Hi all!

I've been lurking on this site for a while, first the blog, then the forums. I've never owned any type of smartphone before, but I've been doing lots of research and am set on getting an Android phone. I'm on Sprint and am finally due to upgrade my crummy flip-phone.

I'm about 90% set on the Nexus S 4G, and now that Amazon has it for $99 I'm really tempted to jump. The only other phone in serious consideration is the Evo 3D, but if it's not going to be out until July/August I can't see myself waiting that long. There's lots I love about the Nexus, but I'm a bit worried with some of the issues I've seen some people having with wifi and 4G. Can anyone tell me how common these problems are, and how likely they are to be fixed?

Kind of a wordy introduction, I know. If I need to take this to a more appropriate forum, let me know.

I'm looking forward to joining you all soon as a proud Android user!

Welcome!

You might want to hold on just a bit before buying. Check out the Phone Comparison.

The Samsung Nexus S 4G is a great phone and has Near Field Communication.

The HTC EVO 3D is due in June for $200. It has twice the RAM of the Nexus S, higher def, microSD, HDMI, HD Record, and is dual core.

The other new Sprint phone to watch is the Samsung Galaxy S II (Sprint Attain). The Galaxy S II also has twice the RAM of the Nexus S, higher def, microSD, HDMI, HD Record, is thinner, and has dual core. Engadget said that this "...might well be the best smartphone,.." and "Galaxy S II benchmarked, makes other phones cry in shame". It has NFC and USB OTG and is just screaming fast.
