Can we fast forward a few weeks.....I would like confirmation one way or another if its coming to VZW.

Personally I think we are all junping to conclusion with the size of this phone. Maybe it will have buttona, and maybe even a thick bezel. The Infuae doesnt have that much bezel , but is still really big. Also, we have to take into account the aspect ratio of this device.

Assuming it won't have the buttons and has 16:9 screen ratio I believe they could make it as "small" as EVO. I was hoping it would be more like Nexus S size, but with 4.6' screen I guess that's not going to happen.

What I find funny is how Evo is now considered standard, and for many people anything smaller is unacceptable (yeah I know, that's what she said ). Yet when it was announced we heard the same cries of horror about gigantic phones.

I don't know if anyone has pointed this out yet, but I just remembered that Eric Schmidt teased the Nexus S at the Web 2.0 Summit last year. Most Nexus Prime rumors seem to point to October as a release date. The Web 2.0 Summit is being held from Oct. 17-19 this year, and Vic Gundotra (Social SVP for Google) and Susan Wojcicki (SVP of Advertising for Google) will be speaking there. However, considering neither of those Google execs deal directly with Android, its a slim chance they will announce anything Nexus related there.

Also, the Asia D conference is being held from Oct. 19-21, and Andy Rubin will be in attendance. Therefore, it may be more likely Andy unveils the Nexus Prime there.

Interesting, but hoping for an earlier announcement

Ive got a question, what do people think about the chances of the Nexus Prime having an SD card slot for expandable memory via s microSD. Someone at work today told me the Nexus 2 didnt have one, only had internal memory. That would really suck to have hardware like that with no expandable memory.

Anyone care to speculate?

Anyone care to speculate?

My guess would be that it will have at least limited expandable memory. The cloud argument has merit, but we all know that concept is in severe infancy. For google to rely solely on that would be naieve.

Look for 8 GB expandable, and a good size on board memory drive.

 

[EggoEspada]

I'm willing to bet there will be no expandable storage and include at least 16GB of internal memory. Hopefully 32GB though.

 

[ibejack96]

hehe... my idea of a perfect phone

 

[bplewis24]

A lot of posts in that thread include LED Notification. I hope Samsung gets the memo.

I would trade expandable storage for it.

Remember, don't blame Samsung...Google designs the phone, Samsung just slaps it together.

I, like the majority of the rest of Samsung's customers, still don't understand why it's such a big deal. I know what it is and what it does, but a lot of people consider it a deal breaker, which makes absolutely no sense to me.

I don't understand the big deal with the Nexus S because you can use BLN after you root. I don't miss it at all. Without the buttons to flash, I would want LEDs

I don't care to much about the expandable memory. I personally have just the 16 gb memory car that my Epic came with and its has never been full. I had at most 10gbs full b4 i emptied it onto my computer. what I would want is to be able to plug in my External Drive into it and use that as my expandable memory. Also I hope and believe that it will be 32gbs at least and maybe even 64 but that wont happen.
Sammy will have the GSII with 16 gbs and expandable memory to 48gbs so this should be 32gbs. I dont see the crazy need for the flash notifications. If your phone is in your pocket when your out how will you see it. Sorry but this feature is 1 i can care less about....

However, it should also be noted that last year Google released the Nexus S too late and largely missed the holiday shopping season. I don't expect them to repeat that mistake.

Doesn't Samsung (and other companies) design the prototype, and then Google just chooses them? I never knew Google designs it and then the company puts it together.

 

[Scottatron]

Google doesnt "design", rather they outline requirements and makers submit their prototype, as far as I know anyway.

 

[Johnly]

Design, outline? Engineer, all on a close field.
