Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Google Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Launched!

I don't think it makes sense either.. If you are concerned about rock chips and the like then you probably would invest in the car equivalent of a phone case, a clear bra.

That would be a closer comparison to a screen protector...only difference, the screen protector will not turn yellow over time.

I just don't know what they are going to do about the four buttons on the bottom of all the other phones when they get upgraded to Android 4.0???

Since ICS is most likely going to be skinned (TouchWiz, Sense, etc.) I'm expecting the OEM's to have an setting set up where the user can pick which set they want to use. I'm sure some people will still want to use the search button and have external buttons.

The lack of SD card support is a letdown, but only the lack of a removable battery would have made me consider not getting this phone. 32GB should be more than enough for me.

Is it certain that it has no hdmi port? That is one thing I really wanted on my next phone:angry:

Hands on reviews are starting to pop up on the web and it looks like the following is CONFIRMED: (sorry for no sources... laptop battery about dead)

1. YES: Removable battery with SIM card slot
2. NO: HMDI port
3. NO: Expandable SD memory card slot

In my opinion, these make the Razr look more appealing (slightly).

It will most likely have what the GS2 and some of the HTC phones have.

It's a tech called Mobile High Definition Link
Mobile High-definition Link - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You have to buy an adapter like this:

HTC Mobile High-Definition Link Adapter | HTC 73H00394-00M | Data Cables
One end plugs into the phones microUSB port and the other you put a full size HDMI cord into.

Look at the links a few post above. It is the same.tech the GSII is using. It is apparently so since they were using hdmi mirroring at the event tonight, on stag live.

I was wondering also since most sammy phones lately have had a mhl port. but overall the info of the actual phone was horrible. TI has confirmed its a 4460 processor since they didnt manage to state that either. definatley not buying this on day 1. icecream sandwich seems to have some nice features but the phone part of the presentation didnt overwhelm or underwhelm i guess this is finally the just plain whelm we have never heard about. and now we cant even get release dates on the announcement of device presentations

Outside of the camera (well the display is wicked nice, too), that presentation was mostly ICS. I have a suspicion that if the RAZR isn't unlocked sooner rather than later (remember, Google is buying Moto), it will get ICS pretty quickly. Google will probably just throw Sammie a bone with a few months of exclusivity - I say RAZR has ICS by the end of January, possibly sooner.

Ditto with Bionic

It probably comes with HDMI, I missed the presentation, but could they have been using DLNA?
