huge battery. I'll be interested to see how this phone lands. If it's like the s3 and all the versions are similar then dev should be great. We will see.

1) what happens if you need to perform a battery pull?
2)How is the speaker on this compared to Galaxy Nexus?
3)Biggest gripe minus LTE?
Thank you for the responses very much. So much on the fence to this phone or not.

To question 1: hold down power for 10 seconds. Reboots. Works every time.

Really though, if you can get your hands on one, you'll be happy.
1. Answered above
2. Never owned a galaxy nexus, but yes speaker is loud and clear
3. battery life. A custom kernel should fix this, but I haven't gone around to root it yet. Maybe a software update would help

It's what happened to me when I wanted to order one. I decided i wanted one and BAM it went sold out.
Then luckily a hour later, Google Play Store says its not sold out and orders resumed

I think the specs are great. If I can get 3-5megs I think I can be totally happy on at&t. It will work at my property and that means a lot. I've been at Verizon for a very long time makes me nervous leaving. Even though I know GSM is the way to go

Biggest issue with this phone is I can't stop playing with it. There is a heap of development already and it's only been out a short time.

If you like the nexus more than the awesome note 2 you should do that. I love my note even if i have to wait for the update to 4.2.2

If you like the nexus why don't you just put stock android on then... omg you have 4.2.2 like the nexus which has 4.3 atm but at least you'll have the second latest rom. I rather wait than get rid of such a brilliant phone.

It's hard to believe that he has been lurking in the forums for 4 years and still posts something so craplike.
One answer to you Goodbye, Auf Wiedersehen, до свидания, Arrivederci - don't let the doors hit you on your back
Who said about any problems with Touchwizard, it's only release schedule, new Android for Note 2 will be released about 2 months after Note 3 premiere. And will most probably be 4.3 and not 4.2.2.

Yea alright keep your hair on. If you dont like the subject dont comment. So what if I have been lurking I may not be a technical genius or a developer but I have helped a couple of people out while ive been here. Isnt that what this forum is about? Learn and share?

While we are here let's put even more metaphorical wood to the proverbial fire ... even the Galaxy Tab 2 is now getting android 4.2.2.
This is so going to anger people more for no good reason. ( rub hands and smile in an evil way ... )
So much hate for the only other manufacturer that actually does update their hardware for a decent number of Android versions if you exclude the Nexus devices.
Sure they are slow but come on what if you bought an LG or HTC , you would be lucky if your device got a single version upgrade.
we samsung customers are lucky enough compared to other brands that rarely provide updates to their phones. don't worry I'm pretty sure we'll get one sooner or later. if not I'll be selling this and my S4 and get a new one that deserves a love. nevertheless i love this note2. and my S4 but i love this note more

LOL precisely. Go on and get a Nexus FFS. I'm just waiting 4.2.2/4.3 for touchwiz features. Otherwise I might as well flash Cyanogenmod and get it over with meh. All the incessant whining here is just getting annoying. As if lot of other carriers are rolling out updates readily for their older (relatively) flagships.
Thread closed as is frankly useless.
