Are you going to get the Nexus S or not POLL

So here it is, the Nexus S.
I think a lot of people are mad because the sites like engadget fueled mad rumors about the device and now people are like, meh!
Personally i expected to be like a GSG with some added bonuses.
So what would you do?
I have voted the #2

I feel burned by samsung with the GPS and magnetic compass problems on my Vibrant. I don't know if I will ever get a Samsung again. I had HTC phones for years and never had hardware problems. So I think I can safely say no to the new phone.

Never expect the very best and you'll never be disappointed
I think of the Nexus-S as a good upgrade to the Nexus-1 and I am debating about buying it or not. The Nexus One is the best phone I've ever had and when Google closed down their webstore I thought there would never be another pure Google phone again so I figured I would keep the Nexus-1 for 4 to 5 years (its that good) until it stopped working...
But that damn SuperAMOLED and 4' screen is an evil temptress!!! Sigh decisions decisions

To tell the truth i have used the vibrant for a month after the N1, the Vibrant felt a better phone, sure the plastic build don't help but it is nicely build and the plastic used in the vibrant is from high grade, the molds used by samsung must have been very expensive as the parts were so precise, yes people don't notice that but its there. And overall the vibrant was a nice solid piece.
HTC phones are heavier sure a nice heft is nice but weight does not equal quality, I.E N1 had the ****tiest digitizer, the power button sucks big time. The G2 has hinges problems, the MT4G has the LCD lottery and the FFC being not centered. I don't know why people don't mention that when they say things about HTC. It seems like they only have praise for them. For the record HTC warranty isn't any better than samsung. You have to send the phone in and wait 3 weeks. The only good warranty experience i had with them is the warranty swap of Nexus One but that is the ONLY phone they have such a program.

HTC never had hardware problems? Are you forgetting about the huge multi-touch issues on the majority of their Android devices up until the latest ones? A much huger ****up than Samsung software screwups. GPS is flawless on my Vibrant running JK2 and JK6 froyo leaks. Was on JI6 2.1 leak as well.

I have found a buyer for my N1, selling my baby on Wednesday, waking up going to Tmobile and getting my new baby on Thursday

Thanks slowz3r for the response
I was wondering about doing this option as well and it seems like $350 - 400 is the going rate on Craigslist atm...
Hrm is it worth the $350 (off N1 sale) + $220 out of pocket to upgrade to the Nexus-S?
Maybe I'll just wait the 4 - 5 months for a Nexus-S to go on Craigslist and scoop it up

If I buy the NS unlocked, can I use it with AT&T's sim? If yes then I'm so will be there.

I replaced my first MT4G because of a dead pixel, now I found out that the second one has Inferior display after I did the comparison and the bottom of the phone creaks too. How many times do I have to try my luck now? I think I will give the NS a shot now.

I figure it would cost around 220 to do it with a upgrade so i figure i would be paying the same thing anyways.

Business FAIL: Yes I WOULD order the phone the moment it goes live, BUT Best Buy doesn't want my money.

But those were not hardware problems, they were software problems. Any software problems on the Nexus will be fixed by Google, because Google knows how to program.
Google makes great softare, Samsung doesn't. Samsung makes great hardware, though.

People dont buy this phone for the Nexus name, people buy this phone for the "pure android experience".....and the google and developer support.

Exactly. The only 2 things I hate at Wal-Mart is the stereotypical Wal-Martian, and checking out.
I swear to effing christ if I go to Wal-Mart tonight and have to wait a half hour to check out with 1 thing, I'm going to flipping scream.
On the other hand, if you don't want to shop at the Dub, Wirefly.com has them for 69.99 with free activation and shipping.

It is probably only available to new users or upgrades signing a 2yr agreement.

I think the price is due to the fact that its a horribly made phone. I some how got verizon to take it back even though i was past my 30 days. thank god..set back is that im on a garbage flip untill something worthy comes out. Dont think im gonna go back to android though.
Notice even on ebay people are getting horrible offers for the phone. Samsung has a horrible name in the mobile phone industry....compare it to a moto phone,. Moto phones feel like quality

its free at my local best buy right now on an upgrade/new contract

I've never heard that Samsung had a horrible name in the mobile phone industry. I've heard that they aren't the greatest with providing updates, but the hardware in their phones is almost always the latest and greatest when the phones are released. Given the size and form factor, I can't say that my Fascinate feels flimsy either. If it weighed much more than it does, I'd wonder more about why it was so heavy over enjoying how much more sturdy it felt.
On a more personal note, if all you are going to do is come in here and bash the Fascinate, and not provide anything of any use or substance, I suggest you look elsewhere to read and post, possibly here

The Fascinate is among the best phone, hardware wise. Although, I do agree about the flimsy part. Coming from a Touch Pro, the Fascinate feels flimsy. If you feel that way too, I would recommend the verizon stand case. It adds a nice heft to the phone and feels very solid.
Also, ignore the trolls. I honestly believe that the iPhone is the ONLY way to go for some people.

no i know the hardware is great....if it works properly...ie:gps but cpu and gpu are great.
Yeah i got rid of my fascinate thank god. I came from the iphone on att but left because of the network. And now on verizon i tried android....but there are no quality apps, almost no push notification apps...ie:sports apps
I PERSONALLY believe that the iphone os is much better all around. Im gonna wait it out and hope the iphone gets released on verizon in the next 2 -3 months.
goodluck guys, hope u get gingerbread....

Free Epic with 2 year activate OR upgrade @ Best Buy

pretty awesome deal, also if you're a premier member call them they will waive activation and give you credits

This is what they do to get rid of any stock units. Eol for Epic production it seems.

someone was just talking about it's eol for the epic.. so what's the replacement phone? g2x or something? because as far as i know, im going back to htc.. only because of the dev community, DEF NOT FOR 3D. anyone have a clue??

lol you also get a free lady gaga cd with a 2 year activation

lol figures

ya clearly screw lady gaga but for free? Im all about that. I already have it but def getting it for a family member since we are about to have gingerbread etc seems like the phones about to hit its sweet spot honestly.

Figures, and I just upgraded my phone to an Epic but payed $90 though Amazon. Wonder if I am able to return it and get my upgrade credit back to buy it though Bestbuy. Oddly enough, I went to bestbuy first to buy it to see if they would price match, but was a no go.

Well, that's definitely a kick in the no-nos. Paid $230 7 months ago and now it's free. smdh.

Bought mine back in january, its ok, my next purchase will be a tablet, so ill get all the new feature with that.

I suppose its possible. Looks like they are featuring an Android phone from each of the big 3. AT&T HTC Inspire "4G", free also. Do you think its at end of life? Just asking because I have no idea what it usually sells for. Also, Verizon Fascinate is free.

It's the nature of consumer electronics these days; fast depreciation. It's entire possible that this phone could go Eol in a few months. It is no longer the newest and fastest device on the block.
I wonder if there will be an "Epic 2", or at least a Galaxy S2 with a keyboard. Samsung seems to be releasing a new Galaxy S every year. I imagine we will have more information around late summer.

Crazy Deal! I say you go for the deal that gives you the free Lady Gaga CD.

I'm so pissed that I bought this phone a week ago. Now I have to waste $35 for a gay ass restocking fee. I'm never upgrading my phone through Sprint store again. I'll just do it online now since it doesn't have this gay fee.

Evo 3d
$199
on contract!!!

I think my father's actually planning on getting an Epic in the next week or two. He is impressed with mine and frustrated beyond belief with his old blackberry. His contract is up so at zero cost I expect him to be happy with this. And honestly, a 1ghz phone that will be running GB in the near future w/ a 4in screen and a 5-row keyboard. There's very little that compares.

nice deal, i'll pick one up

Pretty good deal. I love how they advertise the picture of a white i9100 for the front and the back of the real Note lol.

It took them about 1-2 weeks for my keyboard order to arrive, I believe as there is so much demand for the things they sell.

Dude, ive been married almost 3 years now and I know the work-around for your issue. You order it and when it shows up at your door and she sees it you say: "baby, summer is almost here. I got this for you so you can relax by the pool and read a nice book, or listen to music, or even watch a movie if you'd like" The she gives you a big hug and a kiss and when she gets tired of the damn thing its all yours.
PS: replace pool with balcony/backyard if no pool is available.

Am I being petty, pebble blue finish not perfect

Just got my blue SGS3 today and I've noticed one area where the finish appears scratched, but UNDERNEATH the glaze. Hard to photograph with my crappy old phone, but the photo makes it look less noticeable than it really is.
Should I keep it or send it back? Anyone else got this prob?

I see what you mean. Maybe that's the reason the blue was delayed in the UK?

maybe thats the issue they had for recalling all the blues. Yours slipped though the net

Blue went back for a respray .

It's not a cheap phone and it's brand new... I wouldn't be happy with that finish either and would get it replaced.

^^ this. For a phone that costs $700, I'd think anything that looks like it shouldn't be there warrants a replacement.

Take that ish back!

Well I've called up my service provider and they've agreed to replace it with another new one - only problem is that they aren't getting another batch in for 2 weeks new one won't arrive til 27th June...
I can still keep this one til then, but it means I have to baby it/not take it out for fear of dropping it/not root it, basically treat it as a loaner.
I'm half tempted to say f*ck it, I'll just keep it - but you're all right, this is an expensive machine, I don't want a faulty paint job! Who's to say it won't get worse as well, since it's a prob with manufacturing process.

I'd recommend that you tell them your situation that you'll keep it till the new stock arrives and they ship it to you. I remember having a similar issue with my Motorola razor v9 flip phone (att USA). They sent me a new razor and asked me to return the defective phone once I've received the new one. This should work for them.

True, but do you honestly think they are going to open every box and inspect for bad craftsmanship? If they were part of the assembly process then sure, but they merely order en mass and then either drop ship to their customers or reship from their warehouse.
I think the OP is doing the right and ethical thing by not blowing this out of proportion. To many people these days try and milk every little "mistake" that cross their path. But to each their own, the important thing is that he is getting a replacement with no down time and a few bucks for his troubles.

I like the pebble blue colour, a lot. I much prefer it over plain black or white

Think it has something to do with Apple, whether they want to admit it or not. Had a black version been available, I'd have gotten that one, but I've settled with the white version for now(was going for the blue version, but after seeing it in person I'm glad I went with white when the former was delayed).
It'll probably not be that long lived if the Note 2 gets released in October.
