Well, today I'm going to get the free Nexus S 4G, so I'll be retiring my trusty ol' (slightly beat up) hero. I just wanted to say thanks to all the amazing people and devs in the CDMA Hero section. You guys make our weak little devices cool and contemporary on a regular basis. I would've pulled my hair out by now if it weren't for you! So thank you thank you THANK YOU!
You guys are the best. Keep going strong, be humble, kind and compassionate, and it'll keep the CDMA section a very pleasant place!
God bless!

You went from a single core at 768mhz to a single core at 1ghz......
Shoulda saved ur upgrade. Theyre killing off all these phones in the next 3 months to bring in a new line of phones.

Yeah, the Nexus S has good developer support so it'll be a good phone for another year or so. It's basically to Gingerbread what the Hero is to Sense. It'll last a while at least.

Ya the only reason I got this evo shift was because my hero broke finally after a year and a half. This was free and didn't cost me an upgrade so dont care. It is 100 times faster even just on sense 2.0
My free EVO Shift thanks to bestbuy
Stock this phone will rock the hero on its best day lol and I maxed out my old hero
My free EVO Shift thanks to bestbuy
im on verizon now with the tbolt and i love it, no need for dual core anyways. the hero was a good phone back in the day.

I'm curious about this as well...
It was totally worth it!
Just to let you guys all know, the Nexus S is a GREAT phone! I have ZERO complaints! It's fast, has a good screen, perfect size, and great battery life! And MIUI Rom is AMAZING! I'm loving it. Best of all, it was FREE. Plus, my wife has an upgrade available still, and she doesn't care about phones, so I'll give her the nexus S and buy the nexus prime when it comes out (or a few weeks/months later, when the price comes down...cuz now that I have a fast phone, I don't mind waiting to save some $$). Just wanted to give you guys my 2 cents. It was totally worth it.
(Plus I signed up for the best buy Buy Back program, which means in two years, they'll give me $150 bucks for the phone...holla! I just got a new phone and MADE $150!! WIN!)
EDIT: Plus I used my insurance to trade in my beat up old hero for a refurbished one (brand new looking) which I then sold on craigslist for $120! Double win! Made $270 and got a sweet phone! Sorry if it sounds like I'm gloating...I'm not...I'm just stoked!
I had the two year Replacement insurance from best buy so when I took it in to get fix they gave me a refurbished one. I then went directly over to the mobile department and ask them for a buy back.... since my newer hero was in mint refurbished condition I would have received $20 cuz I have the box & everything that came in the box.
a beat up hero is worse $0.00
So I walked out and immediately rooted and loving the hero deck ROM ....
I'll hold off my upgrade for something later maybe near Christmas.
Keep up the awesome work developers

just got an email from our sprint corporate rep who said the sprint 7" tablet will go end-of-life sometime in november. might be old news, but thought id share what i know. expect prices to drop.
Hmmm.. doesn't impact me as I don't have a data plan on it.. but maybe I'll be able to snag one for the woman on the cheap... she's been jealous of mine for a while...

Got mine new and mint off Craigslist when I bought mine for $200 months ago, so I already got a dang deal on it. Works great, running GB and all is well.
As long as devs like oldmacnut keep doing their magic, running HComb on this bad boy is not far off.

I have other devices that are newer and faster but until another one comes out that has at least a 7inch screen and can be used as s phone, I am still going to be using mine.

Well, it has been out like a year.
and that is old for any device.
Telstra Australia got rid of it back around April... Got rid of the SGT cheap for the newer honeycomb tabs... Sold them online in a blitz for $300 each. Wanted to get one for a mate but sale was over and they've been out of stock since...
Looks like optus are out of them now too. Got mine just in time. Got it about 5 weeks ago, $0 for the tablet on a $39/month plan for 12 months with 8g data and 3 months free included. Was happy enough with that price at the time, and stoked with it now. Barely touch my laptop these days.

What would make me decided get the evo lte would be if htc would let you choose between ICS stock or ICS sense and btw you get 50$ in Google wallet with the galaxy nexus

Im sure we would be able to remove sense very soon on the evo lte.

yeah that is true. maybe ill just get the evo LTE and wait for a 100% full working pure ICS rom.
That's what I thought, too. ..but check the rezound and One X forums, the way HTC has been locking their sh1t down, and with all the proprietary HTC features, it's almost impossible to get a fully functional AOSP ROM working on the newer devices.
And to flash a ROM, you have to be tethered to a computer using fastboot commands.
I've been struggling with this myself the past week, and starting to lean toward the nexus, myself, despite the hardware of the Evo LTE is vastly superior. I prefer straight ICS for SW, though.
Good luck with your choice. I'd say, go browse the nexus forums and the One X forums to see the lay of the land.

i would love to get the nexus and i just might do it. the only things that make me want the evo is knowing that the hardware is better and the amazing camera functions of it.
This is why I didn't get the LTE evo

I ordered my galaxy nexus monday night, got free overnight shipping from sams club's website for $148.88, don't think they charge sales tax in any state, nor do they require membership.
Due to arrive sometime later today.

Which will take a long time as there's no guarantee of full root on the new HTC phones.

Yup, in my apt there is zero coverage, out on the street I get a single bar, a few blocks away its full signal + 3G and probably HSPA+. And this is in the middle of the bay area
I am in the same boat. Almost two years with the OG Evo. Flashed the heck out of it
When it comes to a new phone I might wait for a windows phone. When I saw the reviews of the lumina 900 my eyes glittered. Moreover if that phone impressed Steve Wozniak It might be something.
just my 2 cents.
so i ruled out the nexus. simply becasue its 6 months old and the EVO hardware is better.
But now i have an issue....im thinking of switching to AT&t and getting the One X. Very sexy phone.
I personally will not because it's just wayyyy to ridiculously big in my opinion lol. The new features look pretty damn sick though not gonna lie!
Multitasking on the Note 3
Scrapbook on the Note
S-Finder on the Note 3
Gamepad on the Note 3
I highly recommend watching the new multitasking, I PRAYYY that we get that, looks pretty damn cool!!
Agreed, just far too big to consider for a phone I'd be willing to carry around. Nice features, and I'm sure it's a great device. But I'm not into Phablets.
If I was due for an upgrade would for sure consider it just because of hardware/functionality. Think I would get used to the size as long as the screen looks nice. However, with the S4 and Note 8 I would not be gaining much if anything.
Not me. While I would love to own one, I don't hate money enough to pay full price for a relatively marginal upgrade three months after getting a phone I am very happy with.
My upgrade date is in December. I'll probably sell the S4 and get a Note 3 then. I think it looks amazing, expecially the multitasking features, not to mention the Snapdragon 800 and 3 gigs of ram. I don't mind the size at all.

Videos made me want it more. I must have it. Give it to me now.
I'm extremely happy with my S4 but will definitely take a look at the Note 3. It's a bit big but the features that they have shown in their promo video seems like something I could use.
I'm on that beast the day it's released. The Note 3 is more powerful than most laptops. Love everything about it and finally Samsung increased the internal storage along with everything on the phone. After market accessories will be a plenty. Thank You Samsung.

I'm with ya. I'm trying to sell my phone and accessories in preparation for the release.
I personally wont be getting it but my wifey and mom will be picking them up. The size doesn't really matter for them since they carry their phones inside their purses.
As for me, I'm gonna wait for the redesigned S5.
Gonnna wait for samsung galaxy s5.. or nokia if they ever come out on the sprint carrier

Well I have 3 lines and I get all the upgrades so my s4 will be off to my gf and I be getting the note 3 . I might have to wait til christmas to get it because the xbox one will consume much of my play money.

I'll stay with my S4 it does everything I need it too already. Multitask already have a app for that, Gamepad I use ps3 controller with the sixaxis app, etc etc...
It looks like a a pretty sweet ride, but for what I need my phone for it's just way too big.
The s4 is borderline too big to carry in the environment I work in!

I was already at two and a half years on the Epic 4G Touch, patiently awaiting an upgrade to the note 3. Well two weeks ago I got the blue light of death (hard bricked) on my old 4G Touch. So I had to go for another phone and thought I would be very happy with the s4. Well wouldn't you know it two days after I have my s4 reading on XDA of all the awesome customizations and tweak apps I can install on the phone I was very happy that is until the Note 3 specs came out. The rep that sold me the S4 extended my exchange time by 15 days until the 25th of September. He said to contact him or come in before that date and he would extend it again then when the note 3 comes out around October 1st or 2nd he will exchange me into that phone at no charge and swap all accessories I have already purchased for the s4. I really want to note 3 but it is a huge beast to carry around in a working environment and play environment also but I think I'm going to go for it.

It's a very nice device. Nice looks and feel. A Samsung rep brought one into to my work, Best buy a couple days ago. The back feels like leather and the front has kind of a wood grain or brushed look and the one he had, black was actually a dark black not like the S4.
This message brought to you in part by Sprint and the letters GS and the number 4

Seems we think alike, I ask the rep if he was going to put that in writing, he printed out a receipt with the new Exchange date, and I've been taking notes to keep them honest. I'll post an update in this thread after a successful exchange to the note 3.

I really hope this is for real... because I've been crushed thinking that the first real new QWERTY was not going to be released on VZW. I'm still rockin' the Droid 4 with a cracked screen... and can't get off the VZW family plan due to only having to pay 40$ a month
I don't care if I have to wait another few months, as long as it's coming..
One of evleak's leaks a while ago said it was coming to all four major american carriers
