I have about 9GB free on my ZHD(32GB). I can't take pictures with the device and I don't see the point in putting videos on such a tiny screen(3.3").

Could make sense w/external HDMI screen and an adapter.

You backit up, the same way you would using an SD card, right? Plug it into the computer and back 'er up!

Heh, well yeah unless the phone's bricked bad enough that it won't connect. :(

I completly with Rushmore on the SD card thing - no card will mean no Prime for me. Far too many ways I utilize the removeable SD to not have one in my phone. If Android starts going Apple 101 and people using android start spinning it as a good thing ala iSheeple you know we are in for a long haul of being overcharged on "cloud storage" and "data" just to use basic services like music on our "super phones". No SD is gimping this phone, plain and simple.

I disagree and agree. In this day and age there should be removable storage, but i have 8tbs of crap on my pc and i use next to none of it. I run into an issue with what bands i want to listen to because i have way too many. Movies? Forget it. It's like sitting in a room with 25 people all asking one another what they want to eat and they each say whatever you want to eat.

I think many are taking the 32gb thing out of context. You either need to realize that you horde more junk with more storage or more times than not you're going to pile more and more stuff on your storage and forget t the things you really wanted on there.

Also the phone looks fine. Why are so many dogging it? Jeez. Half a finger of bezel isn't too bad. I would love a 5" phone that is under 5.5" though. Maybe next year.

I can't remember for sure but didn't the Incredible somehow pass through the FCC without us ever seeing it?

I think it went through as the ADR6300 well before release. (Ah the days of trying to interpret battery labels and location, seeing if it was the same as the Nexus, debating if it was going to have wireless N, the red back . . . Those were the days of leaks.) So no, I think we will have to see it go through before release.

Correction: Verizon inventory listed it as ADR6300 which was then linked to the battery BTR6300B which was then linked to the the FCC filling for the PB31200, aka the Incredible. Still, all before release.
 
I see some people may not be happy with no removable SD card.
I was a little unhappy myself, but 32gb internal is a lot.

There are a few things you can do to make this work for you;
1. Use online storage.
2. Sync your Nexus with your PC
3. Use a NAS

I have NAS setup and that is what I am going to do.

For the people that do not know what a NAS is;
It basically is a external hard drive hooked to your router and you can access it via the Internet from any PC or smart phone.

I hope this gives you some ideas to use...
 
I've been following the forum for the last couple of weeks and have enjoyed all the info and fun times like I did when I was awaiting the launch/announcement of the incredible (glad to see a lot of the same people posting/awaiting this phone). Somehow I was busy this afternoon/evening and missed about 600 posts. Looking forward to catching up!
 
This is why I love my ASUS Transformer. It has an SD Card slot and when coupled with the keyboard give me great battery time and usefulness. Therefore the fact that the Galaxy Nexus won't have a slot not a big deal. If I need documents or movies or something else I just bring the tablet along. Otherwise I just use the phone and the space it comes with...
 
I guess the next thing I need to know is what accessories this thing is going to have.

For me I will need a docking station that swivels for my vehicle just like the ones that are used for the GPS units.

Extra Battery.

A Plastic hard cover.

HDMI hook up.


^^^^^Wish list^^^^

Depends on what you have on your device. With standard def movies, PSX roms, other roms and MP3s, does not take long to fill up, so like the sdcard option. There is no set standard for user storage use and Samsung should at least afford the option for those that want it. Not having the sd slot probably will hurt sales, but having one probably will not hurt sales.

Yea. We probably went through 5 pages of just talking about that box. Which brings to question, did Montana ever find out what was in that box?
