Bought the Gnex straight from Google. Will run on T mobiles BYOD $60 unlimited talk text w/ 2Gb of data. :D 4G coverage is great in my area.


Honestly, I've always wanted the Gnex but I havent checked the price in a long time. After seeing the price I didn't hesitate. I cant fathom paying $200 more for the S3 when the Gnex is still a developers dream.

Im excited :D

Too many "pros" for me NOT to switch.

Gnex $200 cheaper than the S3

Basically the same plan but faster 4G and WAY more coverage.


I weighed the pros and cons all day and it was just very very clear the option. I thought the Gnex was still in the $400 range so I just never even gave it an option but I just so happen to check GPlay and that got the ball rolling. Made calls to Tmobile and got my info, checked the coverage map and made up my mind. :D

The Galaxy Nexus is a good phone, but it's $200 less then the GS3 for a reason. GS3 is pretty much top of the line Android while the Galaxy Nexus is considered old tech.

That's the plan i was on until i switched back to metro just because i can't deal with having 2gb per month and i use alot of data. And i don't have wifi.

how do you manage? I bet you have wifi at least.
 
I would personally wait for T -Mobile to roll out LTE which should be sometime in 2013 and wait for them to start selling LTE compatible devices before even considering switching to them. Or I would just wait for MetroPCS to start selling GSM/HSPA+/LTE compatible devices like I've said before.

Faster than what I've got now in my area by 3-4 times PLUS after seeing the comparisons of battery life of lte vs gsm, GSM battery life FAR exceeds lte. So once again, win win for me. Keep in mind, this is in MY area.

Plus I've been picking PG's brain all day because he too lives around me and has the Gnex.

I dont stream videos or music. At all. So just surfing the web, email, facebook, etc.... 2GB is plenty for me. I do have wifi at my house but usually then im on my PC.
 
The gnex and the gs3 aint that different so idk how its considered old tech. Only .15 inches bigger and 1 more gig of ram which the gs3 still lags and feezes, my sister-in-law has it and she hates that. Gnex has more support from google which is a plus, oh and dont forget the better battery life and consistent good speeds on hspa+ throughout the nation, not like metro.

Ahh i see. You can manage just fine lol.

As for me i can't at the moment. As of right now i stream music and watch, Netflix but not too often. And i watch streams from twitch tv.

T mobile is, nice but i can't go back to having to worry about my data usage again :(.

HSPA+ 21 radio, older 5-megapixel camera, and slightly slower dual-core processor compared to a HTC One X or GS3 which makes the hardware slightly dated.

If that's worth the extra $200 then good for you.

For me? Not in this lifetime. The nexus's HUGE development makes up for anything and everything you can come up with to say it's "old tech".

Remember, this is MY phone. Not yours ;)

Yeah and lte.
Camera? No normal person can even tell the difference between the two, ive seen the pictures the s3 takes and they look the same as my esteem and the gnex haha.
Well they had to go with the omap to make it cheaper, you wont even notice the difference with jellybean+.

Oh god yeah, you would kill that 2GB.

Im not the type of user that does all that. No offense. Im more on the development side while maintaining traditional phone values.

So like basic talk, text and web browse. And also customizing your phone.. I can respect that.

Maybe if i had wifi then it would be different for me. I at least have a,laptop and my closest hotspot is a, McDonalds.

Yeah basically. And honestly I hardly talk on my phone, mainly text. I hate talking on the phone actually. Just sitting there hearing the other person breathe. lol I've never been big into the whole movie thing or streaming music. I actually delete all that stuff. lol. im more into building themes and ROMs and what not. I like learning all that nerdy stuff. lol

GS3 is the best Android device in the U.S. That is until the Galaxy Note 2 comes out, lol.

US? You mean worldwide? Note 2? Negative. Making it the "best" would also include sales. You wont see 20 million plus sales on the Note 2. Now The GS4 will likely become the "next best" device tech wise and sales wise.
