Nexus Instead of Rezound? - Release 12/15

[didiwags]

How are you Rezound owners digging that battery..... that small battery. I'm still on the fence which to get.

I had the Droid X and had to buy an extended battery for it. I have yet to break down and but an extended yet for the Rezound. Just have an extra charger.... The X's old one lol

Yeah I've got the X now with the extended battery. I think I probably get one regardless of the phone I choose but right now that Rezound is looking real good to me.

I cut my teeth on the OG droid and hold that in the highest respect, simply because it did what all Android phones should do. Give you every level of customization you ever wanted. The ability to make the phone yours...if you will. Every UI to me just mucks with that ability. Thankfully large chunks can be knocked out in favor of the things we like better or work better for us as individuals. Apparently I missed the UI train and that's why I don't get it but I'm ok with that as long as people(HTC, Samsung, Moto) stop trying to shove their UI experience down my throat. And if HTC gives us ICS at all, I will eat your Rezound

Please, eat your own Rezound if this happens. I'd like to enjoy ICS.

Extended battery for the win on Rezound! Hard to beat 24 hours on a charge...
Heh, do you imagine users will feel that the GNex is still thin (over the Rezound) if so many of it's users suddenly realize they have to upgrade it's battery this week too? Why would they need to...it's a perfect Google phone right?
Imagining all the GNex users thinking it is so awesome...until they get their first OTA update within 2 hours of activation and they see their battery go down 15% from one download lol. It's up to ICS 4.0.2 at least by now...in a way that's an advantage about updates over Gingerbread but we have iBeats to compensate haha.

So much hype on that phone, I can't wait to see the nitpicks of disappointment from "the best phone evah!" users....oh wait...no NFC? Oh I am out of memory and cannot expand the SD card? Why do I have 2/3rd the pixels of an LCD....Pentile you say?

May as well call them Sammysheeple...so now call me a HTCheeple and proud of it with my first smartphone lol. Now where is the camera white balance fix???

Never understood the mentality of people who try to justify their purchased to the point of being blinded.

The phone is hyped because its the only Android device with Ice Cream Sandwich. It really is a beautiful phone. Now whether its the "best" is subjective. NO phone is perfect, they all have flaws.

The Rezound is a little thick, doesn't have the latest OS, and by most accounts has battery life thats decent at best. It also doesn't have full root access yet. Wouldn't be a dealbreaker if not for Sense. Whether you love it, or hate it, stock ICS is an improvement over EVERY manufacturer skin available.

The Nexus is wide as an aircraft carrier, has a lower ppi than the Rezound and doesn't have expandable storage. I'd also figure it has better battery life than the Rezound given the efficiency of Super AMOLED.

Simply choose whats right for you. Buying a Nexus doesn't make anyone a sheep. Just means they liked it. Personally I have a Rezound arriving today, but I'll try out the Nexus as well. If the Rezound had ICS today, I'd probably not even bother with the Nexus.

I think both are good phones....with extended batteries in each I could live with either happily.

Extended battery seems to be a necessity.
