Do you know the difference between ATT's iPhone and VZ's iPhone, vz's you could make a call. Point is att sucks, vz has a better network, you can make a call. No drop calls, GN on Verizon better than SGII LTE on att. IMO!!!

Chill dude. I said if it was a viable option for you coverage-wise to do so then it might be an option. I switched from AT&T to Verizon 2 years ago. Service is honestly about the same in this area...just more widespread 3G here with Verizon and 4G is very nearby. AT&T still doesn't have 3G where I live, but as far as call quality...about the same for me. Data and 3G/4G coverage was what made me switch.

A set of photos taken using Galaxy Nexus, what do you guys think?

most of the shots look pretty blurry, could it be due to the 0 shutter lag?

there's another album that looks better,

Thanks, Not bad for a phone.

Well, being a photographer I'll have to risk being flamed in saying with the exif data being extracted from the image files I cannot confirm what camera they came from. I;m not calling BS , I'm just saying, I'm not betting the farm and have my salt shaker handy.
Also, I will not form an opinion on images processed down from their original size of 100% to fit a Webb post. Any time you resize an image it will sharpen it up.
As for the blur, it could be the camera OS set a slow shutter speed according to the available light or camera shake by the shooter.

Ask any professinal photographer how important it is to keep a camera still. Zero shutter lag is a figure of speach I'm sure but it is very fast for a phone. Zero shutter lag will not cause blurry shots but help avoid them if anything.

The images are far better than my OG does heh!
 
So I get up this morning and look at my Inbox and there's a message from Samsung: What do you want this Black Friday. Nothing about phones at all inside. Oh, such a cruel tease they are!!

Yeah, they got me on that one too. I thought it was a pre-order announcement and got all excited. I know that future announcements are in Verizon's court but it was early and my guard was down.

Some of these photos look really nice, but like you mentioned, most of them are very blurry.

These leave A LOT to be desired.

:(
 
Anyone remember how Dell (I think) was selling Ubuntu computers at a lower price? Why can't Samsung, Moto, HTC, etc... take their single top of the line unit and offer that option? They can release updates more frequently as they don't have to ensure that their crap software update is acceptable. All they have to do is ensure that their hardware drivers are good to go, right? In addition they could cut us a deal for not "licensing" their crap software. Heck, I'd even pay a little more for them to leave it off! :-D

Wishful thinking, I know. Figured I'd share it anyway...
Onward to 20k!

An excellent idea, BUT: Verizon rakes in MILLIONS of dollars a year installing bloat on phones. Your offer to pay a little more to not have it is an amount that they would likely scoff at. And they contract to install that crapware on an entire line of phones... not per phone. Were it a per-phone agreement, then yeah: just offer more to remove it than they were paid to install it. Sadly, it's not going to work that way. I wish it did!
 
Good morning, everyone! Isn't it a glorious day??!!

I have a good feeling about today, yes I do! I think we're going to find out something definite today! Let's let some sunshine in, grumpy heads!

I can see the zero shutter lag to cause people to take lots of reckless shots with lots of movement. Just like you saw the press doing at the Samsung event.

I was only speaking to the manufacturer's software. Touchwiz, HTC Sense, MotoBlur, etc...

I hate snow. :( The only saving grace is the fact that I can work from home. At least I don't have to drive in it.

I guess we are all getting an early Christmas present, eh?

Sorry about that - totally misread!

Believe it or not, a lot of people prefer those UIs... it "organizes" Android for them and "guides" them into what to do. Not sure they'd know what to do with stock vanilla Android :confused:
 
I wonder if the RAZR and ReHound being out so long before the SGN will pick off a few of our herd. :confused:
