This.... sorry but a 4.5 inch phone............ might as well be using my Galaxy tab 10.1 as a phone.... of course i'm exaggerating but i didn't overall like the experience with my previous phone, HTC Evo which was a 4.3" phone so, I really can't imagine a 4.5" phone. To me the NS has the perfect form factors and i won't be going above a 4' inch phone.
im thinking about it knowing the nexus prime/3 coming soon think ima wait a bit i prefer stock android over touchwiz but who knows i might wake up tomorrow and decide to buy it
Who's paying full price?

What is full price? I have an upgrade due October 1st so I'm hoping news about the Nexus Prime will be out...
The phone will be $549 I think, isn't the Nexus prime coming out for Verizon though?

Disagree...not waiting for devs to unlock the bootloader is the best feature of the phone.
Although the curved screen is sexy.

Phone is too big.
I think this is just the Galaxy S hype that we saw the first time around. Everyone will get them again and 6 months down the road we will hear everyone that owns one complain about not having ICS yet and how Samsung never updates their phones. Blah...blah...blah

I cracked my phone screen today on my epic 4g and the sprint rep told me it had to be a 100$ insurance claim to get a new one but offered me a new phone/free upgrade instead so I picked up the Nexus S 4g!
Was wondering what the most stable rom with best battery life for this phone is.
Interested in BLN mod for sure, but besides that, just stable(minimal bugs) and one that drains the least amount of juice.
Thanks!
Welcome old fellow epic user I would recommend crossbone if u want ics it doesn't have bln but u can flash a kernel that supports it like galados.

Congrats for getting rid of that soul crushing phone.. I had the Epic 4G for close to a year and hated most of my time with it.. Wasn't as soul crushing as the Samsung Moment I had before it but it sucked pretty good on its own right. I can only best describe it as a constant beta test.. You'll love the Nexus S and like me should convince you to never buy any phone again that isn't a Nexus...

I just made the switch two days a go and am completley happy with my choice. Much better phone, and I still have one more yearly upgrade next year, so I didn't mind getting this phone for free. Already rockin AOSP ICS, and I have no regrets.
I just made the switch from the epic 4g this week myself. Can't say I miss it. This phone just plain rocks.

I can tell you that the AOSP rom of ICS based on the update is more stable and fixed all the problems and bugs I had from my stable stock GB rom. Go ICS. You'll never look back.
The epic 4g is still a good phone I've had both I gave it to my mom I've had the nexus s4g for 3 months & I like it better I feel like for now on its got to be a nexus or nothing I'm waiting on sprint to get the galaxy nexus if they ever do get it the only thing I would take from the epic 4g & add it to the nexus to make it better is the camera & 720p video but nothing else

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.

There is already a nightly for the international version so probably in few days / weeks a nightly will hit our version, I hope..
Is anybody even working on a CM9? I think it will take quite some time as the cpu and antenna is different on the US version since it uses LTE and all developers seem to concentrate on the international version only.

that's two drivers that have to change. porting it from the internation version shouldn't be hard. I'm staying with this buggy unofficial version on my EVOLTE cause I can't stand Sense or TouchWiz
I might stay stock until jellybean comes out, and I have a feeling our guys will do a pretty good port on it.
try this for now, if it's gui stuff
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746427
I believe CM has already announced that as soon as Jelly Bean source is out (since they're already at RC status with CM9), they will stop development on CM9 and go forward with CM10.
From the CM Google+ page: Our goal is to release a stable CM 9.0.0 (and any needed .1’s). After that, we will work on CM7 and CM10 only. As stated above, CM9 devices are highly likely to get CM10, so maintaining a separate class of devices for CM9 only is inefficient.
Now back to the original post: I also miss CM9. I think CM9 is far superior to TouchWizz. Once CM9/10 is released for my GS3, I'm rooting and switching.
I will also likely never buy anything but a Nexus phone in the future, and in some ways, regret not purchasing one this time. The only saving grace is that buying a Nexus and switching to a T-Mobile Value plan would have only saved me $5 per month due to my grandfathered plan, so it's actually cheaper in the long run for me to get the GS3 on contract.
In my opinion, the galaxy s3 is way better than the nexus, even with the nexus running jelly bean.

Sadly I think I agree with pig vomit. I miss my captivate running pure ics.
Can't wait for some Jelly Bean hotness. I'd certainly settle for pure ics for now
By the time they release a CM10 for our phone the next Nexus will be out. Rumor has it Google will introduce 5 Nexus models this year. Let's hope that's true. I learned that with Android phones if you really want good rom development you need a Nexus or wait for months on end for a decent rom like CM.

Yep, same here. While Touchwiz isn't my favourite, I can definitely manage using it for another month or two until CM10 is released. At that point, I don't think I can wait for Samsung's ridiculously slow updates to make its way to me.
