Verizon Galaxy Nexus (Prime) Waiting Room

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.
 
I just had a realization that may or may have been covered in this massive thread:

It makes perfect sense for VZW to release a Nexus phone (one that is bootloader unlockable in some form) on 11/27 or around there; all the OG Droid owners who got that phone in the first month it was out (release date was 11/6/2009) will have their 2-year contracts coming to an end! Maybe VZW realizes all those customers suffering with ailing Droid 1's will only finally upgrade to something worthy and unlockable...

And since most of those customers will likely have an NE2 available, VZW will be tempting them with the Nexus to get rid of any remaining "free"/"heavily discounted" upgrades.

Makes sense to me, but let me know if I got something wrong...

goldkear;1159210. It's been said before said:
that's an interesting thought... The Nexus S looks just like the Epic4g IMO and is very similar to all the Galaxy phones so if Moto were to make the next Nexus i can see it looking a lot like the Bionic. The original look of the Bionic was changed and left for Sprints Photon. It looks a lot like the Bionics old look with just straighter corners to me.. With the rumors being 4.6 inch screen and the new Bionic 4.5 its a possibility. Just remove the buttons and ad a larger screen... Nice,,,,

Droid 1 owners who bought in nov. 2009 were able to upgrade in July. 4 months early. This works for anyone who bought a phone on a 2 year contract in march 2010.

I can confirm this, my upgrade became available in July. Interesting theory though. :p
 
yeah...but who really cares enough about the iP5 to speculate about it?!?! ;)

All they are gonna do with the next iPhone is make it a little bit faster, a little bit thinner, add ANOTHER camera, and make a white version after it has been released for a year :)

Sure, we could upgrade in July, but if we don't, we can *leave* Verizon in November. The Nexus Prime would be a powerful incentive to stay.

yeah, they are going to add a flash too, oh, don't forget a twitter button!, since twitter has supposedly been integrated into the OS now!, yeah, apple will call it orginal, who cares if the "share" button on android phones has had the twitter option for years now, right?

You've seen that Apple-biased graph that one guy posted in the forums a while back too?

Wow. Well I'm defiantly looking forward to that. Hope it offers solid info on the device or even a picture of a prototype.
 
I'm a Sprint user and If this is the Nexus used on all carriers then I'm not to sure about this one. I feel like I would HATE a 4.6 inch screen. I would want 4.3 at biggest. 4 inch on my Nexus S 4G is great. Beside that all looks well, if we see a Sprint version ;)

Its really 4.3. the .3 is for the on screen buttons
 
Bingo. Everyone keeps complaining about the 4.6 inch screen. It's probably not bigger. It doesn't have buttons! You haven't even seen a leaked picture yet people...

I don't even want something that size. The form factor of the last 2 Nexus phones is perfect.
