Hey guys, I was a older nexus user and after getting many phones(I have a sensation) I'm getting a nexus again. I'm trading my senny for nexus S and a Samsung infuse 4g.
So why are you guys still with the nexus? Reasons?

Because I can't afford another phone. Lol. Well part of the reason. I actually enjoy the community support and see no other reasons to upgrade. My phone does what I need it to without any problems. My next phone will be a GNex, but I'll probably run this thing into the ground before then. At least I'll have saved up enough by then.

That's cool. For spem reason, this phone looks amazingly sexy. And in hand it feels the best than any other phone

I quite like my nexus, but the main reason is, that there is nothing extraordinary about new phones.
My nexus can perform smoothly, any task i need to do( i don't play games).
I'll upgrade at the end of the year,
hopefully till then , they will be able to sort the battery life and use more efficiently front panel,
to fit screen.
I'll would love, to have bigger screen, although not at cost of carrying mini tablet in my pocket.
Because I am not a fool that constantly goes out and buys the latest and greatest phones for a big e-peen.

+1 This phone is smexy! Plus, I really don't see a significantly better speed increase on my friend's GNex... They do everything at roughly the same speed!

I use a galaxy tab for my larger screen fix, so I prefer the smaller size and weight of the NS, not to mention the it's superb performance.

Just buy a spare. Those cheap extended ones aren't really that much better in performance from reports I've seen online. You can't bump up the maHs without increasing the size of the batteries just yet.

1. Awesome development and community support
2. NFC/Wallet. It's cool to pay with your phone.
3. It's beautiful and it works.
4. Contract still not up yet .
The nexus has the best form factor of any phone to date. Its kind of a shame all the manufacturers are moving towards making giant phones.

Well apparently they were all sold out so many devs (me included) were not able to get their hands on a Nexus 4.
The is a huge majority of people who have not even received their device yet.

I used to have Sensation. Good piece of hardware inherited by my wife had removable one. Working outside I used to swap batteries. Now I'm forced to use external battery what is awkward.
I know many people don't care about it, but why they make life more complicated? Besides that I love my nexus

Not as much as someone who posts a thread, thats been done to death, and should have searched and found the thread regarding batteries to post in.
I get 5-6 hours screen time on a full charge, so no, it doesn't bother me.
Ordered a phone with a non-removable battery and when it came, guess what? It had a non-removable battery. I am utterly shocked and disgusted with Google. I just don't know how I will cope with this.
Coming from RAZR with non removable battery so doesn't bother me.

I don't care. first phone without it.
If it becomes an issue for whatever reason I'll start caring.
I'm kind of irked by it as I've had to pull the battery to unfreeze a phone on many occasions.
My Nexus S hasn't been that frequently, only twice in a year or so, but our Sensation 4G seems to need it 2x a month.
Will be sad if the N4 needs it... I guess I'll just wait for the battery to die and hope the screen doesn't burn.

There's only 2 screws holding the back cover on, so i'm sure 3rd party batteries will be popping up on the interweb eventually.

Yep, holding the power button down for 10 seconds is even stated in the manual
Coming from phones that had removable battery's that I never actually removed... I'm not bothered at all!
Besides, it's not 'technically' non-removable, if such a time comes that I need to replace it, I can, without ****ing my phone up.

had 2 iPhones previously so non-removable battery is no issue for me. same with no SD card (i saw this as a luxury on my GS2).
Only thing i would like is authentic LTE and a more sensitive touch screen.

Other people explained, that's what I was talking about. On the N4 its pushing down the power button for x seconds, on the HTC One series its the same.
On the iphone its home+power for x seconds
Simulates a battery pull, which is cutting off all power to the device

Not since day one but did have gs1 the year prior to this phone's release. We tend to forget that this phone is practically identical to the galaxy s- a phone that remained technically unrivalled for about a year prior to the nexus release.

This is my 2nd android phone and first nexus device. I love it in so many reasons. Its performance and the community support have made me stick with android. Its sad that Google will no longer support it and the hardware is kinda outdated. But NS have given me the best android experience. I don't own gnex because I really love my NS.

The NS does look really nice, the Nexus One looked good too! The N4 looks so uninspiring. If that design came out 2 years ago, it would have been awesome...but going into 2013, it looks kinda bland
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
I could easily see myself buying a "Nexus S2" with the exact same form factor and just upgraded specs... like a dual-core processor and LTE!
Bought mine on release day 2 years ago today! Love this phone. Easily the most ergonomic phone I've ever held in my hand. It is just so comfortable. Still on the original battery, never changed it. No hardware issues (except for that slight green line on the left edge of the screen). A trooper of a phone that has held its ground. Bought into the Nexus program for the Google updates and I have not been disappointed. The dev community is carrying us into 4.2 and beyond. It's been a great 2 years for Android. Look how far we've come. What a ride the Nexus S has been on! GB>ICS>JB
Bought mine on the first day it came out two years ago. This phone has been a beast and omg the awesome development. Though I'm not using it now (I got a GS3 about a month ago), it carries on its glory in my brother's hands. He's loving it! It's sad to probably see development will stop after 4.2. This phone is what a true Nexus phone should be.
Happy Birthday Nexus S! ??

I've had this phone now for about 14 months and is hands down the beat phone experience I've had... Rooted within my first month of having it and was running custom ICS ROMs all the way up til my current 4.2.1 Rasbean Jelly ROM... I don't think development will continue for another two years... I DO think it will get KLP, by port from a dev of course... But the Android updates really starting to catch up to the specs of the phone and were starting to see its limits... I do believe development could easily continue for +2 years... But i just don't see devs sticking around that long...

I do too. Except for the limited battery capacity, the phone feels great. You get to do what you like with it, no oem restrictions and always the first to get software updates.

Pretty much this. I'll probably just stick with whatever the latest Nexus is.
Unfortunately I don't feel the same way. This HTC One is calling me and I must get it.

The Nexus 4 is the perfect phone for me, no doubt about it.
However, being the tech geek that I am there is no doubt in my mind I will grab the Nexus 5 about 6 months after it's released (I don't want to deal with launch-day drama and hardware issues which always seem to plague the initial Nexus releases)
I can say, however, that I will only be buying Nexus phones from now on since they have finally stepped up to the plate with decent hardware and specs. The Gnex was a massive disappointment to me, I sold it within four months of owning it.
Same for me. I had the one x for the last year but it has started giving me trouble by not recognizing the Sim card was in the slot.
I was torn between the nexus 4. HTC one and the galaxy s4.
After much deliberation I went with the nexus 4 and I'm so glad I did.
I owned the nexus one before so I am already accustomed to the nexus experience.
I honestly didn't expect the 4 to be so much better than the one x. Snappier. Better gaming performance and longer battery life.
I'm so glad I switched
