Since the Gingerbread email app can handle multiple Exchange accounts, I would have to expect that the ICS email app can handle multiple exchange accounts as well.

Great, then I can setup my gmail accounts as Exchange accounts in the email app!!

I thanked you even though I knew all of this already. Great post for first time people who maybe don't follow the news as closely (or Twitter) as some of us do. Thanks again!

Is there a notification LED on it?

Is there a notification LED on it?

Yes, there is. It is located at the bottom of the phone, just below the screen.

Does it have a notification LED?

Yes, on the bottom bezel in the middle. Click here for a picture of it.



Does it support USB host mode, so we can attach flash drives and devices to the USB port?

Yes, ICS supports USB Host Mode. The Galaxy Nexus definitely supports it with its hardware, too, because it was announced that it would support USB game controllers. How it will treat attached flash storage is not known yet but it is almost certain that the functionality will be there.

How will apps and widgets downloaded from the market look on this hd screen, given the higher res? Thanks! This post was just what I was looking for, well done.

Depends on the widget/app. Since the screen size isn't a lot bigger, most shouldn't look bad. Obviously, this and the Note and tablets are issuing in a new generation of high resolutions so most developers will re-render their images in larger sizes.

Fonts will scale and look good because they're not fixed graphics. Most apps look good on my tablet, even though the tablet is higher resolution AND a larger screen.

In general, though, there will be some overlap time while the developers build their apps to the ICS software development kit and ensure that higher resolution devices are supported - in that time, the images will be stretched a little and you'll be able to see that. They aren't going to look awful, though.

Well done! Will sticky.

My biggest concern is will the battery be removable? This is a deal breaker for me on the Motorola Droid Razr and I still have my Droid 1. Great post BV!

The battery has been known to be removable for a while now, you don't need to worry about that.

How about the display? I heard that the Galaxy Nexus does not have Super AMOLED Plus. If it is correct, what are we missing? Can you add this to the list please?

You are missing nothing, it has a Super Amoled HD display.

Actually I saw someone in the mega thread saying you can remove the search button on any home screen. Hope that's true.

 

[Rhystatic]

You can definitely remove it on the 3 droids I've owned... Just like any other widget, hold and drag to the trash

Are you sure that's also the case with ICS in Nexus?

 

[Stigy]

I am not 100% sure its the case with the Nexus because of the lack of dedicated search button.

I guess we will find out when test units go out or the device is released.

 

[RadYOacTiVe]

I read the post too but they did not say how it was removed. At the least, I hope it can be moved somewhere else on the screen.

Will it have swype?

Will it have swype?

Hopefully not...you're better off installing it yourself.

 

[mills23]

Not from what I've seen. It has a lot of bugs.

Strange...I haven't noticed any bugs. Also, its not like they create special bug-free versions to put on phones from the OEMs. The OEMs get the same stuff that's out there right now. And if the DX is any indicator, you won't get a newer version...ever! The big difference (for me) is that i won't have to go through the PITA process of removing the stock Swype before I can upgrade to a newer version.

Using the emulator I wasn't able to move or delete the built-in search bar at the top of the screen but I was able to add the normal search bar as a widget and move it around freely.

I went to Sprint and got the S2.
Great Phone.
Before I went I went to U Tube and watched people putting the usb OTG cable in the bottom and using a flash drive for storage.

It wont work.
I don't get it?
Is there an upgrade or app or does anyone have an idea why this wont work on my sprint phone??
