DigitalE Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I'm looking to buy an Android phone in the $100-150 range, and a used Nexus S seems like it might be my best option. This phone will be a secondary device to my iPhone. My requirements: Either Sprint or T-Mobile (4G is a plus) Able to run ICS/JB GPS for navigation Any thoughts?

BobSlob Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Still a very good phone, and recently just got the official JB update. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1093103-is-the-nexus-s-still-competent-today/#findComment-595024573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
still1 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 still a very good phone... JB runs smoother than ICS on this device. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1093103-is-the-nexus-s-still-competent-today/#findComment-595024587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growled Member Posted July 23, 2012 Member Share Posted July 23, 2012 I'd get it if I had the chance. Still a good phone . Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1093103-is-the-nexus-s-still-competent-today/#findComment-595024647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneNutter MVC Posted July 23, 2012 MVC Share Posted July 23, 2012 Yup i think you will be fine with it, its a good price and has just got the 4.1 update officially. Even if Google decided not to give it the next version of Android it still has a massive following on XDA, so the phone will have many quality roms regardless.

DigitalE Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 Good to know. Now if only I could find a T-Mobile Nexus S for under $200.. :/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1093103-is-the-nexus-s-still-competent-today/#findComment-595026665 Share on other sites More sharing options...
still1 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Good to know. Now if only I could find a T-Mobile Nexus S for under $200.. :/ I would sell mine for less than $200 if google have released the next Nexus. You should see a lot of Nexus S sales when google release the next Nexus.

DigitalE Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Found a T-Mobile Nexus S (GT-i9020t) on Cowboom for only $150. Thanks for the advice, guys. Can't wait to play with Jelly Bean!
