Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Yeah, I'm not a glutton for that kind of punishment. It will certainly be horrific if one of these breaks out again and we're the ones that have to moderate it. :eek:

I have a feeling that the G2 launch is going to be a little too close to the S4 style launch for comfort. Preview stuff is way touchy feely. :p

Well so far I was as wrong as wrong can be. Very tech friendly presentation with the processor discussion.
 
Plug and Plop. Can someone explain to me what that is. I was laughing too hard at the name of the feature to pay attention.

If the G2 is also going to be the new Nexus I'm glad Verizon isn't getting it.

If LG is going to make it, the Nexus 5 will be based on it, not a replica. The Nexus 4 didn't look that much like the Optimus G after all.

Nexus phones have a certain look that has been consistent since the Nexus S, so I imagine the Nexus 5 will continue with that look. Other than camera placement, they all have that drastic rounded look.

Looking at your devices I forgot you got a G1 not long ago, Jmar. How's it working out for you?

I like it a lot actually! It's fun to take it to work and act like it's my primary device. Plus, I can flash any version of Android (except Honeycomb, of course) on it, which is remarkable. Android 1.5 and 1.6 run best on it. Froyo runs okay, but Gingerbread and up laaaaag! Also, I love the physical keyboard. Reminds Mr of what Android used to be about.

Hey, hey, hey!

It's not like I can pull some Steven voodoo as a Guide here! :mad:;):D

BeeBs, whenever you'd like, you may make yourself the 30k poster and write something epic. Or not...I had been planning to make sure you got it for a while now. :D

What, no Eclair love? :smokingsomb:
 
Fair enough, I still remember running bloated Samsung Touchwiz on top of Eclair on my Fascinate. Too many people in the S3/S4 forum may like Touchwiz now, but they never had to endure the pain that was running TW on 2.x. The absolute was the Charge, because it's brown theme was "poopy" to say the least, :rofl: I don't know which of their designers thought that was a good idea.

OMG! My friend had a Charge. I tried to convince her to let me root it. Pretty sure you could run Lean.kernel on that phone. Yeah, TouchWiz on 2.x.x was just awful.

It's too bad the ril was never released by Samsung because it could've run stock ics or JB no problem.
 
Since switching from the iPhone I've only owned the OG Droid and my GNex. Both pure android. Both were rooted and running ROMs almost from day 1.

Did they announce any timeframe for the LG anymore specific than later this year? If that phone was available now I might be tempted, but knowing the X is coming in less than a month, I think I can hold out for it. It's just too appealing to me not to get it. I honestly don't even need any hands-on time with it. The experience can't be much different than what I'm use to with my past two phones, the processor and memory are better than the GNex, and the awareness the phone has with the smart interactions just make an already great experience even more practical/useful.

Also...my favorite point... Made in 'merica!

Regarding the Gnex thread....man that was some fun!
