So this is my take on the Galaxy Nexus right now. I have had, and been an android supporter, since the 1st gen mytouch. I have concerns on the hardware that was decided to put in it. BTW, has the OMAP been 100% confirmed? I know I was hoping for 1.2 to 1.5 duel core exynos or better, better gpu then my current vibrant, expandable SD storage, 8+ mp camera... I really dont think was too much to hope for. Android really could have delivered a blow to apple.
gotta say, im hoping that google is making these sacrifices on hardware for a really good reason... such as how the Omap processor, old gpu, and 8mp camera are somehow going to be amazing on this phone and would be better then newer hardware...? I am really praying they used these specs for a reason. I mean they would have to right?, considering its gotta push the 720p large screen, i cant figure out why that gpu (same as my vibrant).
Im just hoping they used this hardware for a specific reason, and really hoping this thing is buttery smooth and fast as hell. I have friends buying iphones, and this nexus better be damn smooth (on home screen too) to show them that android is not laggy. I know hard ware acceleration was rumered, have we found out?
also, this would have been the perfect time to blow apple out of the water. they released the 4s which is just an updated 4, this was googles chance to grab every one on the fence about which to buy. I, and many others, were hoping that it would have had 1.2 or 1.5 duel core exynos, at least 8 mp camera, SD slot, larger battery; and then add all the ICS benefits to make this the best phone hands down ever made.
I will probably get this if it comes to tmobile, but I think google/android missed a rare opportunity to blow apple out of the water. Why could they just have not given us better specs along with the new OS so that we can convince some of those people on the fence to buy android and not iphone?
I really want to see some more good hands on videos with this device, US carrier release dates, and some really good reviews

what are your guys thoughts on these points?
