Although it is a good deal but it's just too big, 4.65", and doesn't have a microSD card slot. I will have to think hard about this offer :) I guess the phone is not selling well and that's why Google has decided to lower the price.
[Member-Found Deals] fatttire:
I'm thinking pretty hard about it too. I've been on the fence about the gnexus but I don't like the pentile display. Still a sweet deal though.
[Member-Found Deals] addxyz:
I've been using a N1 and want to upgrade since I'm running out of RAM (200mb sucks big time). I was planning on waiting to see what the Samsung S3 will be, but then this offer came out. Obviously I'm already using pentile so I probably won't notice too much in terms of display going from N1 > Galaxy Nexus, and Galaxy Nexus is easily cheaper than any of the other non-pentile phones- S2 - ~$550, HTC One X ~ $675. Any regrets in getting the Galaxy Nexus?
[Member-Found Deals] lazaro17:
The display on the galaxy nexus is best I've used. I also came from a nexus one so you'll be blown away by the 720p screen. My only regret with this phone came today when google started selling it with a US warranty.

[Member-Found Deals] bloodydamnhell:
Pentile isn't an issue for a lot of people. I came from an N900, which has a nice 800x480 3.6" LCD screen. At the pixel density of the GN, I have no issues with text sharpness. The only thing to be concerned about is the apparently fairly large number of crappy screens Samsung is putting in them. Mine isn't noticeably bad, but there sure is a lot of talk from people who have gotten bad ones.

IMO, the only bad thing about it is that it's a Samsung. I have never been a fan, and the GN doesn't really change that. It's not bad, though, it's just not as good as what I'm used to from a certain other manufacturer who has famously decided to not move toward Android.

As far as size goes, I was pleasantly surprised. I expected it to be quite bulky with the large screen, but the thinness somehow manages to make it reasonably comfortable in the hand. Not to mention that it seemingly magically fits in my watch pocket.

Hahaha welcome aboard. So I guess we will be getting our bad boys on thursday? I went to Verizon today and bought a Incipio case
[Member-Found Deals] nitrox666:
I think Google prepares shipping its new tablet soon and this offering is just to get some experience on how to do it on a larger scale. Also rumors go that Google soon offers the GN to more countries.

They probably want to make sure it doesn't get as bad as with Nexus One ;-)

[Member-Found Deals] Herbie555:
Can anyone provide an honest cost/benefit analysis of a $400 Nexus or a $200 HTC One S (16gb)?

I'm very near my contract renewal/upgrade date for my postpaid T-Mo plan, so timing-wise, it's about a wash.

I'm running CM7 on an old HTC MT3GS (Espresso) right now, so I have experience with older Sense and the more-or-less stock Google experience (up to Gingerbread, at least). There was a lot to like about the old sense (and I miss a few things), but I much prefer to sacrifice those things and be skin-free if it means timely OS updates. (I waited for 15+ months for the "official" 2.2 update, for example.)

So given that - can someone give me the pros/cons of the Nexus vs. One S?
[Member-Found Deals] martonikaj:
Honestly if you're just trying to cut costs and have 2 lines, then T-Mobile's $49/line "unlimited" plan (- employer discounts) and 2 on-contract One S's for $199/ea is the best deal for your situation.

You can always take the upgrade to the One S, sell it and buy a Nexus if you really want the Nexus.
[Member-Found Deals] androidtoy09:
If you value timely updates then the GNexus is clear winner.

The One S is $200 (Subsidized). You're actually paying MORE than $400 over the course of 2 yrs for that phone.
[Member-Found Deals] @rbiter:
If you plan on sticking with T-Mobile I recommend trying to get the best deal on the esses and buy two gnex's with profit. The gnex is a damn good experience. And once you find a good radio, a damn good phone too.

[Member-Found Deals] decepticon:
You do realize that regardless of phone picked, there will be the monthly fees right?

That argument of cost WITH service is really pointless since you NEED service for your phone to work the way it's intended to.

I don't suppose anyone has gotten a shipping notification yet?
[Member-Found Deals] jakep_82:
You do realize that prepaid plans are are significantly cheaper than postpaid (contract) plans, right?

That $200 subsidized phone will actually cost you at least $800 if you stick around for the full 2 years.
[Member-Found Deals] fatttire:
Eh, only for Tmobile right? I've been looking at prepaid AT&T - which is a joke for data allowance; and then prepaid Verizon the costs seem about the same as a contract plan ($50 unlimited plan they advertise only works for non-smartphones)

I haven't looked into the regional carriers.
[Member-Found Deals] descendency:
Straight talk (45 a month) with either ATT or TMobile (your choice) coverage for unlimited talk, text, and "web" (throttling begins around 2GB and they claim you can't "stream" anything but I've never heard anyone getting kicked off for it). 3G/HSPA+ allowed. No LTE.
[Member-Found Deals] jup007:
Well, cheapest options on AT&T network with reasonable data allowance:

Postpaid AT&T w/ 3GB & 450 minutes - $70 (and you still pay for text)

Gophone w/250 minutes, ulimited text & 1GB of data - $50

Straight Talk (running on AT&T network, technically unlimited calls, txt and data) - $45/month

Just for comparison: Postpaid AT&T w/ 5GB & unlimited txt and calls - $140

With 24 month contract, $20 difference per month is around $500. And you're not locked into one provider which, for some, has huge value in itself.
[Member-Found Deals] BrianDigital:
hmmm

400 for unlock phone, and lets go tmobile data(thats what I have so 400(30*24)=1120

htc one x 200(after rebate) and a plan with data 80 a month 200(24*80) 2120

your whole agreement is flawed, if this is not your route then why bother complaining
[Member-Found Deals] adrynalyne:
Is that 30 a month with discounts? I honestly don't know.

You can't argue savings to someone else if you are including discounts they may not have.
[Member-Found Deals] descendency:
It's a 100 minute, unlimited texting, 5GB HSPA+ (unthrottled) data plan available to all.

------

Another benefit of this phone is that you can have both ATT and TMobile service (SIM swap) if you need it. Or If you move, you can easily switch to the other carrier if they have better service. Just a thought.

[Member-Found Deals] lchiu7:
My daughter has the NS on the $30 TMO pay as you go plan. It works well for her since she doesn't call much (we communicate normally using Vonage Mobile), would not get to 5G of data month and surprisingly would not get to 2500 texts/month either.

I don't think the 5G is a cap. I think it says beyond 5G it drops down to 3G speed which is all her phone can do anyway. But I might upgrade her to the GN so she can get HSPA+ since where she lives the DSL Internet is a bit slow and she can tether her phone for improved speed.
[Member-Found Deals] :
jeez...the value of this phone is going down each day...is it that bad? I think its just fine :confused:
[Member-Found Deals] BrianDigital:
That's with no discounts, so what was the point.
[Member-Found Deals] androidtoy09:
I can understand your disappointment but this is a good thing in the long run. Google is trying to show the carriers that subsidy model is flawed.

for too long people have been brainwashed to believe that these devices actually cost $500-$600..that's just insane!

[Member-Found Deals] nathan118:
That $200 htc one s will be worth $550 or so on ebay. Flip it and make roughly $300-350, and then your nexus costs less than your $200 htc one s.

I'm on an old grandfathered plan and don't mind renewing my contract, so that is my plan.

As for the phones...depends what you value.

Nexus Pros:

1) Higher Res Screen

2) Bigger Screen (though could be a negative)

3) Vanilla Android

4) Faster updates

5) NFC

One S Pros:

1) Faster cpu/gpu

2) Better Camera

3) 42mbps hspa+

For me personally, all three pros of the One S are marginal pros. The Nexus offers all the One S Pros to me, just slightly downgraded. The One S doesn't offer me any of the Nexus Pros.
[Member-Found Deals] Ravynmagi:
Another Galaxy Nexus pro for me is the removable battery too. Don't need it much, but on the rare occasion I do (because I forgot to charge it), having the spare is a lifesaver.

hey, I pretty much have been thinking about getting this to use for hotspot purposes, development, and maybe even a backup/go to global device.

I see tmobile has a 100 min with unl txt and 5 gb data for 30 bucks

and then there is straight talk that has unl everything for 45 bucks.

ATT over all have better coverage (i wouldn't really be using it for calls just data and development) but whats this I hear about Straight talk only being 2gb of data and you can't stream? Is that true?

is it true you can only do the 30 dollar 100 min with unl txt and data for Tmobile online? I look on their site and they only offer normal sized sim cards, don't want to go through the hassle of cutting up sim cards. Is there a way to do the micro sim for prepay? when I look on prepaid it has no option for micro sim
[Member-Found Deals] farrock02:
The Galaxy Nexus has a full size SIM card
[Member-Found Deals] bobsbbq:
Yes this plan can only be done online. But why do you want to cut up a SIM card? The GSM nexus takes a full size sim card.

Will google let you exchange the phone if you get a poor screen? Sucks that they have a 15% restocking fee.
[Member-Found Deals] ra990:
That's my only concern, because the GNEX I have now (which I just got from Amazon) has a perfect screen but it's imported and hence no warranty. If the one I get from Google has a bad screen, I think I'd rather keep the one from Amazon. Just keeping my fingers crossed because from my experience and what I've read, it really is pure luck as far as screen quality goes on the GNEX.
[Member-Found Deals] lazaro17:
Maybe samsung would? Also is anyone still getting poor screens? I thought they would figure that out by now with the later builds. My first nexus had the issue but my last two were built this year and had nice screens.

AFAIK the warranty is covered by Samsung so those would be the ones to talk to. Let's keep those fingers crossed.

Well it's going down in the US markets. I'm sure overseas it's still selling for $450-$500. Gotta remember the GSM version has pretty much reached it's 6 month shelf life span. Eventhough it's a Nexus device I assume all Android devices will follow the market trend. Sucks but it's a fact. LTE Nexus was $299.99 on contract, now it's $199.99 to compete with Sprint.
[Member-Found Deals] Aerials:
I'm kind of considering getting this as a backup/ toy kind of phone. At first, it reminded me that it's only 16GB internal storage total, but I figure if it's only gonna be used for those circumstances, it shouldn't matter much at all.

But main problem is that I decided to renew my at&t contract about 1 month ago with the Note. Could possibly be the worst mistake I've made in the past few years...

And, I already have 3 other backup phones sitting around doing nothing,, so this makes it trickier too.

Is there more than one model of GSM Galaxy Nexus?

I imagine that the $399 offer will drive down the price on the used market on EBAY, and I'm wondering if all the GSM Galaxy Nexus are identical. I know there are differences between other Samsung manufactured units meant for the European market when compared with the US carrier versions. For example some European models have FM radios and US versions don't.
