Hi all
I just got my nexus s today. I picked it up from the marketplace from someone selling it. It is an awesome phone so far. It is super fast as compared to my old G1 from HTC.
Definitely going to have a bunch of questions about my phone.
Thanks all

welcome, thats a HUGE jump.
I am pretty new to the Nexus S. Basically going on 2 weeks with it now.
Welcome to the nexus S Its a good phone. I lucked out someone wanted the Samsung Focus and was willing to trade for the Nexus S. The part I wasn't expecting is that I met the guy at the Fido store and he handed me the phone BNIB still sealed.
Welcome!
When i first got my ns i came from an iphone 3G, and oh was i inlove .

For those coming from eclair or lower. Becareful with the market auto restore. I never used it on my Epic but decided to give it a try on this phone a few times. The feature itself works mostly fine but the problem is if you have a ton of apps it could be a solid 15-20 minutes or longer (not on wifi) of straight downloading and apps installing one after another. That means your CPU will be mostly pegged at 1ghz the entire duration, which generates a lot of heat. If your phone is on charge during this it just adds to the heat build up. Yesterday on 4g it took roughly 15 minutes for this process to complete and by the time it was done my battery was at scorching 47c. Not cool.
Suggest to turn it off in settings /privacy, grab titanium backup and learn to use it.

Right so I am having a dilema I really hate posts like this but iv got £250 to burn on a new tablet do I get a Xoom or Nexus 7 please don't flame me

Money to burn, that's a terrible dilemma to have. Anyways since you're in the nexus 7 forum, I going to have to suggest getting a nexus 7. No bias here!
Isn't the Xoom like 1-2 years old? Anyway, I wouldn't consider the Xoom. Too big, too heavy, too old. Go with the N7, but buy it from a brick and mortar store so you don't have to post the "my negative experiences with buying mail order" since we have about 5000 of those threads already.

I would definitely go with the Nexus 7. It's a much newer and faster device, although like Getbuzzin said, you are in the N7 forums so that's what you're going to hear around these parts. =)

Nobody is gonna say Xoom in this place. N7 is the way to go.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Why would you want a big clunky and old device like the Xoom?

Buy them both and play with FOR 10 days . on day 10 look across the room on the table . The tablet laying there and not next to you is the one to SEND BACK..
Simple easy solution.. But then again i have way more computers in Our home then people.. I so hate returning tech gadgets .. whooweeeeeee

Go for Nexus 7, you will not regret it

i know the nexus 7 only came out in june but do you think its to late to buy one because im thinking of grabing one tomorrow or should i wait till the next one comes out :/ ? any input would be appriciated
I would get one now, after all it hasn't been out for long. I would buy one now and enjoy what there is to offer at the present, if you keep waiting for the next piece of hardware you'll never enjoy and appreciate the current technology, and you can always sell it when the "next Nexus 7" is released.

The N7 is an excellent 7" tablet IMO. I'm extremely happy with it, and so is my gf's son who got one for his birthday.
I just picked one up about 2 weeks ago and I have zero regrets. It's a beast that handles anything I throw at it.

The only question to ask is Do you get 32gb or the 16gb.. Or WiFi or 3g if available where you are.
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
I went 16GB wifi because I have a 32 GB phone if I need it. However, Gamestop had a $50 off deal and there was only one 16GB available. Might need to go 32 regardless. Good buy though, I just got mine a couple days ago. I don't need a huge tablet, I wanted more of a reader and this blows the Kindle away.

WOW . Can you tell me how you got it to do the dishes and wash your delicate's . Mine Does not Like water..
OP Get the tablet you will not regret . But i recommend getting the 32 gb.. Get the gsm one if you can not tether it to your phone. other wise the wifi would be fine.. its what i have .. DO NOT LOOK BACK OR WAIT. the next best thing is the Nexus line..
Thanks everyone for being so help full looks like I'm going to pick one up in a few hours

You most definitely won't be sorry. I think if anything you were smart to wait since the 32gb was release and the 16 gb was dropped to $199.99.
A new nexus tablet probably won't come out at least for another 7 months anyway. Just enjoy the hell out of it.

I think you should go for a Wifi version if you already have a phone.
Since the next-gen Nexus is no way to come out soon, and new version changes nothing in performance but has 3g and more storage capacity, and the price of nexus 7 16gb wifi dropped. I think Nexus 7 16gb is the optimized choice atm.

I've had several devices, a few tablets. This device is flawless. I love it. I'm a little late to the party as well, but it doesn't matter, this device is awesome. Good luck and enjoy.
Anyone on the fence should jump, they WILL NOT be sorry

I bought the 32gb model less than month and I'm loving it. Come just the Nexus 7 bandwagon!

Day one user here too. Great phone. Just wish it had more RAM -if it wasn't for that, I'd have no problem keeping this phone and never upgrading. Especially with the extended battery I got for it.

Mine has only 1 year and 2 month, i'm waiting for official Cyanogen 10.1 nightlies ^^

Personally, I've had mine for 15 months, and it's been my best phone, not solely because of the hardware, but because of all the awesome developers. You guys make this phone the best!

Not since day one but did have gs1 the year prior to this phone's release. We tend to forget that this phone is practically identical to the galaxy s- a phone that remained technically unrivalled for about a year prior to the nexus release.

This is my 2nd android phone and first nexus device. I love it in so many reasons. Its performance and the community support have made me stick with android. Its sad that Google will no longer support it and the hardware is kinda outdated. But NS have given me the best android experience. I don't own gnex because I really love my NS.

The NS does look really nice, the Nexus One looked good too! The N4 looks so uninspiring. If that design came out 2 years ago, it would have been awesome...but going into 2013, it looks kinda bland

I could easily see myself buying a "Nexus S2" with the exact same form factor and just upgraded specs... like a dual-core processor and LTE!
Bought mine on release day 2 years ago today! Love this phone. Easily the most ergonomic phone I've ever held in my hand. It is just so comfortable. Still on the original battery, never changed it. No hardware issues (except for that slight green line on the left edge of the screen). A trooper of a phone that has held its ground. Bought into the Nexus program for the Google updates and I have not been disappointed. The dev community is carrying us into 4.2 and beyond. It's been a great 2 years for Android. Look how far we've come. What a ride the Nexus S has been on! GB>ICS>JB
Bought mine on the first day it came out two years ago. This phone has been a beast and omg the awesome development. Though I'm not using it now (I got a GS3 about a month ago), it carries on its glory in my brother's hands. He's loving it! It's sad to probably see development will stop after 4.2. This phone is what a true Nexus phone should be.
Happy Birthday Nexus S! ??

I've had this phone now for about 14 months and is hands down the beat phone experience I've had... Rooted within my first month of having it and was running custom ICS ROMs all the way up til my current 4.2.1 Rasbean Jelly ROM... I don't think development will continue for another two years... I DO think it will get KLP, by port from a dev of course... But the Android updates really starting to catch up to the specs of the phone and were starting to see its limits... I do believe development could easily continue for +2 years... But i just don't see devs sticking around that long...

She knew I wanted one, since our 3 year old just broke my old nexus 7 about two weeks ago lol, Shes not into any of this stuff, she loves her iPhone, which is fine by me, works for her. But she knows I love all these things lol, She saw the google io/brunch with me, so she knew i was going to get one eventually. She beat me to it and im happy.
my gf works for the Samsung booth at best buy. brought home chromecast drive for me. she's like I his one cause people are going nuts for them. I told her you don't buy Google stuff just for what it does out of the box but what it does after a trip to the xda forums lol

My wife is pi$$ed at me. Not sure why, I've been saying I'm going to buy a Nexus 7 once the new ones came out. I even told her when I left Saturday night that I was going to Best Buy to get the Nexus. I think I may have even arranged the sale of my ipad mini. Maybe she's just j-ing.

Well what's almost as good is when your wife is supportive of you taking a 50 mile drive to pick up one of the only 32gb models available in my area at best buy. Before we got married, like a month into the relationship, my wife bought me an Xbox 360 with second controller and a couple of games. This was years ago but I still get surprised with nice beer purchases and a couple of instances of her "peer pressuring" me into buying various guns for myself because "you deserve it."
