Nexus is here....

I just saw it at the Verizon store.. they can't sell it till tomorrow.
I held it in my hand.. very weird with the curve.. will be great with the ladies..
Will go back in the morning and put it to the test next to my SR..
From what I can tell the only thing good about the phone is ICS..
*EDIT*... Okay.. went out eariler and saw this "wonder phone"... I brought my sr to compare..
People.. this Nexus is nothing.. feels cheap, and feels smaller then the SR.. I can't tell the difference in the screen except mine looks better.... ICS is the only selling point on this phone.. Could I feel a 'difference" well. stock to stock yes. But with different launchers.. etc.. I can't tell my phone from the Nexus..
If you want to pay $300 for a sub par phone with ICS by all means go ahead... I'm keeping the SR.

I just got the email...released today for sale (15th)

I was really considering buying one of the gsm versions then I did some research and found out about the galaxy s2 hd lte which is pretty much the same phone but without ice cream sandwich, but I keep comparing and found the deal breaker, the galaxy nexus does not have micro sd slot which is a android first for me. Sounds like some apple maddness, plus I got a 64gb microsd so that just docent work for me. But hey to each his own

Verizon did a poor job at releasing that phone.
I thought the nexus was going to come out around November so I waited.
My Moto atrix screen was cracked and I couldn't wait any longer. I don't regret buying the Samsung skyrocket best phone I owned so far....

Im tempted due to ICS but in the end it isn't worth switching to Verizon and paying money for a phone that really isn't any better just for ICS .

I had Verizon and the service was subpar. AT&T works amazingly for me with speeds. After owning an iPhone I don't want another phone without an SD slot.
ICS will be available soon enough on our SR.

Engadget (first link that came up on google) says:
...this tablet / phone in-betweener is said to pack a dual-core 1.5GHz MSM8660 -- similar to the HSPA+ 42 and LTE-friendly Qualcomm chipsets found in the Skyrocket and T-Mobile's SGS II. Bear in mind, folks, that this is all still hearsay

Samsung Galaxy S Blaze?

So here we go, another Samsung/T-Mobile fail. Why do they always do this. They always bring out the same headset with just some minor changes.
Why not get the Galaxy Nexus already?
If T-Mobile didn't have such good customer service and cheap plans I would of cancelled a long time ago. We always seem to get the short end of the stick.
Guess what's gonna happen when this is released. Even less development, that's what. Grrrr.

Lol. Havent you guys ever noticed art and tmobile always get similar counterparts as far as phones go. Don't know why people complain and say they get more. We got amaze and they got rezound. They get this new HD and we get blaze. They have similar bbs and other phones. Just throwing out my perspective. Oh and stop *****ing and just don't buy it. Don't people keep phones for more than a year now.

Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

The most puzzling thing is that it has the same specs as the T-Mobile Galaxy SII, but is branded as a Galaxy S device.

I'm sorry but as valid as these responses get thus is ridiculous. Just return the phone and wait if it bothers you so much. This phone prob won't be out for another six months. By then when you buy it some "better" phone will be announced. What are you hoping to buy that is future proof?

Yeah, this one should come with ICS since there is no Nexus yet, but of course it won't.
Like previous post it has the same specs, but this one will probably have an HD screen on it. #lame
I doubt this will be out in six months, I'm guessing Feb/March.

It seems to me like this is a dumbed down version of the GSII. First of all they are calling it a "Galaxy S" instead of Galaxy S II, and the screen is called "Super Amoled", but not Super Amoled Plus or HD.

i just hope this isnt what T-mobile is getting instead of SGS3, that will be my next phone even if i have to buy it un-locked, the Nexus has ICS but comes with so many fails in my eyes , not enough for me to sell my SGS2 and get one

lol first the skyrocket HD now this? What the hell is going on, there's like 10 galaxys out..

Yeah, the next phone i get will be original. As in the original sgs3, or nexus 4, I'm done dealing with upgrades etc.

Samsung probably figured out how to fix our screen issues with the lines and blotches and decided that instead of admitting fault and having to fix all the sold phones with the issue they could just release a new model with no issues and a better res to make money instead of losing it... guess ill probably wait for the galaxy s3 hd blaze... n this whole galaxy fiasco is starting to remind me of the iphone adding a letter or number to the end without really even upgrading anything in the phone

[Q] Would you do this trade?

Hello everyone I thought about posting this in the Nexus section but decided here would be better. I just recently traded my Rezound + $60 for a Galaxy S3 which I feel was a really good deal. The phone came with everything and a really nice case and a ghost armor screen protector.
Today I was messing around on craigslist, and seen a guy offering a great condition Galaxy Nexus(Verizon) and Galaxy Tab 7" 1st gen(Verizon) both with cases and chargers.
My question is would you do the trade with your S3 if you had the opportunity.
Thank you guys for your help in advanced!!

No, not at all. Maybe in a year, but not while his phone is basically unbeatable.

I wouldn't. The tab is too old, and the Nexus really has poor battery compared to the S3.

We have a first generation Galaxy Tab and it's nice, but more or less stuck on Gingerbread. Great for parties or long trips that can keep the kids and/or their friends occupied.
Adding that up with a Galaxy Nexus does not give you a S3, IMHO. Your daily phone would essentially become a Nexus vs the S3 and I've not read of anyone who considers them in the same ballpark in that regard (despite the Nexus' positives).

Thank you guys very much. I think I will stay where I am and grab a nexus 7 for my tablet needs.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

I also have a nexus on my second line and it's a fantastic device, but it totally outclassed in every way by the GS3. I would keep the GS3 and play around with JB on it. I've been using JB on it the past week and rather like it even despite the occasional hiccup.
I have yet to install JB on the Nexus but seeing as it is not my phone, I don't think rooting it is a good idea.

You must go to some pretty lame parties if you need to bring a tab to entertain you...

Lol yeah I actually had a nexus before I got my Rezound and liked it but it had issues with data while in my house. The Rezound and now my S3 do not. Loved the nexus but with getting great battery life with a huge screen is hard to beat lol

[Q] Phone to replace my NS i9023

Hi,
I believe the title says it all. I was pretty sure my next phone will be Google Experience. I really love the community and opportunities with this. I had Sony Xperia for about a month and it was terrible with support. But Nexus 4, apart from being much more expensive when bought from a shop and not from Google (which doesnt sell to Czech Republic), has one thing that I really hate - a battery that cant be easily replaced. Im used to carrying one spare (or more when on a longer trip) on me and I can easily switch them even when staning on a crowded bus. I couldnt do that with N4.
So, do you find this to be such a serious issue I consider it to be? And what other phones would you recommend, please?

Galaxy Nexus. Or hacked Galaxy S3 as a second choice. Maybe an HTC One X with CM10 could be a really sexy phone too.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

Galaxy Nexus would be the best, no doubts. Don't go for N4, it doesn't seems to go good so far. A few bugs have already been discovered.

Isnt it a bit ... big ... ?

If u wanna stay nexus, go galaxy nexus, the prices should even be lower due to the n4 being out
Sent from my awesome Nexus S

The Nexus Series has its own reputation and of them all, its Development support. While the Nexus 4 is claimed to be bugged with buzzing sound and no Out-of-the-box OTG, it couldn't be considered better than the Galaxy Nexus. The same being the reason for me to buy Galaxy Nexus too, in a month or two.
I too find Note series a bit big for a smartphone to carry in our pockets. No offense to anyone's opinions

Sadly, no because the new flagship doesn't even intend to stand near the Galaxy Nexus. But the price is fine enough for such an amazing device. :highfive:

I think Note 2 is the best choice!

I would go for the Galaxy Nexus. :good:

Galaxy Nexus is €295, Nexus 4 is €458, its more than €150 difference. And the inability to change battery with N4 is bad too. Looks to me that I will go for Galaxy Nexus.
BTW should we even talk together? Your country keeps our citizens arrested for espionage!

Keep in mind that the galaxy nexus has poor battery life.

Sad to say goodbye..

Hey guys. It's sad for me to say, but I just sold my One X tonight. Someone offered me a price I couldn't refuse. I just bought a Galaxy Note 10.1 so I may also get a Samsung phone to match.
I will miss this community dearly! Like I said in the 'Introduce Yourself' thread, this has been the best experience I've had on XDA since I joined. I hope you guys get JB soon. The wait was tough. If someone wants access to the files of the theme I made a while back I'd be glad to hand it over.
Take care guys!
P.S. I usually don't keep a specific phone for too long. I end up getting bored with it no matter how much development there is. It's just that there's so much different tech out there that I try to use as much of it as I can. Maybe it's my OCD, but I think it's just my love for technology lol.

I'm thinking of jumping ship as well. I've received 4 consecutive faulty replacement devices, and they won't let me switch. It may just be high time to sell it and start fresh somewhere else.
But, this isn't about me! Haha I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

No problem IPhones is a solid piece of hardware. I have the 4s, if it had a bigger screen I'd use it as a daily phone. But then again I get bored with a device after awhile so I'm thinking of trying win phone 8 for awhile.
