Feel bad for everyone else if this is true.

So glad mine is a "yakju" version, ordered from Handtec in the UK.

This is just one more reason they keep shooting themselves in the foot. If a bigger screen iPhone ever hits, there will be a mass exit from Android

Really sucks as Samsung has been friggin SLOW to get GB update on my Charge. if true changes my interest to get nexus as next device. Id avoid any more Samsung phones that depend on them to update.

I just got my GNexus today. How do I find out which kind I have?

it's more than just yakju's updates coming direct. also mysid, VZW's CDMA version. here's the original info:

Reading that thread, does say very clearly that he doesn't know how this affects where the ota comes from and that for all he knows ota will work as usual.


If I read correctly, he's saying that aosp will not support region specific features. Makes sense. The Japanese GN for example includes the earthquake early warning app, and maybe that requires some framework or some other changes? I don't know but just throwing that out there. It makes sense that such changes would not be in aosp and thus couldn't be built by cm or other people in custom roms.

From there it's easy to assume it means google can't push out an ota...but nobody knows for sure yet.

Whoa, lots of drama there.

And if there is a mass exodus to iPhone then the world will end.

How's that for drama?
