I have used Vibrant and IMHO its a piece of crap compared to Nexus but i was using stock rom .Nexus S is much better IMHO.There are so many roms that you can flash..Vibrant was really slow and touchwhiz sucked.

Vibrant better than Nexus...you are probaly the 1st to say that...lolz

This phone is awesome

I've had so many phones, just sold my HTC Raider LTE and bought this thing not knowing what it was like. The only thing I miss is HD video recording and the camera. Otherwise for a phone that isn't dual core, this puppy is fantastic. I unlocked the boot loader and rooted last night and things just got even better. I don't regret my decision 4 days in.

Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2

I love this phone too!
I've had this phone for 4 months now and let me just say that because of the devs here, my nexus s has been such an amazing device. It's pretty cool what this "old" phone can do with all the different ROM and kernel combinations available. I've gotten so much outta this guy it just blew my mind.
I've recently switched to a galaxy nexus but I just really wanted to say thanks and this seemed like an appropriate place to do it.

Thanks to awesome devs here can our lovely Nexus S easily beat lots of new smartphones with bazillion cores and tons of RAM.

Yes me too am still loving my NS that I bought at Xmas.
I'm not really interested in any other phone for the foreseeable future. I was looking at the Galaxy Nexus and thinking of purchasing one this Xmas if they drop really low, but I find the size of the NS absolutely perfect.
At the moment I'm very happy. Best phone I've ever bought.

This.... sorry but a 4.5 inch phone............ might as well be using my Galaxy tab 10.1 as a phone.... of course i'm exaggerating but i didn't overall like the experience with my previous phone, HTC Evo which was a 4.3" phone so, I really can't imagine a 4.5" phone. To me the NS has the perfect form factors and i won't be going above a 4' inch phone.
im thinking about it knowing the nexus prime/3 coming soon think ima wait a bit i prefer stock android over touchwiz but who knows i might wake up tomorrow and decide to buy it

I'm selling my epic now cause the old lady needed a captivate on att so now I got epic captivate and nexus and a empty bank but this is going to be the hardest sale for me if it goes. For a mp3 player and hd camera/camcorder it will cost more to replace thoseand in those areas the nexus can't compare.

The taste of Miui I just got on this phone may have won me back over. I think that anything is possible if someone has the will to do it. I flashed a bunch of builds that hung at the Sammy screen and seemingly overnight things started happening fast. With my luck, Gingerbread would get released the day after I didn't have this phone anymore. I think I was just going through withdrawls from not flashing for a couple of days. Also, after seeing what the ET4G forum is like, I am happy to be a part of this one...I'm not going anywhere any time soon...and thanks
Sent from my OG Epic running Miui
Yep, as much as I wanted the ET4G, I'm glad I didn't go to the sperm bank now
Its just to many things better coming down the pipe, and the Epic is still Epic by all accounts, and it has a keyboard, so, I'm happy. And this place is much better then that place lol.
I ain't going to lie I like the epic 4g forum guys here help when you need it & all the funny post people put up that made me laugh my balls off lol it only took me 1 day to root & flash I like my nexus its sexy! But the epic to me has better video & picture quality & more memory there's give & take with both phones I got a brand new nexus for free at best buy & payed 30$ for some buy back program in 6 months I can bring it back & they will give me 50% of what it cost retail 350$!!! & then I could use that towards the nexus prime the E4GT or whatever ever phone I like

New to the Nexus S 4g! Coming from the Epic 4g!

I cracked my phone screen today on my epic 4g and the sprint rep told me it had to be a 100$ insurance claim to get a new one but offered me a new phone/free upgrade instead so I picked up the Nexus S 4g!
Was wondering what the most stable rom with best battery life for this phone is.
Interested in BLN mod for sure, but besides that, just stable(minimal bugs) and one that drains the least amount of juice.
Thanks!
Welcome old fellow epic user I would recommend crossbone if u want ics it doesn't have bln but u can flash a kernel that supports it like galados.

Congrats for getting rid of that soul crushing phone.. I had the Epic 4G for close to a year and hated most of my time with it.. Wasn't as soul crushing as the Samsung Moment I had before it but it sucked pretty good on its own right. I can only best describe it as a constant beta test.. You'll love the Nexus S and like me should convince you to never buy any phone again that isn't a Nexus...

I can tell you that the AOSP rom of ICS based on the update is more stable and fixed all the problems and bugs I had from my stable stock GB rom. Go ICS. You'll never look back.
The epic 4g is still a good phone I've had both I gave it to my mom I've had the nexus s4g for 3 months & I like it better I feel like for now on its got to be a nexus or nothing I'm waiting on sprint to get the galaxy nexus if they ever do get it the only thing I would take from the epic 4g & add it to the nexus to make it better is the camera & 720p video but nothing else

i do... abit for the Z
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
