Depends on what you want out of an Android phone. You can't buy the Nexus One directly from Google, you can with the Nexus S though (and Best Buy). I still have the Nexus One and I really don't see myself even considering the S due to the lack of things I need (FFC is useless, plastic throws me off).

So if I buy N1 would it be upgradable to honeycomb? And is it fast compare to x10? That's what I currently have?

I have the nexus one, but if i could choose now - I'll definitely go for the Nexus S without a doubt.
The touch screen on the nexus one is abysmal. It has multiple freezing issues, and a boatload of bugs that no one is bothering to fix. It's also much slower than the S... i've had a play on my brother's S, and it's so smooth, responsive.. amazing phone.
Also, you're guaranteed to survive at least 1 Android upgrade with the Nexus S, seeing as it's the flagship google dev phone as of now. The nexus one... not sure how much longer it can go. probably a while, but that would be do to the mod community and not the official channels.
Go Nexus S and don't look back.

Yes it will. You are basically comparing phones with the same hardware, both 1 GHz, 480 x 800, 5 MP, capacitive buttons, etc. Updates should be reasonably quick depending on how Andy Rubin runs things.
Oh and the major difference being that the Nexus One has dual noise canceling mics, phones calls are going to be crisp and better for the person on the other end. The Nexus S has a front facing camera, once Skype gets on Android, it might take off.

I have the Nexus One and my wife has the Nexus S. Neither is rooted. I find the USER EXPERIENCE on the Nexus S to be MUCH BETTER than the Nexus One. Larger and brighter display that you can use outside. Not the fingerprint magnet the Nexus One is. Much smoother touch screen experience. And I don't know what all the fuss is about the plastic case vs the metal case. I find it very sturdy and it even feels better in your hand. It's faster at almost everything. You can even hear the speakerphone. Don't get me wrong, I love my Nexus One. But if some one ask me if i would trade it for a Nexus S... Without any hesitation YES!

Fingerprinting on the battery door. If you get fingerprints all over the Nexus One battery door, I am surprised. On the Nexus S, not so much.

I had the n1 one for about a year and upgraded to the nexus s just 2 weeks ago. I find the battery life to be amazing (full day normal use) on the nexus s. The most important improvement has been the touch screen, not cause i play games, but for typing. I noticed that im making less mistakes on the nexus s and my speed has gone up substantially, i also had gingerbread on my n1.

Go with the Motorola Atrix or a new tablet.

Tablets are for sick people.
Both Nexus phones are great and both have their problems...but nothing is perfect!

I had the nexus S for about two weeks before I had to return it since T-Mobile service is horrible where I live.
I've gotta say that the S is better in most aspects. The screen is amazingly bright and easy to read in sunlight. The screen also registers fast typing much better, so I make a lot less mistakes.
Stock gingerbread is so fast and smooth.
However I didn't like the glossy plastic construction on the NS. It was a fingerprint magnet. Also, the quality control on new units were terrible.

the only thing that I keep N1 is to stay with T-Mobile $5.99 old unlimited data plan.

I jumped ship, farewell my beloved G2.

Since HTC decided to not make physical keyboards anymore, I was very let down. I tried out there ONE series and was greatly disappointed. I always felt HTC was the leader in Andriod based phones, but I feel like Samsung is taking the lead. ( I know, it took me awhile to admit this to myself)
Anyhow, I took the leap to the Samsung Galaxy SIII and I am really enjoying it. I have been using swift key app, which I am typing like a maniac on it and spells everything perfectly.
Ever since removing the service from my G2, I have been using it for an alarm clock. HOLY COW how much the battery life is when there is no data or service! It has been 5 days and I am at currently 79 percent battery.
I used the keyboard today after a week of not using it and wow I do miss it. What are you guys waiting for next? Is anyone jumping ship as well? I feel like there won't be any top tier phones with a physical keyboard anymore.

I'm also getting s3 technically I can't upgrade till Sept but I'm gonna call to see if they allow early extension on contract. I still love my keyboard but I can manage to live without it since the new phone has a huge screen

Actually I am jumping on the ship! I have a G2 in the mail. I loved my G1 and the form factor of a trackpad, qwerty. I dont think I'd like the massive screen phones. So my plan is use the G2 until my dream phone (ie G3) comes out (if it does). Otherwise I did try the Galaxy Nexus and was quite impressed. Rumor has it that google has 4/5 new nexus phones planned for november, so I am crossing my fingers and toes one of them is a qwerty..

You are still on G1?....holy...I played with my G1 the other day, I can't believe how slow it is!

I had a Galaxy Note for 1 1/2 month and returnd to my Desire Z.
The Note hardware is great and the size of the display is fun to work with, but I missed my hw kb. I thought with a really big screen I dont need it, but its just not the same feeling...
Besides that, I dont like the storage management on Samsung phones.
And to my surprise, I do not need the dual core power.
The DZ ist really fast enough for all my needs

I've tried Samsung S3 the other day and the screen was not that bad. Although text did look jagged at the edges.
Still doesn't beat One X in colour and angles.

Wow...my g2 just want out and was debating on the s3 or one s.
Im worried that the s3 overall size is too big to put in your pockets.
How do you like yoursonthe size?

I switched to the HTC raider/vivid because; 1 - My Desire Z decided it was going to stop accepting sd cards put into the slot (and yes I tried different sd cards and even replaced the sd card holder). 2 - I needed a large screen phone for my work because I work with a lot of excel spreadsheets.
Needless to say, after half a day and my battery already dead, I longed for my good old "Zed" back. I found someone who had smashed their screen and rebuilt the phone from two defective phones. I'm sorry baby, I won't leave you again! (Till a better solution comes along)
I'm sticking with my Desire Z from here on out until I find a better phone. Something with a keyboard or a better keyboard solution. Also it's got to have expandable memory and a good battery life.

Unfortunately my Z took a tumble down the stairs last night so I went and found an S3 on the local online classifieds. Not sure I like the no keyboard part of it all but I supposed I'll learn to adjust. So long Zed I'll miss you and the great people in these forums.

Forgive the SONY user but need help!

Hi all, currently I'm Sony Xperia S user but after a year of usage I got tired of it, very unhappy with build quality and the speed of the device. The thing is I'm planning to get Nexus 4 (white) in about few weeks and I'd like to know the impression of N4 users. If you have some spare time please write something about the device, camera performance. Thanks in advance!

My friend has an xperia s and it lags like hell when he scrolls through the UI, he's on stock unrooted.
Get the nexus 4, it's a beast. Camera performance compared to some other phones is acceptable, but far from being the best.
There are many threads about impressions and thoughts around here, mostly you'll find satisfied users.

I upgraded from a XS to the N4 a month ago. You won't be disappointed The first thing you will notice is the screen is a lot better, but the colours do need adjusting for the best results otherwise it will look washed out. I've been getting the same battery life as I did with the XS so no issues there. The build quality is OK, not brilliant, but acceptable for the price.
I never had any speed/lag issue with the XS on SEMC ROM but the N4 does feel nippier. The camera seems faster on the N4 but I had issues with the XS camera so can't compare directly.

I'm one of those unsatisfied with the camera , because i had a galaxy s3 before and i know what phone cameras are capable of nowadays. But anyways, it's a compromise, nexus line was never about cameras...
As for the screen, some people will tell you it's washed out and to mess around with it, i think it is a subjective thing, my phone is rooted,but i kept the stock colors because i like them.
Performance wise, nothing comes close to a nexus and a stock android experience.

Thanks for your impressions. I love XS, I love it's camera and it really performs very well that's why it's hard for me to switch from cameraphone to Performance monster.

I came from a S2 Skyrocket.
The camera is meh @ best. Samsung really does have rocking cameras. N4 is Okay in decent light. Sucks in low light conditions.
The pure android OS with the hardware this phone has for the price is awesome.
The screen is really crisp and I don't find the colors wash.

Not realy, the test reports are mixed and various. Batterylife isn`t good, almost no apps are optimized for the screen resolution allthough its very good and the software features though much flatter than on the G2 is still pretty scattered all around the board and not easy to find.

to be honest the IP67 for me was a deal-breaker and I wouldn't change to another phone... I live in Ireland where rains 90% of time.. so using my phone outside while its raining without breaking the phone, is pretty damn important to me... And the phone itself is such a great surprise to me that the only device i am willing to buy next is Note 4 ))

I was considering it but then I realised there is no reason to.
1. Doesn't perform as well in gaming
2. Mixed reviews regarding battery life
3. Heating issues which leads to auto brightness issues
4. Personal opinion, but I have small hands
5. Animations stutter and frequent launcher redraws.

Nope, the knock code feature seems pretty cool but that's about it. I'm ashamed to say I'm actually waiting for the iPhone 6
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Free mobile app

I bought a LG G3 before trading it in for the S5. The phone is beautiful but the lack of a physical home button was annoying and the knock feature didn't always work. The screen was dim and battery life was terrible. I came from an iphone so using the G3 made me want to go back but I decided to try out the S5 first and have loved it with no thought of going back to the iphone

I was considering the Lg G3, HTC m8, or the S5 as an update from my S3, and at first the G3 seemed to be a clear choice. However the more I looked into it the more I read that I didn't like, I'm sure its a good phone, but there seem to be a lot of issues that could occur.
Seeing as I'm going to be getting my contract online, I don't want to have to be returning a phone back and forth by post.
I tried all 3 in a shop recently and I was surprised to find that I was more impressed with the screen on the S5 than the G3, and I really didn't like the feel of the M8 at all ( despite what every review says!). Also I really like the whole custom ROM scene that comes with the galaxy.
So I've just ordered my S5 and I really cant wait!

Good choice mate, the S5 is handsdown the best S device so far. Its fast and snappy, no lags whatsoever, good screen and the only disadvantages are the storage (32GB would be nice) and the speaker that could be a bit louder (can be fixed though with a mod).

In my opinion I think the m8 is snappier and the speaker on the s5 isn't even comparable.
The screen I agree with you, it's fantastic.

The g3 doesn't come out until august where I live. When I was going through my upgrade choices, the g3 (despite the wait) was my choice. (Based on what I'd seen from the g2). But, the s5 kept daunting on me although I didn't really want another Samsung device (had an s3 prior).
I don't know though, from the reviews I'd read, I seen the only thing people were complaining about was the design. That really didn't bug me at all and I was quite happy to see the s5 still in plastic. I had an aluminium case for my s3 that's been scratched and whatnot over time so a metal phone really doesn't suit my needs.
I did regret my decision before I got my s5, but haven't really regretted it since its arrival.
I'm quite pleased with the fingerprint scanning thing and now couldn't see myself going without it.
On the downside, Samsung have scarred some of the devs with secure bootloaders and Knox, so there's still little variety in rom selection.
When I got this phone, the one thing I really wanted (and have been waiting for) is a google play edition rom.

I jave always liked Touchwiz since when I got the Galaxy S2. Then I got the S3 and now S5. I was really tired of the on the Galaxy S3. The S3 was the best phone I've ever head but that lag sometimes was so bad it would make me mad. The Galaxy S5 has everything I want.
A lag free Touchwiz experience, exellent and long battery life, an amazing AMOLED display (I love AMOLED displays) and it is water resistant. I've recorded videos even deeper than 1 meter a lot of times and the phone is completely fine.

The subject basically says what I am thinking. This is a great phone, don't get me wrong, but it's kind of boring.
I was looking at the fingerprint scanner on the $6 and it looks pretty cool, especially how it logs you into websites with it's browser.
Anyone else bored with this phone?

That's cool and all but I never used the fingerprint scanner. I have both devices. And what I prefer over the S6 is of course the changeable battery and also the SD card. Plus the fact that this phone has more potential for development. CM and bliss pop will be here any day. The S6 hasn't had much action in that division.
The LG UI is a nice change from touchwiz has been my main UI since the S2. I think I'm about to sell my S6.

Nope, not at all. I hate fingerprint scanners, as I am not willing to give any more personal information to the rest of the world as I am already am by using a smartphone. For what benefit? There is a plethora of other ways to unlock your phone and since 5.1 they work great for me. The LG G4 has what I want from a phone, a great screen, great camera and a removable battery and sd card slot.
Especially the battery and the missing sd card slot is a deal breaker for me. So the S6 was never really an option. Although the leather option really looks nice and works in day to day use, while glass on a phone is a very dumb idea. I can not count how many times I did replace the back of my girl friends Sony Z3.
LG has of course some things to fix, but the overall concept of the phone is great. Samsung? Not so much!

I want to love my LGG4 but I am having the occasional vertical screen split issue and I am hesitating to get a refurb replacement with my TEP. If I were to trade it in (if even possible) I would go with the Note 5. My kid just got one and it is nice. Real nice! ...and no issues so far!

As card slot, removable battery, amazing display and camera front facing and rear, really selfies look much better on this phone. Also feels much better in the hand than any of the s6 line, also love the minimally intrusive ux ui, closest thing to stock you can get on any of the flagships, exception of moto pure.
Fingerprint scanner can't replace the bennifits of this phone.

You're right.
I think it tells a lot about the instability of some people, not just with phones but with everything in general. Some don't know how to be content .
I used to desire wanting a phone and other things so bad and then when I get that thing I felt "bored" after a while and then realized that this will happen with EVERY phone/laptop/car/technology/house/location/etc..
We just have to learn to be content and not let a phone/everything earthly thing be our idol.
See the benefit in what we have and look forward to living our lives.
That fingerprint on the S6 will make the OP "bored" after a while too.
If you're not happy with something because it is defective or too large / too small for you, that's a different issue.
G4 is great but I find it a bit too big because of the bottom bezel preventing me from holding it sometimes. But I still enjoy the phone a lot when I use it.

Sometimes you can feel better with phone that runs worse but look better and vice versa. I used note 4 for 2 weeks. I loved it despite the speed not being that great. But it had some serious issues with 3g signal and mobile data was very slow, often no connection at all while traveling. (shiny metal frame also looked ugly after 2 weeks)
I switched to Z3. Great phone in almost every aspect. But it became boring in its perfection of every day usage. However camera was a lot better on Note 4 I knew it and missed it when looking at photos and videos (especially in low light).
I feel like I was always looking for phone that has everything. Yesterday I used S6 edge plus for a while and I'm impressed so far. Looks amazing, camera is superb in auto and also has every manual options that g4 has (normal s6 has no shutter speed control, but I wanted to learn how to play with night shots). Speed and battery life is easily fixed (but so far looked good) with debloating software. But guys the price xD.
I tried to summarize it but it's hard, because I considered Z3 as the best phone I've ever used and everything changed in one day when the back glass cracked itself and Sony didn't want to repair it under warranty. Btw. Sony claims that their phones are no longer waterproof and you shouldn't take them underwater.

I just miss SMemo and the Samsung camera software. If this phone had all the incredible camera options along with it's high def camera and the unmatched SMemo, this phone would be the best available without question.

I have the Sprint variant and just wish the bootloader was unlocked so I could flash ROMs. I love the phone tho.
