Just got a text from my sister, who's not working today, but shared that there are some tech support employees that are pissed because they're "training too much" on RAZR, ReHound, and GNex. Too much in too short a period of time.

Good sign!

That's an excellent sign I think! I have to admit though, that is a lot of training - three flagship phones in a very short period of time. But I don't feel too sorry for them because it means I get my phone!;)

I'd gladly do their Gnex training for them :p

P3Droid is feeling left out of the excitement. Supposedly he's going to drop a big giant dump on everyone some time today.

system dump, that is.

That won't even be anything earth shattering. They already got a dump from a test phone. IMO there won't be anything worth getting excited about until Google releases the ICS source code.
 
A phone dump should only end up with system files and should be phone specific if I remember correctly.

You'll get wallpapers, audio files and SGN specific files or whatever device he is running. Nothing major (I don't think) unless someone who is a developer can chime in and correct me.
 
Found this over at AC.

Literally, it's a dump of everything in the /system folder on a phone. Includes apps, wallpapers, ringtones, and a bunch of other stuff most of us don't know what to do with.

Not sure what can come from it though -- i'll do some more searching.
 
Been thinking about the Gnex phone storage. Although 32 would be a cake topper, I'd be happy with 16. I've been running 4 on my Inc for a long time and although it does take some shuffling around once in awhile, it's not a big deal. Really, nand backups are the only reason I even need to do that b/c they're space hogs. So to quadroople my storage would be fine and dandy. Just a slight epiphony I guess. :D

p.s. it would be nice to get that spec however...Steven. :o

Consumers wouldn't. But that means lost sales in extra batteries.

And many HTC owners, especially on Verizon, now accept that as a fact of life.

Stock battery, stock rooted rom, bloatware removed (Sprint allows that on unrooted phones, get with the program Verizon!!) and running full Sense 3 at the stock clock - 18 hours of light / medium use, 50% battery left, and no whacko battery tricks. Leaves me plenty of reserve to overclock to 1.5 GHz (and match or surpass Exynos CPU (not GPU) performance.

At first I felt guilty trying to nudge that in when I repeated that on a mostly-Verizon thread, but I am saying this so you cats get the info you need to stand up for your consumer rights.

Sprint lets you remove the bloatware (most or all depending upon model) without rooting. It's your memory and it's your paid bandwidth used by bloatware to phone home, and I don't care if it does it a nanosecond per fortnight - correct answer is zero.

Sprint provides warranty coverage on rooted phones. For hardware faults or software faults that persist after you flash back to stock, no questions. The idea that rooters break phones and can't be trusted is old Kool Aide that has been thoroughly debunked.

If Sprint can specify a top-end HTC phone like mine that gets great battery life thanks to a reasonable hardware spec and consumer empowerment over the configuration then that proves it's totally doable.

I advise Verizon customers to stand up and demand value and consumer rights.

Verizon is doing it wrong and adds insult to injury by charging extra for it.
 
I was thinking about storage too and honestly if Verizon released it at 16GB - $199 / 32GB - $299 I would without a doubt go for the 16GB. I have had 16GB in all my devices and never, ever had a problem with storage space.

I typically have an 6-7GB DoubleTwist playlist that syncs to my phone and the rest is pictures and storage and ROM backups.

Wow wouldn't that be sweet. I have a 8GB card in my Inc (since launch) and have never had more than 3GB's used at one time. For me, 16GB is way plenty
