Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Well, another unremarkable dentist visit. :)
Jelly Belly looks just too stock for me. I'll stick with Sourcery or CNA hoping one will drop a 4.2 based ROM soon.
Anti, do you have a upgrade or are you going to sell your Gnex?
 
I rarely do much with my GNex since I got the N7 so I don't have the itch. This might provide a good balance for me. Every two years a new phone and alternate two years a new tablet. Now I just gotta get me a Chromebook in there somehow.
 
Android is starting to get to the point where custom roms aren't needed as much, but I am too addicted to tinkering with my devices to leave them stock. I don't have any faith in Verizon not locking up any phone on their network and locking me out on a device that I bought. Dev versions of phones will not sell well unless they sell at a similar price as the nexus 4. Ever since Verizon put that new tower up near where I work, I really have no complaints with my Gnex with the 3800mAh battery. I better get cozy with it because it looks like it's going to be my phone until Verizon axes my unlimited data.
 
Hello everyone! Anti, passing through your area on 95...wave! So nice and sunny here, we have been having an offshore event for the last week in NC making it cloudy and rainy. Oh how i love the sun and 68!

Anti, why would you choose the DNA over the Note 2? Really like Sense?

Size, Sense, and price.

How are the reviews on battery on the DNA?

Average. I don't expect to make it through a day at my desk, but I don't need to. Away from my desk I have higher hopes, standby is actually really good based on what I have read so far.

Haha, I can see the interstate from my office too, so you are going RIGHT by me :)

The Verge and Engadget slammed it on a crummy battery but Droid Life seems to be impressed with it. Seems to be mixed so far. Ask Night Angel and see what his thoughts are thus far.

NA is in love. Probably would have backed off by now already if it weren't for him. I really do like my GNex, but this desk move is killing me going back to my 45kbps 3G connection. (Yes, its truly THAT bad).
 
I don't mean to sound biased against the HTC or DNA, but the battery life seemed destined to be poor. a screen bigger than the gs3, more pixels than the gs3, a smaller capacity battery than the gs3, and the notoriously hungry sense ui. At least the note 2 has a much larger capacity battery to try and help offset it.
 
I really hope the DNA is popular just because it thrashes the uphone in PPI. I wouldnt mine having one myself or getting to use one for a bit just to see the amazing pixel density
 
Reading through the N4 review on DL. Man, I am really itching to dump Verizon. Not sure when my contract is up, but not for quite a while. Wife wants nothing to do with another carrier but since we mostly reside in DC where ANY carrier gets great signal, I don't think it's that big of a deal.

I'm the same way Dread. We don't live in a very populated area, but Verizon and AT&T both get good service here now. 3 years ago when we switched, AT&T didn't have that great of data coverage here, but they're up to par now. Makes it a little easier to make the decision to go for a pre-paid plan like Straight-Talk or something.

I did all the math do determine if it would be financially smart to break free of verizon terminating 3 lines and getting the t-mobile 30 dollar plan. It came out relativly even only being about 30 dollars in the red over the course of 1 year if i was able to sell the 2 gnex's for 200 each, and the gs3 for 400 and then buy 3 nexus 4's for 350 each. That's quite a bit of money up front to stomach though :(.
