Upgrading from the X - Droid X General

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?

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.

Ummm, in my fantasies. My bank account disagrees, though.

I would just love to have gingerbread on this phone lol. I'm stuck with it until 2013.
I've had my upgrade eligibility since this past June just waiting for the perfect phone to arrive. At first the Galaxy N was definitely my first choice, but with the bugs that it seems to have I don't know anymore. I may just wait till they are all ironed out.
That said, I'm probably gonna get it anyway, hopefully when Verizon is still doing the double data deal. The only other 4G phones that interest me are the Razr and maybe the Rezound, but not really a fan of either "Blur" or Sense.
Until then I'm fine using my Continuum and Fascinate.
I'm planning in getting the Nexus (upgrade available yesterday). Just wish they would go ahead and announce it... Just don't want to be stuck without upgrades again.

Only bug I ever heard of would be the volume bug which only occured in 2G. No phone should ever be used in 2G lol. Luckily they did get that fixed up, and it's looking bug free now.
I was planning on getting the Nexus, but decided to jump on the Xperia Play for free over the Black Friday weekend... Loving it so far... Wish you guys could experience lag free Vanilla Gingerbread... It's smooth as butter.

NS4G to Galaxy Nexus

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'll be the first in line.
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.

Samsung Galaxy SIII my next phone! Thoughts?

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.

What phone are you currently using?

What phones does everyone use right now?
Did your current phone influence you on getting the nexus 7?
I currently have an evo4G and evo3D (3D is my daily driver)
Not my current phone but the Nexus S did, I currently use my Galaxy Nexus the most.

My arsenal includes an iPhone 4S, HTC One X, Play Store Galaxy Nexus, and GSIII. I'm hoping to get a call from Game Stop today that my Nexus 7 is in and ready for pickup, too...LOL.
I don't use the 4S anymore...I'll be passing it down to my wife so she can upgrade from her iPhone 4. My daily drivers right now are the GNex and GSIII, as I'm test-driving the GSIII and trying to decide if I'm going to keep it or the One X (I'm leaning towards keeping the GSIII and selling the One X...I won't think about selling the GNex until the next Nexus phone is announced). I've still got 3 more weeks to play with the GSIII before I can't return it, so we'll see, but I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. I bought it at full price from Best Buy.
I do have to admit, though, the GNex with JB is my favorite.
stock nexus s. Waiting for 4.1.1 for it.

I flick between original, amoled HTC Desire (rooted and s-off) and Nexus S I9020 (stock). I prefer the screen and build quality on the former, and the storage (not relying on sdext and so forth) and ICS stock rom (updates) on the latter. I wanted the Nexus 7 no matter which phone I am using!
I have a Desire HD and am still 9 months away from an upgrade. Buying the N7 was an easy decision. Cheap, fast, portable, first tablet.
I'm not fussed about getting a new phone now - will happily wait until next summer.
I've got a rezound at the moment, but I'm upgrading to an S3 tomorrow, which is also the day my 7 gets delivered
I'm far too excited lol
Got an Xperia Play. Hoping i can play games on the n7 using it
T-mobile G2 (Desire Z for those outside the US).
HTC Titan Stable as hell and can do most of the stuff I need it to.
I'm still using my Nexus One. I figured the Nexus 7 would be a good choice because it has like, six more nexuses.
Samsung Vibrant, I still love this phone, but now playing with the 7 it is really dated.

I have a Galaxy S II at the moment. Now that I have the Nexus 7 I know for sure that my next phone will be a Nexus device.

Samsung Focus (spare), Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300 (main).
I had the Samsung Galaxy Note previously, it replaced my SII and my Notion Ink Adam Tablet. But it was too big as a phone and too small as a tablet, both great and bad at the same time IMO, YMMV.
Since hearing of the Asus MeMo 370T for $250. It's what I was considering, until it was cancelled and replaced with a lesser featured prototype, but supported by Google. It wasn't a long wait, so the SGS3 became the best phone option for me.
Galaxy Nexus, duh!
Motorola Photon and I guess it could have helped in my decision because I no longer want to wait for updates. While the Photon is a great phone I'd really like a Nexus phone as well, here is hoping that Moto/Goog is one of the OEM's chosen to make a Nexus phone this fall.
Still rocking a 4s, i just love it especially the apple tv stuff plus all the family have iPods etc etc

What phone are you coming from?

As the title says, which device are you migrating from? What's making you take the switch? Other than the price of course
I've got an OG Galaxy Note and I'm considering getting one assuming I can get about the cost of the N4 for my Note when I part ways with it.

looking forward to a bit of a refresh. it is too bad that they didn't fit in a slightly larger battery, that would have made my day!
was tempted by the razr hd maxx but when it comes down to it, id get more annoyed at the lack of updates and dev support etc
Will be coming from an Evo 4g that I've had since June 2010. Switching from Sprint to T-Mobile and will try out using voip on their pre paid plans. So potentially will save $40-$50 per month while on a faster network.

I'll be coming from the Galaxy Nexus myself. Hopefully it's worth the jump. Can't afford to drop too much on the phone; so hopefully I'll be able to manage it when I sell the GNexus. In any regard, I think I'll jump back into development when I do.
HTC Sensation 4G. I'm rooted running paranoid android on 4.1.2 but the s3 dual core gets so hot and I want a pure Google phone. Benefits: s4 pro, wireless charging, NFC, beam, pure Google, 2gb of ram.
I only have 16gb SD card and i never run out of storage and I only remove battery during boot loop but holding down power button force shuts down so I don't consider those as down falls.

Jumping back on to the Nexus bandwagon and never, ever falling off again.
Had a Gnex but took it back because I didn't want to sign a stupidly long extension to my Canadian contract. Ended up with a free S2 this summer but now since Exynos sucks dev wise, I'm switching to N4.
Can't believe something actually worked out for me and now I can get this at a great off-contract price
