So yeah, my OG Droid is finally dying a slow death. I miss tons of texts now. I get texts from Verizon people but not from others. Sometimes my texts don't even get delivered. Weird.

Anyway its pissing me off and my "discount" if I wait til 12/24 is $50. BS. I was on the phone with a Verizon store and they offer $50 discount on accessories so close to a wash there. The Nexus was originally supposed to go on sale tomorrow but its been delayed. She wouldn't give me a date (or couldn't). Tech nerd blogs say it might have something to do with an LTE outage in the northeast.

Anyway, might just bite the bullet and get the Razr this afternoon.

So we just left the Verizon store... the Nexus is delayed and they wouldn't tell us when it's coming in. Only thing he could say is "soon".

My wife is gonna get a new phone and give her X to my oldest son. She wants to wait and try out the Nexus... and it's either that or a iPhone 4s... she doesn't like the Razr.

Turns out i'm eligible for an upgrade too... but my company doesn't have the money right now anyway...

So we may be getting a Nexus next week.. we'll see.

I really didn't like the lack of sd card on the Nexus. Doesn't make sense, unless they have a better one in production for release early next year, ala Apple.

Then again the Razr doesn't have a removable battery.

Oh well. "on vehicle for delivery". Can't wait :D

Ive been interested in the nexus as well, however, Ive been hearing the galaxy s2 thats out now out performs it in most all the catagories...better hardware, better camera etc. Sounds like the only thing nexus has over s2 is a slightly larger screen, a curvy design and android 4.0. the android 4.0 is alot more significant in the difference, but s2 will be able to upgrade to 4.0 when it comes out. Im starting to think that in the long run, Id be better off with the s2. Has anyone else looked into this?

After reading more on that Nexus, I don't think it's the phone for my wife... too cutting edge.

I also don't understand why they put a 5MP camera in it and only 16MB of internal storage? That doesn't make any sense to me.

The logic behind the 5MP sensor is the zero-shutter-lag for the camera. No more missing the smiling baby because the camera took too long to snap the photo.

Also, the US LTE version is confirmed to be 32GB. That should be plenty of storage I would think (for most).

The Nexus outperforms the SGSII in benchmarks, ymmv though. But no doubt the SGSII is a badass phone. Verizon is my only viable wireless option where I live so I'm waiting for the Nexus.

Looking like the 15th now for release unless the fuger gets pushed back again. Gimme the damn phone Verizon!

Thanks, didn't know either of those things. Now if we could just get our hands on one to check it out...

Here's a review of the US version... basically they love it except the camera. The camera is fast but the quality is sub-par when compared to other, even older phones. The GSII is faster on most applications, but they say the Nexus is still very fast. Why doesn't Verizon carry the GSII?

All this talk has me wanting one... but I'm still very happy with my X and don't really want to spend the $300. If anyone sees them in Verizon stores post it... cause I want to go play with one.

galaxy nexus is way over rated.

the only thing I like about it is the 1GB video ram, videos will rock on that thing.

but the stuff I use more like the camera (id rather have a better quality pick that took me a couple tries than a less quality one that is easier) and browsing matters more to me. I got an Iphone but I wanted an android. problem was I was already using itunes, icloud and I had a nice $200 docking station already for my ipod. The 4s isnt bad, and there is so much poo you can buy for it, still it sucks hard as far as it's limitations.

I know the ICS operating system will be the poo but I know it will have bugs as usual with cutting technology. Maybe an android next contract.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
