The Official DF Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release Thread

[sbenson]

I NEED AN ANNOUNCEMENT BY FRIDAY SO I KNOW IF I WANT TO RETURN OR NOT. VERIZON IS KILLING ME!!!!!

Sorry, I just wanted to add absolutely nothing to the conversation. :icon_ banana:

Patriot, I urge you to return it. I think you'll regret being cut by the Razr...

Trust me I don't mean to belittle anyone I'm just saying I don't think google web team is so "stupid" to make an error like that when they KNOW they hold the hopes and dreams of all developers and tweakers alike. Google didn't become a multi billion dollar empire by making stupid mistakes on the web page

I see what you are saying, and I respect that, but I also know that a) mistakes can be made and b) there could be other justification for it.

I have a hard time keeping up with what each carrier calls their newer, faster, next generationer Network... but I don't think Verizon is the only one calling theirs "LTE", right? Is it possible that one of the carries is only getting a 16GB LTE model and to rather under-sale than over-sale, they just knocked off the 32GB option until it is officially announced?

On note of warning (and I think this has already been pointed out, but I will again) - Droid Life posted this article yesterday:

Verizon Compares LTE Phone Lineup to AT&T, Still Shows Galaxy Nexus with 32GB of Storage – Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog

And since then it seems like every other blog has picked it up and re-upped it making it seem like a very important fact that the 32GB is listed.

NOTE: The picture itself says that it was up-to-date as of 11/1/2011... not exactly hot off of the presses info.

So there you have it... one message in support of possibility of the 32GB possible and one against. haha

You need to understand that web pages like this get updated all the time. What you see today could change tomorrow. Until Verizon confirms details, nothing should be assumed as concrete facts.

The whole video with The Verge saying its 32gb for Verizon was enough to have me convinced since him and Martias Duatre or however his name is spelt had talked about it.

I don't know about anyone else but I'm thinking about jst settling for the razr or switching carriers and getting the gs2. Just tired of waiting.

MEH....the more I read about this phone and the Razr, the more I think I'll wait for a Tegra 3 device. Based on what I'm reading, Tegra 3 will help lessen the impact of LTE and screen size on battery life and (hopefully) the LTE network / radios will be more stable. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to get a cutting-edge Verizon world phone that isn't an Apple product? IMO, the next generation of ICS phones could rock!

My OG is working fine. Want a new phone, but, in no hurry.

Alright, took some time to catch up on the rumor mill. The 8th looks legit, I can wait another two weeks. I'm also holding firm that Verizon will be getting the 32gb version.

I think he realizes that and was just point out that chalking up there only being a 16GB version on the website to "stupid web-devs" was a poor justification, which I agree.

But so far it feels so good!

Don't be tempted by the dark side... it feels good now, but it will consume you from within and fill you with hate!!! Listen to Yoda!!!!!!!

By all means, if it meets all of your needs 100%, then keep it. If you have any doubt though, I think you know what to do.

Deep down something tells me that non-ICS launch phones will take a lot longer to get official ICS updates than a lot of people are hoping. If you stick with the Razr, you might need a custom rom to fill your belly with ICS.

A lot of us here have been collectively discussing this phone for months now. It would be nice for the majority of us to stick together, get this phone and then build a D1-esque community for the next 2 years.

^^That's what I'm hoping for.

^^^ I agree. Moto was talking out their butt if they think they can skin Blur over ICS in 6 weeks. Im sure they can, but the mass of bugs will make it crap for another six months.

ICS is a going to be a breath of fresh air for me, coming from froyo and gingerbread. I'm looking forward to the new visuals and interface, among many other things. I don't want this experience mucked up by Motorola, HTC or Samsung, no matter how great their skin may or may not be. I just want a pure Google base experience which I can build upon to get the Android experience that I need out of a device. I understand that the manufacturers need to differentiate themselves but I really wish they would give us a choice. Think how much better the D2, X, X2, Bionic, etc would have been if we had been given the choice to have them pure Google.
