Jumping ship! to Galaxy Nexus

[norazi]

i loved my htc sensation but i found the nexus too hard too resist at $465 and better dev support

i will be selling my singapore htc sensation (works with $5/mo tzones), any idea whats a good going price for it in good condition?

if anyone is interested in the nexus, its still available for $465 at mobile.dailysteals.com

If in mint condition, flawless screen, 300 dollars.

I'm actually bored of my Nexus now. Development has completed stopped as Google aren't releasing new updates

Such a shame as the phone is awesome

Nice move but i think the sensation will live dev wise a little longer.

i hate sense.... so the only roms that were of interest to me were trips/vorbeths cm9 and virtuous inquisition... and all 3 are still buggy as of today

Saw that sale too, so tempted.
I played with my friend's Verizon GNex and it didn't blow me away though.
Quite similar to my phone running Virtuous Inq.
The difference wasn't great enough to warrant me spending so much money, even if I did sell my Sensation.

Getting a galaxy nexus this far into 2012? The thing is 6 months old already! Cortex-A15 beasts (Galaxy S III) are right around the corner, why waste money now?

 

[EddyOS]

Don't get me wrong guys, the screen alone makes the Nexus better than the Sensation - hands down!!

It's just that stock Android, where it was at first nice and new, pales in comparison to Sense 4...might sell mine and get the One X

It isn't even known if the Galaxy S III‘s Exynos will be A15. You could assume so but the doesn't make it definite. Look at the Tegra 3 for example.

Lol v4 isnt buggy at all. Its basically perfect

I jumped on this deal too. I love my Sensation but need to get back to stock Android, and I agree, the current AOSP/AOKP ROMs for Sensation are buggy or missing core functionality. Development seems to be moving along at a snail's pace. Not a complaint, just an observation.

I'll still keep my Sensation just in case, but eagerly awaiting the GN.

Care to elaborate? I find this hard to believe considering it's a brand new Nexus device, and even the N1/S are still getting support (N1 got an update just September of last year, and the S was recently updated).

Are you saying it has stopped for now or it has stopped entirely?

Sensation has enough power to run cm9 super smooth.

Not that impressed by Nexus Galaxy, then wait for a Quad Core phone.
One X quadcore gets 4750 in Quadrant (might not be optimized for 4cores yet?)
know its not about all about numbers, but cm9 feels good

cm9 opensensation (bluetooth working, only camera not recording yet and some other bugs)

Officially the GSM Nexus is on 4.0.2. There have been more updates since then - 4.0.3 (which all new ICS devices will be running) and 4.0.4 for the CDMA Nexus. Google aren't looking like doing anything else at present and I hope we'll get a new update come I/O but in a Dev sense all the ROMs are the same.

OK, MIUI is now out but bar that there's not a lot to differentiate between ROMs

 

[adolfo778]

Though most roms seem the same (the sense ones) Have tried alot of AOSP ones there awesome waiting for miui to be stable(r) lol

The first chance I get I will get the Gnex. I will not look back. I have a couple of manufacturers that I will NOT buy their phones again. I can care less if they put a big battery or have some cool feature... the one thing I care about is UPDATE. What good is a $500 phone if it never gets an update or better yet they let the phone out with hardware issues that can not be resolved with software update. I have watched android evolved only to see what manufacturers of phone and carriers do to it. As much as I hate apple, they did it right and for Google to just sit idle while they butcher they product I just don't get. Anyway enough ranting... gnex is my next phone, hopefully before summer.

If you want updates then don't get the Nexus, there have barely been any. Only the custom roms have progressed but they have all peaked now

thats what i dont get about biased phone owners... how can you say v4 is perfect when the gallery from camera button doesnt work and there are documented multitouch and mute issues that were fixed in 4.1? im not saying the galaxy nexus is perfect either... im sure it has its share of issues

but as an AOSP lover, a nexus device is a definite upgrade on the software side

i dont care about the number of updates... i only care for how stable the rom base is and if the nexus has truly "peaked" as you say, then i will happy with that over a device that has 1000x more updates but still has issues

Have non of those issues im not being biased. Ive been modding since jesus freak days. Ive been around since the beginning of android. Your comment is biased. But not trying to argue man we all have our opinions. For my needs in a phone v4 with the sensation deff gets the job done and gets it done well beyond my expectations.

If you do go through with jumping ship be ready to pick up an extended battery and cover.

The GNEX is pretty abysmal with battery life.
