Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

[The_Chief]

Jelly Bean to Nexus in Mid July by OTA?

That means we MIGHT get it from Verizon by December

That goodness I'm ROMmed! I'll have it by my birthday!

 

[Unforgiven]

Harware coup with the PDK, more devices launching with the latest version, woohoo

 

[MSUgEEk]

Mid July release for the Nexus, that means the Nexus 7 will be out before then right?

I'm guessing Nexus 7 available today after keynote.

By the way, Google Play store has the Galaxy Nexus for $349 right now. SIck, just sick.

 

[Unforgiven]

Incremental app updates will be a big deal with newer data limits

 

[HanSolo]

Mid July! so add 3 months, October for VZW folks!

I'm so glad I'm rooted and ROM'd. I've forgotten what Verizon BS tastes like.

That's only HSPA version. I don't know why they won't sell the LTE version on there. I'm sure Verizon decided to throw their little tantrum when it was asked.

 

[Stigy]

Here comes the N7! OMG.

 

[Unforgiven]

"speaking of tablets...." gaaah, don't tease

 

[Unforgiven]

Release date.....

 

[MSUgEEk]

Love the new Play store ability to purchase movies and TV shows! No more rental only!

 

[Stigy]

Why does it have the Phone interface, WHY?!

 

[AntimonyER]

Yeah, I know, but still, $349 for a phone like the GNex off contract? Once Verizon goes all LTE, this could be huge if Verizon allows unlimited to exist forever under the no subsidized upgrade rule.

that will go a long way to helping make googletv mainstream if you can own a digital video library

1,280 x 800 HD display - so gorgeous.

Tegra 3 w/ Quad Core CPU & 12-core GPU - oh my goodness.

Front Facing Camera - *plus*

Wifi, Bluetooth, NFC

9 Hours of Video Playback and 300 hours of standby time - YES!

Want, ugh.

 

[HanSolo]

Ugh. Why the hell did they have to make that thick ass bezel!!!

 

[HanSolo]

I think this is the Kindle Fire with "Nexus" stamped on the back.

 

[Stigy]

I think this is the Kindle Fire with "Nexus" stamped on the back.

I think so too especially with the way they are pushing Google Play content.

 

[The_Chief]

That bezel is killer BAD. But still an awesome tablet. Wish I needed one!

 

[MSUgEEk]

I just told my wife last night that I was selling the G-Tab because I didn't need a tablet. Time for a change in my reasoning for selling it. "Uh, hunny, I really just didn't like it. That's why I didn't want it anymore. But look at this cool new device! I like it! Can I have it??"

 

[AntimonyER]

You need a bezel with tablets, you can't hold cradled in your hand like a phone...

 

[MSUgEEk]

Chrome is native on Nexus 7!

So much awesomeness today!

Yes, but I'm not holding it with my feet! It's just distastefully thick.

I like the tablet. But the only thing I need a tablet for is reading books. I play games on my PS3. I don't like phone games or tablet games, I want a controller in my hands...fingers and hands get in the way. I don't care to take movies with me. I don't pay for movies or tv shows, that's what the internet is for. I don't care about magazines. Looks great though. I'm sure you guys that are getting it will really enjoy it.

 

[MSUgEEk]

I feel like a 13 year old girl at a Beiber concert! lol
