Would you some how try to get rid of it and buy a 6P or just use it? I know this is an android forum, but there are in the ios users in here as well.
If I needed some money I would sell it and get a 6p.. If not then I would just keep it. Interesting question!
Neither, I would find some novel/interesting way to destroy it, shoot a video and post it to YouTube...

Sell it and get something else. My wife has an iPhone and I don't see how people think that crap is okay.
I'd definitely try it out in a while. There's a number of reasons I don't use iPhones but price is definitely one. That being said it is a pretty solid phone when I used the 2G ages ago and I'd definitely give it a chance before I gave it away or sold it.
I would sell it. I tried the iPhone 4 for a week, never again. It's just boring to me
Wouldn't be caught dead with a device made by that company, not in a million years. I'd take some fool's money for it and purchase something decent.
I'd give it to my wife. She enjoys its simplicity of use and the apparent status it gives. I didn't buy the 6s for her form the 6, as it seemed not a great difference to the previous model. But that's the same reason I waited for the HN6P after my Note 4. Believe me I was itching to rid myself of it, but ... didn't really seem to be a point. I'd get too frustrated with the Apple lack of widgets (and no they don't have them) and I'd really get annoyed at missing a back button.
I'd sell it. The build quality of the iPhone is good but the software is gimped and its overpriced.
I'd sell it, buy a Nexus 6P (if I didn't already own one), then go to a fancy restaurant with the remainder of the money.

It depends. If all your "stuff" is in the Android ecosystem then converting to iOS would be painful. If that's the case you should sell the iP6s+ and get an Android phone. If you're in to rooting and ROM'ing then you should definitely get a 6P. If you're in to "features" you should consider a Note 5. Nexus forums are the least objective on XDA so if you're looking for different viewpoints you might want to post in an iPhone or Note 5 forum.
I tell most of my non-techie friends to get iPhones because they don't want choices, they want things defined for them. For those going Android I recommend Samsung or LG because their overlays make their phones more approachable.
BTW, nice gift.

As a longtime android phone user and ipad owner I would definitely sell it for a 6p. I absolutely cannot stand iOS for my phone. I am never closed minded for anything and own all platforms (except windows.... F windows) I won't use anything for a computer other than a mac... But I really hate iOS. Why do I use an ipad? Content really. For the tablet function and feature Android is too cumbersome, but for a daily driver... Android is far superior and while iOS claims to be more user friendly out of the box, in the long run I feel Android is after about a week. The Nexus 6p is the the BEST phone I've ever owned. My wife was also a longtime android user until her work switched her to an iphone 6 and we are both frustrated beyond belief by its limitations.
My lady has a 6s+, and she is jelly of my phone. My pictures are better, blacks on the screen aren't washed out, the fingerprint sensor is also in a more natural spot, and OK Google seems to answer questions a bit better than Hey Siri.
Put it quickly on eBay before you have brain damage!
Now that I have an N6P already, I will sell it and use the money on a Z4 Tablet or some minor phones/tablets I never had the chance to reach myself.
If I got give a iPhone it would be sold in first half hour of having it lol
I would sell the rotten Apple too and buy something decent for the money. iOS is a primitive operating system in comparison to Android.
Bit of a pointless thread isn't it?
On an Pure Android section, the vast majority are just going to say sell it and buy a 6P, ask the same question on an Apple forum and you will get the opposite answer. The 6P is not a cheap Android phone, so people who buy them do so because they want the Pure Android experience, not because they can't afford an iPhone.
Each to their own and people have personal preferences, and also investments in eco systems made over years now.
I would probably keep it as a backup phone.

.......because i sold it for $700, thats way more than i can sell my nexus one for.....so that has to mean its a better phone. hahahahah!!!
the iphone 4 is a good phone, but its not the nexus one. I love to tinker with the settings and to be able to just change every thing on the phone. Which the iphone doesnt offer. Im not tied down to what itunes will give me as far as updates.
Its also nice to be able to download an OS update and be able to actually update it while im sitting at work with no wifi and no computers in sight.
Im not an iphone hater, but given the choice to keep one phone, i decided to keep the n1 and get a little bit of pocket change on the side, i think its a win-win for me! Used it good for a whole week, and it felt so much just like my old 3gs. But the design is what won me over, i love the industrial look and it has a solid feel to it.
But i still cant believe i sold my iphone for that much. Its not like I had to work hard to get the iphone too. 2 hours max in line and i was on my merry way with the phone.
anybody else bought an iphone 4 and sold it?
No but you damn well better believe I'm going to be the first one preordering to do just that the next WWDC/announcement. Haven't done any stock trading with apple since the first iphone when I bought call options before the announcement.. cause after that it wasn't a sure thing IMO on a price move. This sounds easier than trying to get that trade right. Plus I get to mess around with it a week? Awesome.
I'm keeping my iPhone 4 it still is an excellent iPod. My main driver is my Nexus one.
Just because you mention the Nexus One doesn't mean this should go in this forum.. Meh.
very funny post. Judging from the thread subject, I clicked on it to watch the flaming. I will probably never own an iPhone myself. I am sick of paying big money for contracts and went the prepaid route. I picked the android Motorola i1 - the latest from boost mobile. I'm very happy with it. Now if only it could get its own forums on xda...
Iphonie Sux Nexus Rocks
Exactly my thoughts...
I´m waiting for my contract to run out...then I plan to threat Vodafone to jump into Vomit-Star and their Iphone4, they will react offering me the same phone at a better price...I will sold it, then pick another Nexus for my Girl, and keep the rest of money in pocket.
Bah, I'm just waiting for iPhone 4 in Australia, I wish it'd be released here soon...
There are several Nexus One vs iPhone threads already in this forum, please use the search function and do not start a new thread. Also if you are asking a question then direct it to the N1 Q&A Forum, not here - as already stated in the stickies.

Hello, guys
I want to know what your views are on trading my iphone 4 16gb for an nexus one? Please don't get carried away with "it's an apple device". so, anyway i want to know your opinion on this.
It depends on what are you looking for in a phone - and then you need to compare, what each device does and how it does - and then decide if it's a good trade.
dollar for dollar i would see this as a poor trade...
What you should do is sell the iphone 4 for cash, then used that cash to buy nexus one + leftover cash.
Both phones can be had for around the same price. Both are really good phones. I wouldn't trade my Nexus for an iPhone 4 for nothing. The Nexus is a rare phone that is completely customizable and personable. I could never find myself stuck with one homescreen layout.
Would I suggest you sell your iPhone 4 for a nexus? Probably not. It could be a good investment as Android Gingerbread is due out shortly and the Nexus might pull in some big dough for having it.
I would suggest that if you want to make the switch to Android (which you should) I would hold off until next year when some of the newer dual-core chips come out.
If you can't wait to get rid of the iPhone 4 (I don't blame you) and you want something now, the Nexus One is a great candidate although good luck finding a AT&T version. The MyTouch HD, G2, EVO, DroidX, and Galaxy S are all good phones. Samsung and Motorola are software update Nazi's. The HTC variants usually have good community base for custom roms and hacks. The G2 runs stock Android which is nice, similar to the Nexus One.
The Nexus One gets its updates directly from Google which is why it is so popular. The others are updated via the Carriers/Manufactures.

Where did he say he was doing a straight swap? He didnt actually mention prices?
Anyway, as said, it depends what you want to do with it, and which OS you prefer. The iphone is undoubtedly more polished, more stable, has a better battery life and higher resale value, and a greater range of games and apps. The camera is slightly better and the screen is noticeably better. As an overall ownership experience, I'd say for "most people" the iphone is clearly better. For a techie like most of the folks on this site, its not so clear cut. The N1, thanks to android is a lot more open and flexible, and certainly seems like its more powerful at times; there is nothing that can't be changed - the iphone is a lot more restricted.
So what do you want out of a phone? Do you want a good device that works nigh perfectly all of the time or are you willing to settle for a few niggles for a device that can be customised to a much greater degree?
Personally, I've got to say, if someone came along and offered to swap me an iPhone 4 for my Nexus One, I'd have to say that I personally would take it. However, in the real world, nobody is going to do that - the best I could hope for would be to hand over £200 and my Nexus One for an iphone 4, and with that in mind, the choice is simple - I'd keep the N1. For me, the IP4 is a better phone overall, but the N1 is easily 90%+ the phone the IP4 is, and for that reason given that I'd have to hand over a large wedge of cash to swap, the choice is reasonably simple. That said, I can't say I haven't sometimes been tempted to go back to an iphone.
I own a Tablet, Netbook, Windows & Ubuntu Laptops, and Servers; but I've never owned a SmartPhone. Now that I may finally be upgrading my Verizon Plan, I need guidance.
Asking which is the best SmartPhone out there is very a very subjective and possibly contentious discussion, and if you have a hands-down favorite I want to hear about it, but more importantly I want to know which of the current VZW offerings to avoid. I figure that will be a better way to narrow the field and make my choice.
Thanks in advance,

First off it depends on what you want to do with the phone. there is never one clear cut winner. if you are looking to root, mod, flash and such. you may be interested in a completely different phone then someone looking to maximize random features and such.
my vote. you can never go wrong with a nexus. easy to unlock. root. flash. have long-term support. always a great choice. i have one. love it.
Verizon carries a lot of motorola phones. they tend to have good build quality, and lots of factory features. but be warned some are a headache to work with, and moto can be a real pain about unlocking bootloaders and such. im not down-talking moto in anyway, i have an atrix too and love it. just letting you know.
again there is not "best phone" there is a new great phone out every day. look around. read some reviews. and remember if you really cant decide. nexus is the best of ALL worlds. just remember to do some reading up on what the limitations are before you buy.
hope this can help a little.

That's a tough one because, as you mentioned, it's a very subjective issue with most people. You have a diverse set of other devices so my first question would have to deal with how badly do you need your smartphone to interact with them. What OS is on your tablet and netbook. If they're both Android I would recommend you stay with Verizon's Droid line. If they're Windows I would heavily recommend that you look at Windows Phone, namely the Trophy on Verizon. Don't get caught up in the whole "specs" conversation, go to a Verizon store and actually work the phone. Is it intuitive? Does it lag more than you would care for? How are the buttons, keyboards, etc. If this is your first smartphone I would definitely suggest you consider the "feel" of the phone and the menus, layout & screen. On another note, if you don't feel comfortable with any of their offerings, buy a good used one on ebay or Craigslist and put it on your contract. It'll be much less sour than to have to spend the next two years with a phone you hate to even look at. Hope this helps.
Once you have used the HTC EVO 3D camera you will never look at another phone again! when i take photos of my family and kids in 3d the photos just amaze me every time. when i switch to 2d and take photos the pictures are still very clear but just boring. i actually only take 3d photos now as you can edit the photo later and create a 2d copy from it. it also scored an impressive 2800 points in quadrant on a ics leak stock kernel!! im running myn without sense and it starts up only using 300mb of ram. there's 1gb ram!!!!
Well, these days I'd say the One X or Sammy Galaxy the 3rd ;o)
But the iPhone is not a dumbphone either, no? (I feel I'll get hell for this...)
I totally agree it's a complex question.
As mentioned before.try to summarize what you're going to do with it and which functions and feature are a must for you.
Keep us up on what you got in the end.
Cheers and good hunting
Thanks for all the input so far. To answer some of the questions:
I don't think I need the phone to interact with my tablet or netbook.
My tablet is a rooted ViewSonic G-Tablet with Flashback ROM
My netbook is WinXP with Ubuntu bootable from usb-stick.
If you could please wait until the end of this summer. There are a lot of great devices that are going to be released.

This. There are great offerings coming from Sony, LG, and others before the end of the summer. You're definitely best off waiting to see what comes, and if nothing new catches your eye you'll still get an even better price on older devices once the new crop hits.
There are many good smartphones,
many others will suggest iphone 4s or 5, or SIII, but a good model in stores now is Sony Xperia S.
Oh hell yes, the Xperia S is pretty good.

Well it looks like I'll be putting off my quest for the perfect phone for another time.
When I said I've never had a SmartPhone, that wasn't exactly true. Collecting dust in my draw for years, I've had a Mogul PPC-6800. Problem was I could never get Verizon to connect it without a data plan. They just relented and I now have it activated (with no data). Of course now that I'm using it, I'm too blind to read the damn screen.
back when I first got the Mogul, however many years ago that was, all I wanted was a PIM to replace my Palm Pilot and to be able to make Skype calls from wifi hot-spots.
Just wait for the galaxy g3 or just buy the galaxy nexus. My friend who never had a smartphone but he picked it up (gnexus) easy and now he using use all the features. If ur really really dumb, there is the iphone

I would appreciate it if you didn't copy & paste my posts and try to pass it off as "my idea". Not cool.
a google phone like the galaxy nexus will give you the best android experience since it gets its updates directly from the carriers.
unfortunately verizon hasnt updated their cdma version of the galaxy nexus since it was launched in 2011.

Sorry to create a thread, but I was hoping for someone how knows Android well to help me out.
A brief description on my phone history: iPhone 3G, iPhone 4, Galaxy Note, return to iPhone 4 and now iPhone 5.
Upgrade from iPhone 3 to 4 was simple, contract ran out, got a new phone. With the Galaxy Note, I opened a new contract with a fair amount of time remaining on my iPhone contract. However I sold my Note after just 2 months with it. I had some battery issues, performance issues and I did not like the Touch Wizz UI and I did not want to root/flash (Not sure on which one) it. So I went back to my iPhone 4, however I like the look of "stock Android".
iPhone 5 comes out, still paying for the contract I took out for the Galaxy Note (£21.50 Bargain), so I brought the iPhone 5 directly from Apple and am now using that contract on my iPhone 5. My iPhone 4 contract has now ran out. So I have an iPhone 5 on a £21.50 a month contract.
So now that is out of the way, here is my problem (well it's not really). I can sell my iPhone 5 for more than what I paid for it, since there is a shortage at the moment (Well I presume that is why) and ever since the Nexus 7 I have wanted to grab a Nexus device. And now the Nexus 4 has been announced for such a bargain price I am considering giving it a go. Main reason I want to get rid of the iPhone is because I'm a little bored with iOS.
However I had that last time when I got the Galaxy Note, but didn't get on with it. But I always had the option to go back to iOS as I had my iPhone 4. And I can't afford to buy the Nexus 4 without selling the iPhone.
My current setup is very much Apple. I have an iMac and MacBook Air, which does all sync very nicely together with my phone. So my first question is, can Android be connected easily to OSX Mountain Lion? As I couldn't get it to work with my Note when I had that.
I have heard a number of complaints about the Nexus 4, from Android users. The "not enough space" and "can't access battery", well I'm used to that anyway and doesn't bother me. 16GB is easily enough for a phone in my opinion. But I have also heard of over heating issues and relatively poor build quality, which worries me a little.
I know the device being tested may not be final version, but it could also be. On paper, the phone sounds great. But after reading my post I hope someone can help me make a decision. Please no fanboy like posts, I know everyone likes to, but that doesn't help me make my mind up, if anything it makes me want an Android less.
All I want is something that is reliable and does the main things in an easy way. I have never had any major problems with iOS, a few gripes here and there. But it has become stale. My last experience with Android was horrible, but it may have just been the phone. Played on my friends S3 the other day and I enjoyed it. However I want stock Android/ Google Nexus is I am to jump in again.
Thanks,
Craig
Afaik you can sync your android device with your iPhone, although you need an app, i think one that works is airsync.
Couldnt you sell the iPhone 4 to get money for the N4 and if you dont like it sell it?
-xLychee
Edit: I think this is the wrong place to ask.
I may have missed it, so forgive me if I did. But if I understand you correctly, you still have your iPhone 4 laying around in addition to the iPhone 5 you just upgraded to, right?
If that's the case, and you really want to try the Nexus 4 but need to sell the iPhone to fund the purchase, I'd keep the iPhone 5, sell the iPhone 4 and use the money from the sell of the iPhone 4 towards paying for the Nexus 4. I know you won't get enough to cover the entire purchase, but it will help offset the cost a bit.
Or, you could sell the iPhone 5, keep the iPhone 4 as a backup (in case you weren't in love with the Nexus 4), and not only pay for the Nexus 4, but actually make a profit on it.
If you no longer have the iPhone 4 (if I missed that you sold it or got rid of it), the my apologies and please disregard my advice. :good:
I seriously was thinking of getting iphone5, for camera and music quality. Convinced myself to cough up the bucks for 32GB, $100 for cables, etc. The deal killer was keyboards. Giving up my (highly tuned) Swiftkey would be like giving up my computer mouse. And there is nothing comparable on iphone. Actually having to spell out words again... no way. I guess if someone has never had a mouse, they might not miss one.
I am going to get a Nexus 4. Biggest hesitation is giving up my 32GB SD card, but I can manage. LTE does not matter to me, on wifi 98% of time anyway. Have been planning to switch to Straight Talk regardless, which is AT&T or Tmobile HSPA+.
You might find this interesting -- compares Android to iOS.

To be honest, it sounds to me like you better keep your iphone 5 unless you're prepared to change your mentality. iOS is easier than Android, iOS is meant for the people that just want their phone to do it's job, Android, and especially the nexus line, is made for power users, people that like and want to tweak the phone. If you have no intention to root, you're missing the point of the whole thing IMO. I'm not sure there are too many people around with unrooted nexus phones.
That said, you mentioned that you're bored with iOS. That's a good start
Stock JB is still pure awesome. You don't have to root your phone to have a much better OS compared to iOS.
That is a over simplification of it.
Yes many nexus users are hardcore nerds or fools that think they are . All you had to do over the years was read the general and q&a forums for the nexus devices.
There is also a decent amount of people that simply want a decent quality unlocked phone. No contracts. No carrier bs. Something that the rest of the world is used to but not in the States. Then add in stock android and fast updates.

See I thought the idea to get stock android was so you could use Android the way the developer intended? Like I said I didn't like Touch Whizz when I used it, even on the S3 that was my biggest issue when using it. I don't like the HTC one (Can't remember what it is called), but I do like the look of stock.
I've seen a number of people with Rooted devices, but honestly (I know it's down to preference) most of the ones I've seen being used look ugly.
But you're saying that there is no point getting a Nexus device and not root it?
And the video ( well not the video itself ) pisses me off. First it is not even that users video. He just stole somebody's video and put nexus 4 in the title. Do not watch and support that garbage. Find the original source if you're interested.
Over 56% off people that switch OS from the original one they initiated their "smart phone" (Oxymoron for IOS) experience on, ended up going back to their original OS.
Stay with what you know and are comfortable with, or you'll more than likely contribute to that 56% going even higher lol
Thanks for all the replies. I think I will probably sell my iPhone 4 and attempt to fund it. Leaving my iPhone 5 as back up. But then thats a damn expensive back up. hmm, maybe need to decide a little more.
But the info provided has been good. Any more news of a couple of the faults that have been reported?

True story. I had a friend that switched his 4S for his girlfriends GNex. He absolutely loved Android, but his GF hated iOS. They ended up switching back because his girlfriend threatened his life. I think many people can live simultaneously with Android and iOS. I have a few friends with a mixture of them.
Can't really tell of faults yet because not many people have the device. You could sell your 4 and buy the nexus. If you don't like it after 15 days return it. Or if you find you prefer it sell the 5. I have the 5 now and plan on keeping both.

See, your bigger concern about the device being rooted is that the ones you saw looked ugly when in fact, being rooted has 0 to do with the phone's look. I'm really not trying to make you look stupid, I understand that most of the people doesn't want nor need to know about any of this. And those are the kind of people that would value iOS over Android. My opinion, if you have the money to do so, give the Nexus a try, but I don't expect you to like it over the iPhone 5.
Had the iphone 5 for 2-3 weeks, and decided to sell it for N4, SGS3 or something close in price.
Going to save the extra money for black friday.
I think you should go for the nexus. One reason being that you can probably pocket half of the money that you get from selling your iphone. As for android being reliable, I have owned a galaxy nexus with jellybean on it ever since it was released. I must say it was a completely flawless UI experience. Also, seeing as you owned a note before, you aren't scared to go for the bigger screen. I know some iphone fans are worried the 4.7" screen may be too big. I used to own the iphone 4 and made the switch to android and never looked back. I just love the customization of android. Oh and by the way, I never rooted/flashed custom roms. I felt stock jellybean was so good it would be unnecessary.
absolutely not, but is your choice.

Over 56% off people that switch OS from the original one they initiated their "smart phone" (Oxymoron for IOS) experience on, ended up going back to their original OS.
Stay with what you know and are comfortable with, or you'll more than likely contribute to that 56% going even higher lol

The phone is not released yet until a week from now. Wait until people get it and read their feedbacks.
About your dislike of Touchwiz, you can simply install a different launcher, it won't change everything, but it eliminates a good part of Touchwiz.

I started with iOS. I never ever wanted to go back.
Since so many of the reviews are saying things like best smartphone today, superb, etc... if money was no object, would you still get a Nexus 6P over any other Android or Apple device?
I would still get the Nexus 6P
Project Arya sounds interesting to try out, but there's not really any other brand/model I'd care to have. They all sort of butcher the android experience, windows just doesn't feel right to me, nor does iOS. So Nexus 6P is ideal for me.

As things stands today, I also would choose 6P over any Apple or other Android device.
If you have to ask others, then it may not be for you.
In posting this thread, I neglected to include the condition being if you could not root would you choose...
I would choose the Nexus 6P over anything else available on the market today.

Money was a concern? Okay...........

I would cancel my Sprint contract, buy a Lumia 950 and move to T-mobile. I cannot find a phone that runs Android that is enjoyable to use anymore due to the size so I would switch to a Windows 10 device. The Nexus 6P is too big and the Nexus 5X runs like **** and isn't worth $200. I will be using my Nexus 5 until 11/19/16 which is when I can switch to T-mobile and buy a phone rather than a phablet.
6P regardless. The Note has no 128GB option and the iPhone doesn't have stereo speakers or Android. No other Android has speedy carrier-free (I'm with AT&T) updates. The Moto Pure camera and performance can't compete.
I suppose the only other phone I've considered at this stage, with your parameters, would be the Blackberry Priv. A nearly stock Android phone with top specs and blackberry security, although development would probably be DOA, it would still make for an interesting experience.
