I'm in Canada. There is pre-orders up for the Nexus in Canada as well but only 16GB that I can see so far. The particular provider I'm with does not have the bandwidth allocation just yet to consistently support high speeds so my reliance on cloud-based services isn't appealing right now.

Hook us up with the link. Interesting that pre-orders are going up in Canada as well.

Off-topic: cannot believe I forgot about Spumoni Gardens (not sure how), but that is true. That is amazing.

I have yet to get to DiFara's though, but have heard great things.

I'm seeing some rumors being thrown around about the 32GB version not dropping until 2012.

Has anyone else heard about this or is it unfounded bull?

I know that people on this forum have 'sources' - are there one or two SKUs in the Verizon inventory database?

Source? Links?
 
Has anyone noticed in any of the hands on videos if the screen rotates all 4 directions in ICS? I am not thrilled about the headphone jack being at the bottom but if the screen will flip upside down it shouldn't be a problem.

Until the phone rings and you try to listen to the notification light... :)

Anyone know if there is a HDR function in ICS on the SGN? I'd like the answer ASAP, or PDQ. THX

Thanks for the answer, Stigy!

I had to look that one up -

HDR is also known as high dynamic range, where all areas of an image--from the lightest to darkest parts--are properly exposed. Compact cameras with HDR mode have the ability to accurately expose bright backgrounds and dim foregrounds (and vice versa). It does this by rapidly capturing multiple exposures of the same scene and combining it into a single image.

In typical situations, normal compact cameras without HDR mode would expose a shot to either the darkest or lightest parts of a scene. For instance, in backlit situations where the sun is behind the subject, your camera may expose for the sun and cause the subject to appear as a silhouette.

From - What is HDR mode? - Ask CNET Asia

BTW - Asia CNET is everything that CNET is not - just a tip for the day. ;)

That kind of reminds me of the Ebay seller who is selling in anticipation of an eventual release. I could make such a site and sell right now. Tell everybody I'll get it to them at official release.

If you're in UK where they already have pre-orders, give phones4u a call and ask them why is only the 16GB up.

The point is moot for other US carriers as this is supposed to be a Verizon exclusive for some time, no?

I'm from the UK and I've heard we're only getting the 16gb from at least 2 diff sources (only on the web, don't have links). I'm not going to call phones 4u, I wouldn't give those --blams-- the time of day.
 
Quick question about the Galaxy Nexus, or I guess it is actually about newer versions of Android. I've been using an Eris for the last two years and recently switched to the iphone 4s. I returned it the next day and went back to the Eris for a couple of reasons, the biggest being there were two things I couldn't stand about the iphone browser.

The first was that it didn't wrap text, so I would continuously have to scroll to the right to read the second half of a sentence. The second was that every time I refreshed a web page, I had to zoom in again to read things. I couldn't figure out a way to keep the page zoomed in after I hit refresh.

My Eris would wrap text as well as keep pages zoomed in. Is it likely that the Galaxy Nexus will do both of these things? I'm getting a little nervous since the few videos I've seen using the Galaxy Nexus browser seemed to show it zoomed out every time the browser was opened.

I see no reason why they would change the way they wrap text from Honeycomb or Gingerbread to ICS.

I like it better on the bottom. If I have it in an arm band while running I prefer it on the bottom. My phone is usually upside down in the band so I can lift my arm and see it better when changing songs or settings on my Endomondo sports tracker.

Will widget locker still use the security lock? I have a PIN set up to unlock my phone and every screen locker I've used by passes the security lock and I don't like that very much.

kind of on an unrelated topic does apple getting patent on sliding to unlock phones have anything to do with ics going with facial recognition as their way of unlocking phones ?

No, but it might have something to do with the radial design they used this time.

Facial recognition is an optional feature anyways.
