Hi all! I'm thinking of selling my Nexus One, but before doing so I'm looking at what options I have open to me. Can any of you guys suggest phones, any OS really, and comment about the phone with respect to the Nexus?
I'm currently considering the HTC Desire Z/ G2, the HTC Desire HD, the Nokia N8 and the iPhone 4. Any thoughts?
Oh, and no CDMA phones please. I live in a GSM country.
Get an HD2 and flash whatever rom you want on it, unless you want a front facing camera then its down to the IPhone 4 or the nexus s...

dont get nokia n8. that is a definite downgrade. desire z seems a downgrade too (slower CPU) desire hd yes, iPhone 4, i wouldn't get that. i would wait a couple months till iPhone 5 (june) or if you can hold of, just keel your nexus, it is still arilliant phone. you can update it through loads of custom roms. you will also get the official 2.3 update. hope i helped.
I barely got my nexus one since I got it for cheap on ebay but I was reallllllly tempted of getting the nokia N8 coming from a nexus one to a desire z or a desire hd doesn't really qualify for a nexus one upgrade. My opinion is if your using the next phone for 6 months to a year get the iphone 4 or N8 if your geting another android device stick to your nexus. If your planning to keep the device for a year or two wait until the next gen iphone comes out or meego or android tegra devices.
Personally I wouldn't sell off you N1 just yet. The N1 still has a lot of life left in it, the recent releases aren't exactly huge upgrades.
If your N1 died/broke/bricked/whatever and you need a replacement then yes, a Desire HD or even a Nexus S would be a good choice if it picks your fancy.
If you are selling because you want a new toy to play with then I'd wait until the dual cores hit the market since they just around the corner.

Thanks guys, but I have come to a conlusion that I think many Nexus One owners feel. I've been looking ALL OVER at phones that have just come out, being rumoured, etc etc, but this just made me want my Nexus even more because (silly as it may sound) I can't find anything that I feel could occupy the same space in my heart as the Nexus
Now, I'm off to get myself some of those custom ROMs. Thanks a million guys!

no problem mate
Yeah you'd be better off waiting. CES is going on right now and a lot of the new phones will be out fairly soon (going by the current rate phones are being churned out).
I'm looking to move on too, but I'm happy to wait for the new pack.

I'm chiming in a bit late here as you have made up your mind and keeping your Nexus, but I will add that the Nexus One is the best phone I've ever owned. My main reason: The phone did not come loaded with bloatware and you don't have to root or flash to make it a great device. You're making the right decision.

Thanks again guys, looking at what's out the moment only makes me love my Nexus more. Even more so that I'm running Cyanogenmod 7 on it XD
The dual core phones are interesting, but none have the same "impact" the Nexus One has. And I'd be surprised if Google didn't release a "Nexus 2" with the same power, and maybe 2.4 if the rumours are to be believed.

Technically there is a sucessor, - Google Nexus S developed by Samsung. but i wouldnt condider it a major upgrade.
I completely agree that the nexus s is not much of an upgrade.. More of a face lift. Personally I have messed with my buddy's NS and it feels like my Vibrant I had (cheep and plastic) but I do have to say it looks sexy. I love my N1 and it will be around until it bites the dust.
Great choice on keeping your N1!!
I know about the Nexus S, but I think calling it the Nexus One's successor is borderline crimal.
Agreed, it looks great, but doesn't feel so great. But I guess it's a suitable platform to launch Gingerbread. After all, it's almost more about the software than the hardware.

about to buy the gsm version of this phone to be use on tmobile.
i know this phone is about 2 years old but is it worth buying it for $200 USD
how is the development here? is it slow, abandon?
i see that there is a sense 4.0 rom for it! and its pretty good with latest update from Google.
I have a galaxy s2 t989 and im kinda tired of roms that are based on stock
i like to have different UI on a phone
I guess im looking for a good phone that have a variate of roms like sense, tw, vanilla. etc

I had the GS2, then got the Nexus S 4G. No regrets, I love it. Many ROMS/kernels to choose from, not to mention 4.1 is coming to the device.
thanks guys, I'm just waiting on a answer of this guys I found on cl. thought about the Gnex but it doesnt seem to beat this device when it comes with roms and such.
The only thing holding me on buying this phone and get the Gnex is the processor a dual core vs a single core.

Really and you have the HTC EVO 3D where you referring to that phone as garbage? That phone sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Desire was better (LOL) but it is a good phone too! It is worth to buy it for 200.
its 100% worth it. i bouth the 19020a 7 months ago for 350$ and still dont think i wasted a cent. would probably pay it again if i broke this one
The Nexus S is one of the greatest mobile devices ever made. The hummingbird combo is such a strong processor for it's time, paired with a wonderful screen, sleek black look and styling, and most of all, a Wolfson DAC for top notch sound quality.
I would buy a Nexus S just as a ipod or ipod touch replacement. The fact that it's a phone too is a great bonus. The downside of course is only 16gb internal storage so some may need to be selective with what media you put on there, or get your cloud on.
Personally I'd try to get a GNex on the Google Play Store, its 150$ more and you probably won't get that (darn why did I get a year & half old phone) idea in your head lol It is still a great phone but if you've tried a 720p screen before its hard to go back to a 480p resolution, not to mention you'd be getting like an extra year of official Google support, who knows how many more official updates our Nexus S will get haha. Back on topic, yes the Nexus S is a great phone and you'd be getting amazing AOSP ROMs along with it but don't expect fully functioning sense and touchwiz ROMS, they are great but very buggy IMO.

When i bought this phone 1 year ago there were already dualcore phones but the price of nexus s and knowing that it is official google phone attracted me to it.Today nexus s has ICS and soon coming JB ,my brothers LG O2X according to harware specs much better then nexus has GB on it and it performs much slower to my 4.0.4 offical ROM.So i would recomend this phone to everyone.I love it so much :laugh:
okay so tomorrow I am getting the Samsung GS3....i know..big problem .. My mom is taking my Desire HD, and Im getting the gs3, but ever since jellybean, I haven't been able to leave my phone...lol..I can't, I LOVE THIS COMMUNITY. I love the devs here, and i love the people for putting so much time on their devices. Ima miss these awesome devs, so i have a question. With all honesty do you think I should take the gs3 tomorrow, or stick with my DHD..This community just looks so promising.

Don't get your hopes high for Samsung. They are fairly slow in updating their devices. Note and S2 got ICS after 6-7 months.

Telling you this, Samsung isn't better. I was with Galaxy S before, it was even worse: dev stops at 2.3.6 Value pack. And it was a legendary phone, consider its 15 millions sales.
HTC though, has made a huge backstep I believe. Rather they publicised not to release ICS in the first place, by denying it they portray themselves as biggest liar. No on likes a liar, that's clear.

My future phones will all be NEXUS / pure Google devices, regardless of OEM.
Id even buy another HTC, but only if its a NEXUS / pure Google device.
You must be out of your mind even considering this. If the update for the DHD doesn't come out (and most probably it won't) we may never have a fully working ics or jb rom. CM10 nightlies for the s3 are just around the corner.

My advice is, don't go for GSIII, instead pick up Galaxy Nexus to ensure you will always got the latest OS.
Are you expecting Samsung to update GSIII when the next version of Jelly Bean came out? I don't think so. Take a look at GSII, eventough the hardware is more than enough for (perhaps) next 2 years or so, Samsung probably have no plan to upgrade it to Jelly Bean.
HTC One series? No comments on this one. Enough is enough, DHD ICS fiasco is enough for me to stay away from this company's products in the future.

So in light of the following news are HTC going to bring out something special or just quietly dye by the way side?

Bear in mind the current fiasco with ICS and the Desire HD.
So are you going to jump the HTC ship?
Ya well, the one series was a miss with consumers at large ,can't imagine what would have happened if the one x for example had sd card storage and a battery access
We can only hope they die a quick but painful death.

I am already planning my jump over to Samsung rightly or wrongly, but they are talking about launching JB on the S3 and even the S2 in the very near future! And from what I have seen they seem to deliver what they say!
Well I wouldn't want them to die, afterall competition is always good, however I've decided that my DHD shall be my last HTC phone after all that has happened. I'm contemplating on waiting for the next Google phone, immediate updates and a bugless AOSP experience, what else could one ask for?
That is what you get when you mess with all the HTC Desire HD owners!!! Not releasing ICS for their most sold phone and telling their costumers lies about HTC Desire HD performance. And the same with HTC Desire.

Agreed, I cant believe they would release such a retarded phone and a clear attempt to copy the iPhone business model.
I'm due upgrade now but think ill just stick with my DHD.
They should have concentrated all efforts on savage battery life combined with expansion of mem.

It’s a shame that a company with a lot of promise has now just peed of its fan base and almost washed their hand of them.
If you look at the number of ROMs in the development thread you can see that people pretty much rooted their HTC Desire HD as soon as they got them as the hardware far out preformed the software that was loaded and any potential update (although we all knew these wouldn’t come to light! lol )

Don't forget Samsung is from South Korea, so why keep spending money on SK if you know that "everyone" in SK has a Samsung phone :silly:
I hope they won't cancel the ICS update for developers. They had the same problem with Gingerbread update for the Desire.
They never released it as an OTA update, but they released it for developers.
So let's hope they do the same with Desire HD (in the future).
About One-series. It's indeed a sad story, but I think why most people didn't bought the One-phones was because most of them were probably waiting to see the Galaxy SIII and it seems that the SIII is the number one choice now for lots of Android users.
That or the New Galaxy Nexus (fingers crossed it won’t be produced by HTC) that will ruin the Nexus name IMO

Why would HTC ruin it? I like HTC's hardware
1 months ago I planned to buy the One X along with one of my best friends and I almost sell my DHD (it even already entered the "For Sale" thread in one of Indonesia's largest community forum). But after I read so much informations from early adopter of One X about how bad is the HTC's quality control over One X hardware productions I hold my decisions to upgrade because I don't wanna spend my time dealing with HTC service center.

I am more seriously considering the rumoured Nexus 4 32GB LTE, if that phone is a flop I may pick up an HTC One later this year.
I had it and liked it a lot. The only reason I went back to my N4 was because I'm scared of how well it will get updated. Overall though I may pick it up again. Its beautiful, fast and everything about it works. I miss some of its kool features already.
Sent from my Nexus 4
Personally, after being sucked into the Nexus line (pun not initially intended, but halfway through typing, fully intended), I won't be leaving for a long time. The Nexus 4 is just such a great phone, and no manufacturer getting in the way of tweaking it. Plus, it's probably half the price of the One. If you're signing a contract, then you have to weigh the pros and cons of that.
Anyway, no, I'm not getting the One. The decision to upgrade can only be made by you. Good luck.
I actually 'downgraded' (ordered the HTC One, waited for a month for it to ship and when I saw they will not have any more stock for a long time, I cancelled the order and bought the N4). I do not regret it at all, seeing how fast it is.

The upgrading is quoted which means that I don't necessarily think it's an upgrade. But it is an upgrade in hardware cause it comes with bigger screen ,faster processor and else.
In the software I really don't care cause devs will always keep up with Google as the CM project.
Just wanted to know cause I love the idea of dual speakers.

Once you go Nexus you can't go back!!!
You have been warned!!!
unless the nexus 5 blows me away, I'll probably wait for the 6. I got bills to pay so I can't upgrade every 6 months to whatever "it" phone is on the market like some of u guys. Even though the N4 has a very good camera, I'd like to see Google step up their game and make the next iteration have one of the best cameras on the market.. Also have a 32GB option and I'm good.

The One is great, but 600 Euro??? Like an apple phone...
So I'll use my Nexus in the next months.
