@OP
if u can wait 1-2 months then u should go for Galaxy nexus.
or u can also buy Galaxy SII.
I must say wait and see between galaxy nexus and sgs2
the phone that will win get that one
the prototype galaxy nexus out their are not good(they can't even run flash player now)

But in his budget he can't get sgs2 and he can get optimus 2x in INR 25000
And sgs2 is like 28500 to 30000 price varies in different areas...

I was thinking of changing my phone also, but why change to a dual core when at the begining of next year 2012 the Quad Core phones will be rolling out. Just hold on to your money and wait for the next gen of processors. My X10 is sufficient for my needs right now so I'll just wait.

Well see thats my question.
will the Evo 3d be a Lg phone or a htc phone?
It has that Samsung feel to it, but it's a pretty sweet phone. It feels solid and the little chin bit feels nice in the hand, but I'm not huge on the plastic myself. Nice to see it at least come to Sprint, I'm not entirely sold on these dual cores as I don't game or take in a whole lot of media on it sans music / random videos. 3D phones ... ehh, it should be the big phone of the 2 and I know the 3D toggle will be there ... and there is all that talk about 3D on displays that don't really do it justice ... blah blah blah. I'd consider the Nexus S, especially for just a year. Will be interesting to see what is what.
I'm itching to find out how much it'll sell for. I don't have any problems with selling my Evo to get my hands on a Nexus S on Sprint.

they will soon. probably at ctia. but their dual cores are inferior to the tegra/samsung dual cores. @ 1ghz vs 1ghz, htc/qualcomm's is about 25% slower. qualcomm is setting them at 1.2 ghz so it'll make up some of the gap but power consumption will shoot up plus the tegra 2 is 5nm smaller so tegra 2 is overall more power efficient. i'd personally want a tegra 2 but not much of a choice.

why is this being posted again now? This was shown in the other lengthy thread about the new phones coming. Site has been like that for a week, and I wanna say someone posted in that thread saying the nexus one has been like that since it was rumored to come to sprint a long time ago too, and ended up not.

Its just hard to take Samsung serious when it comes to phones. I mean the rule the tv world but I just don't like how they support their phones(taking forever with updates/fixes). Very hard to believe the nexus s is a sammy product and not an HTC.
Nexus S IS NOT SAMSUNG's. For the last time, GOOGLE wanted the phone, GOOGLE gave samsung the specs, GOOGLE tested it, and it's aosp. It is no where close to the **** support that the other samsung craphones get.

It has Samsung insides, its plagued with some galaxy s bugs and they threw aosp on it. Hate to say it buddy but its a Samsung phone IMO. But thanks for your angry reply, wasn't necessary but I appreciate it.

Thats true the best phone upgrade would be to go for galaxy S
Defy is not much of an upgrade
The next best option is nexus S , in India its price fell yesturday to INR 20K(S-LCD not AMOLED)
thats around 300 Euros
By 1 month both galaxy S and nexus S price might fall again

yes but i don´t like the ace becouse it has a bad software developement.
I must have cynogen becouse i use a bluetooth keyboard and the hid apps don´t work.The sgs would be cool becouse the gaming ist better than the galaxy 3 and the defy is waterproof and has a gorilla display....
and a htc desire?
Go for motorola atrix, tegra 2 omg... or wait till samsung releases sgs2 tegra 2 version.
Sent from my GT-I5800 using Tapatalk
Apparently it will be huge. Maybe even 5". Powerful guts and an HD high resolution screen as well. I know that maybe too big for someone but it would be perfectly acceptable for me. What do you guys expect? Do you think it'll blow the galaxy s2 out of the park?

Doesn't look that way since article states :
"The device is expected to be powered by either Texas Instrument's OMAP 4460 chip or an ultra low-power 28nm Krait-based Snapdragon processor from Qualcomm running at 1.2GHz or 1.5GHz."
There could be manufacturing delays with tegra 3 so they might stick with dual core. Instead of releasing with a dual core at end of 2011 they should release with a quad core in beginning of 2012.

I guess I can't turn back now. I already have sold my Galaxy nexus and waiting for the nexus 4 to come out. I just want your guys' opinion. I sold my nexus for 270$, Do you think that was a solid price? The nexus 4 will cost me about a hundred dollars extra (Canadian tax+shipping). Do you think it was a worth upgrade to spend 100$ on? I am getting the 8GB version by the way which is enough for me.
I did the same thing for the same price. I cant wait for my shiny new 4!

Well the guy from computer world that reviewed it said to upgrade from the Gnex. I may wait until closer to christmas time (or black friday) to see if there are super quick deals somewhere.
I guarantee if you wait longer, google will release a 32gb Nexus 4 for 349.99 and the 16gb will get dropped down to 299.99 just like what they did with the Nexus 7's.
I'm keeping my gnex. Don't see any major differences between gnex and nexus 4. Also I'm not a big fan of LG, they don't have a good track record with releasing drivers. Maybe LG will improve but want to wait and see.

That's actually a good deal. However you could get 32GB for same price approximately in the near future.
Sell the GN for about $200ish, then spend about $380 (tax+shipping) for the N4.
If you are financially able to drop around an extra $180 for the upgrade to N4, then yeah it's worth it. But if you're breaking your back to spend that $180 or so, then no it's not worth it as the GN is still more than a capable device.
That should pretty much sum it up. Good luck!
