It's not? Have you seen how long it takes other companies to get updates going?

yeah but all they have to do is software, they aren't a hardware company at all, they have nothing else to do. I just expect sooner.

You may be happy with the schedule but luckily people like me exist who hope for/expect better to push these companies.

I'd agree with 1-4, and 6.

Don't see the different processors thing happening. I don't think it will be a AMOLED Plus, and even if it were, iPhone 4 screen would still have a higher DPI. But, I don't think it's a big deal once you're hitting around 300 dpi so the Nexus will have the superior screen easily. Can't see that powerful of a battery in this slim of a phone, with that resolution screen, and dual-core. I'd guess closer to 1900-2000 and expect the same kind of battery life as most good Android phones. 8MP camera, yes. 2MP up front, imo.

Reasons why I think different procs is because Samsung won't have mass quantities of their chip and will defer to the TI chip for the global phone. As for the battery, depending on the design, it will be at least 2000mWH.

Well, they can't OTA hardware yet, so I'm not sure what else there is for them to be updating.

Oops, I just realized I've been telling everyone today is the 18th because the event is on the 19th, but it's tomorrow for me.

Wow.

If my phone has a tendency to act funny and stop booting up when my microSD card is in the slot and works fine when it isn't, is there a way to check what's wrong with the SD card/files on it or should I just get a replacement?

I just got that Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 today. The screen is huge but I think I'm going to like that. It's charging right now so I haven't got a chance to use it yet, but I'm pretty excited since it's going to be my first Android device. I've been waiting to sink my teeth into one of these for so long.

Chrome browser + tabbed browsing

hardware acelleration to make things buttery smooth like iOS and WP7

refinements to UI and refinements under the hood to make everything run better/more efficiently/more enjoyably

Cover those and I'll be a happy camper. 2 of the 3 would be decent enough. 1 of the 3 would be :/. Even more than 3 of the 3 would be hhhhhnnnnnnngggggg.

PS, I am very disturbed knowing that Coperdickus had a 4 minute window to help me and chose not to. The honeymoon may be over.

That's pretty good for me. If I can just get through a day, that would be nice. Which reminds me, does Android allow you to turn 4G off so you can flip between 3G and 4G?

Ya, you're able to.

What can I say? You can rip off the name but not the friendly wit.

Having posters on G+ kinda ruins what I imagined what gaffers look like, not sure how I'm going to handle being in a hangout with video. This huge video of jtwo popped up on my computer today...

This is true and the talk of videos and hangouts and stuff is making me uncomfortable.

Is ICS coming to older phones like Droid X ?
Click to expand...

This is the worst part for me. I am excited to here about ICS...but I know it's not like it will be available tomorrow for my phone. I have a Droid X and I am assuming I will only be getting ICS through custom roms.

My idea was just to put it up about a half hour before.. right around the time our party starts.

Don't tell copernicus you're making tacos, he'll think you a lying fool.

(I think it's a CM bug, I think force stopping the launcher should clear it up.)
