I've had my Nexus One since April, and right now after seeing the new Nexus S (which is some-what disappointing in terms of upgraded hardware) I've decided it's time to move on. I'd like to sell before the Nexus S comes out since I believe the price of the Nexus One will decrease. I'm currently considering the following: G2, Nexus S, Captivate, Galaxy S i9000, and Mytouch 4G. The problem I'm having is deciding, see I would really love to have a front facing camera which would come in handy for me but, the phones that offer it don't work with AT&T 3G (except the i9000). So, I would like to get a captivate or i9000, but I'm not really fond of the i9000's design nor either's Touchwiz & Samsung's updates. I would really love a G2, since I could easily sell my Nexus and buy one with money to spare in some occasions and it's a very attractive device with great build quality (except for that hinge issue), but again, no AT&T 3G and no FFC. The Mytouch has the FFC, and is a nice phone and all but probably the ugliest thing EVER in my opinion. The Nexus S has everything I want (except for AT&T 3g) but, I would probably have to shell out $100-$200 to get it. So, what I need is advice. If you were in my situation, which would you choose? Thanks!

Still in a contract for another year :/
if i was in your situation i would not sell for a couple reasons
u will get STRESSED going back to edge. i mean its ridiculously slow coming for a 3g one
In a couple months they will be releasing some kick ass phones..wait patiently ..regardless the n1 is already depreciated
You will be trading one of the most customizables phones for some that you are not sure if it ll get the same support
IF you sign up for tmobile you buy one g2 and get 1 free (just got an email about that)

Get a Desire Z from bell canada, unlock it, and that's your G2 with AT&T 3g support.
The one I am impatiently waiting for is the Motorola Olympus for at&t. They say q1 of 2011, which is just when my warranty is running out for the n1.
the nexus one is still one of the best phones currently out there. my opinion at least. i hope to keep this phone another year before i get another itch. til then i hope my N1 doesn't get any scratches.
I'm looking at the desire Z also for the next phone. I'd like the price to come a bit first though. I haven't found it for less than 650 yet.
Wait a month 2 c whats new in 2011...
Went from a Nexus to a G2 then back to a Nexus to make some extra cash to get rid of the keyboard.
Currently I traded my Nexus for a new Mytouch 4G.
It is a very fast phone, solid build, decent camera, and its 4G, not to mention it has some nice novelties like front facing camera and a hard button for the camera and 720p recording out of the box.
Alot of people complain about the UI but i havent seen much slowdown or problems with it. It's a pleasure to use and i have yet to remove the battery bc it froze.
I went from a Galaxy S to the N1.
The screen is definitely a BIG step up from the N1, both in responsiveness and quality.
The phone itself though, frustrating. Good hardware potentially but crippled by bad implementation. Out of the box they are laggy and unstable. The GPS is basically useless for anything other than telling you where you are at that point. Start moving about, and its gone. Then its the going into a coma for no apparent reason.
The N1 is probably just about a more dependable device. Not sure I'd go for the SGS over an N1.
I would try to get a dual core phone with vanilla android. So I recommend that you wait.
my advice is it sucks but you have to just wait for an ATT 3G version to come out. just wait for a nexus S with att 3g is your only choice. the nexus one is still awesome enough to ride it out for a bit longer.

Well, see im stuck in a dilemma. I can either a. sell my nexus one on eBay right now for $450 (offer I just got) and add $for a Nexus S OR b. wait it out. The only thing i'm afraid of is that the nexus's value goes down and when NS comes out everyones gonna be selling and their gonna be a dime a dozen....
SO, what do you guys think I should do? I have until tomorrow to decide to sell...
Personal finances are different for everyone. If U need the bread now for an upgrade, then sell at the best price.
I say wait it out. The Nexus one is going to get Gingerbread soon and the value wont depreciate as fast as you're afraid it will. In a couple of months it will be on a very small list of phones running Gingerbread and people will be willing to pay top dollar for it.
I'm in the same boat. I can upgrade right now but there's nothing on AT&T compelling enough to make me switch. Hopefully CES will give me something to look forward to. That LG Star is actually looking surprisingly good, as is the Olympus, and I definitely want Tegra2 on my next phone.

Just speculating for fun, what do you think the 3rd Nexus will be like? HTC, Samsung...LG? Dual-Core/4.3"/3D? What specs can you envision. The first from HTC was innovative, the current from Samsung brings NFC, what will the 3rd one have? Discuss..

Got a strong feeling it will be a clone of a future phone that we have not seen yet, but it will probably the best of class out of the Tegra 2 Dual Core phones.

True true. It could be the flagship device for Quad-Core and just skip dual cores.
I like Samsung and LG looks promising, I don't think it will be HTC or MOTO since they are both trying to lock everything down right now.
I envision: quad core, 3D, 4.0" screen (I hope), 4G. Hopefully everything else that we have now plus better battery.
A dual core,possibly HTC again,tho there's really no telling, certainly won't run on T-Mobiles network ..(at&t u suck) k sorry back on topic...
I think sprint will get it before anyone else.....I'm thinking Sprint is gonna be Google's new go to guy,especially if and when at&t has its way with T-Mobile .....

Right. And I still think T-mobile will get it first. Google is VERY big on sim unlock phones, because most of the world use GSM technology and not CDMA! Its easier to start with a sim unlock phone first because it can reach more ground that way!
It will either be samsung or LG definitely not motorola since they have been locking bootloaders and nexus phones should be the most hacker friendly android device. It will be dual core or a 3d capable device. G2x, evo 3d, htc pyramid, lg thrill, or galaxy s2 but htc too is getting stricter and google might not want that.

XOOM has a unlocked bootloader. It doesnt even matter what manufacturer its from because Google will ask for it to be bootloader unlock/locked (fastboot oem unlock/lock), I'm sure if Google approached them they would have the honor to do it and just not make it bootloader locked etc. So it doesn't matter what the company's policy is.
If its a Google Experience phone it'd be open. And I wouldn't be so quick to say HTC is locking down phones, or trying to, when we've seen two recent cases.
On topic I hope its a solid dual core (quad! O_O) 4 - 4.5 display SLCD and the obvious goodies inside. And hopefully Sprint as I take this Nexus S and GVoice integration to mean Google and Sprint pairing up.

I thought that too at first, then I was thinking that the G2x is already pretty much vanilla-ish android already, I think a google product would not be diverse enough when compared, and I can't also see a phone rebranded by three different firms. It would be nice though
I think that simms is right, by the time Google decide on a new phone we will be in quad core territory.

Google seems to be showcasing with the Nexus line. "Here's how it should be done."
With the Nexus One Google showed the world how a (non-Apple) smartphone should be. At that time, other smartphones were about as exciting as a 70's Volvo.
The Nexus S showed the US that there is a world beyond carrier lock-in. Unlocked, crapware-free, no contract necessary.
The next Nexus could well be a tablet. "See? Here's how to make a proper tablet!"

Technically that was the XOOM. That was all Moto/Google.
I wonder how the ATT & Tmo merger is going to affect the Nexus line. I'd be interested to hear Google's thoughts on the merger.

I forgot about the Xoom. I was just thinking about their phones.
I would LOVE to see a MOTO Nexus phone. I really love the quality of their hardware. When it comes to durability, signal strength, call quality, and battery life I think they are better than anyone else. I am really liking Samsung too though. Hopefully one of those 2 make the next Nexus.
What's next for you guys? DX2? Thunderbolt or Charge? Xperia Play? Discuss.
Bionic/targa
Sent from my Xoom the way it should be, rooted and with SD card.
Thunderbolt or next HTC device unless the revolution is impressive
Maybe a Charge but leaning towards a Targa/Bionic. The reason I say Charge is because it has great battery life from what I've read. I prefer Moto phones build quality wise.
Beamed from my MB810.
I'm leaning towards an X2 but the lack of LTE may be the killer.
My next phone will be a modern device (front facing camera, dual core, amoled/qHD screen, etc.) with an unlocked bootloader, preferably a four-inch screen, and preferably by HTC.
I haven't had time to look so I don't know the name of this device yet. =P

I know I am going to get some massive hatred for this BUT............ IPHONE 5. I seriously really do like android I have no complaints. Motorola kind of ruined the experience for me, but I was used to using apple software, and I can hack it just as easily has an android phone.
galaxy s 2
im leaning towards the Xperia Play. Ill have 4G eventually with my Xoom so its not vital on my next phone. Plus it appears to come stock with gingerbread and no manufacturer skins or whatever.
Id like to say unlocked bootloader is a must... Those are becoming harder and harder to find hopefully their will be an across the board policy with manufactures to provide u with an unlocked bootloader while refusing a warranty... I thunk id be willing to give up my warranty to have the bootloader unlocked
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
None of the ones listed, they are not that great. I need a real breakthrough phone in order to spend my $200 and lock me up for another 2 years.
Motorola is screwing the pooch. Bigtime. No LTE on the DX2 and the Bionic has 512MB of RAM. Neither qualifies as a true dual-core top-end phone, the Galaxy S 2 will mop the floor with Motorola if they don't get their **** together, and quickly.
@Owen: I completely agree, I'd thoroughly test my new phone then once I know it's not faulty, I'd totally waive the warranty to get the key to unlock the bootloader.

I am going to get off of Verizon and go to Sprint where the data is truly unlimited and coverage will not be a problem because I live in a very heavily populated area.
And DEFINETLY something with an unlocked bootloader
None of the current line up of phones will make me renew my contract early. I'm pleased enough with my DX to stick with it for a little longer while I wait for a truly "next gen" device in LTE & specs.
One thing for certain is my love for flashing took a major hit once I got the DX. A Nexus 3 on VZW would be what I'd go for first. After that would likely be a return to an HTC handset.
I really like the Droid X form factor, maybe the Droid X 2 or X 3

I've been reading a lot of complaints about the lack of LTE and a Front facing camera on the DX2. While I agree its a bit of an oversight, LTE is not available as widely as 3g currently is. So for many users, this is not an issue - as they simply do not have the LTE coverage to make the jump worthy.
Another item worth noting, is the battery drain of these faster radios (4g/LTE).
I am certainly biased, as I am quite enamored with my current X - even with the locked bootloader and small community. However, I forsee the DX2 being a very solid choice for people that don't care for a front camera and LTE. Especially when they drop the price, or Amazon offers it for 1 cent again.

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.

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

same here, i wanted also the Prime and Note
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

I'm thinking of getting the HTC One S when tmobile starts to sell it this month. It looks like a great phone and has all the features I want. Was wondering if anyone else is thinking of getting it.
Its nothing compared to the one s though. Better of waiting for the s3 since you'll be using it for two years.
There's nothing wrong with my vib oozing iced butter and bacon right now.I recommend waiting 4 more months and get the G3 or if tmo could get the htc one X that would be a consideration

i'll probably get one. benchmarks show the S4 dualcore outdoes the T3 quadcore chip. no need to wait around for a One X. By that time, the SGS3 should be out.
I'm actually still waiting for a device for tmobile with a true hd display.. similar to that of the current galaxy nexus. From what I understand the oneX has one but I'm not aware of any plans for it coming over to tmobile. Also personally, I'm not a fan of how the camera protrudes out the back of many htc phones.
Even though I'm quite satisfied with my vibrant running ics passion (occasional gps issues aside).. I've started to notice the lack of power while browsing and the occasional lags more and more. I used my friends galaxyS2 (att) the other day and was blown away at the speed and was left wanting more out of my phone.
I get a sense that tmobile is really dragging their heels in getting better devices. If I didn't have a serious dislike of being on mobile contracts I probably would have jumped ship already. I can live without true 4g.. fake 4g (hspa+) seems plenty fast to me... even my 3g vibrant is probably good enough for what I use the phone for.
I don't know.. just babbling...
and hoping tmobile steps up their game and offers some nicer devices.
All I want is a phone with a 4.7 HD screen, removable batt and micro sd, seems to be hard to find...nothing around the corner, still on the vibrant, nothing in sight so far...Sprint's EVO One (ONE X sprint style) looks great, but it's sprint and their data speeds are crap and no one has them so you use up anytime minutes quick...
There's a few phones I keep seeing, like LG and couple of others, but for some reason the US can't get **** for phones, like the rest of the world does, or if they do it's on att or verizon, and no, I don't want to pay 150/month for my cell phone..
I want a phone with about a 4.3" screen, flash on the camera, removable battery, and Micro SD. Preferably with that new S4 snapdragon... that things appears to be a beast. But I'm looking for a phone that devs are going to get behind. After having been in the Vibrant community, it'd be really hard to live with a phone that didn't have good dev support. I would honestly be really happy with my wife's HTC Amaze 4g if the dev support was more like the Vibrant. That phone is a beast and I can only imagine how smooth it would run with a good rom like CM9 on it. (but it's my wife's so it's staying stock LOL)
The non-removable battery and no Micro SD is a deal breaker for me. I'm also surprised to see only 16Gb of internal storage in any new phone, especially this one.
I need a phone that blows my socks off the same way my Vibrant did after it was rooted and customized. If there are any regrets I'll be seriously disappointed.

I just want a phone whose GPS works reliably and a good DAC. I mainly use my phone for those two things. I was hoping HTC would've nailed a good DAC (as I'm aware that HTC has the best GPS rigs), but it just wasn't meant to be.
I am going to wait for a better phone. The One S just doesn't do it for me. Sure its probably better than the vibrant but if I'm going to extend my contract, which has been up for about 8 months, I'm going to need a phone that I will be happy with for the next two years. When the next generation of phones which are almost here are offering far superior specs and capabilities, it makes no sense to upgrade to a mildly better phone. T-Mobile should see that and not insult us with "little brother" phones. If I'm paying for it, plus two years on contract, I want my moneys worth. I'm a big boy and I like big boy toys.
I would have loved to get the One S, but would never consider buying a phone with only 16GB and no microSD. I can't tell you how much I want to avoid buying anything from Samsung ever again due to anger over the Vibrant GPS problems and lack of update and other support.
