Hey everyone,
I'm considering to buy a new Phone. My current phone is the HTC Desire, which I use for about 2.5 years now.
Would your recommend buying a Nexus 4 now or is it worth waiting for the X-Phone or the next Nexus device? Some sources claim, that we will see those devices around June, after Google's developer conference. I definitely want a pure Google device.
The thing that is holding me back is that it we are about to allot new gen devices in the near future, with the new iteration of specs. (1080p display, Snapdragon 600 and 800...) So it seems to be a good idea to wait another 3 months or so...
What do you think?
Newer technology is always around the corner, you will wait forever if you always wait for the Next Big Thing. How easy will it be to get one of these as-yet-unreleased phones, and how much will they cost?
The N4 is available right now, at a bargain price, and will be a big step up from your Desire ...

After Upgrading from a HTC Desire Z, my only regret is that i didn't buy it sooner.
I got mine from T-Mobile free after 50 dollar Mir.

I think that all of those devices will be non nexus, bloated, at the mercy of the Manufacturer devices. And for what? More processing power to view your email? The screens may be nice tho. I don't see why you'd need 1080p on a less then 5in screen tho...
After owning this phone three weeks. I can't see going back to a carrier bloated samsung, HTC, or moto phone.
Look at the galaxy nexus, last year's hardware and it's still one of the smoothest and fastest phones because of pure android. The nexus 4 will hold its value too, it's only 349, don't buy the 8gb. You can always sell on ebay if you don't like it and come out even right now and I have a feeling n4 will keep selling on ebay for close to what you pay from Google. The only issues I have with the n4 is the camera is just not as good in poor lighting as my s3 was, other than that it's great. It's the best deal in Tech. Compared to the desire it's going to be ridiculous.

The right time is now OP. As others have said there is ALWAYS a newer phone with more impressive specs around the corner. With that mindset you will be waiting forever. I realize you dont want to buy the nexus 4 now and a few weeks later the next nexus device is announced. eh "such is life" OP
I'm pretty happy with mine. I'm coming from a Bionic.
I still probably will consider the x phone but this is certainly a solid enough device that I won't feel the need to jump ship the day it is released.

I just got mine on Tuesday (ordered Saturday) to replace my Galaxy Nexus - best decision I've made as the higher DPI alone makes it better IMO
OK, 1080p screens are nice and that but I don't need it as I don't watch films/play games on my phone
Sv: Right time to buy a Nexus 4 or wait?
It's the right time, upgraded from a nexus one. So i recommend nexus 4. A real catch in my eyes. ^^,

Hey guys... I'm more of a lurker than a poster, but I am still excited to get my hands on an HTC One! Take it for what it's worth but I tweeted to Jason Mackenzie about when AT&T would be getting the black version, and this is what he said:
"@holz75 Won't have date for a couple weeks. Focus of launch will be silver. black to come a bit later."
I believe at&t should be blamed here not HTC. At&t done the same thing with the note2. They launched the gray and 2 weeks later the start to sell the white ones.

Lucky. I bet the black one doesn't see the US for at least a month. I couldn't resist ordering one so I go the Unlocked Edition. I will probably buy the Black one later and resell it but I REALLY wanted this phone
I feel they have difficulties manufacturing the black ones. Even the iPhone 5 black one had lots of easy scuffing problems. May be they are seeing that the black ones scuff easily and trying to fix it?

Well, according to the press release in this article, will we NEVER see a black 64gb model?
HTC launches 'HTC One Live Experience Tour' in the U.S. | Android Central
"AT&T: Available on April 19th in silver and black with 32GB of memory for $199.99, and in silver with 64 GB of memory for $299.99 with a two-year commitment."

I would think if it's paint then it would be more evident WHEN it scratches, whereas the grey would be more subtle. Either way, I can't wait and will be fine with the grey. It looks really slick.
Pretty sure the black version is fairly scratch resistant given this video:

I would go with the brown device...if I had not already purchased the original white. I prefer the darker colors for some reason, but you can't always get them when you want them.
I was waiting for this and picked it up yesterday at bestbuy. Looks good. I am now officially addicted to tablets.

I like some cream colored ones. hahaha. White is lovely :victory:
I just got a black brown one from Bestbuy a half hour ago, I like it way more than the white one. It has a more regal look to it. I have one question. When trying to get the $25 google play credit non of the model codes that are on the site match mine. Does anyone know how to submit it? Thanks in advance!
I talked with a Samsung rep last Friday because I was having the same trouble. He first tried to get me to register using one of the three on their site for the white one. That didn't work. He then told me to wait a couple of days. He was going to talk to someone and get the model numbers for the brown / black loaded on the site so we could register them. I just looked and they are still not listed. Will check tomorrow and if not on their will get back in touch with Samsung.

I've finally broke down and got one. I figured that since no one seems to be interested in making a 9" tablet other than ebook peeps I'd better get used to the 8". I'll still hold on to my nook hd+ though.
I've gotta stop buying phones and tablets. now I've got a 5, 5.5, 8, 9, and 2 11s. maybe I should get rid of one 11 and buy back my 10? and other than the nook they're all sammy!
And you use all of them?

i hoping the 8 replaces the 9, but i do use all the others. the one i use the mist is the 500t win 8 tab bc of the battery life. the 700t only gets 5.5 to 6 hrs where the 500t gets 12.5hrs. the 5 is my verizon s4. i still habe unlimited data so im keeping it. the 5.5 is my gnote 2 with sprint. only reason for keepung sprunt is that i have the old sero plan - $55 for 500min, unlimuted text and data plus free airave.
i had the galaxy note 10.1 but sold it and switched to win tabs for the larger screen. if the new gnote is gonna be 12in, i may switch back. or i may consider selling bith wintabs and get the ativ q. it's what i should do. 9hrs battery, 13 in screen, and both win and android... everything i need in a larger format tablet.
btw, the onscreen kb on the wintabs suck! toych interface is bad too, so i hate cirrecting typos. if it wasnt for the spen and i wouldnt have bought the ativs.
i check this item on Amazon, is this item wi fi only? because white ones N5100 with 3G Wi fi is $485
Will there ever be a black version? I don't like the white, and dislike the brown even more. According to the article below there might be a black one in the works, question is when.
http://www.androidcentral.com/leaked-image-shows-charcoal-black-version-samsung-galaxy-note-80
Just came home from Best Buy with it. The front is a barely noticeable brown and the bezel around the camera is brown-beige. Also, the body of the S Pen is brown.
Overall, it's a great looking device and I'm glad to have chosen this over white. I would recommend this colour over the white model.
got mine a few hours ago and installed civ's rom. so far i'm not finding that 8 inches is as bad as i thought it would be. far better than 7 and not as great as 9, but still pretty darn good... so far .
I just bought mine too, its waiting for me until I finish my class. Going to keep it stock

Got me a brown one too. Not a fan of white, or lighter colors in general, so the brown is fantastic!
Finally!!! Ive been wanting the note 8 but the deal breaker was the white model. White electronics always turn slight yellow after a while due to oxidation, and there is nothing u can do to get it white again. Got my brown black model today and loving it.
So look like pre-orders in the UK are going ahead on Friday. I went to the Samsung experience store in London today to take a look and choose a colour. However they didn't have the two colours I am trying to decide between: Gold or Green.
Has anyone had hands on with either of these? I cant quite decide if I like the green, I do like a phone a little different, so it probably will be my choice.
Is it possible to do a poll on here of the colours?
I wonder if all colors will be available right away at launch.
Samsung is known for releasing different colors of phones over time.
I think I'm going for Platinum Gold, depending on how noticeable fingerprints look. It looks very professional and sleek. I know the Pearl White one conceals fingerprints the most but I'm bored of white already.
The Emerald Green also looks extremely sexy. I really want to see them all before I choose one.
I will be going for the gold variant if it is available at AT&T
Green of course.
I pre-ordered black Edge
green if it will ever land in bahrain or saudi lol.
Pre orderd the 128 GB Black edition.
Looking forward to it.

I pre-ordered a black one, but now having seconds thoughts about a gold one. I am afraid to change my order, as I am unsure whether Samsung will have enough phones to send out when it becomes available.
Im going to get the green one with 128gb. It is for me by far the best looking edge version

Looks like T-Mobile will only be getting the Black and White models in to start then Gold later on.
If you read the comments on their youtube video they say that

I will be holding out for the gold. Black and white are too normal need a nice color for a phone like this.

If thats the case thats not too bad. I can wait a couple of more weeks for the Gold.
Emerald Green
I initially went with white... Only becasue I always have black phones and wanted a change.. then I saw pics of the green one... Oh Yeah.... that looks pretty sleek to me.. So I went ahead and swapped my order..
128gb Emerald Green....
saw the black one in a store the other day and placed a preorder straight away! It's not just black it has a blue/green pearlescent sheen that looks stunning. the white has a similar effect but nowhere near as nice and I expect the green one will be similar.
The black one is definitely the best looking imo. once you see this phone in the flesh you realise that the s6 edge is a real game changer. probably the best looking phone ever made and it's as slim as phones are ever going to need to get. wish I could go into cryogenic stasis and wake up on the 10th of april!

just as i predicted, pretty pathetic of samsung as usual. over market, never deliver. my guess is many carriers wont see nothing at all except W/B colors. lots of disappointment when people cant buy the color they want.
I can only seem to find the Titan Gray color in photos and videos. Even if the silver is shown, it isn't shown in detail, so I can't get a good look at it.
So now I'm curious:
What color seems to be the most desired from XDA users? (What color will you be getting?)
I used to always get black phones, but if there's an unusual color, like red, purple, or the Note7's Coral Blue which I have), then I'll get that. I never get gold. I don't know why, but I don't like gold.

I ordered a grey one. I had a white phone the last few years so I wanted something else. Too bad they didn't have gold though. I was really thinking to go with that color if they offered it.
Silver
Probably silver, really like my aluminum looking Nexus6 P!
Going titan, closes thing to black
Wow this thread is so racist, don't you know the phone can identify as whatever color it feels it is? After all, it's ((((current year))))
I'm going with whatever color my carrier has available for pre-order Monday.
Most of us buying from a carrier probably won't have a color choice.
I guess I'll be getting what t-mobile is carrying...

Yeah,that's how it was w/T-Mobile's HTC 10 (& previous iterations as well,I believe).
As for LG,we should know something as soon as pre-orders start.
FWIW,the G5 has two color choices,but,at least in my area,on launch,only one color was available/in-stock.
This is the only reason I may pre-order,& AFAICT,there's no way to find out what choices the stores are going to have on-hand on 10/28.
Whatever T-Mobile will have Monday to pre-order.

silver all day baby. the contrast it has with the dark screen looks like sex
Silver. From what I can tell in videos it's actually more metallic looking than the get g5. The titan colored v20 also looks darker than the titan g5. I'm really looking forward to seeing them in person hopefully tomorrow.

just ordered mine. 12 am EST. all they currently had available for pre-order was the titan. which is the color i wanted anyways
Probably silver.
However, I'd like to wait until pre rooted tot or dz ROM released.
I will trade V10 in.
I am getting my Titan(black) V20 today.
I was hoping that after seeing what color others here were getting, then maybe I'd be able to make a decision, lol.
For those of you who got the silver version, is the color actually silver, or is it really just white but CALLED silver
Does the front silver parts match the color of the back?
And is the silver like a brushed aluminum?
I LOVE the color combination of blue and silver, so I was thinking of getting silver and putting on a blue case. The case will obviously cover the back, so I'm hoping the the front will still be silver and not an white color.

I have had the Titan colored one since October 29th..... they didn't have Silver in stock when I went to look at it. Just saw the silver yesterday and it definitely looks nice. Now I am having buyer's remorse for not picking/waiting for it..... should I take a hit ($) and trade back in on the silver? Its past 14 days, so I am not sure what Verizon will do if I do that? Are there any polls showing which is selling better: Tittan vs Silver?
I have the rose gold/pink one.
