Not a "real Nexus?" WTF?

**mr.wizard** · 05-10-2012, 08:26 PM

Its still a Nexus. Its a dev phone. Only took 5 min to unlock the thing. The difference is the CDMA code not under open licences. Thats why we wait

I don't think the "not a real Nexus" people are ever going to change.

LOL so please show me where Google calls it a Development phone. This isn't an officially supported Google development device. Remember, the big deal when Google turned it's back on it and all the other CDMA pretend Nexus devices.

Now the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha, That is a development phone.

If you call Verizon they will personally tell you Google is solely responsible for pushing out updates. Google will tell you the same. It is a true Nexus through and through.

It is the newly defined nexus......Verizon stamped fool.

So it's a development phone now? I just checked the list of officially supported Google development phones and there strangely is no mention of the CDMA devices any more.

Does this mean that the term nexus now applies to non development devices also? Lol This device is completely destroying what nexus used to mean.

The phone is a nexus. It's called a nexus. Google says it is a nexus. If it doesn't fit your personal definition of Nexus, then that is that.

Official support through and through defined the nexus.

It doesn't fit anyone's personal definition. None of the advantages of owning a Nexus are there except the removal of OEM skins. Lol Nexus used to mean the best of the best. Like Bold, You buy a Bold and you know it's the best BB available at the time. Didn't matter which carrier you bought it from. Now Nexus means Meh unless you are on GSM.

Does it fit your personal definition? If they had named a jitterbug a Nexus would you still like it? I guess so since it would be a Nexus right?

When people asked for a Nexus on VZW they wanted the benefits seen from the other GSM Nexus devices. Not just a name.

Cool story, bro. You should tell Google to stop calling their phone a "Nexus".

Ah poor guy couldn't come up with an explanation for that one. Yep its Google's phone alright. Yet they don't put their name on it any where and they don't sell it themselves. Lol

See you had the phone I own confused with a GSM GALAXY Nexus. You know the Nexus that has "Google" on the back and is actually sold by Google and IS a development device. I know it's confusing.

Yes sir it does 100% fit my definition, which you can find here: What does "Nexus" mean to you?

Not going to argue further because anything else is just subjectivity.. If you define it differently then I'm not going to change your mind.

No. It's a true Nexus. If you read instead of glanced at my aforementioned post, you wouldn't be asking that question.
