Does anybody want to trade their Nexus S 4G for an Evo 4G? Thought I would ask...gf likes the nexus better because it's smaller. Evo is mint btw.

You would have to be crazy to trade a nexus s for an Evo.
Well I'm hoping to meet a crazy person.

As much as I love my NS4G, I would be willing to trade it for a EVO in a few months, based on these things:
If there isnt any sort of update to address reception issues.
If the Photon's bootloader is locked
How many issues the 3D ends up having.
I obviously dont want to take a step back going to the EVO, but I really dont want to be stuck with a POS either. I have a sprint tower a few blocks from my house and have to have my airave plugged in for my phone to work in my house. Thats unacceptable. I was a little more ok with it a few weeks ago when I figured an update would be right around the corner. Every day that goes by makes me doubt that it is anything an update can fix. I really want the Photon, I love Moto devices. I had the Droid 2 and the Droid X and both were very solid phones with great radios and battery life. I expect more of the same from the Photon. But if its locked I dont think it will work for me. The 3D will be a buggy device for quite a while and I dont really want to deal with that, I just sold my Thunderbolt because of the issues it had.
I guess my point is to be patient, someone will want to make that trade eventually, maybe with some cash included also
A tree took my cable wire out yesterday. I had no internet, so no airave. Well, my NS4G was completely useless til they came and fixed the internet. I had to sit outside to use the phone. Wouldn't even send a text.
You sure you want this phone?

I too have noticed slightly lower signal reception... however at work I would be stuck on 1x or no service on my EVO... with the NS4G I always have service, even if it's roaming.
Yea, don't get me wrong, I live in a basement apartment so every phone sucks down here. But I didn't have the airave til about a week before I got my NS4G and my Evo and epic both worked, the Evo better than the epic. NS4G won't work at all down here. I left for work this morning and got flooded with emails and text messages that weren't coming through because I had no service.

So Ive had my nexus since launch. The phone I have been waiting for, a google aosp device.
Now Im a pro nexus person but recently the phone has been just getting on my nerves. Im trying to debate if I should call it quits and see if I can get sprint to swap it for another device. My issues with the other devices, is sure the 3D looks nice but in reality its just a gimicky evo. And I wouldnt want any other phone other than the sgs II (maybe) or the new nexus (when it comes out) but I have already sold my evo so i need something.
Here are my issues.
1. The reception issues with my particular handset are awful. In 1X when I have 3g on my Blackberry, wifi sucks ass.
2. No sd card. I dont really know what to say here. I knew this going into this phone so I cant fault the phone there.
3. No back light (I can deal with this thanks to bln)
4. The volume level (loudness) is just wack. Voodoo helps but really its wack.
5. The battery life isnt all that great, some of this could be due to the radio issues.
I guess my only real issue here is the Reception issues. Some times I can barely even send a text.
I dont know. I like my phone kinda.
If your reception is bad primarily at home you can get an airwave free, I did and it works

My airave did little to help my at home service. I personally had enough with the service issues I had with my nexus. I am running an evo til one of 2 things happen. Either Nexus gets an ota update to address service issues, or the photon drops, whichever comes first. Nexus s is a far superior device to the evo 4g, I am very aware of that. But I have 100x's better service everywhere I go. I miss my nexus already and it hasn't been a day, but I love having awesome service, so its a trade off.

my issue with that is it says it addresses 4g and wifi, both of which i never had a problem with. im gonna hold out and if it really fixes the radio ill have get a new nexus.
It says improved signal acquisition. That is what you are looking for.

Sprint agreed to replace my EVO with the screen brightness problem and offered me a NEXUS because the EVO is currently back ordered, I declined, good idea?
Its watever your heart desire....but I would choose evo then nexus

That's an awesome trade if you don't mind the smaller screen.
That's the ONLY thing holding me back from a Nexus.
Also, given that the Evo doesn't have root, Nexus S looks more appetizing.
Nexus baby!

Dude Im trading for the Nexus too unless someone unlocks this phone fast I need my CM7.....I just bought the Evo and was unaware of the update issue if I had known I was have the Nexus now. When is the Photon 4g coming out?
Nexus only has an 8g internal memory. No sd card.

You mean 16bg not 8 but still no SD card slot but I only own a 8 gb card so its a win for me not to mention on CM7 with my MT4g I was getting 35 hours+ on one charge and not the Nexus have a auto kill built in and I don't mean the froyo crap but a real killer and the volume with my skullcandy sounds like subs...I have to have this phone.
Considering that the EVO has no root right now yeah, I would have taken the Nexus.
EDIT: That being said, if anyone has a Nexus only because they have/had a non-rootable EVO, PM me if you want to trade.

At this point, as a matter of principal -- I think I would have chosen the Nexus (if you care about root.)
Even though the EVO is the better phone, people of this community to continue to support phones that are being locked down on purpose, and then re-locked on firmware updates seems detrimental.
Unless of course you are someone who enjoys hacking, cracking, exploiting, or waiting for a security hole -- just to maybe someday have root. Personally, I want to go with a phone where most of the development time for custom roms and mods does not have to be wasted cracking boot loaders.....

I'm in the same boat as you. Light leakage, slight screen separation, and the bright white spot on my screen. I will gladly take a Nexus, the question still remains.

I think that karma must be messing with me, because this afternoon my EVO was damaged catastrophically. I thought to myself "no biggie, because they're going to offer me a Nexus when I try to replace it so I won't be stuck with a non-rooted phone". Well, bullsh*t. Assurion or whatever the hell its called said they had plenty of newer EVOs available.
Would love to know how you were offered a Nexus, bud, because I even went through retentions trying to get this resolved and no dice. They did offer to pay half my deductible, which is something, but boy am I pissed off right now.
Probably because his was a warranty issue not an insurance claim.
For the record, I'd take the Nexus S.
So I have a opportunity to use the stratosphere (temporarily) for a few weeks. I'm an Epic user. I got to say that this phone is the Epic done right. I like how the usb port is on the bottom of the phone which doesn't block the headphone jack with a L shaped charger. The phone is running Gingerbread stock. LTE definitely has better coverage in my area. The back piece is textured and feels good in your hands. It's definitely the Epic done right but it's late to the party. For $99 its not bad.

Yes but its a dumb time to buy it now, considering that its kinda low end and on other carriers, you can get dual core smartphones for that price.

so my options would be data capiping with outrageous fees for 4g, or .25-.5 mbps (closer to .25 most of the time) download 3g where i live. man all of these service providers give us so many options its not even funny. either way you have to spread cheek and accept deeper ramming.

A coworker got two stratospheres for free on launch day at radio shack. Great phone for free! The battery looked different to me. Jealous watching him pull 13mbps down on LTE.
I love my Epic. And if I had to switch to Verizon, I would want this phone. At least until I could afford a nice, new, shiney phone with a bigger screen and no slide out keyboard. I'm getting so tired of the thickness of my phone for a keyboard I don't use.
I think it's kinda weird, though, that Verizon is getting this, considering I thought that the Epic is nearing it's EOL.

My cousin just bought a droid 3 (lul) and he went over his 2gb and got charged$10 a gb after that but he didn't know that gps uses data and syching his account in the background andfacebook etcetc uses up his data allowance that fast.
I'm grateful for unlimited and I'm lucky enough to be from nyc so I get great coverage and speeds (till I leave the city :[ )

this. my friend at work just got a droid 3 and got hit with 60 bucks in overages for using 8 gb. he doesnt tether or netflick or anything.
My wife and I both have Epics, but she's dropped hers enough times now that the screen is totally cracked and it will need to be replaced... Rather than pay to repair it, I'd rather replace it... But with what? What's the best thing since sliced cheese that's available (or will be available shortly) for Sprint? Looking at the current stock of available Sprint phones, I might be inclined to go with the Galaxy S II / Epic 4G Touch if it weren't for the fact that I'm so unhappy with Samsung's dismal support for the Epic...
So what does everyone recommend? Is there something coming out just over the horizon that we should hold out for?
If you need something now, nothing.
But if you can wait a bit, the galaxy nexus should be coming to sprint.
The gs2 has better specs (sans screen) but the nexus is guaranteed to get updates unlike our epics

If it still works I would wait for the LTE handsets in 2012. The 800SMR coverage will be a big plus too.

you could always buy a nexus s 4g off ebay for like 200 bucks. then sell it on ebay in a few months when the galaxy nexus comes out for maybe 100 bucks. i hear the photon is pretty good.

If im not mistaken, I think you can still connect to "regular" 4g if LTE isnt available
Or do you just not 4g where you live in general?
Pretty certain there is no wimax (regular 4g) on the new Evo. I've read the 8960 chip can't/doesnt support it. So I don't believe that's an option.
