Well ladies and gents after tomorrow I may be moving to the Galaxy Nexus. I have been eyeballing them for a while now and today my brother got one. He brought it over and wanted it rooted and cool custom rom put on it and we had an evening of fun with it. I can upgrade to that phone for $.97 and that is hard for me to pass up. There is nothing wrong with my Inc 2, but I sure do like that bigger screen it is very snappy and I don't think I can go wrong for a dollar. I have also been looking at the S3 for awhile too, but I will give the gnex a go and see what I think.

The phone may be $0.97 up front but it's not a $0.97 phone. That's the subsidized price. The real cost of the phone is in the monthly fees over the course of a two year contract.

Oh yeah, I know they still get their money, especially with the data charges! :D I have been purchasing my phones used so I could keep my unlimited data, but I now work from home and don't really need unlimited data because I stay connected to wifi 90% of the time, so why not upgrade and get my new phone. The only con I could find was the lack of a SD card, but I have a 16gb sd card in my phone now and that is plenty for me.

Well, I did go ahead and get the gnex and so far so good. I still have my Inc 2 and will still play around with it from time to time and if for some reason I find something that I dislike with the gnex I will have something to on hand to activate.

Cool, enjoy it. Looks like a solid phone, it was my backup plan if I didn't get the deal I wanted on the S3

I think that's what ill be doing. That phone is still good and you don't have to deal with branding. Plus you get the benefit of LTE.

Hehe I'm pretty much flashing a new rom every day :eek:
Story of my life. Except I flash all the ROMS I've already flashed because I'm a flash-a-holic. Its so bad that, after running the PAC ROM we have; which runs great for me, I felt the need to flash something else just for the sake of flashing.

I need help.
