Honestly i'm not a huge fan of the physical design, but the UI looks nice
also with the processor at 1.2mhz really not helping either
1.2 or 1.5....I really don't care all that much. Main thing is the optimization to utilize both cores. Looks i4s...its only 800mhz and its fast

All true, but i'm still waiting to see the power of the battery and it's internal storage. The only major things i like about this phone is that it's pure android and that it will release with ICS. If the battery is weak and the internal storage is low, i'm either get the SGSII or wait til something else comes out, cause i got a feeling the Galaxy Nexus is gonna be waaaaaay overpriced for pretty much the same specs as the SGSII, but with ICS(which is nice, but i can wait for the release on the atrix or SGSII) plus it's goin to Verizon first and i'm with At&T soooo........

i don't have a problem with the camera being 5mp, now with the processor stratax cleared that up for me, but no sd card slot, and a 1750mAh battery is gonna disappoint a lot of people just like the nexus s, which is a great phone but could've been better with an sd card slot for people like me that store a lot of music, videos, etc on their phone. My atrix replaced every other device i had(ipod, digital cam, psp) with the 48gbs it holds. But i do believe the Galaxy Nexus will be a great device, just missing a few things

as for the camera that is true, mp are marketing pretty much. software can make it look better than 99% of 8-12mp cameras out there. hahaha there is no sdcard slot? so many people didnt get the nexus s because of that. you'd think they would learn.. that is the same reason i didnt get the sensation because of low storage. i use my atrix as the same. most of it is music and games lol. which takes up a ton. how can a company make a entertainment device with low storage -_- unless it has like 64gb of storage i wont be happy with it. maybe 32 would be fine but still, im sure it will be expensive.
Am I wasting my time thinking AT&T will subsidize the version with their bands?

Why take **** out when it was already their in the first place
All these missing features were already on galaxy S phones and shouldn't have been removed
BTW i have 16GB on phone and 16GB on my external SD and its combination on nandroid, titanium, ROM back-ups/ custom config files/ Themes /720p MKV/AVI movies/ Gameloftgames/MP3s/PICS/PS2, SNES..ect roms/Sub directories for programs all this crap adds up
....Sorry no porn
Sure you dont need all that stuff on hand but its quite covenant not to have to hook up to PC all the time to move **** back and fourth to make space
But yea i could probably manage fine with 16 GB thats why im still debating on getting it
I for one will buy a Nexus S on the 16th! I can't wait! I can live with all the other "shortfalls" that everyone is complaining about.

You got a good point but I have noticed lately that they have been giving alot of props to apple.
Do you think that they are trying to steer the phone makers in adopting these decisions LIKE taking the sd slot out?
Plus maybe these decisions where in the favor of the google devs. Which means since a dev phone it will be sold the same way.
ORRR even better the budget constraints....all these extra things cost money and Samsung thinking this device is going to be sold to a small market share they pulled all the things that make it a multimedia device out of it...
We may never know but you can explain if you have a better idea.Im open minded i'd like to hear some speculation =D

Stop making excuses for Samsung and Google.
This is a Vibrant with a curved screen running on Gingerbread. Nothing more.
I fail to see this as a worthwhile "upgrade".
Im standing up for my self I dont care about making excuses...Ive owned a Vibrant and wish to get stock on it.
Plus SGS phones have faulty GPS and before you even say that they fixed it or even bash me for the excuse. Know that the maps application is a huge part of the Android OS and I would gladly say that I would fork over 550 for one that works and not 500 for one that dosent.

At first when I saw the lack of HSPA+ i thought about not getting it, but after comparing the speed of my G2 (temporary until Thursday) to my just SOLD nexus one, there was no difference (same 3mb down). It is going to take some good time untill tmobile goes over 7mb ( at least in my area).
I will be second in line after you buddy..
Yeah I live in a HSPA+ area and my friend was comparing his speed to my sisters MT4G and he was laughing at her when his HD2 pulled the same 4megs a sec so im good since its as fast is it will be here...

Exact copy of the GSM Nexus S except for the CDMA/EVDO/WIMAX
Fromg the google blog:
It features a 4” Contour Display designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand and along the side of your face. It also features a 1GHz Hummingbird processor, front and rear facing cameras, 16GB of internal memory, and NFC (near field communication) hardware that lets you read information from everyday objects that have NFC tags.
In addition, today we’re excited to announce that Sprint customers will soon be able to take advantage of the full set of Google Voice features without changing or porting their number.

Because its a Google supported phone / Google dev phone. All software comes 100% from Google directly. Samsung doesn't touch the software. It will get almost all future updates until the hardware cant handle the software. The Nexus One, which is pretty damn old now, just recently got official Gingerbread, and will likely get Ice Cream.
Yea but what he meant is...
Thanks to the hardware similarities we wont be far behind them in updates so why pay all that money for basically the same phone w/o a keyboard when all these Beastly phones are about to be released it would be a waste to get hardware that is outdated by the time its even for sale 8)
I personally hate physical keyboards now. Mine is just wasted, unused bulk.
True Google software is worth it for me. Dual core CPU's aren't even close to being utilized in smartphones yet anyway. Not until apps/software are written to support them.
The Hummingbird can still hold its own.

Because by the time dual cores become actually useful to people who don't play with benchmark tests, you are going to need a new phone anyway.

This. If I could survive another year with my Evo I could do so easily with the Nexus S. Seems pretty tempting. Might not be the most epic of upgrades ... and no LED notifications / removable storage is pretty silly in all honesty, but its a step up in other manners.
Too true about the tablet, too. I want a Xoom but not sure I even really need it at the moment. Was thinking about using some of the return on one but I'm not too sure. Time will tell. Hope the Evo3D is cool, don't doubt it'll be a beast.

Why do they keep rebranding the gs series?
And they keep taking little features away like the led in the nexus s or the lower cam resolution in the galaxy nexus.
I hope google gives motorola or lg the next nexus. Id like htc, because they did the nexus 1 SO RIGHT, but with the direction they've been in since the n1, I don't tink that'd be a great idea.
They'll most likely pull a samsung and just slap a nexus moniker on their latest and greatest and take away sense and call it a day.
Google needs to put their hands on the nexs development because this is just stupid. The only reason to own a nexus is to hve the latest software. Wtf?
The nexus one made you want it for tehardware and software.
It was ahead of its time.
its still viable! The nexus s? LOL! **** was outdated the day it was announced.

All they did was "take away the led features and lower cam resolution"...
Big deal! Motorola doesn't have any leds on their devices I've seen! And if they have, oh well. That's the beauty of android. There's so many of them.
And just because it's 5 MP doesn't mean it's crappy quality at all. Megapixels don't mean a thing! Look at the Epic 4G. It has a 5 MP camera but it's a thousand times better than the Evo 4g or even the Evo 3d's "8 MP" camera.
Stop whining. The galaxy nexus is gonna be a great device still. And don't blame samsung for everything. Google helps too, you know. If they wanted an 8 MP camera to go with it, I'm sure they could've asked for it.
Only thing I don't like is lack of SD Card. I think OMAP4 is slower than Exynos too.

Yeah, but if there's a 32 GB version then I'm fine.
Also, remember that ICS is optimized for dual core, so it's definitely going to be fast nonetheless.
The Galaxy Nexus isn't amazing, no. But it brings the best android OS to date with a great phone to go with it.

Yes. You can also just sync your CWM and/or Titanium BU folder to your desktop.

Nice. But then Sprint gets a copy of all your data and custom ROMs when they keep your bad phone. Giant electromagnet maybe?

A nice size rare earth magnet will do.

Notification LED on the Galaxy Nexus
According to this article, the Galaxy Nexus does have a hidden notification LED.

magnets really have little if any effect on flash memory, so there's really no way to get in and wipe the internal storage on a broken unit, without tearing it apart and bridging the leads (not a good idea)
also a phone not having a sd slot makes it feel too much like an iphone, so i'll pass.. =P

So basically it probably won't be a huge improvement over ICS like it was from GB to ICS.
Well that was to be expected.

Google does it agian much bigger improvment then IOS 6 from 5
sure it is
the benefit to 4.1 is project butter. No more lag and 60fps.
Looks nice. A themed ics
Big question is when will we see a 4.1 rom for vibrant?

man, i'm sure we will see it! It doesn't seem too different from ICS, but MP noted to me earlier today that even if we DO get 4.1, PROJECT BUTTER might not be compatible, and thats pretty much the BIG thing in 4.1, so it might not be as big as we plan.
Aw! That's what I was afraid of. Our vibrant might not have the guts for project butter. God dammit that would suck. Next nexus devices should be coming this fall right? If they price it to compete like they have tablet has been. I'll pick one of those babies up.
Well, Project Butter is just kernel changes etc, isn't it? Doesn't seem like it would be a hardware limitation unless it needed drivers or something
SG Nexus already have it.
We'll have it by next week. :good:

Yeah I was disappointed with the galaxy s3 so I'm holding out for one of the rumored Nexus devices this fall as well. Hopefully they'll have the option to allow upgrades so we don't have to buy an unlocked version for $599.

Apparently, according to rumors, there is supposed to be FIVE Nexus devices this year. I hope it is from all different manufacturers. Samsung,HTC,LG,Asus, and hopefully Nokia but that is unlikely.
Also, read up here, http://phandroid.com/2012/06/28/no-profit-in-nexus-7-pricing-says-rubin/
The reason the price is so LOW is because Google wants a clear pathway into the tablet market with this Nexus 7. A tegra 3 device at 200$? That, no one is daring to do but Google. They took no profits from the device, but I'm sure they will get something out of it since
1) market share increases
2) their own company value increases
3) if anyone uses the internet on any device, you can be sure as hell to see a google ad somewhere haha

Hopefully you are right, I was just saying that as MP pointed it out to me, but he was also unsure of it. Just speculation.
