Look there instead of posting here. "Buy it now" go for $230-250. If you bid, you can get for less.

I wouldn't pick up a N1 at this stage.
Don't get me wrong, I still like mine alot but its 2.5 years old now. There has to be better phones out there you can pick up for $200 or so.

Buy acers new quad core tablet for 200usd

But in any case, buy a phone officially supported by CM (with already working CM9)... Why not the Galaxy S ?

Because Galaxy S isn't a good choice of a phone, with the main shortcomings being:
1) Crappy GPS (more or less slow fixation time, high positioning error).
2) Slow internal memory (EXT4 and other lagfix types don't help, it's just slow).
3) Flashing unfriendliness (stupid Samsung thing of sticking recovery into kernel).
Today there are much better options.
And why does official CM support matter? I'd say that for actual phone usage it's much more important to get one of the good overlays - whether HTC Sense or Samsung TouchWiz 4 (because 3 is slow). Bare Android is far from being sufficient for many use cases.

NEVER EVER EVER EVER BUY THE NEXUS ONE! Buy a Desire S, it's in your budget...

Bye Bye Nexus 4 forum

I have learned quite a lot from this forum and may stop by sometime but I have traded my Nexus 4 for an unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note II and I am loving it. Once I have had it for a while I drop by and let people how it compares to the Nexus 4 for me.

Farewell! I actually did the opposite. Sold my Note for a Nexus 4. I actually dropped the phone on several occasions due to it's size and that's what made me sell it. I hope you have better luck with it, because I did love the phone at the time.

Sold my note 2 after 2 months use because the difference in fluidity is very apparent to me (nexus win), couldn't have a fully functioning AOSPA rom (Samsung sources not always available), and some of my favorite devs support the nexus (Moles, Morfic, Faux123, Franco). Do miss the battery life, spen, and gorgeous screen on the note 2 though. Both phones are great.

good luck with cheap plastic looking thingy

& we need a thread for this?

You better be rocking your nexus 4 naked to be making that sort of statement. Most people when they buy a samsung, apple or google phone always have a case on it so whether it's glass or plastic don't matter. And when you break that back glass, good luck replacing it.

For those that don't like this thread I don't need your permission to post.
To those that have communicated with me and helped me this thread is for you. Thanks
For those interested in the idea of such a swap...
I switched not so much because of something I did not like because I didn't know what was better or worse than the Nexus 4 vs the Note 2. I wanted the pen, sd card, otg and the larger screen. I now find I like the larger size as I have rather large hands. So with the Note 2 I don't keep accidentally pushing the buttons on the side of the phone. I also happen to like Touch Wiz as I have it on my GNote 10.1 and I am not really that concerned with quick updates or having the latest versions. I would have gotten a Note 2 in the first place If I could have afforded it unlocked. Which I could not but I could afford the Nexus 4. Now I found someone that bought a T-mobile Note 2 on contract because they could not afford a Nexus 4. They kept their contract and switched it to the Nexus 4. They requested the Note 2 be unlocked. So I got an unlocked Note 2 without a contract. Making it was a win win situation for us.
As I use the Note 2 I find that the calls made using Talkatone over WiFi are much better quality without having to make any adjustments other than to increase the speaker settings in Talkatone when speaking to my wife as she speaks very softly. The Note 2 does not have the mic gain problem that the Nexus 4 has.
I find the screen of the Note 2 to be quite a bit cooler in color than the Nexus 4. I am still not sure which I think is better color wise. Sharpness of text and images is so great on both as I can not see any thing but smooth curves no matter how hard I look. I can not see any dots on either screen so dpi and resolution are fine for me on both.
I don't like for the physical button on the Note 2. I would rather have the center button be the same as the menu and back buttons. Also I think it looks cheap. I love how the back and menu buttons are not on the screen and do not show but light when touched. I find the arrangement of the buttons on the Note 2 better for me. On the Nexus 4 the back button always seemed to be on the wrong side. Of course the real estate of the screen is awesome the thinner frame around the screen makes the phone look even bigger than it is.
I don't like the fact the Note 2 uses S-Beam instead of Android Beam as they don't work together as far as I can tell. My wife has an Xperia Acro S using Android beam and we were able to beam some pictures sometimes between it and the Nexus 4 via NFC and Android Beam but we can't beam pictures using S-Beam and Android Beam between the Xperia Acro S and the Note 2. We were able to beam a Youtube but really that just beamed the link and opened up the Youtube player.

Shopping for Exhibit Replacement

Well my wife and I got a call from T-Mobile about their new warranty plan and I think I would like to upgrade my phone.. i'm torn because I do like the exhibit (ONLY BECAUSE OF ALL THE HARD WORK FROM THE DEVELOPERS ON THIS SITE) and so i'm hesitant to let it go.. but I would like something that has a faster processor.. bigger screen.. and some built in new features..
I shopped around a little bit.. but you all here know so much about these phones.. I wanted your opinions.. what is the best phone sold by T-Mobile and why?
I originally thought i'd get the Galaxy S4... but I know a lot of guys here decide to get the Nexus 4.. I saw that the Nexus is a pure google experience verses the S4 has a Skinned version.. I did see this morning that there is an S4 "google play edition".. but not sure if T-Mobile sells it..
I also saw the HTC One and Xperia on the shelf.. Can you all please let me know your thoughts?
Thank you!

Its all personal reference no T-Mobile doesn't sell the Google edition s4. I think why ppl like the nexus its a Google phone it will always be the first to receive stock updates. Plus your get the pure android experience and doesn't cost a arm and a leg plus your first born Lol. But if you want all the bells and whistles go with the s4.

It's only my opinion, and you are free to dismiss it at your leisure, but a replaceable sd card and battery are very important. This Exhibit is just about perfect for my needs, and the size is perfect. My wife liked it so much, she bought one (tho she's still on the stock T-Mobile flavor of GB).
Keep up the good work, guys! I hope to use this phone for many years.

PSA: Nexus 4 now $199/$249 on Google Play

If you've been thinking about upgrading, now is the time to do it. Sure, this means the N5 is incoming, but nowhere else will you find a deal like this on such a fantastic device. And supplies won't last long, I guarantee it. Google is obviously clearing them out. Remember the HP Touchpad? Yeah, you don't want to miss out this time. Ever since I upgraded from the Exhibit, the difference has literally been night and day. Just thought I'd drop by and give the heads up. Cheers, guys!

I got the 16GB version. Only real downside is not having the option for expandable storage. Still, for the price, it's an absolute steal. Performance is incredible, dev support is great, and overall this is the best value for any phone on the market right now. I'd highly recommend buying a case though. Just take my word for it.

8gb nexus 4 for 200 was too good to pass up, so i'm finally gonna be moving on from this trusty ol galaxy exhibit. will still be around to keep my wife's exhibit updated with aoip though. any chance that team insomnia will be developing for the nexus 4 in the near future...? one can only hope! :fingers-crossed:

Yeah I pretty much decided against getting it, the lack of an expandable SD card slot is too much of a deal killer and would create a lot of extra work. That sounds lazy but after a year of factory resets and installing new ROMs that's what happens!

Not lazy, AD. I agree completely. I could overlook the size (possibly), but the lack of a removable, upgradable SD card is a killer. Technology moves too quickly and these guys have gotten this exhibit working so well...

So I tested the market for the Galaxy exhibit. Apparently, buyers are willing to pay at most $100 for this phone. This is in Canada
SOLD! for $130

Next phone after S1? S4 mini??

After using my beloved Galaxy S1 for more than 2 years I feel its time for an upgrade. I'm currently on a tighter budget than last time so Galaxy S4 is out of my reach. I've always been impressed with Samsung's build quality and memory reliability, and am worried about moving to another brand.
I've come across a cheap contract deal with decent enough minutes and stuff for a "Samsung Galaxy S4 mini" for £20/m in UK. I was going to go for a Galaxy S3 same price but compared, the S4 mini was that bit faster on youtube videos I watched. I like the look of S4 mini as it feels very similar to S1, not to big to handle, and faster.
What I want to know if what other people (on a budget) think of S4 mini and what phone they would upgrade to next while being on a budget?

Hi,
someone in my family got an S4 mini and it is very great device...the camera is very good and it has a good performance...dual-core up to 1,7 Ghz and a few more RAM like our "good old device"
When i would upgrade i would prefer s4 mini or nexus 4 , maybe nexus 5 (should be released in the next weeks!) ... but it is my opinion...

For the contact price I don't think I'll find a higher spec device. I would also like to try the Nexus but I can't afford the phone outright and have yet to see it on contract.

hey, why dont you just save up a few extra and get the Nexus 5? Its going to be cheaper than other high end flagships i hope and its got the best specs on the market and its a nexus! Just save up the extra money you need to reach $350ish and wait it out for the N5!

Or like GalaxySN00B:0 said you wait for the release of Nexus5 and look if you can get it ...
When all the speculations are right, it will be a great device for the half of the prize of an iphone and so on ...
