Always a next-big thing!

You bet.. ICS is now what 2 months or 3 months old... That's ancient!

All joking aside, everyone wants that next latest and greatest. I want the same but at the same time I want something that is going to ride for a good 2 years like my NS4G.

I know...I want it too, well...just 'cause it's there! I am phone/rooting junkie! We have four Android devices...the EVO 4G, EVO 3D, NS4G, and LG Optimus S and I have rooted and modded them all! I agree with being patient though. Who wants a buggy release? If you want that, there are some ROMs out there...

I'm going to keep this phone I have for a while. Its does what I need it to do. I'm eligable for an upgrade in April and my contract expires in June. I bought this phone off contract. And I will more than likely go month to month for as long as I can.

If I did get te galaxy nexus, it would be when I could find it for a couple hundred off contract like I did this phone.

Exactly what I did, and exactly how I feel. My contract ended in December, and I believe that contract originated when I purchased a Samsung Moment. Since then, I purchased off contract and months after release date several Optimus S's and then this Nexus S 4g, all for equal or less than what they were selling for with a two year contract from Sprint. I'll hold on to this phone for a while until I can either get the Galaxy Nexus off contract for a reasonable price, or (more likely), use my upgrade in about a year to get whatever comes after the Galaxy Nexus, once Sprint's LTE gets a bit more mature.

I am due an upgrade in July. Unless there is something better than the galaxy nexus, I will have to stick with the nexus 4g.

I have tried the on screen buttons on my nexus. And have played with them on the galaxy nexus in the sprint store. I absolutely hate them. I will NEVER pay money for a phone that has the on screen buttons.

Hopefully there will be options available in July or I will gladly save my money and continue to rock my nexus.

Isn't 'buttonless' the model for future phones shipping with ICS?

I remember when people including me said that they would never get a phone without a keyboard. And now I am here, and I don't regret it. It just takes getting use to like everything in life.

Some days, I wish I still had a physical keyboard, but most days, nah, even with the many predictive text errors that both Swype and Swiftkey make when I use them. Which brings me to another subject that I may post a new subject on.

The Nexus S has a single-core chip, 1/2 the memory, 1/2 the storage and significantly lower screen resolution than the GNex. They aren't even in the same hardware class as each other.

But you know what, we've been running ICS with no problems. We haven't had anywhere near the signal problems and other things that have plagued the GN so for an old dog device I'd say were doing very well
