My mom has an upgrade available. She offered me her upgrade in exchange for my X2. So what's the best out there as far development and quality goes? The Bionic was my first thought but I'd like an unlocked bootloader and what not so I've been looking into HTC but I'm pretty clueless in the smart phone world still.
Thanks guys.

+1 for Galaxy Nexus
My friend has the TBolt and raves about it all the time.
I would definitely wait for galaxy nexus
Anybody know any approximate release date for the razr or nexus? I couldn't really find anything in my quick google search?
Sent from my Liberated X2!
The Razr pre-orders start today and Droid-Life had a shipping date posted. Not sure about the Nexus
definitely wait for galaxy nexus
I wouldn't go for the Bionic.. Multiple issues.. Supposed to be an update coming soon, but so far, Bionic=HUGE let down. I'd wait for something non motorola. I am wishing I'd waited for the Nexus
Appears everyone likes the Nexus. What is the cheapest you can get the Nexus for? Is it under $50? Is there any such thing as a good VZW smartphone for under $50? Thanks!
Nexus or htc razound but i don't know when they release it. But don't go with bionic . Good luck

How many of you NS4G guys jumping ship to the Galaxy Nexus on Sprint once it drops? Or will you jump to the latest phone whether that be a Galaxy S3 or let's say a Evo 4(if that ever comes out lol)?
Personally I think I'll choose the GNex but those two other phones might just sway me
I'm going to heavily consider it. I really like the nexus s still though

Not sure but leaning towards the GNex and my upgrade is very close.
Same here snowman I really like my nexus s but something about the GNex just makes me gravitate towards it. Unless the release date comes out later in the year then I might just wait for a possible Motorola nexus?

My upgrade is not soon sadly, hopefully I can get one without paying full retail price
I'm like 85% sure I'm getting it only galaxy s3 can make me wait cuz that phone will kill the GNEX in specs but a dual core Nexus is great & we all know when next version of Android comes out the Nexus will always get it before the Rest & touch wiz suck pure vanilla Android is my taste I went from Samsung Epic 4g which is still a good phone to Nexus S4G & I feel like on you go Nexus stay with it!!!

I just upgraded in like October so that won't be happening for me. Lol. By the time I'm eligible for an upgrade again who knows what kind of monster phones will be out. Lol.

Galaxy Nexus sounds nice and everything but I am still holding back for Galaxy S3.
Last year Google(Samsung) released Nexus S and then come Galaxy S2 with incredible spec bum and I think Galaxy S3 will be no different.
I just upgraded this October as well so yeah I won't be getting any subsidized prices on a GNex lol! I really dislike how sprint and American carriers as a whole usually are last in line for phone releases, I'm guessing the nexus will drop around may-june and then the GS3 maybe august or September ? And then the next nexus announced November by then sprint will wait till like may or June like the GNex ... oh man I hate having a cdma carrier
I'm jumping

Unless something brilliant comes with the next flagship phones I'll probably go gnex. Having a 'google phone' has its perks.

You could flash AOSP based rom on it. Since GS2 has AOSP based rom which is stock android.

I would rather just have a Nexus and not have to mess with that anymore.
I'm stuck in a 2 year contract unfortunately but I love my little Nexus S 4G anyway!
I'll get one. You will never be able to tell the performance difference between it and the gs3 anyway other than in benchmarks. The stock google is worth it.
I think this looks sweet.

I just read that the galaxy nexus is coming out April 15th. Oh....decisions!
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
That's a tough call. Galaxy Nexus is an amazing phone, and should be available sometime mid april, the 15th if the rumors are accurate. As a launch day Evo 4G owner, I think it's time for an upgrade. On the other hand, the S3 is an even more amazing phone. HTC One X is potentially an amazing phone, but the latest rumors are saying it's only going to have a dual core on Sprint, so not really worth waiting for me. I need to know more before I can make a decision. If no news has come out by the Nexus release, I may just go with that.
Man i'm drooling over the alleged specs of the S3, but just like the rest of you, i'm debating between the Nexus in April and the S3 whenever that happens (i think the latest rumor is middle/end of June?) I really REALLY want some new mobile hardware, but i think the Nexus is old news. I just gotta summon the will power to wait a few more months!
I'm going to wait for the S3 especially if it comes with a 1080 display.

+1 on the S3 and maybe pick up the new HTC off contract to play around with.

I am eligible to upgrade my X but since I just rooted it (running Gummy ICS coming from .621), it feels like a new phone. I have been thinking of getting the Galaxy Nexus as my next device. Should I wait to see what's coming out later this year? Will the Nexus price come down this summer?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using XDA
If your content with your current device, I recommend waiting.
I think there might be some fairly good phones coming out this summer.

I'm in the same boat, albeit running Liberty v3. What's the general feeling on the GNex? Seems buggy from what I've read, but the idea of not having to wait 6 months for updates to push out over carriers is appealing.

ive got a gnex and LOVE it (no bugs here) but id definitely recommend waiting. this is approximately the worst time ever to buy a new phone...

I know right. I'm hoping that the Droid "Fighter" will release with an unlockable bootloader. Or maybe, some miracle, Verizon will the Galaxy S 3.
Although what I am really hoping for is for the Galaxy Note to come to Verizon as the Galaxy Journal, as it was rumored to a few months ago.
Verizon never gets any phone love.

...an article I found on the 'net listing supposed "official leaked" information about the timeframe for us RHD/RHDMaxx users (and other Motorolas) getting the new 4.2.2 version of Android. LIke one of the comments states, it's interesting that there is a timeframe to update software that we haven't even received as an update yet
Also it talks about a Nexus Motorola... possible next phone purchase?
http://androidcommunity.com/rumor-m...-nexus-and-android-4-2-key-lime-pie-20121024/
2013?
You noticed that, eh?
Keep in mind that we haven't even received the 4.1 update yet, and if it's true about the RAZR X and the Motorola Nexus, our phones are already outdated, tech-development-wise. I was just happy that eventually it will be coming... eventually the key word...
Man I hope the moto nexus is true and unlocked!!!

Really - that is what I want. Razr Nexus. With LTE. On Verizon. With SD support.
Nexus won't be with sd support... Google want you to buy everything on the play store...
After getting burned by moto I was wary of buying another device from them but I got a good deal and a 3year contact moving up to the atrix when it was new, only to get burned even more.
Basically I'll never buy another moto device again and I'm sure most other people here won't either but would you if it was a nexus. To reiterate no I wouldn't.

Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
Just as people are buying LG's Nexus phone (or trying because of small stock), I think people would buy a Motorola Nexus device as well as long as is good
Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
Hate to be that guy, but I can't take this seriously with a misspelling/typeo in the title of the thread. Please fix it.
I think many people even those who were busted with atrix would happily buy a moto nexus including myself.
Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
I agree, you don't buy a nexus phone for the manufacturer. You buy it because the support comes directly from Google. As much as I loathe Motorola right now, and wouldn't buy any other phone from them, a nexus device is a whole different ball game.

Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
NO.
Just because I've been fooled once doesn't mean I'll avoid using their products. I can never find better build quality. I know their software support sucks. But the hardware is really the best. I'm glad to see they still support Droid Bionic which is a 2011 phones. Still schedule to receive JB this year. Atrix HD even is being tested JB 4.2.
No and this should be a poll...
Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
Well, Motorola's hardware IMO are great, the problem is the lack of software support, so, if the next nexus is a motorola I would definitely buy it :beer:
Sent desde mi MB860
Exactly. I am not unhappy with the Atrix, I am unhappy with the support.
If support is coming directly from Google, it would be perfect.
The Atrix is an absolute beast and it is a shame that Moto stopped supporting it.
If it is nexus you do not really need to care about the manufacturer...
it is going to be the first to receive updates official / unofficial and i guess running latest software is topmost priority most people on XDA

Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
If Motorola made a Nexus and supported it like they did the Xoom, that would be great. The Xoom had vanilla Jelly Bean more than six months ago and it came out just before the Atrix.

They're creating the Motorola X, basically a Nexus without the Nexus branding.

I'm not sure Moto could pull off a true Nexus until they stop making Verizon such a priority (think of why the current Nexus has no LTE and recall the short-lived, but damaging Verizon GNex fiasco) . That being said, I would say the odds of me actually buying anything Moto again are next to none, unless they were to sell it at a substantial loss, only then I would consider it.
Re: Would you but a Motorola Nexus phone
It has to be better than samsung phones or at least with similar hardware and a lower price...

I would by one used a bit after they came out if reviews were good. 1st to get updates nice. Motorola repair center has been good to me. Out of 2 atrixes 1 was repaired under warranty and the other replaced twice under warranty. the fact the needed to be sent in on warranty goes against what I keep hearing about build quality. and I love my Samsung i717 running fully functional 4.1.2.
