Hello,
I've owned an EVO since its release date last year and have recently upgraded to the EVO 3D. I like my EVO still becaue it is rooted and great to run AOSP ROMs. But now that I have the 3D I see little use to run any Sense ROMs because Sense 3.0 on the E3D is just so far superior. Anyhow, I am considering trading/selling my EVO for a NS4G and wanted to get the opinions from those of you that have used/own both.
Thanks in advance.
As long as you aren't going for a contract to get the Nexus S 4G, i'd say go for it. As usual, an new nexus is rumored to be right around the corner (Few months?).
Also, Sprint will be pushing a new update for the NS4G that will (should) fix alot of the problems people are having with the radios.
I will got for the nexus own it and love it as aosp but the 3d kick ass with the UI
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d

It would be a Craigslist trade or something along those lines, so no contract. I just feel like the EVO and EVO3D are so similar that its not worth having both.

Get the nexus s; I say let go of your evo 4g so that way if you get tired of driving the hummer (evo 3d) you can pull out your lexus (nexus s) lol. Whats the point of having 2 large phones that are very similar?
Sprint has a tradein prgram...$150 for your EVO 4G....
My wife has the ns4g and be have an evo I would say as long as it's a straight trade go for it. Ns4g is better than the evo in alot of ways but not better enough to shell out cash for. Does oc to 1.4 stable.

Main reason is that I cam trade my EVO with a little bit of cash for a nexus. The SGS2 is demanding a lot of money right now and probably will continue to do so. In addition, if I want the SGS2 I can swap the nexus or 3D for that when it becomes available.

Exactly , so I think you'd be better off waiting. As previously stted, 150$ buy back at sprint on the evos, so you could trade it towards a galaxy s II or something else by that time.
After how HTC handled their last update for the EVO, I'd wait for Galaxy to arrive. Although Samsung's performance with their update for the previous version was not stellar either. But, I think they are being more proactive now.
How wuld I go about this. I want a nexus 4g and found someone willing to trade even for my epic on craigslist. How would I go about doing this? Would I be able to keep my tep? Would I even be able to trade while its on contract? Treading new waters here.. help a bortha out lol

1. If you have TEP you can keep it.
2. Yes you can, as long as both of you are in good standing with your accounts.

So... I would walk into a store with said seller. Tell them we traded phones. They verify that both accounts are active and the esns are clean I assume? If everythings good then thy would just switch phones on the account for you? Would I be able to keep equipment protection?

Call sprint from a separate phone and do an esn swap from your phone to nexus then have him activate or whatever he wants to do with the phone you give him. of course you will both have to be together when you do this. Just make sure you can activate the nexus on your account and have sprint clear your old esn before you give him your phone. Sprint customer service can swap phones very easily over the phone, as long as you're not calling from ths phones you are dealing with.
I personally would feel weird going into a sprint store and take up their time when doing a phone trade like that. That's just me though.

It may sound stupid but my buddy got one and bought a case for it. The looks and feel of the nexus s with a case are PERFECT for me. Feels amazing in the hand with a case. Holding it reminds me of when I had my iPhone 3g. As much as I hated it it felt great in the hand. I could type one handed and type with very high accuracy with my eyes closed.

From what I've been told by a Sprint employee, it doesn't matter where you bought the phone. TEP covers any phone on your line. I have even told them that I bought the phone from someone on Craigslist.

I will be as soon as I know a release date for Nexus Prime. For tmobile that is.
...On a side note, I don't care about your speculations as to whether it is or is not coming out for tmobile. I DON'T CARE. We will find out later that is all anyone can say.
I sure hope it does, looks cool. I've read a couple of reviews on it. So best of luck.

As an owner of an NS since day 1 of BB release I highly recommend you spend your money on ANY non samsung smartphone. Nexus S being no exception. I've been hanging on as long as I can for an ICS device although now looking at the UI I'm strongly thinking about going Verizon and Bionic. I can't wait to relinquish my NS. What a POS.

Sorry for the quality, taken on a MT4G, and I'm not photographer. Last one is just a screenshot of what's on it right now. I'll be using it until I get a new phone around the 12th. I don't overclock it either, for what it's worth.

no international versions come with a warranty. you will have to buy from google if you want a warranty.
I got it straight from Amazon today for 9 bucks more (faster shipping with Prime, easier to return if it is defective). It's unfortunate because there aren't that many great cases for the Galaxy Nexus where you can show off the white.
