Galaxy Nexus

So, as I impatiently await the release of the next incarnation of Android on a badass piece of machinery I was wondering if anyone here is waiting along with me?

This phone has gotten lots of stellar reviews since it was released in the UK yesterday and I can't wait for Verizon to get their heads out of their asses and get that Nexus in my hands!

Supposedly it's going to launch on Monday, November 21...

I'm waiting to see the Nexus before I upgrade too. I saw a review from some mag and they were playing around with the RAZR, the Nexus, the ReZound, and one other phone. Raved about the Nexus. They said it was narrower than the RAZR, almost as thin, huge 4.6 display. Loved ICS and said it was the first phone that felt like the OS was specifically designed for it. They did mention the back of the phone is flimsy plastic and felt cheap.

Before I hold the RAZR and the Nexus in my hand, side to side, the differences I see are RAZR has SD card slot but no removable battery. Nexus has no SD card slot but removable battery. RAZR is really thin, Gorilla Glass and Kevlar, so its tough and it looks cool as crap. Nexus has the awesome screen and will have ICS out of the box. RAZR is supposed to get ICS update in early 12.

Rezound. You get Beats earbuds with it. Other than that dunno.

The Verizon website says I can upgrade at a "discounted price" whatever that means... and that I'm eligible for an upgrade 5/03/12.

Nice review there catfang... does the Nexus not have Gorilla glass? That battery pull thing might be an issue too... wtf do you do if it locks up? My X locked up last night and I had to pull the battery on it.. :mad:

Yeah, I can upgrade now at "discounted price" which isn't that much of a discount. Verizon emails me about every week to upgrade now. Seems like they are trying to get rid of all the 3G phones and early model 4G phones at fire-sale prices. My full "new every two" upgrade is Christmas eve. I'll wait til January. Or maybe Boxing Day :)

Not sure about Gorilla Glass in the Nexus, but since they aren't advertising it I'd say it doesn't have it. I like the reviews of the build-quality of the RAZR. One thing techhy nerds mention in comparing Nexus vs. RAZR is that the Nexus is "pure" Android, no Motoblur add-ons and stuff that Motorola clogs up their phones with. As a rooted Droid user, I like the simple clean OS idea.

    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
    • I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.
