Too bad the beam is so short ranged.

It's kind of a safety feature too, especially with google wallet.

 

[Craigboy]

The Razr was cool... shortest lifespan ever though. Tough break

 

[Trent Reznor]

When is this coming to VZW?????????????????????????????????????

 

[drhill]

Crap, we should have asked Rob to find out when the Xoom gets this!

 

[jaydotelloh]

So Android Beam appears to be always running. Wonder what the battery drain will be and if you can turn it off?

SDK AVAILABLE NOW!

i BELIEVE NFC is only activated when it detects another chip nearby...

 

[ASC]

Sooo sick!!!

 

[gilgehmesh]

Android beam seems cool, BUT, need TWO phones w/ NFC AND ICS to do it.. i will have no friends with a Gnex...

Well, you'll just have to convince your friends to buy some don't you??

Oh, still no word on the identity of the SoC??? WTH??

 

[RadYOacTiVe]

Verizon?!?1?!

 

[The_Chief]

It's over? NO VERIZON????

 

[RX-78-2]

No release date and carrier info

 

[gapi]

Thanks to a yappy GF I missed some of the specs. someone please list them?

 

[mrmax86]

Whoa.

 

[iDon't]

No mention of NFC credit card payments?

I didn't see google wallet when they showed the app list. Maybe to be added later?

 

[AntimonyER]

I want this phone soooo bad

 

[rpretzel]

When do you suppose vzw will announce a release date?

 

[qwertyaas]

No mention of carriers? Awwww.

 

[gilgehmesh]

Okay, Rob, get some hands on that baby!!

 

[cereal killer]

Hey Cereal Killer, you still sold on RAZR? LOL

Ha...nope. I think it's pretty clear what phone i'm getting

 

[Craigboy]

It's over? NO VERIZON????

It's on the Samsung site - Verizon is a go

 

[OfTheDamned]

I want this phone

 

[schimm]

Sooo sick!!!

Old.............

 

[josephnwhite]

So no idea when it is launching other than November, or who it is launching for, or what the LTE device even looks like since he implied different dimensions. Did I miss something?

 

[RadYOacTiVe]

I hope Rob can get some release date info!

 

[gilgehmesh]

It's over....

 

[iDon't]

i BELIEVE NFC is only activated when it detects another chip nearby...

Then it must be running to detect another chip?
