NO 32GB on BIG RED??

Agreed 100%! So far I'm extremely happy with this phone. I've only had it for a few hours but I can judge pretty quickly whether or not I like something. It's fast, the screen is beautiful, camera is great and I like knowing I have the option to put everything on my SD card, which I can't do on the Nexus, along with play flash etc. I was waiting our for the Nexus but at this point everyday I find something out about it that makes me change my mind. Plus at this point we don't even know when it will be out for sure on vzw. So I went with the best phone out now on vzw (coming from thunderbolt and bionic which I returned) IMO and am glad i did so far! So no, I don't believe I chose the crappier phone.

You've had it with Verizon, so you bought the crappier phone with full Verizon bloat that they're trying to sucker as many people as possible into buying instead of the Nexus?

Doesn't make sense.

Easy pal! Makes perfect sense...We all loved the Nexus, however your the one getting suckered by standing around waiting, and waitning, and waiting some more for a phone that BIG RED doesnt even want!
16gig's of memory??? Are you kidding me...Maybe you have nothing on your phone, maybe you dont listen to music, maybe you dont know what the app market is? Sorry man, 16gigs is not enough for us power users. 32gigs is more then enough...However Verizon would rather screw the real die hard Android Fans by making them believe 16gigs is more then enough memory that doesnt have an SD Card slot on board...

I'm A Nexus fan, so is Lady, and so are a bunch of us in here...Were just not fans of being led like Sheep...

How is it crappier? Runs fast, has plenty of space options (without relying on cloud). Device is far better than I expected and it is actually out for purchase.

Even the battery is doing better than expected. As far as ICS, I like having Flash and do not like using cut down resolution, converted Skyfire versions of Flash sites (the ones that actually work using Skyfire).

Seems the chance of having the 16gb version (13gb for apps and media combined), potential battery life issues, no Flash and a little VZW bloat is starting to get to some folks.

My man Rush always has a valid point...
 
This does not worry me. Remember when Verizon posted up the stock battery saying it was 1750 mah when it was really 1850? I think they're doing this just to keep us interested while they delay and give the Razr and Rezound more soak time in the market. Verizon knows they messed up with the iPhone and then the Nexus One, I don't think they'll mess this up. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, Sprint has unlimited data too assholes.

Yes...Sorry to say, but they're trying to fool us again!

I was one of those people waiting for a Nexus one on Vzw some years ago...I was one of those people that would constantly check the Google website to see if there was any news...I was one of those people that would click on the VZW Nexus one link and was referred to go check out the Droid....Yes I'm a little tired of getting Fooled, it's not cool!

They would never pull this crap with Apple..Never! Eric needs to really grab the horns here and tell his people how to handle these clowns at VZW.
 
Folks, rest assured on 32Gb memory in verizon Nexus. Our sources and P3droid are all saying it's 32Gb. Plus we had training material spec table from verizon a few ago that also says 32Gb on their Nexus.
 
If this information is true and this phone only come with to Verizon as a 16GB. I will pass on it and get the RazR.

The folks on here are thinking that it was a typo and that vzw will offer the 32gb... Nothing at all has been confirmed yet. They are keeping this thing more hush hush than iphone

I work for Verizon, and they have no official info on the nexus yet. We have had training on ICS, and there was a link to the Nexus but nothing about storage. I would imagine that if it is 16 gb onboard it might have a micro sd slot with a 16 gb card installed? We will see soon enough, i'll post when we get more info.

Hmmm? Interesting! But I doubt they would make one model with an SD slot, and one without.
 
Perhaps Google and Samsung realized that removable memory is a key feature that North American users like and must have. Hence the design change maybe? I would actually prefer to see 16GB on/16GB ext. than 32GB on.

Oh hey! Check out both of these links for the GSM and CDMA/LTE version; even the GSM/HSPA+ specs only say 16 GBs! So that leads me to believe that we're blowing this out of proportion since there most definitely is a 32 GB GSM version even though it's not annotated on Google's own spec page.

So, if anything, this may mean that Verizon may sell both varients at different price points. :D

Did anyone even see my post? I don't know why anyone would believe this anymore..

GSM/HSPA+ specs (also only says 16 GBs)

CDMA/LTE Specs

Verizon doesn't give a shit what phone you buy - they just want you to sign on the dotted line, with as much addons as possible. I'm about to follow in Ladyx's footsteps

As far as Flash is concerned though folks - Adobe is abondoning Flash for mobile devices. So you really should stop caring about it.
