Verizon Galaxy Nexus (Prime) Waiting Room

[nemov]

Nexus One was Google's first device. Verizon could say no.

With Android and Google now, Verizon cant tell them no.

Huh?

Put your money where your mouth is.

I tried this and you know what? It's hard to talk with a mouth full of money.

Don't take this as a challenge that the Prime isn't coming to Verizon and that it isn't coming soon. But Cellbrite doesn't always mean much...

HTC????? Yikes....does that mean a back-lit panel? There is also a Hero???

Huh?

Google and Android have grown a lot over the past few years. At first, they didn't have a lot of power or market share, so Verizon could tell them they changed their minds....

Look at Android and Google now. You can't all of a sudden drop their phone and tell them to f off anymore.

Kind of a "dont bite the hand that feeds you" deal. Not sure if I am making any sense still......

One of the few questions left lingering for me is: is Verizon going to actually sell and subsidize the device or will it be sold through Best Buy? In one of the few people that actually like to buy directly from the person selling it.

Also, I can't believe we went this long without seeing the Prime at all. And its only less than 2 weeks from unveiling. Crazy. Kind of glad though, it gives us a nice surprise.

Agreed on all counts haha

Didn't the Droid Incredible replace the Nexus One? It's not likely that Samsung would go with another device at this stage after the whole situation with GS2.

I don't think they will. I'm just saying the Nexus One was originality slated for Verizon too (BMX even has one) which is why it was in the Cellbrite.

Just pointing that out to quiet down the people saying "well the Nexus One was in cellbrite and it wasn't for Verizon, don't get excited for the Prime..."

With rumors of the iPhone5 being insanely thin at like 6.5mm teardrop up to 8mm, and having a 4.3" LG screen, the Nexus-Prime has it's work cut out for it design wise. If the Prime is a solid 8.5mm thick will that look bloated and brick size in comparison now ?

All the solid rumors on the iPhone5 keep saying it is very very thin, with a large screen.

 

[SpaceHippie]

Phone's are getting TOO thin imo. I like where the prime is going. My hands may be too big for an iphone lol

What you are missing is that people are comparing apples to oranges. Nexus phones have their updates provided by Google. Samsung phones with touchwiz have updates come from Samsung but the carrier can get in the mix (read: delay). I also think we have been having a bit of trolling lately. It maybe on purpose or just stating opinions but it hasn't helped move the conversation forward. When the Nexus comes out, go to the store and see for yourself and make your own opinion.

You actually have explained part of my confusion. If ota come.from google rather than samsung perhaps my concern about updates.
As for the build of samsung I think some people confuse lighter weight with cheaper build. I don't. I put the phone in a case anyway so a decently built phone is pretty safe. I love the samsung screens but purchased the tbolt for simultaneous speaking on phone and data.

As for visiting a store to see one I expect to win one in the contest here so I won't need to leave the couch!

I dislike super thin. My x is perfect for me. The contest of making the thinnest phone is silly to me. Thin phones are hard to hold.

Well the Iphone 5 is also rumored to not have 4gLTE, and the rumors of the screen from what I've seen put it at 4, not 4.3.

Again, these Nexus vs. iPhone comparisons are just ludicrous. No one knows the Nexus brand. This is getting tiring.

Lolwut? The next iPhone won't be anything like that, I can tell you right now. Also, I wouldn't consider 8.5mm 'bloated' by any means in these times. But I doubt we'll see the thickness anywhere under 9.5mm with the Prime IMO.

My various thoughts:

I highly doubt the iPhone is going to have a 4.3" screen or even 4.0", but I honestly don't care.

I don't need super-thin either. Actually the Bionic feels excellent in terms of shape, feel, ergonomics and weight. If the Prime is anything like it, that would be fine by me.

I thought the Nexus One was coming to Verizon but was eventually cancelled. That's not the same thing as it being a completely off-base rumor that never materialized. Does anybody remember for sure?

The nexus one on vzw was coming, people even saw it on Cellbrite machines, but it was killed at the last minute for the very similar Droid Incredible.

Give people the benefit of doubt and realize Samsung phones are light because of thin cheapy plastic and it's easily felt when holding them.

I agree 100%. I will have to see & play around with the VZW Nexus Prime before I make a decision if I want to retire my Droid X. If it's too thin, too plastic, or doesn't have a LED notification light & micro sd slot, I will probably just hold out for the next dual core LTE phone from Motorola or HTC with similar internals.

I really want a stock Android phone but not bad enough to compromise on other features I want just to have one.

 

[Johnly]

Pincil thin and no large lumps, keep it up Sammy. Can't wait for this product!

Yes, my "cheapy plastic" Nexus S has ten times the build quality of my EVO. People do confuse light with cheaply made.
