Blue do you "argue" just for the sake of arguing? These are not my opinions or me speculating that info comes DIRECTLY from people within that industry.

I don't mind healthy debate but your comments are ridiculous. Unless you are involved in any of these projects I think it's best if you just defer to those that are. Don't you think?

Well... I'll agree with you that there isn't any reason to keep arguing about this, so I won't. How 'bout if Prime comes out w/4212 I'll buy both you and Nashdroid a virtual beer? :)
 
As an FYI the 4212 uses a generic ARM Cortex A9 processor just like it's little brother the 4210. This is not a huge deal in making the transition.

They are not curing cancer with this thing ;)

Oh BTW: The Bionic apparently can handle the new 64GB microSDXC cards :eek:
So sporting that puppy, with 16GB in the phone, would give us 80 friggin' gigabytes of onboard memory to take all those 1080p videos we'll be shooting. Plenty of elbow room there, IMHO. And the "cloud" would just be icing on the cake, especially to back it all up.

Chief, I have some good news for you on the microsdxc front. I've read that many current Android phones seem to no problems using the 64GB microsdxc card. It has been tested on devices like Droid X and the Galaxy S line as well as the GSII phones. However we still don't know if the Nexus Prime or Galaxy Nexus will even support external microsd cards at all. That would be a shame... also I don't know if the Prime is going to have hardware decoders (and the software support) for formats like Divx and mkv. That would be a shame because I got a ton of 720p mkv files that I would love to play on the SAMOLED HD screen.

Anyway, I really wish Google and Samsung would tell us when and where the new venue for the delayed announcement is.

:) no worries brother. I TOTALLY understand where you are coming from and I don't think you have taken a crazy stance on the issue.

I won't be shocked either way to be perfectly honest.
 
The only thing that we have to go on is the clip that was release from Samsung. At least we know what it looks like. My opinion is that it may have the insides of the SGSII-HD-LTE and they vary with opinions as well.

This phone is so tight lipped , just like Area 51. Hmm ,but then again maybe that is were the thing is being developed.:rolleyes:

It will. My Galaxy SII plays 720p mkv and divx vids no problem. Granted, displaying 720p on an actual 720p screen may be more processing power (i'm not sure on this) but I don't think it'll matter. My DC 1.2ghz exynos never goes above 10% cpu playing a 1MB/Sec mkv @ 800x480.

Well, this thread is a really good way to pull us lurkers out of the woodwork. I have been lurking for the past 10 days or so and decided to go ahead and sign up :D

Can't wait for this phone. I almost bought a bionic!:eek:

Welcome AJ! Glad you signed up! :D
 
Seriously... What's taking so long on re-scheduling the announcement date?

I'm feeling like a crack whore who needs another hit...

Samsung does not need an announcement for a great phone like this.
The cat is out of the bag so to speak.. See first post.
 
I feel like im cheating on my wife here but I just signed up to the forums after being a die hard iphone user the last 3 years :D

I decided not to upgrade to the 4s mostly due to my upgrade date being nov 18th. However, I believe I am going to try out the prime if it comes to ATT. The sister in law (who works for att) said I can upgrade on nov 1st so perhaps it will be perfect timing?

I must admit this phone looks pretty interesting.

True, they could "announce" it right now and I would buy it right away. BUT, seeing as I am a very impatient person, I just NEED to know what exactly is in it, and what the whole thing looks like.

Excellent..welcome to the forums and Android. I think once you get used to Android you will fall in love with it. It's a much steeper learning curve I think but once you get the hang of it the options and set-ups are truly endless.

Hope to see you purchase an Android handset this next go around.

Warmest welcomes to Android Forums, on behalf of the staff (and members? ;)) <---- inside joke.

Glad to have you!

I just have a gut feeling that Verizon will be revealing the phone.


I from South Jersey. All the BS is up north....:rolleyes:
 
Welp, I'm at the hotel w/the fam. We're hitting the sack early, as we have to beup early. So, everyone be nice to each other. :D
