I guess I'm used to my Galaxy S 4G but this phone disappointed me. <br /><br />Pros:<br />•Very attractive phone physically.<br />•Screen is beautiful with lots of color.<br />•Phone calls are nice and loud.<br />•Cheap at many participating stores.<br /><br />Cons: <br />•Swype is slow and sometimes doesn't respond at all.<br />•I've had many calls where I couldn't hear the person or the phone was making a crackling noise.<br />•I couldn't find a lot of the apps my Galaxy had.<br />•No Micro SD card slot<br />•No LED when an incoming notification come through. Not even a screen light up.<br />•Phone is very low ringtone and media wise.<br />•Phone only charges up to 95% then says it's full.<br />•Not much camera options compared to Galaxy. <br /><br />If I could bring my Galaxy S Vibrant 4G to Sprint I would. I wouldn't recommend this phone. It's priced cheap for a reason.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3188 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3188&r=39684#review39684 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3188&r=39684#review39684 Fri, 02 Sep 2011 04:48:56 GMT <p><i>gizmo_guy submitted this review of the Samsung Nexus S 4G:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>As a wireless professional, I am confident in saying that this is the perfect companion on the sales floor. I typically get 9 hours of moderate to heavy use out of the handset.<br /><br />I love the simple design of the device, especially since there is no bloatware from the carrier. Anyone who has never used a sAMOLED screen before will be very very pleased with the device. On a medium screen setting, with automatic brightness, the colors never wash out and the display far surpasses the quality of an iPhone. <br /><br />The 1GHz processor feels much faster than it is. Side by side with my wife's EVO, I find the Nexus to be slightly faster. Watching videos and streaming music is as close to a flawless experience as I've seen.<br /><br />Seamless integration with Google, Exchange, various CRM apps make this the absolute perfect choice for a business person on the go. <br /><br />There is only one con to this device: 4G WiMAX isn't available where I live.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3188 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3188&r=39671#review39671 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3188&r=39671#review39671 Sat, 27 Aug 2011 18:39:37 GMT <p><i>breonhowe submitted this review of the Samsung Nexus S 4G:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>dont get me wrong this is a good phone but way behind the curve! for it to be such a flagship phone with the title, "nexus", i imagined them to step it up and blow the market away. <br />Too much focus on having the screen curve may have distracted them from something as simple as a memory card slot, bigger battery, and dual core!!!!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3188 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3188&r=39518#review39518 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3188&r=39518#review39518 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 02:57:35 GMT <p><i>THEBEERGUY submitted this review of the Samsung Nexus S 4G:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Well... another phone that is suppose to be " the s#-+" and rolls out king turd!

The camera app is very nice, although a dedicated shutter button would be better. There is no optical zoom, but I don't mind. Call quality is very good, enough that I can use this phone in place of my land line, even though I live in a semi-rural area. Your experience may vary, of course.<br /><br />My biggest complaint is probably the 4G. It never seems to hit its full potential, even when I'm in the city where there's supposedly full coverage. I have a similar issue with wifi. Even several feet from my router, I never see all bars filled. I guess this is a known Samsung issue. I was unable to get the Nexus to connect to my router until I updated the router firmware, but after that, all was OK.<br /><br />Some other issues: sometimes the on-screen keyboard resists presses of the spacebar. I have to touch it several times before it responds. No other keys do this. I hope a future update fixes it. A couple of times I have lost all internet connectivity and Sprint wasn't much help, but removing the battery for several minutes fixed things. I wish the battery took a charge more quickly, but it's not a big issue. The USB cable tends to fall out of the jack, which if you don't notice it means the battery runs down. This is mainly a problem in the car.<br /><br />On the whole though, I've been really pleased with this phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3188 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3188&r=39325#review39325 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3188&r=39325#review39325 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 21:51:24 GMT <p><i>pliable submitted this review of the Samsung Nexus S 4G:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This is my first smartphone ever, and I'm so glad I picked this one.<br /><br />To start this off, I must say I had to exchange my first unit due to a defect (the touchscreen would not respond to input at times). However, once I realized it was a hardware issue and not software, I completely fell in love with this phone.<br /><br />Pros:<br /><br />- Quite fast in all aspects<br />- As a software developer, I love the pure Google feel to the phone. It's nice not having a bloated OS.<br />- OLED screen is amazing, and looks quite beautiful even in the sun.<br />- The native Google apps are amazing and run silky smooth<br />- Google Voice Search is basically the coolest thing since sliced bread.<br />- NFC/Google Wallet will be absolutely amazing once it's more widespread.<br /><br />Cons:<br /><br />- Software seems a BIT buggy at times, and will require a force close. However, this is more than likely due to poor programming of those applications, rather than with the phone itself.<br />- Battery life. Perhaps I just do many intensive tasks on the phone, but I can't seem to get this phone to last a day without needing to recharge.<br />- Plastic-y feel compared to other smartphones. This isn't a huge con, it just means you need to be a lot more careful with it.<br /><br />The only reason why I'm not giving this a 5 is because no phone is absolutely perfect. However, I did a lot of research before I purchased this phone, and I'm very, VERY glad I did. I would argue that this is by far the best Android phone on the market today.<br /><br />I highly, HIGHLY recommend this phone! :)</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3188 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3188&r=39314#review39314 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3188&r=39314#review39314 Mon, 30 May 2011 19:39:39 GMT <p><i>Simply_Eric submitted this review of the Samsung Nexus S 4G:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I've made the move to the Nexus after having the Evo for about a year. I have nothing against the Evo, its still a great phone, but I really appreciate having a phone with just about zero bloatware and wifi hotspot capabilities without having to pay extra for the functionality. <br /><br />I agree with others who state that you're probably better going with another device if this is going to be your first Android phone. I spent a lot of time customizing the phone to obtain the same feel as what the Evo and HTC Sense provides out the box. I knew that was going to be the case going in and don't look at it as a downside but it definitely helps to be familiar with the Android OS.<br /><br />Pro's<br />Google only apps out the box<br />Unlocked WiFi Hotspot at no cost<br />Fast and reliable<br />16 gigs internal memory (some say this is a con but that's a ton of space for apps and with things like Pandora, Audio Galaxy, Jango etc there's no reason music should be eating up a ton of storage these days-for those trying to figure the math its 15 gigs usb storeage-1 gig internal and then subtract the amount of memory needed to power Android hence why the phone displays 13.31 as the available space)<br />Ultra-crisp SuperAMOLED display<br />Fairly decent battery life, draws as much as the Evo with actual usage but handles standby better<br /><br />Cons-<br />The phone has some kinks that need to be worked out with its wifi. The hotspot works good but it just won't stay connected to my home router for very long at all.<br /><br /> That's the lone negative I can say about it as everything else works great, though Google could use a design team to step up the quality of their widgets. That HTC clock is missed especially with access to the timer/alarm etc one touch away. Downloads kinda make up for it....but not quite. <br /><br />The Nexus is still a great phone regardless and will be loved by anyone seeking a pure Google experience in their device.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3188 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3188&r=39313#review39313 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3188&r=39313#review39313 Mon, 30 May 2011 17:57:34 GMT <p><i>speed4evr submitted this review of the Samsung Nexus S 4G:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>The Nexus S 4g is an amazing phone.

Netflix works great.<br /><br />4G signal seems to not work much at all even in a major coverage area. I'm more likely to use WiFi at home anyway. Does not work with MLB At Bat for streaming video like T-Mobile version. Was kinda excited about this and Netflix. Speaker is kinda quiet.<br /><br />Google voice is pretty terrible. It starts taking over your text messages so the only way to get messages on just the SMS app and not Google voice is to turn off Google voice integration. I went back to dialing 1 for voicemail. Really miss the Sprint visual voicemail.<br /><br />The phone is so nice though despite those things. The simple form factor, screen, and speed are great. I already have a car mount, an there's tons of accessories since the T-Mobile versions been out for a while.<br /><br />The Hero got so old so fast it could not run every day stuff like Angry Birds. I actually really like the built in 16 gb of storage. When I had a phone with an SD card I never once took out the 16 GB SD card and hated having to pay extra for it.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3188 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3188&r=39239#review39239 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3188&r=39239#review39239 Mon, 16 May 2011 16:28:11 GMT <p><i>dan327 submitted this review of the Samsung Nexus S 4G:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I replaced my HTC EVO 4g with the NEXUS S 4G.<br /><br />PROS- <br />-Brilliant display very bright and crisp.<br />-Camera takes excellent pictures and videos.<br />-Smooth body very easy to hold and handle.<br />-Gingerbread OS with no BS apps!<br />-4G is FAST!<br />-Snappy response for browser and apps.<br />-Keyboard is improved on the new OS.<br /><br />Mediocre-<br />-Battery life isn't too bad considering what the phone has to power. <br />-Signal was better on HTC EVO but that phone also seemed to generate more heat during calls, the Nexus S 4G does not seem to do this.<br /><br />Cons-<br />-Hot keys on bottom of phone are easy to accidentally hit.<br />-No SD card slot.<br />-Only 16GB of non-expandable storage space.<br /><br /><br />The Nexus S 4G is a vanilla Android device on a more secure CDMA network.

I would advise against this, I believe having the HTC Sense or Motorola software overlay helps to get used to the android platform. I also just switched from an EVO, and love the vanilla android! <br />I was always running out of space on the on board RAM on the EVO, I don't think that will be an issue here! Though I noticed that it lists the total memory of the usb drive as 13.2 GB, as opposed to 16, and .96 GB memory on the device. Still doesn't add up to 16GB on my calc. <br />In any case, I will miss the Sense keyboard, but there's apps for that. I won't miss having nearly two of everything, as in pre-installed apps from Sprint. Some of the features of Sense will be missed, but not enough.<br />4g reception is great here in Burbank, and the speed test shows well against the EVO 4g in a side by side drag race.<br />There's kinda like a Goldielocks experience going on with the size. I liked the EVOs size, and the nexus is just a touch smaller, but it feels just right, and I also like the layout of the keys on the bottom of the screen. <br />I already have a camera, so I didn't buy it for that, although I do appreciate the front facing camera for Qik, Skype, and Fring, which I use.<br />So, all in all, I think it's a keeper, I am very pleased. Lighter, a touch smaller, and outperforms the EVO in a lot of ways. I must add, I don't think this is a phone for first time Android users, but for the experienced, it's a wonderful device!<br /><br />Pro's:<br />beautiful screen<br />Lightweight<br />Vanilla OS<br />Speed<br />stereo and usb jack on the same side of the phone<br /><br />Con's:<br />5 MP camera?

Knowing that NO cell phone is perfect...<br /><br />GOOD:<br />1> Excellent AMOLED screen- a pleasure to read websites thats for sure.<br />2> Great call quality (so far)<br />3> Perfect? size for a smart phone- not a big brick but even with a case is a nice size.<br />4> Whiz bang of the "pure google" interface is impressive. And it is fast- I see no lags for anything.<br />5> Of course Google Apps and eco system.<br />6> Battery seems to last pretty well. Downloaded for 2 hours- 40% left.<br />7> Small thing but I like the easy pushbutton way with dot "counters' when switching screens. Its the simple things!<br />8> The promise of bigger and better software direct from Google.<br /><br />BAD:<br />1> NO MISSED EVENT ALERTS?? Really? This is just crazy on a top tier phone like this.<br />Wheres the app that glows the screen at 25% when you have missed an event?<br />2> no HD video on the camera? and no optical zoom? Not even 2x? The camera does take better than decent shots though.<br />3> Fixed 16 GB could be better-but reallymaybe costs them $2.00 more for 32 GB? Samsung could just call down the hallway and make a deal with their Micro SD division...<br />4> TERRIBLE - in my opinion - default keypad. Small keys in Portrait mode and noticeably milliseconds slower than other keypads. I fixed this by downloading Swiftkey that is MUCH better. Remember coming form the Palm I had very nice mechanical keys.<br />5> No dedicated camera keys- cameras are just as important as the phone itself- Google didnt make the camera a priority.<br /><br />I believe that I will love my phone but the minuses are fairly significant. Since I eliminated #4 I still cant believe that this phone has no LED for missed alerts- thats a no brainer and may be a deal breaker for some. V 2.0 will include this and 64gb on board memory and a better camera with HD</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3188
