Galaxy Nexus

Wife and I both picked up HTC Rezounds this weekend - they're our first smartphones (her phone was almost 6 years old), but I've tinkered with a lot of friends' phones and the Rezound is sweet. The only other serious option was the Razr, but neither of us liekd it... screen was "sticky" (maybe that's the Gorilla Glass?), it was uncomfortable to hold and uncomfortable in my pocket, and we both preferred the very natural display of the Rezound vs. the too bright, almost fake look of the AMOLED. I can definitely see why people would like it, but not our thing.

It's rumored that Verizon is including My Verizon and one other app that's eluding my brain at the moment. But nothing in comparison to the amount of bloat on the rest of their phones.

Luckily both apps are available on the Market so I doubt it will affect updates coming straight from Google and you'll probably be able to remove them without rooting.

December 8 is just around the corner now, but if the Nexus is delayed any further I may just lose whatever sanity I have left. Luckily my Incredible is still dependable enough to get me by, but it is showing signs of it's readiness for retirement.

We have the razr. I have no complaints.

Looks like it has started to make its way into Verizon stores...

WSJ reports that it is probably going to be 299 on contract. At that price, you might as well buy it off contract.

I would imagine that puts it at about $650 without a contract.

Most articles I've read point to the release being this Friday. I kind of want to get rid of my iPhone for this.

Yeah, I've seen 8th or 9th, and the 11th. Since 11th is a Sunday, well, that would just be stupid. Can't wait til the 24th, I'm eligible for upgrade.

You considering the Nexus?

[Guest]

Yeah, its between the Nexus and the Razr at this point. Leaning to Nexus but need to hold each in my hand and compare.

[DirtyMagic97]

Yea, I'm excited to hold the nexus. Saw some use of it on a video and it looks very responsive. I messed with the Razr a bit too. It's quite cool.

I still love my Droid X, but I'm craving a 4G Droid BAD... stop talking about it. You're making me want to spend money.

[Guest]

I still have an OG Droid. Its time.

Reports saying it won't get Google Wallet... weird.

[Guest]

I'm not even sure if I'd use Google wallet, honestly.
