LG Optimus 2x or Google Nexus S ?

I've been on Fido for a long time. I've also never had a contract with them. I just bought bought phones new and that's it. Last phones were Iphone 3G and 4.

I got a new contract with WIND now. I am being offered the LG Optimus 2x or Google Nexus 2. Also BlackBerry Curve 9360... but BlackBerry isn't for me.


Just wondering what the best phone would be to get. The LG looks more appealing but not too sure on the Nexus.

thanks

I would chose the Nexus S over the Optimus any day. Only thing is, the Nexus S is old and if I was getting it through a carrier, I wouldn't spend more than $50 on it. Rumor has it Nexus Galaxy should be on Wind soon.

The Nexus S and Optimus 2x are a free choice apart of a contract.

So just trying to choose between these two.
Going to pick one up tomorrow, just not sure which one yet.

Avoid the LG Optimus 2x like the plague. Search in this forum for a similar thread a while back about this phone. I wrote about my problems with it in there. I sold it asap.
It's garbage.
Nexus S for sure.

Really like the Nexus S compared to my Iphone 4.
Everything just seems a lot more advanced.

I'm using the nexus s also and I used to be a Iphone user. Liked it at first but I really miss the battery life, camera and the Iphone seems more reliable. Oh be sure to download the swiftkeyx keyboard its awesome

I just got the Nexus S and it's much better than the iphone 4 I used before
If you can though I would just wait for the Galaxy Nexus.

Don't really care about age.
Need it nothing more than phone, text, internet, and a couple other things which all phones have.

Camera could be better but will do.

So far liking it. Should be good for at least 2 years. Don't like to juggle around with phones too much.
