Hi:
I know this forum maybe bias, but nevertheless, I want your honest opinion.
I am getting rid of iPhone, sick of Apple. Having said that, I am thinking about an Andriod phone.
I was thinking about Nexus S. Any other phone that maybe better than Nexus S? Please recommend. Thanks.
If you can get a good deal for the NS then go ahead.
Otherwise if you can afford, save up for a SGS2. The NS is now 6 months old and officially dethroned by the SGS2.
In terms of functionality, I think the Nexus S can still hold it's own. The fact that it's been 6 months means you'll get a better deal. However, do your research, and figure out what you expect from your device. If you want 720p, TV-out, SD Card storage, other bells and whistles; then, this isn't the phone for you. If you want a reliable device with a pure Google experience not to mention some great ROMs to flash, I would recommend the Nexus S.
Quote from this article that I think is pretty spot on: http://thisismynext.com/2011/05/30/coming-nexus-s/
"So what keeps bringing me back to a somewhat cheap-feeling phone that lacks external storage, Wi-Fi calling, Gorilla Glass, and HD video capture?
I’ve thought a lot about that over the past 24 hours, and I think it has everything to do with quality of the overall experience, not just the hardware or the software alone. The Nexus S is my constant. It does everything pretty well, rather than a few things extremely well and the rest poorly. What I’ve come to realize — for me, personally — is that I’ll take a reliable device with middling specs over a monster with crappy firmware every time. What good is a dual-core phone with a laggy UI?"

It depends on what you mean by "better". If you mean hardware, yes there are so many phones that are better than NS. If you mean pure Google Android experience, nothing is better than the Nexus phone series. But again if you mean software and multimedia, there are better phones than NS out there.
For me, NS is better than any other phone when it comes to customization and flexibility. I can unlock it, root it, flash custom recovery, flash many custom ROMs, or even compile my own ROM/kernel and try it without worrying that I will break the warranty. And if you know what you're doing to your phone, I believe it's safe to say that the NS is unbrickable.

Thanks everyone for your 2cents. To be honest, I do not use my iphone other than, calls, txt, gps, yelp, calendar, etc. Nothing more like video, watch youtube, etc. I think NS 2 is a good fit.
I will do some more research. Thanks again!

Yes, but so are all other phones as well... There ARE better phones out there. The hardware of nexus s (except for NFC) was outdated already when it was launched. I'd personally think twice before buying a Nexus S today, but I think I'd do it anyway just for its flexibility and I don't think I'll every buy a non-Nexus phone.
What made you sick with Apple and their iOS? Honestly, even tho I've been using Android for a while now, I can say apple's apps are much better made and more professional looking. Android's apps are all ad-ridden, glitchy, and feels second rate.

I've always read the contrary, that rooting WILL void the warranty. Do you have a specific official statement (from Google or Samsung) stating that rooting the Nexus S will not void the warranty ?

AFAIK, what would void your warranty is unlocking bootloader, not rooting.
My point was because you can easily unlock/lock your bootloader and flash ROMs so there's no need to worry if you want to claim your warranty. Just flash a stock nandroid backup, reboot once so the stock recovery is restored, then re-lock the bootloader and you're good to go.

I think most honest people have to say this. I've had an iPod Touch since 2008, and I upgraded to the 4G late last year.
I've been rocking Android phones for a while now, and I still have to say iOS apps rock. I can make one exception where in the Foursquare App you can change the category of a venue while flagging while you can't do that on the iOS app. Don't know why there's this discrepancy. But even the Facebook App is still TRASH on Android. It's been God knows how long and they can't even make the two platforms even in capabilities.
Actually most apps are trash on Android. Reading through posts, people have been saying, "hey don't worry about it, android is still relatively new compared to apple, give it some time for them to clean up their apps, you'll see." And these posts were from 2009.
Fast forward 2 years later to 2011, nothing has changed with android apps. Its still tacky and not at all aesthetic. I don't think android apps will ever improve and considering how fragmented (meaning too many different versions across the various phone makers) it is, I don't think it ever will unless Google steps in and standardizes it.
Lets face it, apple is the Lego of the mobile world while we android users are the megablocks.

With all N1 alternative threads, I'm surprised I haven't seen the synapse phone mentioned more, so I thought I would start a thread
I am quite heavily considering it. Tho I think I wanna wait for series 2, just to make sure custom rom community is there. Being rooted and unlocked bootloader from factory. But I think I should buy one to ensure there is a series 2
So who else is considering one of these synapse phones? To maybe replace their N1

Man that seems like such a good idea....
The first day someone posted about it on gizmodo or something, I went and looked at the prices. I "built" a phone using all of components that would put it above similar phones spec wise, it was going to cost about $900 USD.
Considering I spent my entire summer savings on my Nexus One ($580 + ~$20 for screen protectors, case, etc = $600) It's not necessarily a good or bad value. If I had that type of expendable income, I would totally go for it!
The concept is cool though - make a phone that caters to your needs. I wish an American company would try this! Maybe Google? "Nexus 2 - Have It YOUR WAY!"

hahahahahaa. Somehow, equating a $500+ phone to fast food just doesn't leave a good taste in my mouth. lol
It's an interesting idea - I won't be in the market for a new phone until September 2011 so will keep an eye on them until then. That should be enough time for them to succeed / fail.
I like the idea of a 3 year warranty..
sounds like a good idea, but they are being jackasses, 256mb of ram as the basic mode want more ram? well pay up, which is just plain 2008 or wifi, 3.5mm as options when these are basic necessities for a smartphone.
Seems more like a dream idea than an actual production device

I'll see how it gets when they start actually selling the phones...it's an awesome idea honestly, I just hope they succeed! Go germans go
3 years warranty? Amazing if true. That alone is worth it! And finally a xenon flash for an android phone.

Because not everyone needs all the bells and whistles. The average consumer doesn't even know what a core is, let alone why they need two to (as they will describe it) "make a few calls, play a game maybe and shoot a couple of text messages."

Because by the time dual cores become actually useful to people who don't play with benchmark tests, you are going to need a new phone anyway.
Having said that, I'll probably wait for quad core phones before I upgrade.

This. If I could survive another year with my Evo I could do so easily with the Nexus S. Seems pretty tempting. Might not be the most epic of upgrades ... and no LED notifications / removable storage is pretty silly in all honesty, but its a step up in other manners.
Too true about the tablet, too. I want a Xoom but not sure I even really need it at the moment. Was thinking about using some of the return on one but I'm not too sure. Time will tell. Hope the Evo3D is cool, don't doubt it'll be a beast.

I have casually tried both iPhone 4 and iPads and never received the impression that they were better spec-ed than the latest Android or even Windows equivalents. Now that Apple is at war with basically anyone who isn't them in tech world, I think they will consistently lose any raw horsepower race (Samsung may not want to sell to them anymore for one). Maybe they will retain an edge in usability for some people, but they are the design kings, as long as you don't despise iTunes like I do, and price gouging.
I'm jumping with my wife. I started on AT&T and iPhone then moved to sprint because cost of the plan. I've seen both sides and so far you can't beat the stability and battery if your willing to drink Steves koolaid!
Looks like I finally made up my mind about what my next phone is going to be. Iphone 5 is it. I was gonna get the Epic Touch but quickly remembered the fact that my phone is on 2.2.1 in an era where Android is at 2.3.6, and how frustrating the Gingerbread leaks have been so far. Not to forget the fact that Samsung doesn't even have the courtesy to share their source code or drivers so that we can create our own up to date roms. I'm never dealing with Samsung again. It's been a nightmare.

As opposed to how up to date Apple keeps their phones. With Apple you don't even have to worry about late updates. Ios frees you from that hassle. You have great, fast, stable, low latency audio software, and you can jailbreak your phone and customize it as much as Android in terms of appearance and functionality. Plus you have much more games and apps. Can't lose.

I bought an S2 about eleven months ago. I was havin some serious doubts which phone to get - it was either a 4S or S2. I looked all over the internet and everything pointed out the S2 to be the better phone, so thats what I chose. It was fine the first a couple of months, but now Im getting really frustrated with this phone. So, my question is how do you deal with roms? I personally, hate the fact how iPhone users have everything best on their phones the minute they purchase it. They've got the best browser, the best OS. You don't have to change anything. I have to flash different roms, which I'm not pleased with. Its either a game crashes on a specific rom, that I like very much. Or the phone becomes slower.. How do you deal with that? I'm planing on going back to GB, since I tried all of the roms on xda and pretty much they all suck.
Get back to your iPhone mate!

The iPhone costs too much in my country, so going "back" ( I've never had one ) is not an option. I dont mean to disrespect anyones builds, I just expressed my oppinion. Im thanking them, for giving me choices, but for me all the choices are wrong.
I had a iPhone 4s and sold it to come back to android, iPhone is locked and restricted their software isn't the best at all
The ROMs work you just have to flash them right that's all, even Sammy stock is more useful then iPhone IOS
If you like IOS flash miui and use that but android is about making your phone what you want it to be not letting a operating system tell you what it is if you don't get that then maybe iPhone is for you

Hello all,
I'm planning to get a new device.
Is nexus 4 good on hardware given that it's made by lg?
Should I buy htc one x+ or galaxy s3 instead?
What are your recommendations?
I can afford upto 30k or 550_600$.
HTC One costs around 43k,if you can afford that much then I would really recommend it.Nexus 4 would be a good choice too.
Oops I meant to say htc one x+

What you mean by hardware?
Build quality?
Yes
Then Slymobi must have something to say about it.Nexus 4 to me looks good,has a much better build quality than any of the Samsung devices.
I'd go for the N4. Purely because your getting a pure google handset, with new updates guaranteed (unlike HTC. Who sometimes cancel or don't even bother to update devices), you'll also get something that's easy to BL unlock, root and experiment with. And being a nexus device, I'm sure there would be a lot try out!

The build quality is just great! Just the speakers and the camera are not as good as the HTC one's. I had both phones One and Nexus and this glass look looks just so much better than the "plastic" from the HTC One X. And it's also easier to root than the HTC phone. It was a pain in the ass to root the One X and to flash ROMs on it. The Nexus is definitly the better choice also in relation to the money,
I'd get the nexus 4. I already have a nexus 4 and it is brilliant. It feels more premium than the galaxy s3 and the htc one x+. Plus it is easier to root and will have excellent developer support. You also get the newest updates from Google themselves.
I have the one x, great device, doesnt feel "cheap" at all, n4, while having more "premium" feeling also can break more easy so keep that in mind.
Also, hox is easy to root, dont know why is everyone saying its hard lol.

Also the latest Nokia lums is good and it doesn't cost a lot.

Ive seen it. Frankly Id prefer android!
The hardware of the N4 is amazing for the price. Fastest phone I've ever used for sure. For value/speed, nothing comes close.
The glass back is fragile so just make sure you purchase the right protection.
Jellybean 4.2 is so good you could use it without the need for rooting

Never happened to me...strange. I think the 4.2.2 update solved this issiue for the most people. I think that happens to maybe 1 of 1000 N4 devices. And if yours is affected you can send it back and order a new N4.
You can still choose the HOX its also a nice device and it has almost no bugs but its got that crappy Tegra processor which seems to be not very familiar with the android system itself and some Gameloft games.
