I didn't have the full contract upgrade, but when they saw that I was a Sprint customer for 9 years, they said I can still get it for the $199 price ;)

stuff like that is why I have been with Sprint for 9 years.

And because they are so cheap! :D

Alright, I've made up my mind. I'm getting a nexus on the 8th but keeping my evo 3d pre order. If I love the nexus, I'll cancel the evo and vice versa.

Tapa tapa tapa
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
no but i guarantee it will be rooted by launch date. custom roms will follow soon as well.
[EVO 4G General] Justin.G11:
All google experience phones ship unlocked. It won't even be a factor.
[EVO 4G General] Light0508:
I definitely gonna wait for the Evo 3D and see how that goes.
[EVO 4G General] JDM Civic EG8:
I might be switching the Evo is cool but I want to play around with the Nexus. Ill probably end up buying a Evo from online to play around just in case I don't end up liking the Nexus.

[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
This. I've seen so many people question this I have begun to wonder if I've missed something suggesting otherwise. Not sure why it'd be any different this time around.

Couldn't and shouldn't be any easier than the original command.
[EVO 4G General] StormCell:
And you do?
[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
He might not, but you clearly have less of an idea than he does.

Barring some delay in production materials, it makes little sense to release the EVO 3D so late, not to mention that historically, Sprint has always released a 'top tier' phone around Summer, particularly around June.

It was the EVO last year, the Palm Pre the previous year, and the Instinct before that.
[EVO 4G General] :
Did Samsung ever fix the GPS?
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
This was more of an issue with the GS devices, not the Nexus S.
[EVO 4G General] bobdude5:
Go to a verizon store and compare the screens on the thunderbolt and fascinate. Colors look awesome on the thunderbolt, on par with the galaxy s. The evo 3d will have better color quality and a higher resolution.

The screen on the evo 3d will still be 4.3 inches but narrower. All the online blogs say its much more pocketable.

The battery is going to be a 1750 mah.

Build quality is definitely going to be much better on the evo. I made the switch to the epic 4g from the evo and i lived with it since april. I missed the evo so much.

What am i sayinging lol..you want a smaller phone and the evo 3d isnt out and there isnt a release date. Get the nexus s lol. I just really dislike samsung after owning the epic for 6 months
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
ill be purchasing mine today from best buy. cannot wait to pick this bad boy up.
[EVO 4G General] LoveisPeace2012:
I will be buying one too! As long as I can sell my evo on craigslist.

Can't wait for Ice cream to drop on this sleek black piece of obsidian!
[EVO 4G General] alaman68:
why no dual core?

down to 5mp camera

not 1080 video

Seems like a step back to me. Could just go get a captivate on AT&T for a lot less. I think I want this phone, just gonna have to follow you guys in a different forum before i make my mind up:confused:
[EVO 4G General] rushco:
Pros outweigh the cons with this phone for the people buying it.

Dual core - not needed at this time

5mp camera - hardly that big of a difference for most people

1080 video on a 4inch screen or 1080 on my 46inch tv

Get updates straight from Google

Better GPU

Curved screen and smaller which is better for some

NFC

People always wanted a Google phone
[EVO 4G General] alaman68:
1080 recording so i can burn dvds and send to family and friends. Basically just me flexing in front of mirror, so i need the better definition for large tvs.

I'll probably get one after it's easily rootble and ROMs available.
[EVO 4G General] wfrandy:
While it would be cool to have a Google phone, after a lot of experience with my wife's Samsung Captivate, you could not give me another Samsung phone.

On her Captivate, it is true that the screen is bright, but I don't care for it, colors just don't look realistic to me. The GPS does not work worth a darn (true for any Samsung phone that I have seen so far). And worst of all, the battery life is worse than my Evo, which I didn't think would be possible with a phone with a smaller screen.
[EVO 4G General] snandlal:
What number are you on the waiting list??
[EVO 4G General] midaseris:
Count me in, I'll be picking up one of these off contract on the 8th. I love my evo, but I'm tired of compromise. You compromise battery life for reliability, reliability for battery life. Lack of GPS, GPS work around, fix for this, fix for that. The dev community is awesome and I will miss that aspect and appreciate the hard work, but, to have a fully functioning stock android phone w/o the need to flash ROMS and compromise on functionality is highly appealing to me.
[EVO 4G General] LoveisPeace2012:
You obviously don't know what your talking about
[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
Your forgetting one key thing.....samsung is not in charge of this phone.
[EVO 4G General] 27s:
The Motorola Xoom and the blackberry Playbook are also releasing on the 8th of may.
[EVO 4G General] ECrispy:
I use a Samsung Focus WP7 phone for work, I don't have anything bad to say about it. But its mild use, so I don't understand why everyone seems to hate Samsung phones.

To me, the Nexus S is not worth it -

- smaller screen. Evo pioneered the 4.3" phone and anything smaller is too small

- no storage expansion

- don't care about frequent updates. Who runs their phone stock anyway ?!

- buying a single core phone for the next 2 years for $200 is just madness IMO. dual cores should run faster and use less battery if done properly

And maybe the biggest reason - my Evo works perfectly! So I don't have to make compromises.
[EVO 4G General] Brutus2TheMax:
Will the 1750mah battery be enough though for a beast of a phone though? I understand what you're saying and I love hearing other opinions but you can't look at the Nexus S as a Samsung phone but rather a Google phone. People I know that have a Nexus S say build quality is good and comfy in hands. No creaks when squeezing.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Indeed. Part of the draw is the pure Google experience. The phone is still a solid device and could last certain individuals for a couple years. For those that upgrade every year, it's a more than legitimate step up. The plastic feel is subjective, and I'm not necessarily a fan, but the Nexus S feels really nice in the hands. At times I've wished my Evo was just a bit smaller, and while I love the big display and the bigger phones, the Nexus S feels like the perfect size and shape.

It's all personal preference, and if it's only going to be for a year I could understand why some would opt for the NS. I'm just steering clear of any 3D branding for as long as possible. Hopefully there is another formidable dual core phone coming to Sprint at the end of the year / this time next year.
[EVO 4G General] Brutus2TheMax:
True that. I don't like the whole 3D thing. If it was coming without 3D and without Sense I'd probably get it. The only time I've ever run Sense is when my EVO was stock. I like bone stock elements and the fact that it's a "Google" phone really turns me onto it. I'll be happy for a year at least with it. I'll have Ice Cream before any other phone and until Sprint comes out with another dual core phone or if Google releases a dual core Nexus, I'll be happy with my NS4G.
[EVO 4G General] Ryjabo:
If it's only $399 retail I'll probably get one, but I expect it to be in the neighborhood of $550

EDIT: Yeah, it will be. $399 is only the two-year price.

EDIT2: Where is ii treated ii when you need him? He needs to... call his "agent"... so we can get the exact (for real this time) details...

:D
[EVO 4G General] StormCell:
It won't be June, my friend, and I'll be happy to place a little wager on that.
[EVO 4G General] StormCell:
Now, that's funny!
[EVO 4G General] rushco:
$199.99 after $200 instant savings. Requires an eligible upgrade or new line. If you are not eligible you don't get the $200 instant savings for a total price of $399.99. I have a hard time believing $550. No license fee and no keyboard. The epic is $499.99. Echo is $449 with 2 screens. Makes more sense to put it in the $399 - $449 range.

iitreatedii is busy cleaning up his online history that people dug up. Some of the pages are 404 now.
[EVO 4G General] ECrispy:
I have a friend at Google who has an Evo and also has the Nexus S, and he claims the battery easily lasts 2 days with normal use.
[EVO 4G General] Ryjabo:
http://now.sprint.com/nexus/?ECID=vanity:nexus

$399 is the two-year price, which means you'd get it for upgrade/renewal or a new signup. That's all I know for sure. I do hope you're right though. I paid about $560 for my first Nexus One back in the day. I'd love to sell my EVO and get the Nexus S 4G if it's only $400.
[EVO 4G General] rushco:
I just compared it to the Echo page

Nexus S 4g

$549.99 retail

$399.99 two-year price

$200.00 instant savings

$199.99 final price

Echo

$449.99 retail

$299.99 two-year price

$100 mail in rebate

$199.99

So I think in the end $549.99 seems like the correct price.
[EVO 4G General] r916:
Getting it, giving my gf my evo, if I don't like the NS I'm giving it to the gf and getting my baby back.:)
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
the full price at best buy i believe is over $600. it's $199 out the door with a full upgrade... thank god i got my upgrade back.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
there is no number, the phone isn't going to sell out anyways. as we get close to the launch date ill buy it online then go pick it up on the 8th.
[EVO 4G General] bobdude5:
For your battery question, yes I think it should. I remember reading they have this CPU adjustment method that helps a lot with battery life..I think lol ..as for sense I love it, buuttt you can't argue with fast updates but the 3d comes with the latest gingerbread and im 100% sure were going to see a cm8 with ice cream on the it.

3d can be turned off. I really recommend waiting till after Google io to get the nexus s just in case they announce a nexus 2 or something because the nexus s is essentially a year old galaxy s with a weaker camera sensor and nfc. Better to get a dualcore phone which will be awesome for about a 2 years
[EVO 4G General] MarkGbe:
if the nexus S was made my HTC & dual core, i would have went for it. I'll wait for the Evo 3D.
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
im right here, i already told you the scoop, she said that it was delayed like others mentioned and if i wanted it to go order it from best buy as it would be my best bet. It is coming out from sprint on the 8th. She was on vacation from the 15 to the 25th? i believe and responded to me with an email a few days ago to update me on the info, i didn't go anywhere...

Instant support. What happens when Android gets HW acceleration for the PowerVR SGX 545 in the Nexus S. You can't just port that to the EVO or any other phone. Its all about having a fully working Android release on day 1. It took CM how long after release to get a stable fully working EVO 2.3 ROM? 5 months? And it's still not perfect.

[EVO 4G General] derekwilkinson:
That's the best part about it... and why I might be getting one..
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Here's the fact. The Nexus S had a fully working build of 2.3 since December, CM7 hasn't been fully functioning until this past week and even then there's still bugs and GPS is stilly flaky for some. The instant updates of fully working upgrades is what makes the Nexus S appealing. You're just a troll in this thread that wants to degrade the Nexus S.

Good news for you all that are getting it: Sprint is extending their instant rebate deal till June 4th, or in other words right before the 3d releases.
[EVO 4G General] wild1z:
I came from the Sprint Hero about a month ago. Love the size of the Hero but just wanted something a little bigger. So I bought my EVO off contract to see if I would like the phone. I do "like" the EVO, but I don't luv it. Sort of like your Ex-gf, sex was awesome but you didn't exactly "luv" the rest. ;)

If you have experience with the Hero forum on xda and still see how those devs are still hanging in there to crank out updates, you can't help but to admire and follow those guys to their next new phone which I anticipate will be the Nexus S 4G.

For me is form over extra-function. Not too worried about the dual-cores or 3D. Luv the curve I guess. ;)

That statement is my dilemma, I am tired of waiting and finding roms and dealing with quirks on my EVO. I just want stock android that is updated even though I like my EVO and the kickstand.
[EVO 4G General] PLESTIUC:
Nexus S looks ugly, imo, and plus it's not a real step up from the EVO. not worth the trouble.

Plus, anything smaller then 4.3" in screen size at this point is just way too small (to use the words of another very smart person that posted before me)

Oh yeah, did I metion, I absolutely LOVE my rooted EVO?
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Compare the Nexus S to the LG 2X, not that different aside from the dual core CPU which you'll never notice when running apps. GPU are somewhat comparable, same RAM, Nexus S has the better display, etc.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
I think I'll actually pass on the Nexus for now and wait to see:

1) If the EVO 3D has an encrypted bootloader. If so, I will not be buying it.

2) If the Galaxy S2 will be a bar phone or will it have a keybord. If the former, this will likely be my next phone.
[EVO 4G General] alexisprz:
The nexus may be outdated but I checked on some benchmark comparisons in the web and it shows that the cpu and gpu still keep up and even in some instances best the tetra 2's.

"Finally, there's been a bit of speculation that this will be the next Nexus phone. While that's possible, and the time frame fits, I think it's way to early for anyone to be jumping to those conclusions. But if it is, and has a similar curvaceous unibody design, tell me who to throw my money at now please."
[EVO 4G General] Brutus2TheMax:
Very hesitant to do this before I get my hands on one. It's 2mm thicker than the T-Mobile Nexus S. The original Nexus S's were made with SuperAmoled screens and Super LCD screens. There actually is a size difference of I think 1-3mm (I can't remember) but people are having trouble finding cases that fit the difference. What I'm saying is I'm going to wait to buy cases and things of that nature after I've had it for about a week or two to see if anything comes out specifically for the NS4G. Besides that, I can't wait to take that stock screen protector off and see that GORGEOUS screen. :)
