Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

The only thing I've heard about Chromecast in a long time is Pandora and I couldn't care less about Pandora. Still waiting on something/anything else.
 
Chromecast is pretty slick. Really only using it for youtube, everything else we do through Roku on our TV on a ethernet line. Just wish WatchESPN was either on Roku or chromecast. Someday.

It'll be really nice once google releases the SDK publicly and stops with the restrictions on apps.

One more gadget to consider for cord cutters. Roku is still great though, with Aereo, Netflix, and Amazon Prime.
 
Setup my nexus 5 last night, although I'm going simless until my verizon contract ends in December. Until then it's just another toy, although making SIP/VOIP calls on wifi works fine.

Definitely a sweet phone. Definitely won't miss Verizon :)
 
As I near the end of my two year contract, an odd thing occurred to me. Since my first cell phone circa 1993 the Galaxy Nexus will be the first phone I have kept and used continually for two straight years. As much grumbling about Verizon and battery life plus all the new cool phones that have come out since, it does say something about the GNex to stick around.

Any particular reason for Sprint rather than T-Mobile or an AT&T MVNO?

Unlimited and they seem to be the least intrusive / obtuse. Their coverage map show solid 3G at my house and 4G at work which is expected. Even Verizon shows dead spots between my house and my work as it is a very hilly area with a very large swath of undevelopable land and / or state forest. No roads and no houses means little cell service. AT&T is primarily city focused up here as is T-Mo.

Sounds like a good reason. As far as having unlimited and being the least intrusive/obtuse, Sprint and T-Mobile are the way to go. I take it this means you're giving the Nexus 5 a serious look since it will work on Sprint?
