Thanks Fred, just got me one. Took 20 minutes on my phone to do it, but I got it:D
[Off-topic] Mr.Mischief:
I really appreciate all the advice guys.

I can add this lesson to the list.

I lost $400 three years ago when I accidentally bought a stolen MacBook. I found the old owners info on there and it didn't match the guy who sold it to me. My parents gave me $200 for being honest.

I sold an iPhone 5 and an iPhone 2G to Russia and they were stolen in the mail. I refunded the buyers. That was $600.

This scam. I purchased an iPhone 5 and it was blacklisted. I called the guy and asked for a refund. He gave me fake bills. I buy a MacBook Air with that money and the seller calls me and tells me they are fake so I have to run out and give him another $400.

You guys might think I'm stupid or naive, but the first two incidents happened when I was 15 and 16.

I think about it like this: I started out with like $60. I have more than $60 to my name now, so it has been a success;)

I'm having a bit of a problem with my Note II. When I try to log in to my Samsung account, it asks me if I would like to link my Media Hub account and my Samsung account. I tap "OK", and it works for a moment and then goes back to asking my if I would like to link the accounts.

[Off-topic] ceredics:
I've used chrome and I enjoy it but mainly for the icon like Fred said. It is definitely a bit laggy.

I feel the exact same way. I'm on 4.2.1 stock on my Gnex and chrome wasn't the original browser. I believe that's for nexus 4 and nexus 10. Maybe nexus 7 but I'm not positive. Anyways it just needs a refreshed icon and I'd be happy. I don't enjoy chrome completely.

How much is a Razr I worth? It's the Intel powered GSM version of the Razr M.

[Off-topic] Mr.Mischief:
Yeah, there's one on Amazon for $375. I like everything about it except the pentile qHD screen.

[Off-topic] Product F(RED):
If you're coming from that Nexus S, yeah it's a pretty good choice. I think on the At&t version there's a way to go S-OFF and fully unlock the bootloader but the last update plugged that hole some in not sure. Anyways the One X runs AOSP well. The S3 also does (both the International and US versions).
[Off-topic] Product F(RED):
Oh if you want the International One X, then you're gonna have a pain in the ass flashing kernels and mods. The bootloader is (partially) locked. The Galaxy S3 has no bootloader security. I think for AOSP based ROMs the US versions are better because Snapdragons have better documentation than the Exynos in the i9300, but I have the i9300 and AOSP runs perfect on it. I'd rather have the quad core anyways but the dual core runs great and supposedly gives better battery.

I hear you on the Nexus 4. I didn't buy one for the same reason. If I were you, if you're not going to use LTE, I'd go for the T-Mobile version because it's pentaband. Or if you want more power I'd go for the I9300 (I'm assuming you're in At&t).
[Off-topic] adolfo778:
It was pretty easy for me to unlock the phone and flash ROMs. Its a great phone beast screen fast and fluid. I got better battery life on it then on my S3 and friends N4. Roms are a bit scarce compared to the S3 but there's some pretty good ones out there.

BTW I haven't seen you on CTO bro :p
[Off-topic] Product F(RED):
I'm on CTO; I just don't post much.
[Off-topic] Product F(RED):
Oh sorry, I was posting from my phone before and it doesn't show. Yeah I'd go for the S3 then. I also have the International version and it's friggin awesome. Amazing camera, amazing audio quality (because they went back to the Wolfson DAC, so you can do Voodoo audio like on your Nexus S), fast as hell, removable battery, and the ability to use a MicroSD card slot.

The One XL I believe you CAN S-OFF, though I'm not sure if that's specific to the AT&T version, and HTC plugs holes with every update. The One X you CANNOT S-OFF at all, unless you're lucky and happen to get one that ships S-OFF. The pain in the ass with the HTCDev unlock method is that you're still S-ON, but you can flash kernels and stuff, BUT you have to do it from a computer.

Save yourself the trouble and get the S3 if you want an experience similar to your Nexus S. I too was a Nexus S owner. Like I said, if you want AOSP or not, everything runs fantastic on the S3, and it's much faster than the One XL, plus those benefits above. No bootloader security (just like the Nexus devices), and you already know how to use ODIN and all the Samsung stuff. I'd go for the S3.
[Off-topic] Product F(RED):
Well in that case just go for the One X. I wouldn't sell my car for a phone lol.
[Off-topic] housry23:
Bro, if you want to have a phone that is unlocked and great development, get the Nexus 4. The 16gb of storage is not that bad plus you get free 50gb of storage from Box. That promotion ends soon though.

You have a Nexus S. So, you've lived with less storage this long. The S3 and one x are both great phones, but after using the Nexus, you will probably be disappointed.

This is just my opinion. I love the nexus 4. It's such a great phone. I've owned both of the other phones you're considering and always go back to the Nexus. I chose the galaxy nexus over both of those.
[Off-topic] ceredics:
I love my G Nexus
[Off-topic] cajunflavoredbob:
I agree with you. I wouldn't even consider a phone without removable storage. 16GB is NOT enough space, especially when you only have 11GB as usable space. My music collection that I keep with me is 34GB on its own. Then I have a ton of files for customer accounts, videos, and app storage. I used to carry two 32GB cards with me until I got my 64GB recently. Now I have about 8GB of free space on the card and 2GB free on internal storage on my Note2.

EDIT: The reason I carry so much with me is that my customers sometimes live way down the bayou, so coverage is sparse sometimes, making mobile data and cloud storage not even worth the hassle. Easier for me to just keep a butt load of music with me for the ride.
[Off-topic] housry23:
Yeah it's about 13gb. I rarely go under 8gb free. I would love removable storage and hopefully Google will include it in future nexus phones, but it's not a deal breaker for me and I have learned to adapt. To each there own and it's great we all have choices.

Maybe they're getting them straight from the manufacturers? I know that the first few digits tell the manufacturer date, the manufacturer, and some other info.

[Off-topic] housry23:
I usually buy every apps paid or pro version if it's an app I like or use often. Support the devs! They put a lot of hard work and time into developing apps for us. Besides, $1-$5 is not a big deal for an app that you will use often like a file explorer.

As far as file managers go, I use a great app called Rom Toolbox Pro. It's not free. It may however be 50% off right now. It is an amazing app! It's the best $5 I've ever spent on an app. It will replace many other apps that you probably already use if you are on XDA. The dev is amazing and quickly responds to emails, questions and bug reports. It has a file explorer with root ability, also it can replace many other apps like Titanium Backup, SetCPU(or other CPU managers), Kernel managing apps, a scripter, a terminal emulator, an ad blocker, rebooter with widgets, auto start manager, theme manager, build.prop editor, boot animation downloading and installing, Statusbar icon changer, Font installer....well, you get the picture. It really is worth every penny. I encourage all of you to at least try it for 15 minutes to see just how amazing it is. JRummy is the dev. He's here on XDA and very helpful and good at what he does,

[Off-topic] Product F(RED):
And I thought the $575 I paid for my i9300 after $100 discount was a lot. The most I'll ever pay for a phone is $500-50 and it has to be something that's gonna last. When I was on Sprint I was used to switching phones every few months or even weeks. But being back on GSM and having the freedom to use any device you want kind of forces you to appreciate what you gave more. I'll probably get rid of my S3 when the S4 or even S5 comes out but probably for nothing in between unless it's really breakthrough. Maybe the next Nexus. They really stepped it up with the Nexus 4; storage was the only issue for me.

[Off-topic] Product F(RED):
^That may only be temporary. I would call them and play dumb, demanding to know why your bill went up. When they tell you it's because of a data plan on a smartphone, tell them he's not using a smartphone. It's not branded as an AT&T device, so there is room for doubt. Just keep insisting. Play dumb and say it's some Samsung flip phone (part of an IMEI will tell you the manufacturer, so stick with Samsung to make it sound realistic). Keep pushing until they apologize and remove the charge.

It's all psychology. You're the customer.
[Off-topic] cajunflavoredbob:
It's strange that my mother and sister never had issues like that. Neither of them have a data plan, and are on AT&T. My mom used a HTC Titan II branded for AT&T for nearly six months. They never added any data plan to her account. I went into the settings and turned off mobile data, but nothing else. She's using a Samsung dumbphone with a slide out keyboard now, though.

My sister is using a T-Mobile SGS2 with no problem as well. I turned off mobile data for her as well in settings, but nothing else. She can't get MMS, but she uses another app for that I think.

I don't know why they target only certain people, but it might have to do with the mobile data feature being left on, so there might be some background data being transferred.
[Off-topic] Anthony04x:
They said it was automated and apologized and said the data plan came from the HTC freestyle, which is a dumb phone from att, I said he is using a Sammy flip phone and used it unlocked in Mexico.

They credited the account with $25 and gets to use his vibrant and play his pool game he likes so much. Thanks guys!

:) It's all mind games, really like I said lol. You give them the partial truth, which they can look up ("It's a Samsung phone" is true, "It's a flip phone" is not. You can look up the former but not the latter), so they become doubtful of themselves. Your situation is weird though because the HTC Freestyle doesn't even require a data plan to begin with as far as I know.
[Off-topic] Anthony04x:
Exactly, he was like sorry I'm not to familiar with the phone but the systems show it is a smartphone. I was like uhh..? The whole point of him having that phone was so he could have a touch screen non smart phone. He's just glad he can still play pool after I told him LOL
