Verizon Galaxy Nexus (Prime) Waiting Room

[crzycrkr]

While I'm still a little hesitant to believe that BGR article since October is right around the corner, it didn't occur to me until just now that they mentioned targeting original Droid owners coming out of contract which means Verizon might actually get the Nexus Prime if we are to assume that's what they mean when they say "the first Ice Cream Sandwich devices." And if their source isn't the same as Phil's then we now have two separate sources saying Verizon is at least one possible carrier.

If you believe BGR even had a source, which I don't. Their source was theirs own minds.

nothing really new here, altho the analysis is kind of interesting. Intel as the "surprise oem" mentioned earlier in the thread?? idk about that one. i was pretty psyched about a Sammy Nexus; less so about an LG device. i'm not a huge fan of HTC, but the idea of the Krait (and oc'd to 1.8 ghz to boot) processor has me a little excited.

Next Nexus: Nexus Prime(3, Plus) Ready for Prime Time from Samsung, HTC or LG with 2011 or 2012 Release Date? - WIRELESS AND MOBILE NEWS

i'm a little hesitant to believe this report because of all the spelling errors and the fact that no one's even heard of intel coming out with a SOC on a phone soon, let alone the nexus prime

OG Droid owners were out of contract July 6th...

And I am out of contract in sept so will be interesting to see when this comes out and if verizon will try to give me a deal to upgrade beforehand.

Not out of contract yet, we could just take advantage of the 20 month upgrade cycle.

Well let me rephrase: Early OG Droid adopters have been able to upgrade for a month now. The Nexus' demographic is not aimed at people coming off contract from a specific phone.

you are probably right that the Nexus is not directed at a specific demographic. but, i bet they know how many OG's were sold in the first 3-4 months of release (which is quite a large number, i suspect). i don't personally believe that it's mere coincidence that rumors of the Nexus started "leaking" around the time that the OG-launch-buyers were coming up on their 20 months. and, i don't personally think it's mere coincidence that the phone is rumored to launch around the 2 year anniversary of the OG launch. i don't think the OG owners are the only target, but i bet they were in the consideration.

a more significant consideration is, with dual core phones coming out, the desire to have a single OS that can integrate between phones and tablets. imo...

This is dying. I think ICS will come in October/November with a killer device. I just need to keep myself from buying the Bionic or S2 in September. Need some self control:'(

I don't know if any of you are familiar with SamFirmware, but they have very solid sources in Samsung and have released info on upcoming devices including one running Ice Cream Sandwich and sporting a 4.6" HD display. New specs of new Android and bada phones. - www.SamFirmware.com

This is a few pages late, but to address the issue of bias: see tech crunch, they are apple fanboys and write all sorts of idiotic posts that point out anything negative about Google, android included.

Edit:
I just read the ics article on android and me. Since the new market already has some resources for the music store, I'm willing to bet other Google apps will get a similar tiled look and ICS will end up looking like some bizarre menage a tios of GB, HC, and WP7.

Well seeing that At&T just got the Nexus S, I don't see them getting NP for a while

Their source appears to be a listing on a Lithuanian website though. I'd prefer it if they claimed to have their own "inside anonymous" source.

After a quick Google search I found that "GT-I9250" on an official Samsung site. Don't get too excited though, there's no info on it at all, other than it being "Bar" shaped, which we probably would have guess already. I'll keep looking around to see if I can find any other info.

Support for GT-I9250 SAMSUNG

Well according to the site I posted, that's the device that lines up with the Nexus Prime-like specs.

BGR did say 5mp camera

 

[droid1294]

And Samsung, and 720p Super Amoled. Lol, and Phil said 4.6 so it sounds like the specs are lining up.



Yeah, I found that after checking that link you posted, sorry if I didn't make that clear.

Everything is lining up. I wish it had more specs

I don't know... AT&T got the nexus one pretty soon after (at least not this late) and if its gonna launch on Verizon, I would say its probably going to launch on AT&T too.

Hey guys I made a little word document to print out so I can compare the size of a 4.6 inch screen next to my phone. I also played around with it to make it look like my phone. The screens sizes are exact, matched to the correct aspect ratios and sizes on both phones. I honesty don't think a 4.6 inch device will be too big.

attached the doc if anyone want's to print it out.

Well done ipatella. Finally a visual for those who think 4.6 is massive.

You have proved its THE SAME.

While not outright confirmation, I am getting pretty excited about the fact that there seems to be a Sammy phone out there lining up with what Phil said and what BGR reported. And just when I was starting to get frustrated ...
