That may be true but a 4th that is stronger and faster might be better. Exynos!!! I say the more the merrier, especially when this helps with keeping cost down.

don't forget about Krait - once that thing gets in the mix, it could be lights out for a couple of them.
with all the rumors popping up about release dates for the Bionic, Strat, Vigor, etc i'm really salivating for some more info on the Prime. after the BGR report, i really thought we would start hearing a little more info. i'm still in for the long haul, tho (as long as it's not Bionic-type haul, that is).

Black Man X just gave a cryptic twitter message that was deleted. It said "I Scream, U scream, we all scream, on 11/27." So it sounds like ICS will be coming out late November, and more than likely on this device. His follow us tweet mentioned the LG Optimus, so maybe LG is making this phone.
It could also mean Optimus Prime, hence, the Nexus Prime. LG could still be making the handset though. It all depends on how well Phil's source turns out for the info. Hate to say it, but time will tell.

BMX, maybe/maybe not intentional, but it sounds like you're pretty confident the Prime will be out before the end of the year?? this would make me very happy, and would free up a lot of my time spent on these forums debating what device to get...any more insight on the rumored specs??
BMX posted earlier in this thread, quoted above. i tried to coax some more info out of him, but no go. that latest tweet sounds intriguing, and his earlier post about devices "coming this fall" would certainly coincide. but, 11/27 is a Sunday. Black Friday is 11/25, so that would make more sense. not overly thrilled with the idea of it being LG, tho...

Yea, I'm going to have to replace my device well before November, but may buy it out right if it's amazing enough and isn't made by a third rate company like LG who has only had one real hit so far.

i can hold out. my OG is screaming again with Steel Droid 8.0 and PE 6.5! i'm thinking "merry xmas to me!"
I'd be very... unsure whether to get the next Nexus if LG made it. I like to give every manufacturer their fair shot, but I've heard a lot of bad things about LG smartphones.
Also, I be psyched as hell if the Nexus Prime released on 11/27. It'd be like if Google made it to be my birthday present! (My birthday being 11/28)

I for sure would be able to hold out, if my damn charge port wasn't giving out. My OG droid just won't cut it if I have to downgrade to it.

get a battery charger that you just plug into the wall. i think amazon has them for about $5-10. i use one to charge my spare battery - works like a charm!

I would rather it be Samsung than LG but Jerry did speak really highly of the LG Optimus 3D. That is sporting a TI OMAP processor too. My birthday is exactly 2 days before yours on 11/26. And your right, what a nice birthday present!!

Appreciate that post. Because of that bigger display, I hope its an edge to edge design and there are any physical buttons. Would make the design much cleaner and compact.

Google has made it pretty clear that, starting with ICS, it will be doing away with physical menu buttons. instead, those menu buttons (menu/home/back/search) will be part of the software and will appear on the screen. so, it is pretty clear (and kitten's calcs make it more clear) that the jump to 4.6" in screen size will not noticeably increase the physical dimensions of the device.

They said it would be optional, and I was under the impression they were speaking of tablets. So they meant Android devices in general? Defiently interested in knowing they pull it off.
Man, thanks a lot for that post on the display and the BMX tweet. I just don't know if I can wait until November for a phone that I don't know details about (LED Notification light...NFC?).
I can wait til September for the Bionic/Stratosphere. I may be able to wait til October for the Vigor. But end of November? Every day I look at my OG D1 and wish it were my backup/media device, and not my primary phone.
*sigh*

KittenMittens: Welcome! That was the greatest first post I have ever seen on any forums in my days. Hang around; we need more people like you.
Using your calculator, I figured out the PPI of my enV Touch's screen: 310.98 PPI. WVGA in 3 inches. I hope that we see densities like this from all the upcoming phones!

Very nice KM. Mow all we need are the rest of the specs and a release date. I would like to hear something before I break down and get the Bionic or Function.
Im hoping its not LG, I havent had good experiences with their phones...I would really love it to be HTC because of build quality, however Im going to have to care more about screen technology in this case...and so I would want it to be Samsung, so i can drool over a 720p SAMOLED screen
Wouldnt it be amazing if Google brought all the manufactures together to make one amazing development phone....HTC for design, Motorola for materials, and Samsung for screen technology...now that would be a dream

I have been following this thread for a while, but it's gotten pretty gigantic so forgive me if i bring up something already mentioned.
First of all, beings ICS is meant for both tablets and phones, it would make sense to have a large screen tabletphone type situation. it would also make sense to have both a new nexus phone and a nexus tablet in order for google to set the bar on both kinds of devices for their platform.
It's been said before, but it wouldn't make any sense for samsung to use TI chips since they like to keep everything in-house, so it's likeley someone else. I would prefer motorola over LG, because in every LG touchscreen device (both smart and dumb phone) they have had sluggish response times (my dare was more responsive than the revolution I played with) Also, it fits with google's MO to use a different manufacturer since they want as many people on board as possible. I'd be really interested in what a Moto nexus would look like, since the nexus one still fits in with HTC's current designs, same with nexus s and sammy (though that should be obvious since it's still on shelves) if it did end up being moto instead of LG (which is what it looks like is the consensus these days) it would be so different looking from the nexus s, going from so round to (likely) so boxy This, of course is all hypothetical. If it comes to verizon though, it would be weird for moto to be building 2 very similar devices for the same carrier. I just really don't want it to be LG. maybe SE (rofl)
as far as release date goes, if it's in november that would mean an 11 month release cycle on nexus devices, putting the next one after this in oct 2012? i feel it would be more likely to be in december and continue to be a winter release schedule. I guess as long as it comes to verizon, i'm happy since my upgrade isn't untill december 19, not that that really matters since i may buy off-contract anyways, depending on the state of data plans.
