I really don't care what it is called as long as I can call it mine. "My precioussssss" (ala Golem) But I still think Nexus Galaxy rings better, what say you?

I'll probably end up just calling it the Nexus. I don't care if they call it the Samsung Hairy Turd, as long as it's what I want. :)

Here is a list of everything Jacob said till now:
( Steven: Feel free to use this for the OP :) )

Build Quality:
- The outside is plastic but it feels nothing like a Samsung phone. My Google employee friend said there is metal inside for support and good feeling
- it has a samsung plastic outside but it doesn't feel that way in hand
- this plastic feels awesome though, like futuristic an stuff
- Its a dark silver

Camera:
- same as gs2 i think, 8mp

Size:
- feels like it's a bit bigger than my thunderbolt
- in between thunderbolt and infuse
- not as drastically curved but super thin! thinner than iphone 4s

Screen: amazing, its 720p

Carriers: [is not sure except for verizon]

Processor: 1.5 ghz dual core TI omap

ICS/Software:
- the browser rocks, its tabbed and super snappy.
- nothing great about the otherapps, just different looks
- sooooo awesome! it is blue like the leaked pics is smooth
- so much more smooth and intuitive, also google's widgets look really nice
- ics has much better hardware acceleration
- [Do the buttons go landscape when the phone is turned landscape, or do they stay where they are?] They turn just like incredible 2
- pure vanilla
- [3D transitions when switching between homescreens?] Not 3D but really smooth, everything flowed nicely just like iOS 5
- [when the buttons hide does that space become usable?] It makes the app fill the space where the buttons were

Speed Test:
- Verizon, about 25mbps down and 10 up

Battery:
- but 1900 mah battery i think
- removable

Name:
- [is it going to be called the Galaxy Nexus?] unless google/verizon/samsung makes a last minute name change, which is possible he said then yes

Release Date:
- no release date guys

Hardware:
- it also has a new LTE modem in it and it is faster
- Touch sensitive bezel
- Dual flash
- Yes an LED next to the speaker grille
- [How big is the hump?] Its about the same as nexus s.

Other:
- [any surprises?] there is optimization for the OS to use 2 cores which rocks, and the launcher is great, multitasking is just like honeycomb too
- [How bright is the LED Notification Light? Does the phone feel gigantic in the hand?] Its bright, no because of the curve, and it feels big but still usable and pocketable

well, guess what! I do have a source and there is NO SD SLOT! ;)

If you are serious, I think one of these is more appropriate: :(

Shoot, I will need to stop posting much at all, since that would be troll-like, not getting the device, but being critical of the dumb a$$ decision not to have a slot. I would rather have 16gb internal instead, if could have the slot. There, I feel better now.

Vigor 4g?
