I'd put it on a lot sooner than the day it comes out if you want to get better money for it.

Definitely will be intersting to see how what its like, though. But I agree in waiting for the dual-core 4g phones to start rolling out.
[Epic 4G General] flopez76:
People that say the Nexus is out of date, there is new phones coming out all the time with new & better technology.

So the reason I want the Nexus iS because it's a Google developer phone, which SHOULD mean tons of developers, tons of developers = a new phone with every ROM & kernel, and that equals happiness for the need inside me (:

Yeah I'm also not very happy with the none removal SD card..I don't take my SD card out often but when I do it makes a difference...

That said I welcome the Nexus S 4g..our Epics are different compared to the other Galaxy S phones.. mostly in the Qualcomm motherboard that offers the Radio, Bluetooth and wifi package..the Nexus S 4g will most likely be similar in that respect..aka more developer benefits for the Epic :)
[Epic 4G General] brewdude:
Just curious how one gets "unlimited updates"? Work for Sprint?
[Epic 4G General] Khemul:
I'd have to agree with this.

It may get updates faster, but considering there are major hardware items that set it apart from other Android phones, it may not get the standard near-instant update people seem to expect out of the Nexus name.

This seems like a bigger deal for the development community really, since porting it's updates to the Epic should be easier.

Personally I can't really see spending the extra money for it unless you already have an upgrade coming up.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
If sprint gets a nexus s 4g developers phone and google will push the latest updates to your phone rather then wait for bloat filled sprint stuff...
[Epic 4G General] cary328is:
I might get it because:

1. It has gingerbread

2. Might be updated more frequently

3. It's slimmer than the epic/no kb

I most likely won't because:

1. Same CPU/GPU as Epic

2. No SD card expansion

3. No DLNA

4. Same screen as Epic

5. Samsung Galaxy S2 is coming with updated hardware
[Epic 4G General] dzl:
meh...I'm pretty happy with the epic, especially now with Syndicate Fozen, and CM7 being worked on...keyboard for ease of SSH'ing...gorgeous screen w/ a badass GPU and overclocked CPU...

I'm good thx!
[Epic 4G General] tony45x220:
I have a VERY bad feeling that the hardware keyboard is going to be phased out of smartphones completely...id say with some confidence that at LEAST half the people who own an Epic have it because of the physical keyboard I typed this very response on...if Gingerbread comes to the epic or a gingerbread CM7 port...idc what comes out this is a highly capable device at least till the end of 2011...who know what we'll be looking at at CES and other shows like that for 2012, imma be heartbroken if the hardware keyboard becomes a classic feature...wishfull thinkin maybe...

[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
I don't see hardware keyboards going anywhere. Even though I love Swype and have gotten used to a software keyboard owning an Instinct for two years, I still am very glad I have a hardware keyboard. Soft keyboard is fine and all and I use it for quick short messages, but typing a long email on one is brutal. I'll gladly take the added bulk with the added utility.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
I doubt it. There will always be a few out there. And there will likely be 1-2 per carrier like it is now. I know several people in tech fields that only buy phones with hardware keyboards because it makes it easier for them to do their jobs. There may not be a large demand for hardware keyboards, but there is an important demographic there that manufacturers would be foolish to ignore.

"For one hint, Engadget notes that the web page now. sprint.com/nexus has a notice saying "this page will be ready soon." That's being interpreted in some corners to mean that a 4G-friendly Samsung S phone is on the way.

Similarly, the following pages -- now.sprint.com/evoview and now.sprint.com/evo3d -- direct surfers to another page rather than showing an error. That might mean that real devices -- an HTC Evo View tablet or an Evo 3-D capable phone might be on the horizon. Holy iPad-like Avatar!"
[Epic 4G General] niv3d:
I couldn't agree with you more! I'm eligible on August 1st for an upgrade, I will more than likely be getting the Nexus S 4G
[Epic 4G General] TheDub:
Google would be foolish to have a Nexus S that didn't get upgrades directly from them... they've come to be known for that and won't risk their reputation by letting Sprint / Samsung (whoever is REALLY to blame here) mess that up.

If a Nexus S 4G came to be there would be some hardware and software differences... but I'm guessing Google will still maintain the updates. If our crack team of mountain dew powered developers can get CM6/7 going to the points we've had it then I'm sure google can figure out how to build Android with CDMA/WiMax support :rolleyes:

Speaking of CM7... once we reach that milestone we literally have a Nexus S with a keyboard.. top it all off with the fact that a CDMA/WiMax Nexus S for Sprint would probably be so easy to port you could do it blindfolded...
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Anyone else find it odd they are releasing a 4g device when they still seem unsure of the future of their own 4g network...would blow nutz if this was wimax and in 3 months they start an lte push...
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
You can say both the epic and nexus s are the same hardware wise. True. But one of my main reasons is the experience. My experience has been ok. I mean i have to mod the phone to mimic the nexus... i feel the dev rom experience will be much better with a phone that works perfectly out of the box. Im always flashing different roms with my epic because i always find something sooner or later that hinders my use. I wanna be able to use my phone with stock os and have a good experience. I want to flash to make my phone cooler alltogether, not flash to fix existing problems because sprint and samsung suck balls. They will never write software better than google. Why do you think that even with the same hardware modded nexus s' still score higher than our epics??

Sorry.

Its not the same phone.

Ou epics with a keyboard are just as bulky as the keyboardless htc hero and i don't recall anyone calling that phone "bulky"

Anyways, the only thing they can release to get me to buy is a 4inch samoled+ exynos packing 2mp/5mp dual led flash lte/wimax2 icecream and keyboard phone.

[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
It's not the bulk that bothers me, it's the fact that my screen is loose because the build quality sucks and samsung can't build a sturdy phone. I will pay good money to get the exact same if it won't fall apart on me
[Epic 4G General] flopez76:
Well looking at the Nexus S development forum there is only 74 threads, where as the Evo development forum has 500+ threads, now this makes me worry about the dev support for the Nexus S, or could it just be that the Nexus S forum is better managed? This really bothers me because i want a phone that has an insane amount of devs. What's y'all takes on this?

Sent From My Command Center... (aka basement)
[Epic 4G General] Darkshneider:
The Evo has been out for how long? And spanned how many versions of Android? Then theres the people who like Sense, people who like AOSP, MIUI... add the TON of ROMs based on each of those tastes (except MIUI, I guess).
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Probably because there are already multiple apps that can only be run by a dual core Tegra 2 on the market. Anyone who buys a single core phone right now should get their head examined. Why sacrifice the power and the "futureproof"ness of the dual core just so you can get updates a tiny bit faster?
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
What I meant was why the hell would anyone think this would be internally different than the original nexus... People need to use their ****ing brains
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Because if it is the same as the Nexus S, Sprint is out of their minds releasing it. It better be different than the Nexus S.

And if it isn't different from the Nexus S at all, who is selling their epic4g for it? That is beyond stupid unless you REALLY can't wait the week for devs to port its rom over after a new release since it will be IDENTICAL to our phone except for a hardware keyboard and an NFC chip.
[Epic 4G General] DangerZone1223:
I don't understand all the drool for Nexus S compared to our Epic! In terms of the Nexus S vs the Epic 4G, the Nexus S:

Picture quality isn't as nice as the Epic 4G

No 4G

No keyboard

No 720p recording

Same screens

Same size

Same processor

Same form factor

Everyone is "b-b-b UPDATES!!!111" on here. Chill. CM7 and other mods aren't floating your boat? Picky, picky...
[Epic 4G General] t.lynn.c:
HAHA well we already know sprint is out of their minds. Even if it does come out slightly different it's still gonna be a carrier phone and the updates aren't gonna come right from google, they come right from google now to the Nexus S because it's google's baby, you cant go to a carrier and buy that phone you have to get it from best buy or amazon or the net.

My guess is it will have it's differences, like the NFC chip and obviously no keyboard, I would also guess that since we don't use the SIM cards they can possibly use that for an SD. And it will probably have 2.3 which isn't perfect either since that phones been out they are on 2.3.3 because of on screen keyboard issues and whatever else. Maybe it will have more ram and such but I think they are mainly trying to appeal to the crowd of people that want the hardware we have without the physical keyboard.
[Epic 4G General] rip2:
Good thing I wasn't drinking anything that made me lol for real!
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
Youre kind of right. Its being called the nexus s4g for a reason....

For one I'd love to have it just to very rid of my loose screen... I don't see the point in having a phone with a broken feeling, loose screen, because samsung can't make a quality sliding mechanism.

Yes, I am selling my epic and getting the nexus ONLY because of the lack of keyboard. I struggle to find times where the p-keyboard is even close to the speed of swype and with the way it misses keys I'm usually making more mistakes with it too. acs frozen helped with that, but you're ignorant if you claim the pkeyboard is perfect on any rom.

[Epic 4G General] Quis89:
Eh...Samsung took just as long with the Moment as HTC with the Hero. And I was unaware the Instinct was ever supposed to get any kind of update. Hell...the software on the S30 wasn't that much different.
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
True hero and moment updated after the same wait, but it did take forever. The s30 software came with the bug fixes promised to original instinct users. That phone was awful.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
I remember that was sprints fault....they purposelly held back one so the other can finish and released them at the same time....I don't remember which one was taking long though.

[Nook Color General] Gunner86:
Hey Guys, i am new and not very knowledgeable in the android world i tried searching but the more i search the more confused i get, i finally got my hands on a nook color (got a brand new in box nook from a place called mardens for 156$ taxes in i was stoked) and rooted it but i think i want to go further then just a root because i don't use the nook as an e reader , here are my questions:

1. I would love to install froyo on my device but i can't seem to find a step by step guide on how to do it

2. I also see that there is 2 froyo builds and was wondering which one is better.

3. Also is Froyo stable on the nook or is it really glitchy? Compared to the stock rooted nook?

4. Once you install froyo is it reversible (go back to the stock build?)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

Gunner
[Nook Color General] barrist:
I have not received my nook yet, but doing some prep for installing nookie froyo, it just takes a bit of time and searching to find the info you're looking for (some of it external to XDA)

1. http://forum.androidcentral.com/barnes-noble-nook-color/ check the stickies for how-tos

2. i believe there is an "official" one and a customized one that someone built from the official 0.6.8 version. I'm going to use the customized one as it comes with the oc kernel

3. From what I read, auto-nooter would be the MOST stable but Nookie Froyo is almost as stable and gives you the benefits of Froyo instead of Eclair. The other ones (HC and CM7) are coming along but aren't quite there yet.

4. Yes you can go back. With the Nook Color being able to boot from SD card, it's unlikely to ever be "stuck" on something.

Again, that's just from what i read i have no experience (yet). hope to get the nook color this week or next.
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
If you want to use the B&N stock apps, stay on stock eclair and just root that because you will lose all that functionality when you flash NF or CM7 or any other variations. I haven't used NF but from what I read, it's second most stable next to rooted stock eclair.

Superboot requires an unlocked bootloader as well.

Superboot mods your kernel.

Superboot doesn't install clockwork recovery, so you're still going to have to go through all those steps in the non-superboot methods.

Superboot's great if you want one click install of the su and superuser.apk files, but it's only a half-solution in terms of getting other things that most modders/rooters are after (custom roms, custom kernels, etc).
