Wow, this device will be thin!

It'll have an SD card slot. Look at Sammy's press release following the iPhone 4S that high lighted how the GS2 was better. "Up to 32 GB external storage" was in bright blue. They're proud of that and want to show how their device outclasses iPhone in (almost) every category.

They'll catch a ton of flack if they throw that spec sheet out then followup the very next week with their newest device and it falls short of their own GS2, much less the iPhone.

It will most definitely have a micro SD slot. LTE is another question. My bet is they give VSW the Droid LTE version and ATT/Sprint get left out with HSPA+ only.

I love speculating.

Remember this is Google's baby not Samsung's. So having internal or external SD capability is clearly up to Google. Samsung's claims have no bearing on the Nexus line.

quit hoping for att and sprint. they made their move with the GSII. This is all VZW. For your sake, I wish it was on your carrier, but it wont be. I hope the press takes this a little more seriously than they did the IP4S. This will be much much better.

The SGS II has nothing to do with it. Thats like saying ATT , Tmobile, and Sprint wont get the Nexus S because they had SGS I. Sprint has been the only carrier to openly sell and promote the Nexus S. For Google to not put the Nexus on Sprint would be a huge mistake. It is also a mistake for Google to leave its existing Nexus user base on the wrong carriers.

I agree, the phone needs to be offered accross all carriers. Also, i think it would be sweill if it came out for all of them at the same time. I don't get why the att version comes like 3 months before the a new device is supposed to be released.

anyone else disappointed they kept basically the same form factor? I wanted it to have another new form factor as charmingly bizarre as the NS, rather than just a refresh.

Will be interesting to see the full reveal. I like the look of what appears to be the metal casing. But I will wait to see if they do in fact have a fairly large battery within that frame. ICS should be interesting as well.

Though, Im not sure on the thinness myself. Or the curved frame. I also think the power button on the side is a really bizarre idea. And I would not like if it doesnt have an sd slot.

Has definitely brought a little attention over from the Vigor from me. I really prefer HTC's build quality though so will have to see.

I just hope with the thinness that it wont be easy to break it!

Hahahahahahahahahaha...no

At MOST, it's a timed verizon exclusive. I can buy that. The other three released or are releasing the SGS2 right now, and it's might be a little hard to launch to flagships so close to each other. Then again, maybe that was the reason verizon didn't launch the SGS2, it didn't want to cannibalize the bionic. Who knows. One that is a safe bet however. After at most 3 months, the prime will be on multiple carriers in the US. That, or the whole "2 phone" rumor is true, and the non-verizon phones will actually be the better "nexus". I don't believe that rumor.

Looks different enough to keep me happy.
