Since nexus S is not a very known phone I am still always asked by people what phone is this, I actually like this thing.
Anyways it's kinda interesting to answer that. I used to say it's a google nexus S, then I used to say that it's a samsung google nexus S and now I simply say samsung nexus S. People are like oh it's a galaxy? I am like well you can say that.
Samsung is the cool **** these days.
I say it's a nexus

yeah...nexus is the king, no matter what. I throw nexus around like it makes me look cool lol
I just say Nexus S. I never say the phone's brand name, just the model number. It's a habit.
People still ask me what kind of phone I have. I simply tell them its the Google Nexus S and its one of android's flagship devices. Then I proceed to explain to them what that means lol

Android. If they ask what computer? Linux. Simple as that.

I usually say nexus s 4g, I've only found a handful of ppl that have even heard of it... most ppl, including the morons at our local Sprint store, think I mean a galaxy nexus...

If they have to ask what phone it is I just say it's a Samsung. Anybody who would know what a nexus is would recognize it on sight.

The conversation usually goes like this:
Friend: What's your phone?
Me: Oh it's a nexus!
Friend: Ah...a Samsung?
Me: Well, yeah...but it's a pure Google/Android device...
Friend: So....it's a galaxy?
Me: Oh no! It's pure Google. Samsung modifies their version of Android.
Friend: Oh OK....(changes topic at this point since he actually has no idea what the hell I'm blabbering about and/or he uses an iPhone anyway).
I say "nexus s" and they say "oh" and change the topic lol

People who care know that Nexus is Google's branding, people who don't won't care if it's a Samsung or a Google or anything. I usually say I have a Nexus S (adding Sprint if they asked) if they then give me a blank stare I say "Samsung and Google partnered to make a pure Android phone."

This is pretty much on par with almost every phone conversation I've ever had. Now these are mostly avoided by coworkers and family because they don't want to hear me blabber on about "pure Google" and ROMs.

I've given up saying Nexus pretty much, at least with the people I go to school with. I tell them it's an Android, and if they want to know more then I tell them it's a Nexus S.
# of times people have cared: 0
so i sent my tablet in 3 consecutive times in the last month to fix a screen lift, which turned into more screen lift, then broken touchscreen, it is in for the third time right now and my tablet has devalued quite a lot(since the new 32gb variant came out)
does asus offer any kind of compensation for this? even if its like a tiny extended warranty(i mean seriously, when does a normal RMA last for a whole month and 3 consecutive times..)
does anyone have any experience with this? should i be asking them for a refund now(since theyve had my tablet in for 2 weeks since it got into their hands this time, it's just been sitting there waiting for new parts)
Haha no I highly doubt you will get any compensation.

im pretty determined, already made a post on their facebook asking whether or not they offer this sort of thing... will update when they respond(if at all)
since it isnt exactly my fault that their repair center was so incompetent that i have to send the same thing back 3 times in a row to get it fixed(and im not even sure if it'll get fixed when it gets back to me)
Ask for a refund...or tell them to give you a free upgrade. Can't hurt to try. 3 returns for same problem is ridiculous.

posted a little something for them on their facebook, hopefully ill get a reply on monday $
and yes..it was very annoying especially because their reps hangs up on me alot...on top of that i have to ask for a label and wait several days(if not an entire week) for shipping label(only after the first rma)...
its in for the third rma right now and im hoping they will fix it this time-.-(2 weeks since when it got in, theyre waiting for parts apparently)
These companies deal with thousands of RMAs every year. No offense but one person crying about it isn't going to get you any money.

What makes you think that? That's why they have customer service...much bigger companies with more products listen to their customers. If everyone thought. Like you these companies would.**** all over consumers. They are wrong and they should do something for him.

Not saying he will but its worth a shot. I've received things from companies when they screwed up. I had a heated seat short out in my BMW. Had to wait 3 weeks for a seat from Germany. Car was driveable but I coukdnt adjust my seat. Not a big deal at all. They paid my lease for the month. I have a few other stories like that and know plenty of people that have been treated fairly. Ever heard the saying "the squeaky wheel gets oiled"
Doing something would also include giving a refund. I'm not saying just pay him money. Return, free upgrade to 32gb, even a free case.

big companies like this one cares a lot about their public image..imagine seeing people complaining about 1 month rmas on their facebook page, sales will definitely drop

if you read it online than most likely it's true...

It's true
The nexus device is supposed to be only 1 device supported by Google. Not create a whole line of nexus products to get rich off of, way to screw over the people who waited desperately for this phone and/or stuck in shipping limbo

This will be the single most outrageous thing I've ever read about a smart phone. The phone sells for two hours in total over like 4 months and they kill it for a new phone. They should have just haulted the N4 altogether.

well... nothing's really happened for a month outside of the US...
I highly doubt that is true since so many people are still waiting to buy it why would you stop selling it? And T-Mobile is said to start carrying it at every location.

Look everyone. This person talks common sense, and he does it in a thread without any.
XDA may catch fire.
They are assuming a lot in that article...i dont doubt that LG may be working on the next nexus but the writer takes the leap from a quote that says LG is going to release it's next gen phone at WMC to it being the next nexus. I bet LG is going to be releasing some new Optimus phone but not the N4 successor. Even the writer states that the halt in production are just rumors. LG barely launched the nexus 4 as is, maybe they are working on a 5+ inch Nexus. Here's to hoping there's going to be a nexus 5, 6, 8, and 9 to complete the nexus line.
Well duh obviously LG is gonna show off some prototypes and tech at wmc. I'd be more worried if they didn't announce anything. Besides all the stuff from wmc well be lucky to see in stores by Q4.

Nahh... Not gonna happen. LG just can't keep up that's all..
I was more interested in the get rich quick penny stock article. Or maybe the other sensationalistic crap on that site. Too bad I can't get back the two minutes I wasted there...shame shame...
Sent from my Nexus 7
Uhm, this is essentially the content of the article: "rumours have it that the company seized the production of the smartphone to focus on the development of its future offerings", the rest is just a speculation.
If "rumours have it" == "it's true" then yeah, we will see the new nexus phone next month, sure.
Lol. Just lol.

BS, I don't work for LG and the only thing I can confirm to be true is that, I love my nexus 4 more than any of my previous android phones (Hero, Desire HD, Sensation, Evo 3D, One X)......
LG called me directly,saying that Nexus 4 production is stopped cause all the people working at Lg's production lines is currently at the Bahamas,on the beach...

Hey guys ive just discovered nexus 4 and i think its an amazing device .. But im worried about the low price ... Is something wrong or something? :S
Please can someone who has a nexus 4 tell me everything and say how awesome this device is
Thanks
Price is low because you are buying the phone straight from Google and they are interested in you using their software rather than making money off the device like other companies. It's an amazing device on par with other flagship's.

To me, the ONLY negative is the lack of SD card slot. So you are only limited to 16gb of storage, and that's not the entire amount available to you. And coming from a device with 64gb storage it was a hard pill to swallow lol. I figured I needed a "diet" of apps and data anyways. :laugh:
I absolutely love the phone and amount of love the devs have had developing for it thus far. I also still have my old Nexus one in storage .

If you want a lot of storage on hand and not in the cloud this phone is not for you. You can use thumb drives but unlike other devices you will need a power source and a y-OTG cable. As stated before the low price is simply to get you to use Google software and in my opinion the limited storage is a not so subtle push to get you to use Drive. This is my first phone with an embedded battery and it's surpassed my expectations. I get over 24 hours with minimal usage and 8 hours with what for me is heavy usage, this includes streaming music for 2 hours for my commute and my data is always on. Like the previous poster said, this is a great device. To optimize battery life, root and buy SetCPU.

Like the past repliers, low price is there because google is focused on the software, rather than making a lot of money off of their phones. It's a really great device, and I plan on using for a very long time (unless I get a N5 when it comes out, of course.) It's well worth the cost if you can get one. Even the it isn't the best phone out right now specs wise, it's still one of the best overall. It may not have the best amount of memory, but I easily overlook that with dropbox and box.

I was afraid about the low price as well but Google doesnt even want to make money on Nexus. They just want you to use their software and develop maybe!
So, just open your wallet and purchase one Nexus or two maybe! Then unlock it and flash custom ROMs and kernels!

That poll result is extremely expected since I've only seen such hype preceding a phone when Apple was about to release the original Iphone. Apple was in a much better position though as nothing comparable existed at that time ....
Lets just say everyone was wayyyyyy too optimistic about the current speed of progress
Ppl were too gullable regarding the pre release leaks.. If there had been no leaks, I'm sure more ppl would've been satisfied and at worst indifferent towards the new s5

Were discussing the results of a poll in which the majority didn't like it, as far as I can see it was roughly 80/20 split, in the UK this would constitute a majority.

And I said that you can't base anything on these polls. You got those who genuinely don't like the S5, you have fanboys (HTC, Sony), you have trolls ect... If you wanna base anything on something concrete wait till you see how many units the device sell. These polls are meaningless.
