why 3gs or Nexus S? The nexus S is miles better... a closer comparision would be iPhone 4 or Nexus S

Why no WP7?

Nexus S by miles! (The 3GS is a generation behind and priced to make people push for the iP4)

But I'd recommend waiting for a few months for the Galaxy S2 (if your buying on contract)

The biggest power draw on all smartphones is the screen btw.

Nexus S.

Nexus S.

SGS2, or Nexus if you don't want to wait.

most voted for Nexus S? why?

my friend has an iPhone 3gs, works perfect. no lagg. he even ran loads of apps (and didnt even realise that he could close them) ..battery lasted long..

Nexus S? the battery went down to 66%...after 5-6 hrs (charged fully in morning). because of display screen and some music. tho i dunno about lagg. since my friend recently bought it.

iPhone 4g? lol..ever since this phones been out...people have problems using it. from what ive heard.

as for WP7? never heard of it. never on adverts or anything =/
i googled it .. lol ..a windows phone ..mm...thats bout all i know xD

The Nexus S battery should last you a good ONE hour at least, you dont go far, do you?

DELETED_83755 · 3 Mar 2011 at 20:02

I have tried the iphone 3gs, Nexus S and iphone 4. The best device overall would the iphone 4 which does most things well. It came to price in the end and I went for the nexus S.

If I had to choose between last generation iphone (iphone 4 is current) and current generation android device for the same price, I would go for the latter.

so u chose Nexus S. was it cheap or something?

why iphone 4? yes its got better camera and front facing cam. and better resolution.
but wernt there problems with that phone? signal cuts off etc.
caused a big problem to people. =/

can anyone list the prices of the 3gs, Iphone4 and Nexus S? (sry i havent really bought a phone in 3 years, =/)

maybe this will help me decide. also i want a PAYG phone ..so no contract.

o yh..the SGS2? dont think il be wanting that =) its prob gonna cost over £600 =/

nvm i done some research:
also..3gs is 32GB....(for £300-£350)
nexus only goes up to 16gb (for £430 that my friend bought)
iPhone 4 has 32GB but its around £500-700 (last time i checked...on ebay) =(

surely you people would go for the 3gs right? 32GB....around £300....

on this page...(a review)

someone said FF and ebay doesnt run as well in nexus, =/
i will prob use ebay and FF a lot. =/ (how inconvenient)

Amp34 · 3 Mar 2011 at 22:23

Or you could get an iPhone4 from Apple direct for £500 or £600...

adambro47 · 4 Mar 2011 at 01:29

So you get your information from the chimps on eBay?

People who write - FireFox & eBay appz don't work that well... Shame...

If you had even bothered learning the first thing about the Nexus S you would know that even if those apps were rubbish (they aren't) it wouldn't be much of an issue.

Nice.

I think you need an iPhone, save your pennies son.

i mean like ...why did u all go for Nexus S?
-because its android?

reflux · 4 Mar 2011 at 10:17

Out of 3GS and Nexus S, I'd say Nexus S. Much better hardware tbh.

KIA · 4 Mar 2011 at 10:27

3GS as iOS still pwnz hard.

"andy" · 4 Mar 2011 at 11:36

nexus s or iphone4

the 3gs wasnt worth buying for most of its lifespan imo

Russinating · 4 Mar 2011 at 12:45

Are you 12 or foreign? Either way your posts are impossible to read.

You asked for advice, the majority have recommended the Nexus. Why are you then reading random reviews from idiots on eBay? :confused:

And is there any reason why you're buying outright rather than on contract?
