Yeah! Although I'll make a backup now on the Nexus S 4g so I wont have to Redl all my roms.

Shouldn't they be on your computer anyways
When I got my second galaxy tab I just moved the files that took me 4 hours to download (when I did download them) (f***you optimum) and my app backup from my backup root and I was good

Well that sucks. I've only had my contract for less than a year. Got my epic at release. I wanna jump ship to a phone with a larger dev community. Or at least a phone that has a functioning CM -__-

yea im waiting on the nexus prime .. should be worth the wait

Eh, even if I could renew, I don't think I'd leave my epic. I love the size, love the keyboard, love everything about it. I think I'd pass on the Nexus.

I'm passing on all phones till next year. I'm more than happy with my epic. When they have the next great leap in features is when ill get a new phone unless I break the screen again then maybe sooner

Early 2012 is said to have Quad-Core phones, Quad-Core tablets in Fall 2011.
Definitely waiting for some quad-core action.

if it was 50 bucks no upgrade or service contract id buy it..
but im waiting for the next nexus or the quad core phones..

Because SamSprint will deliver timely updates for the S2? After the Moment and the Epic, I think I'm going to bet on a Nexus next time. I'd rather have timely updates than better hardware specs. The Nexus S 4G specs are more than fine for what I use my phone for and would certainly get me through two more years.

im the same way.. im tired of having to be at the will of carrier and phone makers for my updates. im defiantly getting a nexus device as my next device. i was going to hold out for the nexus prime. but seeing as quad core is at early 2012 , i might just hold off or get the prime and sell it for the quad core device.

I just got a Nexus for my dad. Yay!

I got my nexus s from sprint at $100. Now i contacted sprint today and they credited me the difference.

I might be ready for some Nexus Prime !

I'm wondering I got the nexus s 4g 4 days ago at best buy & payed them 30$ for there buy back program where I can bring my phone back in 6 months & they would give 50% retail of what it cost so it would be 350$ then I can just pay the difference remaining & can get the Prime!!

You would be better off selling your nexus on ebay or craigslist and then buying the prime.

Count me in. I've had an upgrade since April and have been holding for the GSII, but when I heard about the next Nexus, I decided to hold off until details are confirmed. If it's coming to Sprint, and if so, when.

Nexus S on Ebay used are going for around 200. If he can get 350 back for it the Best Buy buyback thing would definitely be better. Then hit Ebay to get a prime.

a bit strange that they'd bring this out at pretty much the same time the iPhone 5 hits stores, no? perhaps they know something about the iPhone not coming out until later than is anticipated and are hoping to get the jump on it.

I thought the Prime was going to be Verizon exclusive for at least a month or two. Was that just a rumor?

I hope they don't do that, because they'll loose lots of money for doing that but more likely its gonna take some time for sprint to get it, just like nexus s and then few months later NS4G

A sprint Rep told me they are getting the new Nexus but it would be a little after Verizon gets there's it looks as all 4 carriers are getting it which would make sense if they want to go toe 2 toe with crapple I mean apple lol
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

This is my new phone. I don't trust the rumors, but the general sense is that Verizon exclusivity is not going to last too long - maybe a few months. Also, Verizon is offering it as a Droid Prime, so it is likely not to be a pure Google experience phone. I was thinking of jumping ship to VZW due to piss poor Sprint coverage if it was not for the 2GB data cap (generally use slightly more than that a month).

good buy?

about to buy this phone. Mint condition, locked from AT&T i suppose. Seller want $250 but i can negotiate down to $200. Is it a good idea? It just a phone + charger + hdmi cable and case.
Thanks for the help. Im using the Nexus One right now.

I recommend buying the phone if you can get an upgrade at a lower price at the phone store. But, spending $250 dollars on a phone when the galaxy nexus is around the corner is not a smart idea.
I will be getting the galaxy nexus when it comes out.
Sent from my Atrix XDA Premium App

I think this is a good buy. The Atrix is in a peculiar situation right now. It is not the best phone on the market and with Galaxy Nexus coming out, it'll be inferior and it may not get stock Ice Cream Sandwich. However, it is easily one of the best phones out, and it's specs are comparable with that of Galaxy SII. It also has a fingerprint scanner (which is so amazingly convenient and works wonders) and the webtop hack is pretty useful.
Most importantly, it is cheap and future proof. You cannot buy ANYTHING comparable for under 400 dollars. With its specs you'll be able to use it and be happy with it easily for 1-2 years. With the great developer support, hopefully we'll be able to flash ICS based rom. This is a great phone to have and its under-appreciated by the general market.
Buy it. Root it. Unlock it. Flash Aura or CM7 with Faux kernel and you won't be disappointed. Then just go ahead and upgrade in 1-2 years when your cellular contract is up for extension.

Agree with lilhyper.
I went through a torrent of phones before at&t decided to early upgrade me, and it hasn't disappointed me.
While technically inferior, consider the fact that technology becomes inferior literally overnight. What matters is if it can handle your demands. It handles mine, and I brutalize hardware.
200 is a steal unless you have an upgrade soon, then wait for that and get a newer phone.

Hi all,need suggestion about to buy this phone.
But compare to O2x,which one is the best? Though i like to play games,and some say that atrix doesn't support more than two point of multitouch and has poor frame rate.
Please advise.
Thanks

i can upgrade with AT&T with a free HTC Inspire. Is that better or worst compare to this Atrix 4G?

I bought mine for $180 from some chick who had just gotten the 4s

For starters, do your own research.
Atrix is a better phone imho because it's a dual core phone with more memory, a front facing camera, higher screen resolution, and bigger battery.
Inspire is bigger with 4.3" screen instead of the Atrix's 4". However, it comes in at a lower resolution, is a single core phone, and the battery life is worse.

We had 2 Atrix's and the wife recently moved to the Inspire.
I had used it previously.
She wants to swap back.
The Inspire is a good solid phone. If you like a larger screen it was a great choice. The Atrix 2 would be an alternative now.
Personally I am sticking with the Atrix, does everything I need. For me 4 inch screens are about the sweet spot with phones . I have a tablet for browsing and a laptop for work so prefer this form factor.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

thanks guys for the help. The Atrix is $30 upgrade from AT&T so i think i'll get that.

$200... heck $300 is still a great buy for this phone!...

Try another store. You should not have to change data plans they do not expire as long as you are paying for them.
As said just swapped the wife's phone without having to.

Look in the market place here. There are a few for sale or trade. $300 is too steep for a good used one, you should be able to get one closer to $200 easily.
I just traded mine our I would have given you a good deal on it.
Best of luck to you.

The Atrix definitely has potential. Size is perfect. I came from the HTC Aria and before that a Nexus One. Got the Atrix on an upgrade for $50. Solid purchase.

The Aria is an awesome little phone when OC'd running CM7. Not sure what to do with it now that I have the Atrix. As for the Nexus One, its kinda broken. Runs but will eventually reboot with any moderate usage.

[Q] Need to Replace Epic... With What?

My wife and I both have Epics, but she's dropped hers enough times now that the screen is totally cracked and it will need to be replaced... Rather than pay to repair it, I'd rather replace it... But with what? What's the best thing since sliced cheese that's available (or will be available shortly) for Sprint? Looking at the current stock of available Sprint phones, I might be inclined to go with the Galaxy S II / Epic 4G Touch if it weren't for the fact that I'm so unhappy with Samsung's dismal support for the Epic...
So what does everyone recommend? Is there something coming out just over the horizon that we should hold out for?

If you need something now, nothing.
But if you can wait a bit, the galaxy nexus should be coming to sprint.
The gs2 has better specs (sans screen) but the nexus is guaranteed to get updates unlike our epics

If it still works I would wait for the LTE handsets in 2012. The 800SMR coverage will be a big plus too.

That spectrum won't be used for lte until identified is switched off. That's getting into 2013.

I agree, I switched over to Nexus S 4G since I'm not currently eligible for upgrade through Sprint. But if I was, that new Nexus would be the way to go!!

you could always buy a nexus s 4g off ebay for like 200 bucks. then sell it on ebay in a few months when the galaxy nexus comes out for maybe 100 bucks. i hear the photon is pretty good.

That's more than what I bought my GSM version for when it first released.

It's the same thing on the Sprint site. If you go to the phone section, the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S 4G are both the same price. Not 699 but they are the same prices.

Its ridiculous how much they want to charge for "retail" prices. You can find close to brand new nexus s's all over the internet for around $200. No way I'd pay $700 dollars for this phone right now.
Btw, diggin the minecraft icon in your taskbar
