Do u Think Sprint Will Get The Galaxy Nexus? And When?
This was spoken about on another thread, they're saying never, since Nexus is prized for its LTE capabilities, and Sprint is deploying LTE for the first Quarter of 2012. After speaking with Sprint Reps a week ago, they also told me LTE is underway on their new towers, but that it won't be an impressive coverage until the next 5 years.

The thing is i want an awesome phone with updates. Considering i will be signing a 2 year contract and be stuck with the phone for 2 years. I love my epic and can keep it til august i just really want a nexus phone and nexus s is not enough. Maybe if it doesn't come out then next year the The new nexus with Jelly Bean will goto sprint when lte phones should be out already for sprint .

I've been told by an extremely reliable source that Sprint's network re-tool (including LTE) will be completed by late 2013. They are on an extremely aggressive timeline to roll it all out. They can't afford a long, drawn-out one, even if it's cheaper to do.

I half agree with this. I do think Sprint will get it, and I do think there will be 'better' options out there when it happens. However, I think I would rather have a slightly underpowered Nexus than a fully stocked Samsung/Motorola/HTC with the TW/Blur/Sense slapped on top of it.

Exactly plus get updates on time and regularly and have all the nice roms and new version of android for the whole 2 year agreement Then time for a new nexus
Google Wallet?
I think Sprint should get it at some point. Google is working with Sprint for Google Wallet and the only phone that does it is the Nexus S 4G. So why wouldn't they bring the next Nexus to Sprint too? Verizon, ATT, and TMo are competing with Google for NFC payments. I figure that since the Epic Touch 4G didn't come with NFC means, they're leaving that for the Nexus phones on Sprint. Just a thought.
I thought 4.5" screen was huge on G2; GN has a 4.7".
We'll need laptop style carrying bags for our "phones" soon.

Yes but the gn has the capacitive buttons on the screen that takes up some room so they are just about the same screen size.

I have no confidence in Sprint delivering anything according to a timetable. If this phone is really dependent on a network that Sprint doesn't even have yet, I'm guessing we either won't see this device at all, or, as others have said in this thread, we'll see at a point where it's lost all its cachet.

Well, to me it only makes sense that they include Sprint. I mean, the Nexus S eventually came to sprint, did it not? I don't see why Google would exclude a carrier they once worked with, especially if they want more sales.
I hope that link is true Zanderman. I'm pretty sure it is, but there's always that little bit of doubt.

I've messed around with it quite a bit. Performance wise it is better, obviously, since it has a dual core processor.
I'm thinking about upgrading just for the speed. I could care less about the 3D feature. That's just an added bonus.
It's always nice having a family plan with two lines. I get an upgrade a year because my mom doesn't like touch screen phones and enjoys her rumor 2 or whatever I got her last time I was on ebay. So I just resign the contract every other year on each line and get a new phone at the contract price.

Haven't heard of an official release, but I was wondering if anyone has noticed in the Samsung App store that there is an app called Demo Mode for Galaxy S Plus? I'm wondering if this is an entirely different phone that was never brought to the states and had little hype or if this is a precursor to the actual existance of this phone.

4G? I pay $125 a month and all I get is 3G.
My wife and I both have Epics. Her phone had a few bad drops and is about to die. Since my upgrade is coming on Dec 1, I'm planning to get a new phone and have her take my Epic.
But what phone should I get? There's unfortunately no better phone with a physical keyboard, so I'm out of luck there. I don't have a good sense for when the Galaxy Nexus is coming to Sprint so I don't want to end up waiting 6 months for it.
Should I just get the Epic Touch?
Thanks for the advice!
I don't think you can go wrong with the torch. But on Jan 10th they will be announcing some stuff... I am Sure a phone and there lte. I would wait until then.

Hard call. My dad and friend have them and they're insanely good, but all the points given before are true as well. Depends on when the phone actually dies, I guess.
Sprint takes forever to actually release the phones they announce. So you'll have at least 4 months from now before anything extraordinary hits the market, probably longer. If that phone has really run it's course, then yeah, just pick up the Touch.
Ridiculous claim ^^^^
Wait out for the announcement at least so you know what to expect. You can always just turn around and get it still, for cheaper maybe. My friend just got the tmobile varient and WOW it felt great to hold I love me big phones. Lol

I love the touch but the only issue I see is that it has a big problem with LOS (loss of service). I've rooted and flashed several roms on it and nothing seems to help. Besides that it is super smooth and has a screen like no other

As a temporary fix, you can find Evo3D's and Nexus S's pretty cheap used these days. Then if you want to hold on to your upgrade until spring 2012 you will have something to play with in the mean time.
Thanks. I think I will get the touch on dec 1. Wish there were good deals for upgraders. I'm going to have best buy price match Amazon's 149 price.

Personally, unless the Galaxy S III is amazing, I will probably go with the Evo LTE. My upgrade is in Jan 13, so there may be cooler phones between now and then, but so far, I am leaning towards Evo LTE unless the nexus 4 is on sprint by then or the galaxy s iii is considerably better.

I will probably jump to the AT&T note rather than waiting for sprint note. Part of it is that I want to be able to grab a pre-paid SIM when going to europe, which the Sprint version won't be able to do unless Sprint does something drastic. Part of it is that my company has a contract with AT&T for a 20% discount on plans, etc.

I'm not sure.
I won't be on Sprint when my contract is up. They are ripping me the **** off.
So it depends on whether I go T-Mobile or Verizon.
I just got my Galaxy Nexus today! It's so beautiful and it couldn't have come at a better time since my Epic jumped (not literally) off my stove to the saltillo tile floor. I had just ordered this phone a couple hours before "The incident". I'm sure going to miss this community.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I think I'm getting ready to jump ship permanently from Sprint. I haven't had many problems with them, but their network is very inconsistent. I have unlimited data on AT&T and ordered the GSM Galaxy Nexus from the Play Store today for $399. That's hard to beat in my opinion. I might keep Sprint to see what happens with LTE, but only time will tell.
There's no sense for me to even consider which phone I'll upgrade to until I know when the LTE network is coming to my city. I'll also be evaluating how my performance on the network improves (if it all) due to Network Vision. If I didn't have such an unbelievable deal with Sprint I might have moved on long ago, but I hate the pay-through-the-nose, limited data plans on the other carriers.
An ideal scenario would be that in the fall, with LTE on here, and my contract up for renewal, the Sprint version of the GSIII comes out like the Epic, as the clear spec leader with all the trimmings including physical keyboard and a totally solid build quality. And no plan rate increases.

Hands down, a Note - there is no comparison of that device to any other. I've always appreciated convergence of technologies, and there is no better example today than a Note.
Sprint offers a lot which other carriers don't, but after a while you certainly miss what you really want, and that is a solid network, which Sprint isn't. The day the Note arrives on Verizon (hopefully as a world phone), I'm grabbing it regardless of the number of months left on my contract with Sprint.

i like the new evo but no sd card suxs. and gs3 is blow the evo out of the water. time with tell.
Hi,
I was debating whether I should ask this question here or at Spring GS3 forum. I think asking here is more fitting.
I am wondering if I should stay with Sprint or not. I am honestly sick of slow data speed and delayed updates for CDMA phones.
But with wonderful dev magic shown here for our Epic4G, I think there won't be much software issues for GS3.
My alternative is Tmo's prepaid monthly4G for $30 per month. I really like the idea of owning GSM phone and getting unhindered updates from google. But there aren't any nexus phone that is better spec'ed then GS3. Also buying GS3 outright is pretty expensive, +$500.
So, if any of you guys switched to GS3, how are you guys? Any issues or regrets?
How is Sprint's data speed? I just found out from today's news that Sprint's gonna roll out LTE to LA, Boston and NYC area within months.
I just don't want to risk locking in 2 years with Sprint and be miserable...

To directly respond to the OP, regardless of what you decide on phonewise, if it were me, I'd definitely stick with Sprint, particularly if T-mo is the only alternative you're considering. Yeah, Sprint's speeds where NV hasn't hit yet suck, but if they stay on schedule, everything is supposed to be upgraded by the end of next year. And alot more is being done by the end of this year than I'd have imagined when I first heard of it a few months ago.

Well, I am in LA area so I kinda expect LTE to open soon...
But, T-mo prepaid already has HSPA+ working well in my area.
I am guaranteed at least 3mbps with Tmo HSPA+ for sure, and that is all I need.
I like their cheaper plan, but it is bummer to pay lump sum of ~$350 for a year old G-Nex or ~$600 for GS3...
I am hoping for a new nexus device, but no solid rumors about when it will be available... just speculations.
It might come next year, which is too much waiting for me...
If Sprint somehow offers me free GS3 I would stay, but I don't think Sprint can. So I am ready to walk out...
It comes down to if you want the fastest software updates or the best hardware available..
I went gs3 because the hardware is amazing.. and touchwiz really is nice on this thing.. its not like the epic where it just kind of makes things uglier.. it actually adds a lot of usable features on the gs3.. to the point where I would rather run a custom tw than aosp.

It sucks for VZW customers but also sucks for HTC. The DNA's not selling well on VZW and once the SGS4's released won't sell at all. VZW has almost as many subscribers as all of Japan and HTC getting them and the other three U.S. carriers to sell the One under its own name would have been a huge win. VZW not carrying it means HTC lost a little under half the U.S. as a sales opportunity for the One and the DNA's not strong enough against the SGS4 to move the sales needle for them. It's a shame. When asked about devices with larger than 5" displays on an analyst's call in February HTC's CFO said "yes, in the coming months." So maybe there will be a "Droid" by HTC phablet on VZW in the future.

The source is false. I checked htc usa's tweets on twitter. They never posted that
Also the link that the person from twitter refers back to on talk android has been taken down but after some research on my home pc this is indeed true that VZW will not carry the HTC one which to me is just odd in every way

Yes the tweet itself has been removed. Not sure what that means.

Thought we already knew it wasnt gonna be on verizon? You know..until later?
Verizon did get the Note 2?
Verizon is a carrier that wants to have their way with a device. If they can't put their carrier branding all over it and make a weird commercial they don't want it.
CDMA carriers always miss out/ late getting phones. It's best to be on GSM if you like to change phones

Yea the branding on the phone is quite annoying. Personally I'd prefer to do without it

Agreed but there is no indication if they are really getting it or not
