Sold my Nexus S and already miss it...

Hi Guys,
Today I sold my Nexus S to my friend who develops an amazing new app.
They needed an ICS device that they can afford. After testing their app myself for a while, they convinced me to sell them the phone :crying:.
I don't know which new device I would buy (Gnex, S3 or One X), but I will definitely miss this amazing community of developers and people who are willing to help anytime.
Thanks and see you at your next phone forum...
I say buy a okish phone and wait for new phones to come out. They will me more up to date and can compete with next iphone

You don't think the one x or gs3 can compete?

I've used both, apply would have to basically fit a desktop pc into a phone to make the hox and gs3 irrelevant

They compete, but their the first phones of the "new generation" . Just wait till newer models come out in like the next couple months.

MIUI for Nexus 4

No MIUI for Nexus 4?
Trying to convince my wife to trade her iPhone 3 to a Nexus 4 and thought the similar style may help but nothing to show for it..? Any other recommendations in MiUI absence?

should do
Spring festival holidays last till 17th for some...
So at least until the end of this week if anything happens
MIUI on N4 would be very nice, but I think it will take long time. Maybe with Android 5.

Of course we'll get it. This is a newer Nexus device. That is one of the biggest Nexus device selling points.

i'm afraid that one gig of ram will no longer be capable of handling further android versions.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
I assume you are implying that the newer android versions need more ram. If so does that mean that 5.0 will run slower on the current nexus 7?
Where can I read what is expected in the next android version?
Thanks

It's Android, it runs on everything. Some things maybe slower than others, but it runs, hence the Nexus One (512MB ram, can run 4.2)
I'm just trying to say that it might be sluggish.

I doubt it. They would discontinue the updates for the N7 before they would purposely release a new update that makes the device seem slow.

We don't have any information, only hopes and speculation.

Google is very good about rolling out updates to their nexus line. There is no doubt in my mind that we will get it. Just a matter of time.
