I don't have it yet but I'll be coming from the at&t GS2. To me dev support is extremely important. So what better phone to have than the nexus.

I currently still have the s2 as well, I kept it just incase I changed my mind, but never use it now, just love this phone!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Ditto , I kept my s2 thinking I might want to go back to it but I love the GN so have decided to sell my s2.

Both amazing devices, but the nexus is in incredible. Go nexus.

Yeh still got my gs2 but to me I brows the internet and watch videos a lot so screen Res was a major thing for me, also honestly the s2 looked a little like the ip4 also had that, would pic the gn over the ip4 and the gs2 any day, I also notice less issues on the forums with this phone with the gs2 it was full of buggs lucky I just had some battery drain but that was it. Get the gn its a great phone.

I have no regrets whatsoever getting the Nexus.
The higher screen resolution is a plus for me...as I like to pick the smallest fonts possible to put more info on screen.
The Nexus feels better in hand probably due to the slight curve in design.

K before the store opens I know you guys think I jumped the gun and made my decision on one comment but it seems likea war between s2 lovers vs prime lovers and you hear so many good answers just so hard to tell who is telling the truth or they are just making up ****. also wanna say is that Im not that good with phones meaning that I I'm not going to root or put custom roms on it also is it also true that the nexus won't sync up with computer but it syncs everything automatically to a cloud kinda like icloud if? I like how easy the s2 works please help I'm messed up
Sent from my GT-I9100M using Tapatalk

meaning is the s2 easier to use than the nexus cause I payed 600 for the s2 and only have tool pay an extra 50 to get the nexus

Should I???

Hello great peoples of the Galaxy Nexus. I own and just purchase a HTC Sensation. After seeing the Galaxy Nexus drop to 399$ unlocked, I just can't help my self! Here's my issue, I'm about to buy a home and thats a big thing by it's self and I don't need to be spending money if I don't have to, but man 399$ that's great! So, It's not about money It's about the bang for the buck! Now, I own a Sensation witch is a dual core as well as the Galaxy Nexus. I also own a Nexus S so, I do know about the pure Vanilla smoothness, but come on guy's, please give me some good advice because I really need it...thanks!

$399 for the Galaxy Nexus is like buying a Lamborghini Reventon for a $100.000, in other words is very cheap for what the phone actually does.
The Galaxy Nexus costs around 600 bucks here where I'm at.

It is great value for money, but seriously, if you don't need it, don't buy it. Spend your money on useful things.

You are so right! But do you think the Sensation and the Galaxy Nexus are the same level CPU/GPU wise???

Yes, sounds like a good compromise. Regarding your other question, I think the CPU of the GNexus is quite a lot better than the one of the Sensation. Didn't look it up though.

Hi,
I own both...The HTC Sensation is not a bad phone but it starts to get "old".
And the Sensation is not verry good compared to the Gnex:
The Sensation isn't smooth,fluid and fast as the Gnex even with ICS and custom ROM/kernel,when I use the Sensation then Gnex and vice versa...OMG!!!
Even with a stock ROM/kernel the Gnex is better on many points mostly if you look in UI.
Sense is nice but it bloats the phone,even with a de-Sense ROM or CM9 it's not faster,smoother than the Gnex.
So no the Sensation and the Gnex are not at the same level for CPU/GPU,you can overclock it (the Sensation) you will not have the same level of UI...
I like HTC,less Samsung but fore these two phones the Gnex is the first.
Ressells your Sensation and buy a Gnex

Priorities are priorities my friend. Once you get that house and got done with settling in I promise you this phone will be cheaper on ebay or amazon NEW. google has set the mark now competitors have to beat it. It's the free Market so just wait. And besides when you DO get done with your stuff you will have enough time and money for the new quad core phones.

This. Wait until the market stops reeling from Google's announcement yesterday and compensates for the price drop. There is no rush especially when buying a home is your main priority, believe me I know.

The way we think about our nexus

When a new phone comes we all wonder, man the new htc is what I want and it has better camera, and the gps is amazing and SIRI wannabe, quad core exynos and 1080p super amoled +(this would be too much lol) ... I just want you guys to remember the we live in the best years of our lives and we don't appreciate it sometimes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r1CZTLk-Gk&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Now I can say for myself that I still think galaxy nexus is the best phone in the market even tho s voice and quad core is coming out, I don't really needed and I think I won't use it(had Siri for 6 months and didn't use it much ) and I hope this help for people that always think about the next big thing.

You're right... we do live in the best years of our lives.... but its also made us too reliant on technology and a bunch of spoiled brats...
I was around for all those things he spoke of in the Video and can relate... but I guess everything is relative to every generation... Each one more spoiled then the previous.
Guess in 30 years when our cars fly themselves this generation would be like "Damn, we used to drive, uphill, bothways, on a paved road!"
Lol

Lol. This was great.

Louis is amazing, thanks for the post lol
but yeah, people expect so much and are quick to dismiss something great based off one thing they aren't attracted to... kind of sad but that's the way the world works now, its only the few that can appreciate something's significance and the rest just complain that it isn't good enough.
We gotta hand it to the 2nd group of people though, the ones who are never happy are the ones innovating and providing the rest of us with cooler things although I believe everyone should appreciate everything regardless

I stopped into the att store today and played around with the one x they had in there. Man it was beautiful in white and in grey. The fit and finish is amazing and the screen is gorgeous... looks a bit better than my GSM nexus and the look of the device was nicer as well. Too bad the rest of the experience let me down. I don't know if it was sense or what but it wasn't nearly as snappy. I know its got more muscle but it hangs in spots for some reason and browsing on it sucked! What's the point in all that beauty and horsepower when the function of the phone doesn't respond in kind? I'd love for the next nexus to be a bit more pretty in design but this thing just works. The major failure in android so far is that manufacturer customization so far has mostly detracted from the function of the phone compared to stock. The galaxy nexus, in GSM form at least is still the high bar other android phones need to measure against. I love this phone. For that, I don't think I'll have a real choice in the future between a nexus and any others. Unless a non nexus gets true stock android there will probably be something letting it down. I think the one x or others could be as good or better overall than this phone if they had just included some phone specific apps to differenciate and left everything else stock and unlocked.
Before anyone says to just put on cm or other aosp on those other devices, unless they are unlocked and have drivers available, they tend to have things missing or unstable when going stock android.

It hit me the other day that I've actually had this phone for almost half a year. It still feels brand new to me, and I marvel at how fresh it still feels with minimal maintenance.
My GS1, Desire HD, and Focus never quite ticked all the boxes, and I had to jump through hoops to get them to operate how I wanted then to. My one and only wish is for the next Nexus to be Note-sized (I pretty much only read books on my phone now). That's not happening, so I'm as pleased with the Nexus as I'll ever be with a phone.

People buy these new phones with the intention of rooting and running a vanilla rom. We have it right outta the box. No limitations. Galaxy nexus is sonning all other phones. Screw hardware. That software...ftw

I'm going to miss everyone here, the ROMs, the kernels and the pureness!
Getting my Xperia Z in a few days, felt it was time for a change and the nexus models(4) I don't think seems good enough to be the next nexus device. I hope I can eventually find a combo on the Z as good as Xenon and trinity on the gnex!
Peace out

I know what you mean, there are two things I want in my next phone: bigger screen and bigger battery. The N4 is a definite pass for me.
Are you planning on selling the gnex? Or keeping it as a backup? Or installing Ubuntu?
I'm going to be moving on to a new device myself in the next couple months, been trying to decide what to do with this one.

Xperia Z looks like a great phone, I would def pass on the N4 since its not much of an improvement.
I have my eyes set on the new HTC one that was revealed today thou, either that or the next Note depending on how the UbuntuOs feels

Yessir I am, and you read my mind. I've been wanting that N2 bad, but I keep talking myself out of buying it now since I can get an upgrade in Sep. I have been keeping an eye on Craigslist though. I'm hoping by then I can get the N3, fingers crossed for 6" 1080 and a gargantuan battery.

All my family just got that new Apple so I guess I'm gonna keep my gnex, I don't think i can bring myself to sell it.

Not really, I have never received an ota, I've been flashing since the nexus s first came out, I'll get a new phone at the end of this year so hopefully there is another decent nexus by then. The only I'm anxious about is ROMs getting the bravia engine working and stuff like that.

TouchWiz devices usually start to lag after a new flagship comes out (the old one will be updated with a newer system but the features will quickly bog the phone down), e.g. Galaxy S3 with Android 4.2 and 4.3.

By the way, to anyone wondering which phone they should get?
Nothing compares to the Nexus 5.

Switching to T-Mobile and getting a Nexus 5 after work today. I can't wait.

I would love to switch to a Nexus 5 on T-Mobile. But from what I hear from other T-Mobile users in my area is the network coverage sucks. The people I work with have to go outside to make a call.

According to the coverage map, my area is pretty good. But isn't T-mobile going through some stuff to boost their network? I thought there was some news about them buying towers or something from Verizon. I can't remember. It can't be any worse than AT&T was in my area when I was on that.

Well it depends on your setup and eyes. But simple things like flicking around the home screen, scrolling in widgets lag on the note 3 but not on the nexus 5 if you put them side by side.
Then again the note 3 I seen might be a different variant from yours, which also probably comes with a different regional software too.
