have a gr8 time with your gnex
I have both sgs2 and gnex, to be honest I like sgs2 more. not fan of blue theme, too damn hard to read under direct sunlight. but if you wanna pure Google experience then Gnex is the way to go. not to mention there are many talented devs in gnex section. good luck.

Nah.
I would also go for gnex If it had external sd. The hd screen, pure google experience with open sources for everything. But the memory is just not enough for me.

Because development is a lot easier on nexus phones, they have more dev support and also all the updates are pushed by google themselves. So yeah they are better!
Who cares ?
When i was his age i most certainly did not fall in love with a phone . It must be the chemicals they put in the water .

It's funny how the only phone that competes with the SGS2 is a Samsung built AOSP phone... And there are tons of SGS2 users that go to Gnex. But no Vice-versa.

funny....i have been seeing the exact opposite. I think prices for the gnex are actually cheaper than the sgs2 in Canada. I had it for a day, i can see why it would be.
"pure google experience with open sources for everything" Sounds like a contradiction! Google are monsters!

Heh. Looks like different experiences. I've seen alot of gnex for sale on Kijiji at ridiculously low prices, so you may be right. On these forums though, I've only seen people leaving to the gnex forums as of now...
The SGS2 in Canada annoys though, 3 different phones: Galaxy S2X from Telus, i9100M from Bell/Virgin, Galaxy S2 LTE from Rogers...

For sure, man, i see that so far. Everyone contributes to each other which is awesome. i hope to be like that one day.
One quick question, since this forum's dev portal is split in 2 (GSM / CDMA) Nexus S 's, i've seen that the one for the 4g just isn't too active. Do the ones for the regular non-sprint ones work for the 4g version?

BLN for led notifications.
Just wait till ICS is released, development will pick up.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
what is this BLN and ICS you guys speak of? what i've realized about most croms i've flashed is the virtual keys light up, but even then they're not that bright, and the nexus' vibration intensity seems kind of low. but, that part might be the rubber shock resistant case i have on it.
EDIT: lol never mind, did some lurking and apparently that's what i was just talking about. but i didn't know that i needed to dl the app. i was wondering why i couldn't change the setting in android's native settings. thanks a lot guys for your responses!
Anytime fellow nexus'r

Lots of info on the forums and lots of help from the users. Do some searches and everything is there but again just wanted to say CONGRATS on the new phone.
Welcome to the forums, and welcome to the Atrix community. Make sure to read the stickies at the top of each forum so people don't get mad at you. That said, don't let angry comments get to you. Enjoy the new phone!

Yeah, for me it will need to have more RAM and be quad core. There are new phones coming out that still don't have 1gb of RAM and are hanging around that 1.2 dual core. My ATRIX is already OCed to 1.45.

This is true BUT seeing all these devices get fully working ICS is making me somewhat regret my decision. Though I am positive that once full sources are released, we should get that soon.
But no denying that hardware wise, the Atrix is a monster and just as good as anything else on the market (especially now since Darkside just got full HDMI Mirroring as well as Webtop over HDMI).

Welcome to the land of Atrix Forums!
Where we all seem to hate each other one day, and like each other the next.
Lol, seriously though, I've been on the Atrix forums since day one of the Atrix release. I've never been a part of a community that was so....... temperamental.
Concerning WiFi Tether and Titanium backup --- those are all both pretty easy to get going... just refer to Swiftks N00B guide. He really did a great job with that thing. I find myself referring going back to it every once in a while.
Once you unlock bootloader ---- the Atrix becomes a whole different beast. You'll have so much to do, it's going to be nuts.
Great deal on a great phone. Buying at this time or receiving rather you didn't have to wait for development to take off like it has grats

So true. Also welcome and congrats on a great deal! Nothing better than saving money. I've had my Atrix since the second day of the release and I don't have much to complain about.
For a long time, I have been a android user, and mostly, a Galaxy S user, but there comes a time when all that comes to a end, I have sold my Galaxy S (with Aways Vanilla rootbox rom installed lol) and got myself a lumia 800 and some cash on top.....
So I would like to thank the users and devs alike who know me.....THANK YOU ALL, big big thank you to a few people.....
AWAYS, FRANZYROY, DARIOLB, MNAZIM, KASPER_H, CYANOGENMOD who have made my i9000 breath, JUST THANK YOU ALL.....!!!! and all the names I have forgotten......
I will still be on XDA, but in the Lumia 800 forum lol

LOL? You are comparing your S2 with S4? S2 is released on 2011, now we are 2013. It is obvious that you have ton of devs for S2.
S4 is barely released and you already want developpers to release app for S4? Do you know how many time do they developpers take to program an app? It is not as easy as talking, you know?
the phone still new dude
after 1 month sure got a lot developer already
yet, s2 is 2 years old ago phone, off course got a lot developer =_=
Yeah to be fair you're right. It has been pretty much a whole week now. They get paid so much for this work anyway that they should be working weekends too.

Nothing but hear say,

Latest rumors are that Samsung is already working in version 4.3 for samsung galaxy s3, so I expect the update to come even earlier.
LOL, just hope it'll be ready before Android 5, or else samsung is never going to catch up with the latest firmware. They haven't even release android 4.2, and they're suposed to be working on Android 4.3? What a joke.
Either way, I gave up waiting for the laggy Samsung firmwares.. even Omega or ARHD start lagging after a while.
Kinda happy with SuperNexus 2. It's a lot snappier...
