***Official Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release speculation thread**

[Rrrracer]

The thickness of the Rezound is the problem for me. The video comparing it to the TB at 14mm is just blah! Other than that... nice phone.

I am with you there. I'm actually surprised that the battery is so small, given the thickness of the phone. Battery life on the Rezound is likely to be terrible.

I was welcoming Gapi back to the craziness of the thread in general. I have a feeling the only thing that changes is that the RAZR is getting the 11/11 gimmick date instead of the original 11/10.

The 11/11 RAZR date is definitely a gimmick. Technically it will still be released on 11/10, as you can still pre-order it and it says it will ship by 11/10.

So 11/10, 11/14, and 11/17 still looks oh so good

Yes, but the very best mysteries are the ones where everything you thought you knew was wrong all along, and they drop a big twist that, in retrospect, makes perfect sense.

I hope we're not in an awesome mystery. I hope we're in a mediocre one where the end will be what we fully expect it to be.

I hope we're not in a Primal Fear movie.

Very true but if we gt me going on film or writing theory i will ever so far off topic i may never return

Also i hate autocorrect on the charge.

And if the gnex video looks that good i think i should shoot a short on it - if they can do a feature on that fruit phone it can be done!

This phone better come to AT&T!!!

Thus why they were coming out with extra large batteries and doors WAY before the phone was every announced. I wouldn't expect anything better than what TB's are getting... and reportedly very bad.

Hey, I just won my tournament (came in second really) and can now buy all three phones! Not going to though. I only need the one and want to save my other upgrades for future phones if need be.

"I'm proud to let you know that the HTC Rezound will ship ready for Ice Cream Sandwich" (note: not installed)

What the hell is that even supposed to mean? Sure, we all knew the Rezound wasn't going to ship with ICS on there. But, seriously, what just-released Android phones aren't going to have the hardware to support ICS?? Reminds me of all the silly "Vista Ready" stickers PCs shipped with.

 

[Rrrracer]

Two weeks, folks... TWO WEEKS!

CONGRATS!!!!!

maybe the processor, but the GPU in the OMAP 4460 should be better than the Adreno 220 seeing as it's a bumped up PowerVR SGX540.

And don't forget. The Gnex/ICS will be hardware accelerated.
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Has Hardware Acceleration

Will all these phones with GPU's become hardware accelerated after they upgrade to ICS?

I said on another forum... "ICS ready" is like me being "wealthy ready"

 

[RadYOacTiVe]

Stand proud...you done good!

Boy, do I feel a load off my shoulders with this. We're almost there. The weight and responsibility of this thread has been intense at times. I'm kind of looking forward to the down time of just doing normal mundane mod stuff.

YAYYY CONGRATS! That means the top 5 posters get a free Nexus!

It is marketing. Just like all the headphones that have "iPod/iPhone compatible" on the package. It's a 3.5mm headphone jack, of course it is compatible. They put it on there so that it is somehow linked to Apple and the iPhone though. That is all they are doing when they say ICS ready.

Yet another reason to go with the phone guaranteed to have the acceleration versus a big question mark.

If you don't mind this is going in my sig.

I know, it's just crazy... WTF is in the Rezound that makes it so thick with that scrawny battery?? GNex and Razr both have a bigger battery and are much thinner than that thing.

I'll get in the store and check one out, but nothing is gonna sway me from the GNex at this point

Hey how about make us a deal, you ever win the Main Event at WSOP, you buy us all the phone of our choice

Wow, seriously?

Awesome!

Thanks, OTD! You're the best! Wow, I can't believe this. This day just keeps getting better and better!

I'm going to tell all my friends that we have the best mod on the planet! Sorry, Steven, you've been bumped.

Man, I can't believe OTD is getting the top 5 posters free SGN's!!

Woo hooo!!!!

I love you, OTD!

I'm pretty sure that most Rezound folks would use extended battery as standard one is too small, and it will make the phone even thicker.

Ummmmm....yea.....no.

I still have bills to pay with that money too. Remember, for me, this is the same as any of you getting your paycheck. The only difference is that I can go for another tonight.

I must say, this is an AWESOME idea

LOL! I'm hoping I can sell my Thunderbolt for $300 and just pony up the rest for the Nexus.
