***Official Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release speculation thread**

[Thejungle]

am i the only one who's concerned about trying to fit this thing into the front pocket of a pair of jeans with that curve on it?

You can pull it into back pocket, it will perfectly fit with your round ass! ;-)
Do not be angry, it is just simple, normal joke. Not about you, just about my ideas how to deal with this problem, huh

Can you guys imagine what would happen if on the 11th it's announced, and it's not for Verizon?

I think I would literally puke all over my computer. I'd get sent home.

it's no doubt it's for verizon with that cpu in it , it's the only reason google picked it

 

[X24]

Don't know what to think about the curve ...

 

[Thejungle]

I'm in wildly good mood.
I love you all! ;D

 

[HanSolo]

Guys, I was being facetious with the "not coming to Verizon" thing. Just having a little joke at your expense!

My oh my, but you folks are a nervous bunch.

Anyone want to take any action on whether or not Han will spontaneously combust before 10/11? LOL...just kidding Han. Hey, we need an update from your sis'.

As for those concerned with lack of LTE, you can see a hump on the bottom (or is that the top?). Most likely that's where the radio is.

That's the camera. That pic can't be the SCH-i515, it's too thin for LTE

Stop killing the joy!

Steven! Steven! Make him stop doing that!

Edit: Also, with nothing else in the picture, you can't really tell how thin it is. It could be like the Bionic for all you know.

stop! Hummer time!

BANNED for being a buzz kill

But I get your reasoning.

I don't. You simply can't tell how thin it is. What are you comparing it to? The floating text above it?

 

[iowabowtech]

It's the Prime. A knife wielding, gopher killing yard gnome just told me while I was outside watering flowers. Relax.

 

[huskerkate]

Ok honestly thinking of returning my Bionic for this!

really, do you actually have to think about it??

Nexus Prime Will Sport Tablet Docking Mode? - Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog

I saw that, and don't know how to feel about it. I don't think it's accurate. Wouldn't that make the tablet really top-heavy?

Apple is now a failure in the phone wars, but I still like the iPad. I'll probably wait for the iPad 3. Or maybe try the Samsung Tab 10.1. I haven't even played around with that one yet.

 

[cereal killer]

Then again the Droid "Spyder" appears pretty thin as well.....

Yes, that's it, CK, that's it! You're almost there, young Padawan.

Maybe Samsung found a way to get the first gen LTE radio in a smaller space?

 

[overbyc1]

My Droid X sure has shriveled up in the last 12 hours. Prime I want you. My upgrade is not until Feb. The other 3 lines are not upgradable until March. I'm screwed. The boss lady will never go for spending 600 on a phone. DAMMMIT!

no, but if the battery is in fact thin with more surface area that would open up some space. So perhaps that's what they have done. Hate not knowing what the heck is going on

I don't think that was your Droid X, and that shriveling effect is natural. Cialis doesn't work forever, my friend.

Prime wants you too. Isn't there something you can sell? A phone, a computer, your dignity?

Look at the power button. It's definitely going to be closer to the top of the phone, and since it's skewed right, the larger hump on the left is the bottom of the phone and thus can't be the camera.

Well to parrot what others have said, I sure hope if it is a slim battery, capacity is not compromised. Three battery pulls a day on this POS TBolt sucks. And that sweet looking device shouldn't be seen with a hump back.

Exactly. And there is a smaller protrusion starting at about the halfway point of the power button, which I think is the camera.

I'm still thinking the larger hump is the bottom, and will house the 4G radio.

I think that until slimmer 4G chips come out next year, all of these phones will be Quazimodos.

But I highly doubt Samsung would release the phone of the year with a crappy battery. I'm betting a 2000 mAh thin, super wide and tall battery. Still won't give you 20 hours, but it should last a good work day at least.
