Verizon Galaxy Nexus (Prime) Waiting Room

[Officerpolabear]

I wonder where the lock/unlock button will go. Also, the bezel better not be that big on the bottom. If it's the same as the sides of a normal phone, this phone might be even smaller than the 4.3 inch screen phones we're used to.

The unlock buttons, volume rockers, and camera buttons will still remain as physical buttons. How else would you turn on your phone if your unlock button was a software button when your phone is off .

God I hope so. I don't want a Nexus the size of an EVO

Easy. The Nokia N9 running Meego is always semi awake so double tapping the display turns it on and you can then proceed to unlocking it.

Course, a power button is probably still needed because you still have to power off/on the device.

I meant the location, the top like traditional android phones, or the side like the Samsung galaxy s line.

Maybe you will just give it a good shake to turn on. I do hope their are some buttons. I would hate to have a toggle switch for volume... How about pushing in the camera lens or Speaker grill , that would be a cool power button....

There has to be buttons. Remember, we have to be able to get into recovery and the bootloader ;-)

Volume and power keys work fine for that.

If you read the posts he was addressing, you would realize he was clearly referring to those buttons.

That's his point, you can't get rid of every single button like some are implying

Yeah, if you guys remember, they want it to be like honeycomb on tablets. That means you'll still have power and volume buttons, just none of the touch capacitive face buttons (and sometimes physical).

Well this thread has ground to a halt, where are the leaked specs/pictures?

i know - it's turned into an Abbott and Costello routine about buttons...

Google to buy Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion | This is my next...
Does this change anything?

Honestly, probably not. With the amount of time it takes to develop, manufacture, and test a phone, the next Nexus will most likely release as planned, then starting next year we'll start to see the fruits of this acquisition.

Samsung screen, TI omap, Motorola radio.

Make it happen Google!

It'll be awhile before we see the benefits of the acquisition. It's not even going to be finalized until late 2011/early 2012.

I blame myself for this. Sorry guys, I was trying to start conversation on where the power button might end up. Like top, bottom, left side, right side, behind (think xoom). Then someone got confused and replied to me thinking I was taking about getting rid of it like the 4 standard buttons. Sorry for the communication error and the derailment of this thread.

Andy Rubin- We have the Nexus program and the lead device strategy. What we do is we select an OEM around Christmastime of each year -- a chip company, everything else -- and they all huddle together in one building, and around the holidays a new device pops out. That won't change, Moto will be a separate business and part of that bidding process.

On my part I didn't take it as you meant getting rid of the buttons and felt you derailed anything. The threat at that moment was at a halt. So if my comment lead to it I am sorry. I was Quoted but I am sorry if I played a part in it.

I don't think the Merger of G & M will change the Nexus coming this year unless they were the chosen company from before & not Sammy... But Moto's Next phone will be interesting.

% of the next Nexus being a Samsung or Motorola made device ?

With the news today it could be Motorola now, because I always thought Google wanted a different manufacturer on the Nexus each year. HTC was first because they made the G1, and were early Android adopters. Samsung got second Nexus, at that time they were really starting to roll with Android, and getting popular. I assumed after the Nexus-S came out that Motorola was just a shoe in for the Nexus-Three, I thought there was some big buzz last Fall with Motorola submitting for a Nexus-Two but Google chose Samsung instead, so I just thought they would go M this third round, regardless of this buyout news today.
