- Thread starter dgstorm
- Start date
Umm Yeah OK... You've been around the Forums long enough to know you just can't drop by and use a line like that without backing it up. OH and IF your best friend works for Samsung; Why would you own an HTC phone!? some Friend you are geeesh..

Dan, I'm seeing JAN and DEC. NOV would fit right inline. I can't believe they consistently miss out on the holiday season hype. It would make sense to release during big ticket sales season, not right after it. I doubt my OG Droid will make it to Q1, but I really don't want to buy an end of generation phone.

Funny how history repeats itself. Like the 1984 commercial about the lady throwing the hammer at the big screen showing how apple was breaking the hold of IBM in the computer industry,you could replay that commercial again now with android throwing the hammer at the big screen breaking the hold of apple on the phone industry.

Tis true. My cousin's nephew's aunt's mom's step uncle's kid's girlfriend's dad works for Verizon and he confirms a November release. But he said to keep it within the family.

-[FONT=inherit !important][FONT=inherit !important]Google[/FONT][/FONT] released the Nexus S with Android 2.3 in December of 2010
-Seems that a Q1 2012 release of a hot new device with a cold new OS would fall right in line?

Nope, 2.1 didn't drop until the Spring of 2010. Believe me I know, it was the first time I ever even heard of rooting and all that good stuff. Also happens to be why I joined this forum, waiting for the 2.1 update.
Looks like the Q1 2012 might have been all smoke and mirrors:
Samsung Galaxy Nexus full specs revealed; Verizon Wireless exclusive
Samsung Galaxy Nexus full specs revealed; Verizon Wireless exclusive
BGR reports Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Codenamed “Nexus " FULL SPECS
Samsung and Google will unveil next Tuesday:
Samsung and Google will unveil next Tuesday:
- Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
- 9mm thin
- 4.65-inch 1280 x 720-pixel Super AMOLED HD with curved glass
- TI OMAP 4460 dual-core Cortex A9 processor clocked at 1.2GHz
- 1GB of RAM
- 32GB of built-in storage
- 5-megapixel camera on the back, 1.3-megapixel in the front
- 1080p HD video capture support
- LTE/HSPA depending on carrier
- Wi-Fi a/b/g/n
- NFC
- 1,750 mAh battery
Got ahead of myself... again. There is no mention of release date, so nothing to discount the Q1 2012. But does indicate that this is what will be unveiled next week, which I think is strong evidence against a 2012 release.

I think it's becoming very apparent the Prime and Nexus are in fact two separate phones.
I think we'll know more after Tuesday. It's still sort of ambiguous.
