So I currently have a Black E4GT.
I'm trading a guy this weekend for his iPhone 4s 32gb White.
I'm only doing this because I'm upgrade eligible end of the month (3/31/12).
I'm planning on upgrading to the White E4GT (I like white, had too much black phones), then selling the iPhone 4s I traded for on eBay for like $500~
OR should I wait for that Galaxy Nexus (I don't care for expandable storage) or supposed Galaxy Journal (CDMA version of Note), problem I know is, longer I wait, the more value the iPhone 4s will lose, and I really really hate iOS, I'm only doing this to make a couple hundred on the side, and that White E4GT is so nice looking haha.
As much as I hate to say it, the iphone will probably hold it's value more than a e4gt, especially a 32 GB. I'm so glad my upgrade comes in November, hopefully the Galaxy 3 is out by then, and maybe I can pull some iphone 5 trading shenanigans for some extra $. One can hope.

Wait a second... You have a black E4GT and you want to waste your upgrade just to get a white one? What the hell is wrong with you?

I got MAJOR problems! Lmao. Yeah the trade for the iPhone 4s is solid, cuz as previously mentioned, the iPhones for some reason are shenanigans expensive used on eBay with clean ESNs.
I just hate iOS and there is nothing to upgrade to come April 1st, and I'm sure Galaxy S III or Nexus won't be out by then... Maybe I will just deal with iOS for a couple months.
id normally say no point in waiting as there is always something new on the horizon, but doing all of that just to get the white one seems pretty insane. And i thought I was bad with gadget swapping and selling lol

I don't see how the Nexus would be worth moving to from the E4GT. The ONLY thing you are gaining is a native pure Android experience... which you can duplicate with CM9 on the E4GT. Hardware-wise, there's no advantage over what you have now.
In fact, I'd be nervous about any phone without external storage to send backups to. If you brick your phone and your nanadroid is on the internal storage, you're screwed.

I'd rather have a nexus for numerous reasons (mostly development) but it isn't even close to being worth what one would end up paying to switch from an et4g

True. But its like I could sell the iPhone 4s on eBay for like 550.
Then if I bought a Epic (white or black regardless), off contract, they usually go for like 300-350 locally. Reducing profit to 200~ lol.
And I think if I hold on to the 4s, it would either lose value when the 5 gets released, or I'd gouge out my eyes from staring at that small crap screen and 4x4 squares O_O
Eh, decisions decisions lol.

i just had to do it lol .. not bad at all imo
You switched? I said I wasn't thinking about it..but now I am.
My phone pissed me all the way off today. Unplug from 10am at 99%...at 2pm I'm at 25%. 25!!!!!! And from 10am to 2pm, I was in my class for an hour and didn't even touch my phone. That's basically 4 ****in hours. 4! I'm still pissed. I've been pissed all day. Let me know how that phone is.
Edit: And you'll probably get flamed for this. People might come in and be like "THE EFF THIS GOTTA DO WITH THE E4GT!!" and this will probably get closed...if it does, pm me. I really want to know about the iPhone
Don't give two ****s about the iPhone. Enjoy being a sheep. And imo, you're trolling.
im loving this phone so far i got the 32 gig i have had all the top sprint phone 3d , photon, and the epic touch ......only thing i miss from my epic is the screen size ... so far speed very fast. better cam better screen i will update on batter life later
Not me. But, I know my daughter wants one. I will do it once the prices drop on Ebay for a clean ESN one off contract. I myself will NEVER own APPLE. It amazes me how people hated M$ years ago and now Apple is doing the same and it's ok. But to each his own. Hope it treats you well. My sister loved hers.
i am a fan of tech, not companies. If an apple product fit my needs from a phone standpoint, i would make the switch no questions. Right now, ET4G is what i am digging, but if you get what you need with an iphone great!
Will you ask siri why we have los

That is the way I also think.....I would switch if the 4s came out with a 4.0-4.5 screen, had a 4g radio would be even better if it had SuperAmoled. Right now it would be a downgrade for me on what I want out of a phone.
if it had 4.3" screen and wimax, I would have bought one
but for now, especially since its off contract, and id need at least 32gb.....who has $749 for a phone lol
Ill wait for the iphone 5 LTE version I guess
What a mistake
Just got my iphone 4s in the mail today and i regret it already after 5 hours,this os is so lame and boring theres nothing to it got to spoiled on android with customizing everything,not much different from when i had the very first iphone.forgot about no flash too wtf was i thinking listening to all these paid off reviewers that always give it over rated reviews and the pics are good but not as good i dont care what anyone says.pics i have take with my epic 4g touch are cleaner,brighter,sharper and better even when compared on my desktop,even with the random minor issues my 4g touch had it is still better by far.every issue could but fix with updates that should be around the corner.iphone 4s is a mistake and waste of money unless u like no flash or sd slot or just dont like doing cool things to the appearance of your phone,very plan os.selling on ebay tonight already reconnected my epic 4g touch,now i will never leave android.
you have been warned!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did the opposite 4 weeks ago, went from iphone on att to epic 4g touch. Happy that I did for many of the same reasons listed above, also the screen size, camera quality, etc..

Hi guys, I have a couple of offers that I can't deciding. First off my phone is literally brand new. Just take it out to root it and flash the cwr. I put my ad up to trade the Galaxy s2. And I've two offer one is the AT&T galaxy s2 +50 and sensation +150. I don't use tmobile data only wifi, can someone tell me should I do this? I thought it a good trade but kinda hesitant. Which one is the better trade?
what are you trying to do?
what do you want to get next?
Hi thanks for replying, I'm thinking about getting the iphone 4 unlock and keeping the extra cash. For some reason my GS2 is not as smooth as I would like. But I really like my gs2. I think once we have a very good custom ROM I think the phone would run better. But I afraid by then the value would decrease. I also receive another offer for and iphone 4 and 50 dollars. I think that's a bad deal. Considering I already spend 50 dollars for the case and screen protector.
eerrrrhhhhh.... then you should just accept the deal for the iphone 4 if that's what you wanted
and don't waste time trading it with other phones, which are even harder to get rid off
I wanted to trade mines for an att gs2, but being stuck on edge is a no go. Anywho, an iPhone will suit you well.
just my opinion id rather go back to my vibrant before the iphone 4...
LOL thanks for replying everybody. I still don't know what I'm gonna do. But the GS2 is one of the most stable phone I have use. The reason I want to trade for an Iphone because I have at least 400 apps I previously download or bought. and I like to use offline GPS.

If you had all this money tied up in iphone apps and stuff why did you get a GS2 in the first place.not flaming just a question
just trade it in for an iphone 4. i think thats a good deal if the iphone is in mint or near mint condition.
also - there are plenty of offline gps apps for android. im using Navigon now, and have used co-pilot in the past.

Agreed definitely a downgrade
idk if u guys already saw this but they have the device advertised on sprints web site now along with another lte phone. Galaxy Nexus coming with 16 GB internal storage only? Seems a bit suckish to me since i have lots of apps vids etc. i think im sticking with my E4GT. in my op its the best phone right now.
http://www.sprint.com/landings/lte/index.html?INTCID=AB:UEU:HERO:010912:GalaxyNexusPrelaunch:960x320
oops just found out we had another thread about this haha. o well lets change the question. what do u guys think is better? E4GT or Galaxy Nexus?
I think the specs for e4gt is better, but I wouldn't mind getting the nexus cost its Google dev phone
Seeing as some of my pet peeves about the NS4G (which i still have as a backup) still made it into the GNexus (low speaker/ringtone/all around volume, 16GB Sprint version [why not 32GB ] etc), i'm not that enthused.
ICS on the NS4G hasn't been all that jazz as well, really not impressed, but it's on much weaker hardware so i can understand.
My Epic Touch on Blazer ROM is flyyying like an eagle and it's great with more than a day of battery life with regular use. Found a deal on a 32GB microSD card the other day for $30...

we can either have Nexus phone and ICS and no 4g or we can have E4TG and 4g and no ICS. By the time E4TG will have ICS, nexus guys will be porting JB...:-
)..unless the new phones ( all at CES) and update speeds (aka asus and htc) makes samsung feel that they might lose number one position...
Edit: I think I will pass Nexus and wait and see is asus padphone comes to sprint. My Tranformer is getting ICS tomorrow..I know they will be updating phones as fast too...
I'm gonna buy a Nexus from Sprint at retail and keep my E4GT hooked up for a bit. That way I still have 4G and can tinker (root/ROM) the Nexus... and when LTE is in Wash DC I can switch to the Nexus. Either way it will be nice to have both devices

Sprint will want lte version on board to stay competitive, It will drop in August / September.
Anyway current GS2 beats GN in performance and specs except for display.
No need for me to waste upgrade on it.
My next phone will either be the nexus or the iPhone 5. If the nexus drops before summer, I will get it, if not it will be too dated to buy new and I will get the iPhone in the fall when the next one comes out. I am just sick of worrying about OS updates.

Well atleast good 3g but lte would be nice too. There will multiple thousands of people that got the ET3g that will wait for there 2year upgrade. I mean might as well as well get my moneys worth out of this phone. Its not like whe. 2013 role around this phone wont even. Be. Obsolete except the 4g which i dont have here anyway. No phobes will be scroling faster and apps wont be opening much faster. New phones may ha e bettter battery life but not by much, ill ha e ICE within 6 months as a bonus. All new phonea screens will be 720 but at 160 density i can wait. Hell there will still be choke people on pbones way below this one in 2013 still.

Samsung is the worst, the only reason I keep coming back is because of camera as well as the screen. HTC phones are just average to me, and sense is too much of a hog. Samsung processors are fast, devices are smooth. It's just that software team blows, we never get updates, and half of them break more things.

Who is better right now at updates?
Just hoping to get some thoughts for or against the note 2 in regards to the press release regarding the nexus 4 with very similar specs going to sell for $350 out of contract.
I have to say my mind was blown, to have official updates as they roll out, and being able to have a large library of roms to choose from is a major selling point for me.
Looking to possibly keep the note 2, but I really am on the edge of my seat... thoughts about nexus 4/note 2 would be greatly appreciated.
I paid the same as you and I have no regrets. The Nexus looks to be an awesome device but the Note 2 is in its own category - are you forgetting that? And do I have to remind you about our amazing 5.5" RGB screen? I repeat, no regrets! I frickin love this thing.
Great specs and price on the nexus 4. I thought it would run about $450 at least for the phone with those specs.
I haven't got my note 2 yet but I am seriously considering getting the nexus 4 instead.

It is a beautiful screen, cant deny that Im just having trouble digesting the fact I could buy both the tablet and the phone for under $700... I could even eat the $50 restocking fee and still afford both... :/
Does anyone know where the cost are going?
Are devs jumping on the Equinos bandwagon?
I am thinking about the same thing. I love the screen and size, but I am not a fan of the smooth back. It feels like I am about to drop it bc its so slippery. I feel as if I am holding a priced possession rather than a phone. I have noticed myself being extra careful bc of the back and I don't want that. I wish the back had some kind of traction for grip. I am seriously thinking about returning this and buying a Nexus 4. And don't forget we can get a Nexus 4 and a Nexus 10 for what we paid for note 2.

I dont mind sticking with the note 2, but the true multi-tasking feature has not even been released yet (patiently waiting for samsung to update, never done that before)..... and that was kind of a huge setback for me.

It is a beautiful screen, cant deny that Im just having trouble digesting the fact I could buy both the tablet and the phone for under $700... I could even eat the $50 restocking fee and still afford both... :/
Does anyone know where the cost are going?
Are devs jumping on the Equinos bandwagon?

Yes, you can buy both devices for less than $700 but then of course you have two devices. If that does not matter to you, I say go for it. I sold my iPad and GS3 to downsize to a single device. So far I am loving it.
btw IF I do decide to return the note 2, I am sure as hell going to miss the pop out video player. I am in love with that.
LG... lol after my g2x I learned my lesson. No thanks. Even if they paid me

I'm thinking about returning my note 2 too. I believe it's 30 days if you buy it at full price.... Could be wrong though

I bought it off-contract as well, at full price, but I still think it's only 14 days.
The S-Pen should be a major factor when buying a Note 2. If you are simply using it as a phone or web browser, I think your original purchase of a Note was the problem. If you paid $700 for a product that will help you be more productive, then it's money well spent. If you paid $700 for a toy... not sure what that makes your money, just know it's not well spent.
Notes are productivity investments, tis why the Note 1 still sells for well over $500 new. If you define the word "need" for yourself, you will never have to worry. (side note, the current Nexus can't be beat when it comes to Dev support, and it's cheaper still... so there's that)
I'm actually very surprised at the high amount of people from this forum, that jumped so fast on the note 2 before Google announced what they were bringing out. ( official specs, not speculation)
The question is..... Is removable memory, bigger screen, spen, worth double, not to mention the wireless charging?
I have a g tab 2.7, and like Samsung.
I do miss the amoled screen of my N1 though.

I just wish I could buy a Nexus type back cover. Something with a little grip. I don't use/need cases, just need a back cover with grip. Is that too much to ask? lol

I bought my note2 not only for the screen and specs but more important is the stylus. if not for the stylus I would go for the One X+

Just wonder if there are any other Verizon subscribers looking to get the Droid DNA. I know I am. 1080 screen, 2gb RAM, quad core, better camera - SOLD

Depends. If it has an unlockable bootloader through HTC's dev program, it's on my radar. If not, nope - no hardware in the world can make me use Sense and not get updates from Google.
Also, since I just got my VZW Gnex at launch last year, the phone would cost me $600 out of pocket - so it very well could be cheaper to get a Nexus 4, pay my ETF fee, and go to T-mobile with their $30 / mo plan.
Or.. I'll just tolerate my not-a-nexus for another year. We'll see.

You know, I didnt even think about the bootloader. I'll have to check back in on that. I don't care if its factory locked so long as Devs can work around it.
I too have to figure out how to overcome not being eligible, but where there is a will there is a way. Figured it out before and I'll figure it out again.
But yeah, sense, it's a bit outdated anymore
If I can afford to stay on Verizon I'm totally getting one.

Actually looks good, and I do like HTC. However, I really don't need a bigger phone and the battery is a little small for the size of screen and processor. Sadly with Verizon's new pricing I will likely be going to sprint or T-Mobile. I can't afford another $40 a month ($960) for less data than I use now AND pay $200 for an on contract phone. I love their 4g, but that is just ridiculous.

Deadmau5!!! Love the sig, seen him 5x I believe. Great artist, but not the best to see live IMHO. Sorry for the interruption, back to your regularly scheduled program
Looked at it, and it is nice, but it's just so hard to think about leaving AOSP. I still love my nexus and will probably hold onto it until it stops being supported lol.
And Deadmau5...:thumbdown: Lol. Its the same 45 seconds looped over for 4 minutes lol. ALL OF HIS SONGS. Ahhh there's so much better music in the genre.
I was seriously considering getting one because I have an upgrade on my plan and I'm getting antsy after a year haha. But then I saw the battery is only 2050mah for a 5" 1080p quadcore phone. Its battery is most likely going to be horrific. Now I'm either considering the Galaxy S3 or just waiting until after the holidays and seeing what new phones come.

Agreed for his shows, his transitions are waaaay too long and boring. Disagree for songs in general. He is one of the few with amazing musical talent compared to some who throw $hit at the wall and see what sticks. Have you heard Strobe? One of my all time favs

Yeah, good point. I had the Thunderbolt and boy was that a battery hog. And at least it had a removable battery. Maybe I should see what the first wave of people have to say.
Suddenly a wild mau5thread appears.

Even if the DNA has an unlockable bootloader, I would still be leaning towards the Galaxy Note II.
+1 for Deadmau5
If I'm not mistaken, the DNA does not have removable storage and only has about 11gb of usable space. That will be a big turn off for folks who enjoy having multiple roms, music and such. That's a shame that a phone with such good specs and hardware would be handicapped with out removable storage.
Just saw that the DNA is coming with the amazon ecosystem integrated. I'm guessing it's gong to be like a kindle phone now. Huge pass!

16GB of storage and no SD slot is way too small for me. I'll wait til the next nexus.
Sorry for off topic, but Strobe is like THE only exception. Even though it is sooooo old and played out lol. Listen to Moar Ghosts n Stuff. Take the first 45 seconds of the song. Loop it. Now compare to how he released it. If you loop at the right time, it's exactly the same. XD. Same can be said for 99% of his songs. Seriously, have a listen. Idk lol to me Deadmau5 is the Apple of the electronic music world. In the sense that it's ALWAYS the EXACT same thing over & over. Nothing changes, just a tweak here and there. Like Apple, he had a good run back in the day, but there are currently much, much better options. Besides, I thought only 15 year old sluts rolling on molly listened to deadmau5..?
Oh and I didn't realize the storage was so low. Definitely not getting it now. I'll just keep this then.
