What will your next phone be?

Nexus prime?
Galaxy 2 (or Hercules)
Nokia mango phone
Iphone 5
Etc.
Just wanted to know what you guys plan on getting and your reasoning behind it.

I'd get the Galaxy2/hercules but I don't want it to be another throwaway by T-mobile >.>
Otherwise the HTC ruby and nexus prime look good!

Nexus from here on out for me. Hate how this phone is seemingly already dead when it's barely over a year old and can easily handle gingerbread and probably ice cream sandwich. Not gonna be screwed by carriers or manufacturers anymore.

Nexus Prime would be my first choice.
Second is Galaxy 2 Hercules
Third is HTC Ruby
No Nokia Mango
No iPhone 5

If the rumor is true about the HTC Ruby and Samsung Hercules getting a October 26 release date and the Samsung Nexus Prime coming out that same month, i'll definitely be getting the Nexus Prime. But the HTC Ruby does look nice, just love htc for good battery life and the notification light. Samsung on the other hand is better and everything else.

I am thinking of just keeping the vibrant for making calls and such and getting a 7" tablet.

I'll probably jump on the nexus, CM working with Sammy to make them more awesome that's going to be his baby its a no brainer!

anything without the word samsung on it.

Holding out for the next Nexus Device, but if ICS turns out to be a bust,
Nokia Mango phone. So I can have great interaction between Windows and my phone.
Couldn't give me an Apple product... We'll you could, and I would just resell it and laugh to myself, watching people buy overpriced electronics.

Cool story bro.
I am telling myself to hold out for the Nexus. The Hercules is tempting, but it seems the Nexus gets so much more attention that you can do so much more with it. The biggest problem with my vibrant is my boredom with it.

Nexus ( )

Yep. I grabbed a Nexus S 4G for my girlfriend a few months back. Definitely grabbing the next Nexus - whoever makes it.

Xiaomi Phone??? Possibly just for the hell of it, but for an upgrade I'd go with the next Nexus for support.

Just seen online that Samsung & Google are holding an advent on October 11!!! I just got my. Nexus S4G on Sunday now the primes just s month away or maybe a week after they introduce!!! I'm SIKED now its iPhone vs Prime this month Go ANDROID! !!

I might be ready for some Nexus Prime !

I'm wondering I got the nexus s 4g 4 days ago at best buy & payed them 30$ for there buy back program where I can bring my phone back in 6 months & they would give 50% retail of what it cost so it would be 350$ then I can just pay the difference remaining & can get the Prime!!

You would be better off selling your nexus on ebay or craigslist and then buying the prime.

Count me in. I've had an upgrade since April and have been holding for the GSII, but when I heard about the next Nexus, I decided to hold off until details are confirmed. If it's coming to Sprint, and if so, when.

Nexus S on Ebay used are going for around 200. If he can get 350 back for it the Best Buy buyback thing would definitely be better. Then hit Ebay to get a prime.

a bit strange that they'd bring this out at pretty much the same time the iPhone 5 hits stores, no? perhaps they know something about the iPhone not coming out until later than is anticipated and are hoping to get the jump on it.

I thought the Prime was going to be Verizon exclusive for at least a month or two. Was that just a rumor?

I hope they don't do that, because they'll loose lots of money for doing that but more likely its gonna take some time for sprint to get it, just like nexus s and then few months later NS4G

A sprint Rep told me they are getting the new Nexus but it would be a little after Verizon gets there's it looks as all 4 carriers are getting it which would make sense if they want to go toe 2 toe with crapple I mean apple lol
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

This is my new phone. I don't trust the rumors, but the general sense is that Verizon exclusivity is not going to last too long - maybe a few months. Also, Verizon is offering it as a Droid Prime, so it is likely not to be a pure Google experience phone. I was thinking of jumping ship to VZW due to piss poor Sprint coverage if it was not for the 2GB data cap (generally use slightly more than that a month).

Need help with a decision!

I have a chance to trade my nexus s 4g for an evo 3d. I've been back and forth trying to decide what with the ics launch imminent. Should I go for it?
From Degobah

if you want the OTA updates first, keep the ns.
anyways i would never sell my NS or something. maybe later i'll get the newest nexus (from google.). once I have a google phone its hard to let go of it

Right! That's my biggest indecision! I had the epic before this...and I don't care of it's Sammy, HTC, or Moto, it's going to take a looong time for those phones to get updated. I'm just falling victim to wanting the dual core and bigger screen. Bit after the whole epic 4g fiasco...I don't know if I want to take that risk again.

Stay with the nexus. I just traded my 3d for a nexus.

That's how they make money. Tempt the customers with awesome specs, then make the product obsolete as soon as possible by keeping the software updated for just a short time.
I don't care about the latest hardware, I want the latest software. That's why I'm keeping my Nexus S.

I remember a user here who traded his Evo 3d for a nexus s. Going from nexus s to evo 3d is not an 'upgrade' in my opinion.

Ok. So I was leaning in that direction anyway, even though I almost put it up on Ebay...lol. But you guys are just confirming what I already knew..I just needed to hear some other opinions. Nexus it is. Thanks guys!

I'll bet if you posted this question in the evo section you would get different results....just saying!
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

ahm.. evo 3d is not that good imho. If you are going to upgrade make it at least something like a GS2. Community support for that phone is big. So even if that phone don't get early ICS, the developers will have a stable ICS rom on it.

I was stuck with the hboot1.5 and it was a pain in the ass to root. I didn't want to do it the HTC method. Plus I also noticed on numerous 3D phones that they had an issue with on time and awake time. They would be close to equal. I think it was due to the software 2.3.4

Maybe, but so far I haven't found anyone to trade for an epic touch 4g. Plus after the 2 snafus propagated by Samsung with original epic, I'll pass, plus all the Los issues with it...no thanks. I'm sure for an upgrade in January, so I'll just hold on to this until the galaxy nexus his for sprint.

I will NEVER own a non Nexus Android phone ever again. I'd rather have a iPhone or Windows Phone than a non Nexus.

i traded my evo 3d for a nexus s 4g and $150. I love the nexus s the evo 3d had weak battery, dev community pretty low, and was a brick.

[Q] What do you think is your end of life for the epic?

Hey everyone,
Just wondering if people have an idea of how long they'll stay with there Epic? I don't think I've ever loved a phone as much as I love this one but I'm sure I'll be tempted away by something new this summer when my renewal credit is up.
What about you?

This phone has had such great staying power so far..it does just a little bit of everything just good enough that i'm not tempted to change one bit yet. The only reason for me to change is improved hardware/design plus I think I'm ready to ditch the KB.

Samsung Note LTE for sprint or a quadcore.. whichever I fall in love with first!

Waiting on SGS3. Eligible in July. May just go for the Nexus if the 3 looks like a long wait on Sprint, though.

Waiting for LTE with a hardware keyboard... just don't like the idea of using up all my screen with a keyboard.
I may be waiting forever because these cheap manufacturers don't want to make them anymore.

I just got the epic last week. Running it on virgin mobile. Can't beat $25 bucks a month
Ill probably run the epic for another year or so. Its a still a great phone and a big upgrade compared to my old optimistic v.

I am still getting a Google phone... like I said before, I don't want to be pissed off by samsung's lack if updates, closed source ROM, or HTCs locked bootloaders. I would actually like a Google phone on stock... I don't care if there is 65 core... single core is fast enough and dual core is amazing. Higher on a mobile phone is just stupid until software advances.

The Epic its the first phone that I've had for more than six months and not thought " I REALLY want a new phone!" It's been almost a year and a half now. I might upgrade to the G Nex if/ when out comes to Sprint or a quad core lte...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

I see little reason to upgrade to something else until LTE is deployed in my area now that CM9 is on the horizon.

I might finally be ready for a phone without a keyboard. The Galaxy Nexus keeps calling me.

I will never get rid of my epic but if sprint gets galaxy note2 I will have to upgrade and keep epic for fun. Even better would be a nexus note.

Keyboard or gtfo

I have used Vibrant and IMHO its a piece of crap compared to Nexus but i was using stock rom .Nexus S is much better IMHO.There are so many roms that you can flash..Vibrant was really slow and touchwhiz sucked.

This phone is awesome

I've had so many phones, just sold my HTC Raider LTE and bought this thing not knowing what it was like. The only thing I miss is HD video recording and the camera. Otherwise for a phone that isn't dual core, this puppy is fantastic. I unlocked the boot loader and rooted last night and things just got even better. I don't regret my decision 4 days in.

I love this phone too!
I've had this phone for 4 months now and let me just say that because of the devs here, my nexus s has been such an amazing device. It's pretty cool what this "old" phone can do with all the different ROM and kernel combinations available. I've gotten so much outta this guy it just blew my mind.
I've recently switched to a galaxy nexus but I just really wanted to say thanks and this seemed like an appropriate place to do it.

Thanks to awesome devs here can our lovely Nexus S easily beat lots of new smartphones with bazillion cores and tons of RAM.

Yes me too am still loving my NS that I bought at Xmas.
I'm not really interested in any other phone for the foreseeable future. I was looking at the Galaxy Nexus and thinking of purchasing one this Xmas if they drop really low, but I find the size of the NS absolutely perfect.
At the moment I'm very happy. Best phone I've ever bought.
