Hey wait CK, yesterday you said you wanted the Razor, today you said you wanted the Note and then again today you said you didn't need any phone that your OG Droid was just fine, so now you have changed your position again back to Verizon's Galaxy Nexus that is likely to be a watered down bloat filled below expectations device?

Great to have you back...:D

Correction I said I really liked the RAZR and was on the fence and waiting out the Hong Kong event. I still love the RAZR though. If that was the Nexus i'd be a VERY happy camper. Best looking Android device out....in my opinion of course.

I would definitely choose the Note over the Nexus but the question is will it come to Verizon. No idea and I personally don't think it will. I mean a phone that good on Verizon? :)

If the device is unlocked who cares about bloat, tw, vanilla or anything else. Non issue.

I just wish the thing didn't look so darn cheap grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Do we have full specs for this camera vs the iPhone 4S? image quality comparisons? vs the 8MP camera in the iPhone 4S? Clearly we must because you seem very sure.



Even 1080p video plays smoothly on my Galaxy S II, I'm not sure I buy this as reason for using SGX540 again.

The engadget picture tests are not that great. Ill judge the final thing though, they may have been popping them off real fast, not giving it any chance to focus.

If I remember correctly, they actually stated they were doing exactly that.

Mods, pls feel free to move this post to Nexus/camera thread...

Please - everyone - work with me here - please try to self-manage. :)

At the present posting rate and answering to all mod duties, noticing these things and doing them - kinda way hard.

I tossed out a few stones to show the way on the screen tech and processor threads to show the idea - like my sig says, this is OUR forum - yours and mine.

Please make it your own way, organize together, so we don't have to play cops. :) :) :)

Dokey okey? :)

Yeah, that's my opinion as well. When you compare those fuzzy POS pics with the ones we saw popping up all over Picasa a few days ago, it's like night and day.

Also, we have to understand that the lighting inside that event venue in Hong Kong was horrible. It was like a prison yard at night with spot lights roving all over the place.

SwiftKey X, IMO. It has integration with Gmail, Facebook, Twitter and a few others to learn your typing style so predictions are a bit better.

and it just looks cooler!

My vote is for Swiftkey X also.

Fine. Swiftkey X it is. I'm buying it now. If I feel like an idiot or I hate it, I'm charging you guys the full price each, mmmmkay?

I'll PM you guys the paypal deets later.
 
So what's everyones favorite *new upcoming ICS feature?

Mine is built in Screenshots. The NFC Beam is cool but I think it will be a while before enough phones will have it to where it would be useful.

Just FYI for you in the future HanSolo this was free in the Amazon store a few days after it was released. If you don't have it I highly suggest getting an account because every now and then they have a gem of an app that's free.

I'm really excited about the disappearing software buttons in movies. I hope it does the same for ebooks.

But I think my favorite features, so far, would be the camera (time lapse and panoramic are awesome!!) and the ability to swipe away apps you want to kill and notifications you want to clear.

And I love the look of it! Very modern and Tron-like. It's sweet indeed. I can't wait.

We got zero-lag shooting! It makes crappy photos, but wow lookit how fast it shoots!!!

Haha, well I think the point is they didn't completely stop moving to take the picture. THey were just moving the camera around snapping shot after shot. Find me a digital SLR that takes blur free pictures while you are moving the camera around from point to point ;)

While your pics gives me hope, I also know better than to take that as final... they might have assembled this one using the HSPA+ version's front, instead of the VZW one that will have their crap all over it.

I just want the cash they have in the camera tripods and rails they haveit sitting on. Mercy!

Flip Flopping and Back Stroking is allowed here. Pentile discussion is not. :p

The new Camera is definitely cool.

The Tron-like look and hiding soft buttons were both in Honeycomb though so they aren't all that impressive anymore. IMO
 
Lets just stop beating around the bush.... This phone just oozes awesomeness. Don't understand? go to page one and start reading every post by the time you get back to this point you will.
