Help me lol Hard decision

Hey I'm kind of considering trading my gs2 skyrocket for a nokia n9 64 gb either in black or blue.
I know I'm forsaking LTE and android, but honestly the n9 does everything I need it to do in a simpler and more battery efficient manner, as well as having a superior design and more compact size. Also lack of apps isn't a big deal to me I don't game on my phone beyond the occasional angry birds.
So anyone in the Los Angeles/Glendale area wanna do this trade?
Some of your thoughts on this would be nice.
I could also sell my gs2 skyrocket to some in the aforementioned area for like 500$ ish I guess with my accessories then buy the n9 off like amazon or something, ebay maybe.

500 is a good price you are getting, they sell for 350-400 on xda marketplace..

Ah well then I'd just price it at the 350-400, I don't actually know anyone in my area to sell it to that's why I'm asking here XD

Nexus 4 - Discussion Thread

I figured many users may want to express what they feel about the new Nexus 4.
Well, in my opinion - It surely is a beast - I don't like the look of it though - The back looks stunning but the front is kind of weird.
THE BEST PART - The price is INSANE! 349 for 16GB GSM - Getting a 2G, Quad Core BEAST is INSANE!
Sorry for caps but it's just amazing! I'm trying to sell out my Nexus to get the N4.
The thing I don't like - It's not SuperAmoled - But it's not Pentile either.
Android 4.2 features are amazing, it looks smooth! I love that they finally included quick settings and the sphere camera thing is epic.
Let's get this thread going

the phone is very cheap for the hardware, but i think if it won´t offer a better batterylife i can wait. the nexus itself is awesome and very fast, there´s no need for me atm for more power xD
i hate the fact that google is gonna take the way of apple, getting money (50€/$) for 8gb extra internal storage... and the 8gb version makes not much sense. if u own such a device, you´d like to play games, that take benefits from the hardware and such games are 1gb+. all in all i can wait for the moment. in 2months i can get a new phone, because my contract is gonna expire
i´d always prefer a nexus, but hd display, with only 16gb storage sucks if u want to watch hd videos :/ so i might take an s3 or nexus tablet for that and stick to the nexus as mainphone, we´ll see.

I allready found some1 that want to buy my GNex but i wait until the release... I can't waiiiiiiiiiittttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >_< damn 350$ 16bg???? so so so cheap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i paid 400$ for my GNex gsm 16Gb... but i really love my GNex (is the only phone that remeaind in my pocket for 8-9 months ) i usually sell my phone every 2-3 months

I paid 517 for mine hahah! And same here! The only phone that stayed in my pocket for 9 months! I love it!

I really can't believe i just bought my GNEX 5 weeks ago... I didn't expect the price to be THIS good... Guess i can't sell that thing for 300 bucks anymore...
Well, then I just buy the next Nexus.

Doesn't matter! You'll still get all the updates in time! The Gnex development department is AMAZING. Get your hands on the Nexus 10 instead - That thing is beast! LOOK AT THE RESOLUTION

I get everyone's gripe about internal storage being insufficient and only HSPA+ device. Lack of LTE doesn't bother me. Apparently HSPA+ is a slouch on a couch to everyone. Society is now on the go, go, go age.

I got mine on 10/5, so about 3 weeks ago. Does anyone know anyway to convince Google to take it as a return? I see they have 15 days only on their website, which is honestly a joke... Except for big ticket items (cars, homes, etc.) the standard should really be 30 days and I'd even say up to 90. Anyway, any guidance is helpful, if there isn't any, no big deal.

How the hell Google is taking way of apple when Google is selling their flagship phone for $300-$350? Apple charges $700 for the unlocked iPhone 5. At this price I don't think there is any room to complain.
Sent from my Nexus 7

I am seriously considering getting one of these babies at launch. The specs look fantastic and I have grown to love stock android since getting my Nexus 7. I'm hoping I can set my 6 month old One X about £270-280 so that it will cover this purchase. The only downgrade will be the storage space but considering I only use about 4gb of the available space on my One X it won't be an issue.
I understand for some 16gb won't be enough. But if you look at what Google has done with the Nexus 7 I wouldn't be surprised to see a 32gb model released a few months down the line.
I'd like to see a screen comparison between the One X and the Nexus 4. I LOVE the screen on my One X and if the Nexus 4 screen isn't at a similar level it could make me decide to stick with what I have.

Thanks for the info friend.

I'm sold. The only problem for me is the o2 exclusively in the UK as I am upgrading and currently on Vodafone. Carphone warehouse may be my saving grace as they listed both o2 and Vodafone in the leaks. I CAN'T WAIT A MONTH!!!!

Undoubtedly! The Nexus 4 is SO cheap! I can literally sell my Galaxy Nexus right now for the same price of the Nexus 4.

At this point it may be difficult to sell the GNex at New pricing, unless you literally ordered it before it was removed from Play or you use convincing-enough wording when listing it on Amazon.

I'm going to buy direct from Google and switch to GiffGaff. It runs on o2's network so the signal will be the same. They have a variety of very low priced offers. Check it out: http://giffgaff.com/
I've cancelled my contract with Vodafone. Contracts are just too expensive in the long run. This phone will be around £25-30 for 2 years. That makes a total price of £600-720. Buying direct and using GiffGaffs £10 a month offer after two years it is £520

Are you guys happy with your M9?

Im only asking because i've seen so many for sale on swappa very good price too $450 brand new is there something wrong with the phone i'm thinking about getting one, is it worth getting or should i wait

Most of the sealed/unopened sales you see on swappa are from HTC champions... Meaning HTC sells the M9 to people that work in carrier stores for $299 and they just turn around and sell it to make a profit

oh i see well maybe i pull the trigger and get one ..hopefully ill be happy with it. oh by the way for people that already bought the phone is the camera really that bad

No its not...while there are better out there its not as bad as people act like

I came from nexus 5 and thought I'd just stick with nexus devices. Had the nexus 4 prior to the 5.
I'm glad I took the gamble on the m9. I love it. Smooth, fast, and all around nice features and I love the dual front facing speakers. Very happy, definitely

Nexus 6 - still worth it?

Android - I'm coming home! Now to find a phone.
Been looking at the Nexus 6 pretty hard. I don't want LG, and I refuse to pay premium prices for a Haiwei crash-o-matic piece of junk.
Spent some time at Best Buy today fondling a Nexus 6 - love the screen, love the feel, love the speed.
So, nearly a year after it's release, is it still worth it? Thinking about doing another 2 year with AT&T, which would make it $149, or $349 outright through Best Buy.
THoughts?

Plain and simple: Yes
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Forums Pro.

Its as cool to have as an Indialantic beach!

People are still happy with their Nexus 4's for that matter, so I'd say yes, it's still worth it for the next 2 years. Although personally I despise 2 year contracts.

Most definitely. I have a Galaxy S6 and this thing blows it out of the water, except the camera. Way faster, much more support, better battery life.. Although I figured I'd get more than what I do. I'm keeping my eye out on the upcoming Nexus(es) but I have a feeling I'll stick with this and the S6 for awhile.
BTW I just purchased this about a month ago from Swappa. Couldn't stand being locked down with the S6 anymore.

Traded my G4 for a nexus and its so much better so YES ! Great screen, speakers and performance !! I will never use a skinned Android phone again !

Hmmmm... I just looked at the AT&T website - it was there last night, not there this morning.
I hope this doesn't mean they pulled it.
If they did my only hope is that they make the Moto X Pure available, but I am doubtful.

Get the unlocked version! That way you have options. IMO, over the next 2-5 years, we are going to see major changes in the way cellular, and probably all technology, services are handled. It would suck to be locked in for the next 2 years.
Im on Straight Talk for $50 a month and using AT&T towers in my area w/ 4g LTE. Unlimited everthing Full speed up to 5g and throttled after that. Unless you are grandfathered in on some amazing deal, being locked in always favors the carrier.
BTW, Best Buy has 6 month interest free financing.

I want the unlocked one, but funding is tight... plus so is the wife's purse LOL
She controls the money in the house so I play by her rules - happy wife, happy life!
Regarding the financing, I tried already - because I had a bankruptcy in the past 3 years Best Buy won't give me any credit (even though every other bank in the free world seems to be throwing it at me!)

My wife about cut me when I ordered our Nexus 6's because of the price haha! But now that she has one I doubt she'll let me get her out of the Nexus lineup from here on out. The Nexus community doesn't seem to die out like our devices often do. The hardware really isn't that dated. I admit the camera is a bit lacking on this device. Finding a case can be a challenge if you're a destroyer of phones like myself. But the speed, screen and speakers on this phone are amazing!
Case wise I had to get a unicorn beetle. It has saved my phone twice now.

I contacted AT&T via Facebook - all they could tell me is that it wasn't available right now - which doesn't necessarily mean that they will not have it again, just that it's not available NOW. Go figure...

New Nexus is coming out later on this month or next month. It's made by Huawei. Guess AT&T have just unloaded all their old stock. Amazon and ebay sellers are doing the same.

Go for it, still a very capable phone and you'll get official updates for at least another year and if not there will always be custom ROMs for the latest android versions out there.

I'd have to agree. Unless it's a 64GB with all original accessories and a few extras like cases and wireless chargers I'd say it's a bit much too.

At this point I would just save a little extra money and wait for a good 6P discount. I bought a brand new nexus 6 in december at 250 so I can't recommend you to buy an used one for more than that.

You can buy a 5X for 199 when you sign up for Fi.

Personally I agree that the original Nexus 6 is a good buy. I have it, and I still feel that it is the best phone I have owned.
That being said, I also agree that the price you have been quoted for the Used Nexus 6, does seem a bit high. Personally I would negotiate a slightly lower price if possible.

I bought a brand new phone for $250 from Amazon..

That's great for people who Fi works in their area I have 0 sprint coverage and about 10% coverage of Tmo in my area. Att is OK but Verizon is dominant with coverage about 95% of the rural area I live in....
Nexus 6 is still a great phone! I won't be giving it up anytime soon!

I got one late Feb and it is a great device. Got one from AWD - 32Gb at $215. I was opting for moto x pure but it was a bit expensive at that time. Anywho, its a great buy, i have no regrets.

I don't think they will sell it at that price anytime soon but keep on the lookout. Even AWD where I got mine sells it at around $300 in very good condition. Mine was from AWD as well and tagged used- in very good condition but it came like bnew.
Surely there must be forwarders in your country where you can ship it to a US address and they ship it to you for a price. That is what I usually do since I live in the PH.

I picked up a refurb from groupon for $250 a few weeks ago, I enjoy it personally.

What does 9/10 mean? Weak point of N6 is the battery
The updates are monthly now and Google never added new things, I would not be disappointed when the monthly updates stop.
In any case there will be Android N for the N6.
The point to worry about is the battery life and the amoled display. The dev's at Google forces us to use a white background. There is no option yet to switch to a dark theme without root access.
A child knows that a white interface on amoled displays causes battery drain. But Google ignores that.
Prepare for rooting and use layers and alternatives for Gapps like Aquamail that have the option to switch to a dark theme.

9/10 is a rating, ergo 9 out of 10. He's saying the device is nearly perfect.

I got mine for $180. Had an LG G3 before this phone. I just wanted a giant screen that is a great performer. I got more than I expected with this phone. I love it. There may be better devices on the market, but this is a great phone for the price!

I've just upgraded from my be loved nexus 5 and love it. Upgraded for the storage
