i wouldn't be too worried about the back cover breaking. It's made to be flexible.

wow that is flexible!! I didn't realize it could bend that much. Personally I think this will be a good thing.
 
As for Google Wallet, it looks like I'll either be able to go to Home Depot, or one of the million CVS/Rite Aid's, or BP's in the area.

Any word of supply shortages in the UK? I'm still leaning on waiting a few days to a week to purchase through Amazon. Amazon already has the rezound for $229 with no tax and the razr at $199. I'm think the nexus will follow suit, especially with Black Friday and Cyber Monday right around the corner.

The problem w/ ordering from Amazon is they make you pick an new plan you are not allowed to keep your old plan so no grandfathering. At least that was the case a few weeks ago when I was looking at staying w/ ATT on the Galaxy Skyrocket.

Just finished watching the Nexus' "Getting Started" video. Is it just me, or does the back cover seem flimsy as hell?

I believe the SII came with the same type back cover. Every owner was complaining about it. But then a video came out!!!!!! You can bend it, twist it, fold it, etc, etc and it pops right back to it's normal shape. it is basically indestructible !!!!!!!


sorry i can't find the video right now


WOW you guys are fast.

I'm 99.9% positive you can keep your old plan with Amazon.

That's not my point. If you have an employee completely devoid of interpersonal skills as they relate to customer, then perhaps you should not let that person contact said customers. That's common sense.

Who said anything about trying to get anything for free out of them? I want them to give us a damn release date. I guess I don't want them to charge me for that, so in that sense, I do want something for free.

If you had read the email that I sent, posted way back, you would know that is all that I asked for.

Yes, because the thousands of emails sent to her prior to yours were somehow different than yours. Read the thread-you'll notice an alarmingly stupid trend of people doing the same thing.

Regardless of her presumed people skills, why ask for something you know you won't get?

Just checked... my Charge back is NOT that flexible. You can bend it some, but it feels like it will snap if you do it too much. The video for the Gnex looks like they've found a better/modified material.

It was the S2 i meant. You have to type a million miles an hour to get something in here. so i had no time to investigate. the post above shows what i was talking about. sorry

While researching Google Music today, I ran across this blog post concerning digital rights and Google Music. Now this would not apply to anyone here of course, but does anyone have any thoughts on this:
Will Google Remove your Pirated Music from the Cloud? - Howtos, Rants, and Reviews

I am not quite sure how they could discern from stuff you ripped off your CD's and stuff you downloaded or got from other peoples CD's and such. Many of us have plenty of music from our own CD libraries since that can be cheaper than trying to buy digital music anyhow. Quite silly this is a cheaper way to acquire music in many instances, but it is. Same goes with books too. A used book should be more expensive than any online version in my humble opinion.
 
I like that battery cover. If you drop your phone, none of the contact points are part of the battery cover. They are all part of the main body of the phone. Much less likely that the cover pops off and the battery come flying out if you drop it.

It's true. lighting fast forum!

That SGII cover is crazy! Pretty cool in my book. I hate the back of the Charge. I got out my OG last night - it felt so dense and heavy and solid. (Although not entirely in a good way either). I'm hoping the Gnex is a nice happy medium - solid but flexible so it's study. I would love to not need a case (I have chips and dents in my OGD) and just put a skin on it to prevent scratches.

Speaking of -- any full body skins you kind folks would suggest? I've always used Zagg for screen protectors because I used to have a Best Buy discount (not to be confused with a BB discount ;) ) but it seems like there might be better ones out there for the price.
 
I do not think we will ever see Google Wallet on our Verizon Galaxy Nexus... hope I'm wrong but I just don't ever see it happening.

just checked like I was going to purchase a Rezound and it had a selection to keep my existing unlimited data plan (for Verizon. Maybe it's different for you since you have ATT?)

Probably slim to none. Keeping with the way Verizon does things I bet they come out on Monday and say it will be out Tuesday or Wednesday.

Thanks! I can actually see this, because then "normal" people will be more inclined to pick up Razors and ReZounds over the weekend. If everyone knows the Nexus is coming next week (officially from Verizon) they might be more inclined to at least wait and see them and do a comparison before buying one... Since I'm sure a lot of people out there have no idea what's going on with the release or rumors or anything.

I also wouldn't be surprised if we see our first commercial tonight or Sunday during the football games. Verizon spends a TON of money on NFL sponsorship/commercials.
