Who's buying a Verizon Galaxy Nexus?

[bplewis24]

Please change the title of this thread to,

"Who has two thumbs and is buying the Galaxy Nexus"

and then change the first option to,

"This Guy!"

Count me in. The wife doesn't know it yet but I'm taking her upgrade.

i'm on AT&T- have to choose betw-Galaxy Note, Htc Holiday- whenever they decide to release it!, Nexus Prime,

I dont think so. Manufacturers will soon catch up to the GN's specs and i am not really wanting to compromise with the no SD card. I know at one point i want to run a custom ROM.

I'm still on the fence between this and the RAZR. I've been happy with Motorola's Blur UI plus the phone is smaller, thinner, and lighter. While the sealed battery does make me hesitate, I'm just not sold on the Nexus yet. Knowing me, I'll probably end up buying them both at some point.

I'm leaning toward the GS but, thinking about the Razr also. They both have things I like and don't like.

I wish the Razr had a removable battery. If the battery life is good it won't matter. I could get through a whole 12 hour day at work on my Bionic (listening to music off & on and little web surfing, checking email). I also like the fact that it will come with a desk dock and car dock.

The Galaxy Nexus has ICS and, that's a really big advantage. I hope they include a car dock along with the Desktop dock. The Nexus One had both of these but, they didn't have anything for the Nexus S. It's kind of weird how they've been holding back a little on the last two nexus phones. Maybe there just isn't enough demand for a car dock.

The 32GB of storage will be nice on the GS will be nice. Having the flexibility of removable sd-card is nice but, the built-in storage seems to work better from my experience. I don't care for the 3.5 MM headphone jack on the bottom but, since I have a bluetooth stereo headset now; that doesn't really concern me.

I'm still leaning toward the Galaxy Nexus, I just really wish they would have a car dock for it.

Am I the only one who seems slightly disappointed in the announcement?

I'm not an Apple fan and this beats the pants off my Nexus One, however...it's frustrating that most of the "new features" Google was pushing are ideas that have already been done: swipe notifications, incognito mode, screenshots, resizable widgets, data usage tool (just to name a few) I already have care-of Cyanogen and some apps. ICS really seems like a lot of Android catching up with "community Android", so to speak.

Then the software is packaged in plastic (from what I can tell) that looks like a cross between the Nexus S on the front and the Galaxy S II in on the back so there's nothing original there.

This is probably what happens when you get in bed with a manufacturer and let them run the show - I think the fact that "Nexus" is not top billing in the name anymore illustrates this. I'm kind of partial, but the Nexus One was and still is a great phone. The only complaints I have about the phone is a) the very limited internal storage for apps and b) the cheap/flaky touchscreen HTC used that freaks out frequently. This phone looks, feels and is built solid with it's metal frame and all. I just think of all the times my phone has been dropped and has withstood everything every time largely due to it's construction and wonder if this will hold up to the same.

In the end though, I'm setting my sights on this phone as it's about that time for a new one. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the developments of the community so I don't see much difference between Cyanogen's Gingerbread and the new ICS. If that is the case, then props to the community for their awesome contributions to Android that Google feels the need to bake the community's ideas in with the next version.

Where is the "maybe" option?

Anyways I'm on the fence. I was super excited until I saw the sample photos that Engadget took. They look like garbage. Even the ones that were in focus, they look horrible. Definitely not on par with the SGS II.

I will however reserve final judgement until the actual reviews come in after it's released.

 

[Friend-O]

While my Bionic has been a pleasant surprise, I won't be able to resist selling it to get this beast.

 

[Asterdroid]

GF's Eris needs to last 3 more weeks.... Come on baby you can do it.

 

[Small_law]

Buying it. I am getting off the "where's my update" roller coaster for a while.

 

[p08757]

I may wait till January and see how things turn out. I have the Bionic now and it currently fits my needs. I have a line with an available upgrade now, and one more that will become available for upgrade in April.

I'm done jumping on the 1st thing that catches my eye. AKA Xoom/Bionic Got both on the day they were both released. Like them both, but may have made better choices if I waited a few months.

That and I'm done being the guinea pig for phone manufacturers. Ill let the reviews from tech sites and users come out for a while before jumping.

While I was impressed with what ICS brings to the table, I'm looking for a smaller phone so it looks like the RAZR will be my next phone. I've never had a problem with Blur and actually really liked it on the Bionic that I used for a while. I don't play games or stream music/movies so the 720p resolution of the GN doesn't matter to me. I'm sure the RAZR will get ICS sooner or later, especially if Google's purchase of Motorola is approved.

 

[Salacon]

I am definitely getting one. And I am very glad that it comes in the 16GB variant, since it will probably save me $100 (im guessing it will be sold at $199).

I store most of my music in the cloud through google music anyway, and that is what would take up most of my space.

This exactly.

Also, it would be nice to finally have another stock Android experience on Verizon; I definitely can't argue with updates straight from Google either.

 

[pheatton]

My only worry is that it will fell like the Fascinate I had. It just felt cheap and plasticy. I have not handled the GS2 yet so Im hoping is not.

If I like the fell Im getting one.

 

[SunSdk1020]

Ill buy it ASAP pre-order or waitinng in line first day

 

[SpaceHippie]

One of the benefits of working at best buy. I don't have to wait in line. Im gonna be in the store an hour early setting my Nexus up lol

 

[Bob61]

I've been waiting, have an upgrade available (bought very gently used Samsung Charge on Ebay for $160 to hold me over) and RAZR had me for a moment but now it's Nexus for me. I didn't want to extend my contract for another 2 years, but heck fire, this one has roped me in.

Have you really compared the specs on the sizes of these phones? Not much difference.

Razr: 130.7 x 68.90 x 7.1mm (5.14 x 2.71 x 0.28 inch)
Nexus: 135.5 x 67.94 x 8.94mm (5.33 x 2.67 x 0.35 inch)

Do you think you'll really notice the 5mm difference in the height? Or the 1.9mm difference in thickness? If it's small you want, neither of these should be on your list.

 

[NexusQ]

Yes but I need the HSPA+ version, just hoping it isn't a version exclusive in the US so I don't have to buy it overseas and pay extra. If it means I have to sell my tab 10.1 to get this phone I will.
