Incomming!

Well, time has come. I will be arriving with my newly acquired Galaxy Nexus. Mostly because im an impatient person and dont want to wait until September for the Galaxy S III. Got this thing for $270 brand new. Figure I will have some fun with it.

Look forward to joining the ranks, my first Nexus device. I leave you this as a gift...all hail the greatest voice in music.

Hey @DroidDev, I think I remember you from the Fascinate forum, right? We have about the same join date. Anyway, I just got mine last Friday. One of my favorite things about the Fascinate was the screen, and this one is no exception.

 

[DroidDev]

Yeah, I was on the Fascinate for a while. I loved the screen on that phone. Im heading down to pick up the GNex after I get off work today. Gonna root the hades out of it. Buddy of mine thinks im nuts for getting it. Maybe I am, idc. I'll just take the gamble that I dont get a lemon.

Im thinking of flashing AOKP and the Franco kernel. Im getting the 2100 ext battery with it, just for good measure.

Welcome and great choice.
Love this phone.

 

[DroidDev]

Thanks baker. You guys got the phone brewing coffee yet? Cause if not, all bets are off!

 

[anon(596177)]

No on the coffee, unless you have a wi-fi enabled brewer


But on a serious note, you will love the nexus on AOKP and franco's. I'm running AOKP right now myself, very good ROM.

If you come home after draining the battery all day long, flip it on to wifi, hook up the battery charger, watch an hour of netflix, flip phone over so back is exposed. You can set your cup down on top of the phone and 5 minutes later usable for hot Tea.

Refreshing to see someone hell bent on rooting and romming.

Meant to ask, where, how did you get the $270 deal?

Oh, private sale from an Apple iPhone owner, he had it for 3 days and decided he hated Android. They are the best for buying Android Smartphones from. Honestly. Cheeeeeap.

Wow! Gotta say I'm surprised. You seemed like you had some serious reservations about going down this road. What changed your mind?

Honestly it was the price tag and Verizon's decision to cap data. That and the fact I had the chance to test drive this one. Absolutely NONE of the issues people are talking about.

I am more than enjoying this phone in the couple hours I've had it.
