I'm due for an upgrade and very anxious to take advantage of it considering I've had a to-go phone for ages. I'd really like to just go ahead and grab the GS2, but the idea of the Galaxy Nexus coming to AT&T entices me. How long should I wait to hear word on whether it will be coming to AT&T before just going ahead and picking up the GS2. If its going to be until January I think I'd rather just get the GS2 now.
Probably hear something in a week or so. Verizon supposedly is releasing it on 11/10, so hopefully we'll hear something soon. I'm very anxious to get one as well. My GS2 will be my back up.
im waiting for a few weeks, if i dont catch word or rumors of anything announced before the end of the year, ill be jumping ship to go with the galaxy S2
I'll wait til mid November, I bought the Atrix in June, and am really looking to get rid of this phone.
Wait till at least January. This phone will be heading to ATT and I am sure it will be first up after Verizon. I would not jump to the GS2 just because you can't wait a few months. It will be here and you will be very happy you waited. I mean it will be the first phone with ICS. Nothing beats that.
NO micro sd slot....that is a HUGE blow! I like having 32gb of extra storage....Stupid move by Samsung....
Nexus is using older CPU, no micro sd capability and ICS will be coming to GS2 and other devices in months to come and even sooner once developers get their hands on it.
I do want to see that screen though...sounds amazing. Wish the GS2 was a qHD screen.
Another down side to the Nexus...Super AMOLED
Not Super AMOLED+ like the Galaxy. :(

I'm on a flippin Samsung Captivate and the Galaxy Nexus can't get here fast enough. I was ready to go with the GS2, but CM7 is so nice even on my Captivate that waiting another couple of months for ICS is tolerable.
Yea the atrix sucked horribly was so happy when I was gone
The no sd slot is not a Samsung decision it's a Nexus thing since the Nexus S. they will always have onboard memory only now
also on the fence. galaxy nexus is sweet but there are many things the SGS2 does BETTER. better cameras , better screen , micro sd slot etc
Any one noticed that the mods have moved this forum out of rumored devices.
I'm glad I'm not the only one! I got this phone expecting great things and I am so disappointed with it. Really crossing my fingers for AT&T to jump on this phone and fast.

I like the galaxy nexus, but the LG p930 is very tempting to wait for as it supposedly will have LTE and Tegra 3.
I am willing to wait but it would be nice to have some confirmation that it will be relatively soon :) . I would rather have plain vanilla android than any phone manufacturer skin over it.
+1. I've skipped out on the Nexus twice now for a different phone, it wont be a third :)

Look. This phone is optimized to use dual core. Other phones are not. I bought the atrix, but it really only uses one core. The mp on a camera does not determine the quality. The sensors do. I'm with you on the SD card.
I'm waiting as long as its takes. My phone is defineately aged but it does what I need it to do, and I'm in no rush. May bypass if I hear some good Kel-El phones coming...not likely but anything is possible.
what? the Galaxy Nexus has a Super AMOLED HD screen, which looks like it's going to blow Super AMOLED+ away...
Its just because it doesn't have the word "plus" in the name, and a blog made a big stink out of it (without even having the phone to compare with yet). So now everyone is complaining and making a fuss.

The Atrix and other dual core phones will be big sellers when ICS starts slipping out to these older phones. Atrix will be so much faster under ICS than it is now!
+1 Yea who wants those extra lines of pixels when you can jam those extra dots into a smaller screen.
Well said! Gotta love all the techie blogs.
I hope we hear soon. I've been upgrade eligible for almost a year. I waited for the Atrix at CES and passed. Then news about the SGS2 came out, but that took so long to come to the states. And then now I've been waiting on the Nexus for a while.
I'm currently on a $12 GoPhone since I dropped my Captivate a while back. I'm not sure how much longer I can wait. I don't even necessarily need the phone right now, but just some indication of when its coming would be nice. I'm close to going to craigslist and buying an Inspire or something to hold me over.
A 12 dollar Go Phone? You are a braver man than I will ever be, sir.
As well as wise for passing on the ATRIX. Not a big fan of this at all.
