I have it .. so Excited lol .. got it at exactly 10am .. tmobile in Philadelphia .. if yall have some questions.. i can try to answer.. However, I am at work.

I pre-ordered the 32GB version from sprint and they announced yesterday that it's delayed for a week

FYI .. the sound issues seem to be fixed for the US when recording videos.. i just recorded this. Hopefully the international one can be corrected as well. Let me know if it's cool

More likely that it doesn't exist on the US version in the first place.
How bad is the stuttering on the US version? Barely noticed or enough to be annoying?

The ONLY stuttering i can find is in the words with friends app.. i believe it's the development of the app and not the phone because everything else is like butter... when the browser runs like butter.. that tells me a lot

T mobile only had the Blue one.. To be Honest, it looks very cheap and more plastic than any other samsung plastic device release.. The screen is extra beautiful which is the attraction along with the specs and OS..

How about the music audio quality and preset volume?
Does the speaker seem pretty loud?
Thanks for answering.

Sounds pretty cool.. a tiny bit louder than the galaxy s 2 and better quality but not by much.. whats cool is that you can use the equalizer when playing music to enrich the sound which in most devices isn't aloud unless you have your earphones plugged in. What stands out is the voice of S Voice and Navigation.. a little louder than previous releases. (just a tad) I think people will be happy with it overall.. However, I wish Samsung could get the codes for the droid razr speaker quality and Iphone because they're still superior in QUALITY

me & my wife got ours, in Dallas, Texas.
Now we are waiting for them to charge fully before turning them on. I thought waiting for them to arrive was irritating...

So yours was just a pre-order for a Verizon upgrade?
My upgrade is via work so I don't have the shipping details but my pre-order occurred on June 6th and I am a VA resident as well. Here's for hoping I might see something soon...

Tried to order one last night at midnight EST and the sales folks in india said to call back at 8am EST. Just got off another indian rep and she said that their system is not updated since the national launch and to call back tomorrow. I just want to buy a phone off contract...they should give me one because they're making more money off the phone from me lol.

Any sprint arrivals?

For everyone who received one already, have you tested USB OTG? I know it works on int. versions, but what about US versions?

Did T-Mobile remove the FM radio app as well? I know AT&T did. They always remove useful or extra features from overseas phone, without replacing them with useful appreciated apps.
If I have assisted you, please press Thanks button.

Anyone selling a GSM Nexus S?
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
I will be as soon as I know a release date for Nexus Prime. For tmobile that is.
...On a side note, I don't care about your speculations as to whether it is or is not coming out for tmobile. I DON'T CARE. We will find out later that is all anyone can say.
I sure hope it does, looks cool. I've read a couple of reviews on it. So best of luck.
I'd be looking for a tmobile nexus s btw.

As an owner of an NS since day 1 of BB release I highly recommend you spend your money on ANY non samsung smartphone. Nexus S being no exception. I've been hanging on as long as I can for an ICS device although now looking at the UI I'm strongly thinking about going Verizon and Bionic. I can't wait to relinquish my NS. What a POS.

Just for clarification the nexus s is a pure google experience, no touchwiz or htc sense. I'm all over this, that's why I like the ns.

Sorry for the quality, taken on a MT4G, and I'm not photographer. Last one is just a screenshot of what's on it right now. I'll be using it until I get a new phone around the 12th. I don't overclock it either, for what it's worth.

I also have the box in mint condition and the original screen cover. All the original accessories can be included, except maybe the headphones, unless you want my earwax.
Cool, looks decent. And just a tad curious, may I ask what phone you're replacing the ns with?

Beats By Dre from Rezound 39.99

Big Deal on the Beats By Dre that come with the REzound. So they will work with Android phones.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261031836807#ht_2872wt_1209
Do you think they are knock offs?
No, my guess is that HTC stopped including them and unloaded a bunch.

It says they got them from a large company that bundled them with a cell phone (rezound) . They come with a one year manufacturer warranty. I don't see how they are fake.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I hope they are the real deal... I want to hear some reviews first. When you guys get them pump them up and let us know
My estimated time of delivery is 6/18 so I'm not sure the deal will still be going when that comes around for me to review. Also I'm not big on the Beats headphones as they are just overpriced and marketed headphones but for 40 and with controls that work on Android I'm all about it.
I bought them because, 1. I know HTC was going to stop including them with phones, 2. Beats by Dre were no longer going to be made by monster...both of those says to me there is going to be a lot left over and they will be dumped for wholesale.
also the seller is a reputable one on ebay and they come with a manufacturer warranty.
If you are interested buy them, I believe the seller has a good return policy. So if they are iffy you can return them but if they are legit you won't miss out on the deal.
I wonder if these comes with extra ear tips. Anyone?

Cool, the headphone jack also doubles as a line in jack. Might come in handy.

The BB near me also has a big stack of them. The current price for the skew is $10,000! That's how they're preventing early sales the manager said... He said check back Thursday, that's when he thought they'd be for sale. No price until then...
Official pricing for U.S wifi is $499 for 16 GB and $549 for 32 GB. Also says on BB website.

Galaxy Note 2 short hands-on

Hey there,
I just thought I would share this with you people. I work for a carrier (don't even bother asking which one ) and we received our test unit today!!! It's the grey version and it looks totally awesome. The screen real-estate is just outta this world. I put it side to side with my S3 and looking at them, I became a bit pissed at my purchase as when the Note 2 was announced, I had thought that we would never carry it (ok, I've already said enough)!
I'm sorry I can' really say much but I had it in my hands for about 5 mins...! It was a 16gb model. I witnessed popup s note, popup browser (NICE), the new menu when you pull the pen out...oh yeah and this thing is FAST!
I have no idea about the release date (they wouldn't tell us), although I find it a bit strange that we are receiving a unit so soon. I've read on several sites that it would be next November...!

You must be in the united states, you said several sites said November ( that's US release month) and you said you didn't expect it so soon ( Europe is expecting it starting this Friday, going on next week).

I didn't actually have enough time with it (5mins) to notice any potential bugs (and mind you, we only received the phone today). I can ask my colleague who's in charge of the device though to see if he notices anything odd.

Reminds me of that EVO vs iPhone cartoon.
I'm looking forward to the one. I put my name on the "remind me" sign up on t-mo's site. I'm pretty pissed that they've been so quiet about this. It doesn't seem like a good marketing plan to introduce just the iPhone 5 when they could blitzkrieg advertising by showing they'll have the best 3 phones possible, GS4, One and [the unholy] iPhone 5.
If they're looking to show people they have the best phones out, they sure are doing a crappy job of it. I'm not sure which phone I want, the S4 or the One, but I'm thinking the One is the best option I've got due to the speaker locations.
I'm not excited about getting a Sense phone again, especially since Sense 5 de-standardizes all the Android functions I'm used to, but I'm sure there will be rooting and ROMs galore in no time.

Iphone sabotage! At&t site says the 16th and some stores are selling already so the iphone has to be to blame. Chumps
is it worth trying the dev version out on tmobile? Will it be possible to just flash the radio to work with tmobile's 1700? or does the official one not support 1700 either?
