Replacing nexus one

Hi all,
Just a quick question, I'm from Singapore and I'm thinking of replacing my nexus one with another phone...
Should I wait for a dual core phone like LG star or just get a galaxy tab now, since nexus s is such a let down...
Any kind advice?

Well the Galaxy Tab isn't a phone; for most people I think that it would fill a different role in their digital lifestyle than their phone does. I'm also considering getting a Galaxy Tab because I would like a medium sized tablet(stream being considered small and 10 inchers being large).
I think if you are OK with your Nexus One then wait for a dual core like the LG or upcoming Motorola. I personally think there are no other phones currently on the market that will feel new and amazing coming from a Nexus One.

Personally I'm getting a G2.
Reasons:
1.Superior hardware
2.I'm an HTC fanboy
3.Here in Atlanta GA you can find them for about $325 next to new on craigslist.
4.I can sell my N1 for roughly $325 or more so there is no out of pocket
expense for me.

Yup... that's what I'm planning too(stay on with my nexus one). The Thing is whether will LG or Motorola launch the dual core phones in Singapore. Motorola still haven't launch the Droid 2 in Singapore yet...

Don't really like the keyboard for G2 (aka desire)

CES is bringing some cool new phones!

With everything going on with DELL and our Venue Pro woes I cannot help looking at what CES is bringing to the table. Lots of new 4G devices and tablets.
Of course I haven't seen anything quite like the Venue Pro, but I am starting to think why deal with DELL and a phone from last year when new phones with faster processors and higher specs are coming soon.
Anyone thinking of returning their Venue in place of a newer device?

I returned mine. Couple of issues that we're deal breakers for me caused me to return the phone.
Yes CES is revealing some very sweet phones, although I haven't seen anything exciting on the WP7 front - especially relating to Verizon.

The (Verizon) Droid Bionic and the (At&t) Atrix are looking pretty tasty. Dual core processors, HD out the box and a mobile PC/MAC integrated platform. Pretty advanced although there is no physical keyboard...

Nothing for T-Mobile except for the Motorola CLIQ 2. :|
I will just wait for MWC.

Yeah I think MWC is the event to wait for. Gave up on the DVP myself and got a 16GB Omnia 7 which I'm very pleased with. It will keep me busy until the end of the year when some really good WP7 devices should be available.

The Omina 7 is a great device if you live in Europe. But I think all of the devices will see improvement with software updates this year.

Does the Omnia 7 have Tmo 3G for data? Thanks

personally only the atrix interests me the other phones are pretty much more of the same i'm a little saddened at the keyboardless/plastic/slate trend at ces
i'm a little more interested in filling the tablet/ereader slot in my egadget collection dvp covers the smartphone slot at least until the summer

If we're talking about North America, the answer is no. The best the Omnia 7 could ever do in Canada or the U.S. would be to use 2G (EDGE) on T-Mobile, AT&T, or Rogers. The 3G bands aren't compatible with any of our carriers.
Which is a crying shame, of course - if you can live without a hardware keyboard, it is a near-perfect form factor.

Yeah, sorry was asking about the US. Edge is really slow on Tmo US here. Are you using Edge in Canada? How is the speed? I prefer the Samsung phones over the Dell Venue, don't like the HD7 screen though.

What are your plans about new Samsung Galaxy S III

You gonna buy new Samsung Galaxy S III soon?

Yes, I have mine pre-ordered from Amazon and will be taking the 30th off work to take delivery and play with my new toy. []

Im putting mines straight into service playing music off my network drive between bands that night.

Define as good, personally I believe it's better. Hate HTC, worst battery out there and now they sealed it. Nahh thanks.

I will buy it when it's available on Verizon in the US. Like, the 1st day it's available!

I might when the price is down, whether the screen still retain all the issues from previous Samsung phones and with the news of upcoming Nexus devices, I'm waiting for now.

No pre-ordering yet, just waiting, but I will see what people think about it, and then consider buying it later.
For one thing, the price does matter.

Definitely yes

The endless addiction!
Just bought an xperia S and already impressed with the S III, although i hate touchwiz as an experience from S and S II but i guess i'll give samsung another chance with the S III !!!

Good to know most of people keep updating their devices to new models, good job!

1st day purchase

I'll get it around the start of June.
Getting it off Handtec UK.
It's around 720 Australian dollars with shipping.
Since I'm an international customer I won't have to pay for VAT.
That'll make it much cheaper than buying it here, it's like 799 for 16GB.

Waiting a month or so might be a good idea. Price will drop

I'm curious. Why'd you "jump ship" to One? Reason I'm asking is my wife's second digitizer (replaced ~1 month ago) is going out and upgrade is due 1 APR. If the One is delayed TOO much, we may have to get a different phone, and the S3 is a candidate. Thx

I want to sell my sg3 keeping my hox, still on fire... I m in Argentina but cant find buyers.. Thats bad:banghead:

Congratulations

I have just got a HTC one to replace my S3.
The ui is far more basic (or close to stock if you prefer) but the speed is awesome and I think I prefer the more natural screen colours. The definition is amazing.
Overall I am more than pleased. Only 2 days in but I have to say that this is my best ever phone. Only thing slightly lacking is it couldn't wait for the 64gb version and I have a LOT of music but I think I will cope with the 32gb version)
The very best feature in NO LAG! I have been waiting for that so long! Even faster than the Nexus 4. In fact this is the phone the nexus 4 should have been.
There have been iPhone muggers before but this Is the iPhone killer!
Android ftw!

I did the same wanting clove send me.

I'm dumping my Sprint Galaxy S 3 as soon as I can get my hands on this phone. Every review I've seen so far says it's the best phone they've ever rated. Period. Looking forward to a quad core processor.
The GS 3 is OK. The GS 4 looks like more of the same with a quad core. Touch Wiz sucks. Running other launchers has really screwed up my voicemail. Rooting is a bit out of my league.
Sprint still doesn't have 4G in NE Ohio. Sprint 3G is SLOW. Any suggestions for the best network speed from a major U.S. carrier ?

NE Ohio here as well, Youngstown area.
I personally love my gs3, just like new technology and stepdaughters windows phone needs replaced, so she is getting the HTC Amaze and wife will rock the S3.
As far as provider, I like T-Mobile in big cities, but the Bonies it gets rough. I get 20mb down and 3 up on their HSPA +.
Verizon is the best for overall. But they are more expensive than anyone else, but great coverage and great speeds.
If not those two, then would make at&suck next in line.
Sprint is God awful round here.
Sent from a galaxy far away!

If rooted I'm sure there will be ways to force roam on Verizon.
@OP If the quality of the camera is the only thing your concerned with, I really wouldn't worry. HTC nailed with the evo lte camera and by all accounts the ONEs camera is better again

Hero
as mentioned sold the SGS3, ordered the Black, changed my mind ordered two Silver Ones......hopefully one of them will be a keeper.
Current interim solution - HTC Hero.......

I'm due a free upgrade, so am keeping my 16GB S3, purchasing a 64gb SDcard and using the S3 purely as an mp3 player. The Wolfson dac is more than excellent.
Will then keep the storage on the One free of music and ensure the 32GB version is more than sufficient for apps and videos/photo.

That's nothing, I'm using my girlfriends old lumia 610 and of course it's a pink one.. ~4 weeks to get ONE :crying:

Having spent time with both, the S3 has more features but I mean when really uses them? The One is a more clean and simple phone with a premium feel. For me personally its hit the sweet spot

another sammy user here, moving from galaxy note to htc one! hell yeah.. i tried the device during a preview here and was absolutely blown away!! gonna be amazing!

Same. Waiting for black 64gb to replace my s3
Now if we all fall in love with HTC and sense and don't go back to Samsung in the near future, I can say that this is their fault for not developing a new design from sg3
Got so disappointed when I saw the unboxing and don't intend to buy a Samsung again.
Since I expect their sales to decrease a lot compared to sg3, they might come with a awesome phone next year. But by then it might be too late cuz everybody who tests sense after been using touchwiz, won't turn back again.

Hey all. Just started this thread for all the uk people to congregate Getting ever closer to the release date.

Unfortunately I've only just got a G2 on contract a couple of months ago. So unless the G3 is competitively priced I will be staying with my G2. I'm very happy with it I just get jealous and want the newest when I see there's an upgrade ha ha.

I am in a similar situation. I'm still using my Nexus 4 (great device) but looking to upgrade once it's nearing 2 years old. The price is a huge factor in what device I'll upgrade to. I'm sold if it's <£350 but my hopes aren't that high to be honest.

I have the M8 and I am going to get either the G3 or the OnePlus ONE. The M8 is a good phone but it hasn't really wowed me. I prefer the design of the original HTC One, I would rather have 32GB internal instead of 16GB+MicroSD, the camera isn't particularly good and the build quality has been a bit dodgy. It picks up small scratches and nicks really easily. Whilst HTC Sense is one of the nicer UI's the new LG Optimus UI is looks great based on the leaks. The only real positive I can say about the M8 was the battery life which was solid.

hoping for SD 805 (slim chance)
but minimum must be waterproof, have an SD card, good camera and a 3000mah battery....
due my upgrade today from my s3 but still not 100% on the LG g3 till the launch announcement.

I'll stick with LG from now just because of the battery on the G2. I've had a LOT of android devices in the past few years and never seen one like it that just keeps going and going. I double the screen on time i got out of my N4.

What do you reckon to the size of the m8? My biggest concern about the g3 is size at the mo. Will have to hold it in my hand and see. It looks about the same size as the m8 but wider, that's why I ask.

I just don't know what to do at the moment. Still have my Galaxy S3 and love it but been thinking of upgrading and passing it on to my wife.
Been looking at pre owned handsets on eBay like the HTC One M7 & LG G2, then started looking at the new HTC One M8 and now the LG G3 has caught my interest along with the OnePlus One. Only thing that's putting me off slightly is the SIZE!
Need to buy Sim free as don't want to be tied in to a contract. Will wait and see on expected price of the G3. Does look nice with the metal body.... :good:

The M8 size isn't too bad to be honest. So I assume the G3 will be fine for me.

I do love my M8 but my new-phone-a-holic tendencies might have me looking at this, especially if the £450 SIM-free price I've seen bandied about it true...either that or get a OnePlus One when they're more readily available (or the next Nexus, etc...)

that £450 price is most likely for a 2GB/16GB version. I had an M8 for a week and returned it because I couldn't get over how big the phone was for the screen size.. just too much wasted space and the stereo speakers aren't worth the sacrifice to me.
According to rumors, the next Nexus, which is going to be called Silver, is slated for February. And the OnePlus probably won't be readily available for another month or two outside of China. Hopefully the G3 has an availability soon.

If I was to go back to Android I would most likely pick the G3 at the moment, but I am a bit suspect about its size.
