Dude, the Nexus is always a pure vanilla unlocked experience. It is a developer phone afterall. If it were locked down and bloated it would be called a Droid!

Yes i understand this. but it has always been. you underestimate verizons ability to screw things up. Of course we are hoping they dont screw this up but until verizon doesnt screw its customers i have little faith since that has been their pattern over the last year.

Wait, my phone is from Verizon and isn't locked down. And I call it a Droid.

In what way has VZW stuck it to its customers? You mean taking away our unlimited data? Do you mean charging an arm and a leg for LTE? Did you mean no new Androids because all they are pushing is the IPhone?
You are missing the point. Nexus is Google's phone. They put Android's reputation behind their Nexus phones. They will not allow Verizon to screw this up. If Verizon wants to put their junk on this phone, Google will not let them call it a Nexus in any shape or form. That's why we've never seen a Nexus on Verizon. Verizon wants to make their money. Google wants to keep it pure. Not really a match made in heaven.
Until I truly see something official from either Google, Samsung or Verizon, I won't believe Verizon is getting a Nexus. Not their style. Droid Prime more likely...unfortunately. But, I'm hoping Verizon surprises and delivers what most of us here have wanted for loooong time. Tomorrow night is going to be big.
Maybe no illegal tethering? :blink:
Now Now.... this isn't going to turn into a tethering debate thread!
Anyway, it's been a long weekend involving the most vicious of viruses I have ever witness and/or been victim to(watching to spread person to person over the course of three days - I now fully understand how quickly the Zombie Apocalypse can/will occur) but now I am somewhat back... looks like a have a few links to add to the top posts.

Flu season already? Not looking forward to that yet :icon_eek: BTW, enjoying your bionic yet?

Not sure if it was the flu... everyone that had it this weekend (10 people that I know of) was back on their feet within 18-24 hours, but during those 18-24 hours we were hoping for an early death.
As for the bionic... it is still in the box. After the big news day tomorrow with the Razr and Nexus I will either fire it up or setup an eBay auction or see if I can hock it to someone on my Facebook.
Lol, you could at least try it out
The only thing I'm missing on the D1 is chevno1's roms. I don't miss lag though

From a Reddit post about the Nexus (it offers a summary... link to the thread at Android Central is included as well):
"Basically this is a summary from this thread: galaxy nexus hand time - Android Forums
Someone got their hands on one for a bit and it WILL be the phone we have all hoped it would be:
LED notification? Yes.
Removable battery? Yes, according to the OP, 1900mah. Says he is still slightly unsure since it was the last thing he looked at.
Dual LED Flash? Yes.
8MP camera? Yes.
Thin? As in thinner or around the thickness of the latest iPhone? Yes.
Dual Core? Yes, 1.5Ghz TI OMAP
Weight wise? Very light.
SD Card slot? No idea, says he didn't look/find one.
New LTE modem inside? Yes. Said he got 25/10 during a test.
Apparently this thing has a touch sensitive bezel that allows you to make the software based ICS buttons disappear and reappear. The touch sensitive bezel is where the physical buttons would normally be.
He explains that the 720P screen is extremely vivid, unlike anything he's ever seen before more so than the retina of the Iphone.
Found that it had a Chrome like web browser on it which makes sense given that ICS is suppose to incorporate Chrome as it's new browser.
ICS is extremely snappy according to the poster. iPhone snappy. Probably due to better CPU optimization with ICS and Hardware Acceleration (finally!).
He also describes the feel of the phone as being unlike any plastic he has ever touched form Samsung. It's Plastic...but it feels "futuristic." That's the word he used. Some kind of new plastic or something. He said it feels high quality and not cheap. He mentions that metal as been put in to the phone for added support/stabilization.
Anyways check out the thread if you'd like. I just took what was in there and threw it up on here as a summary of sorts."
