Sense? Blech.
not to derail this thread more but thankfully that won't be an issue since HTC phones have great dev communities and unlockable bootloaders.Sense? Blech.
camera, screen and battery all will / or are eclipsed by x or s3.
So you're saying that an unreleased phone (that we don't even know the specs of) and a phone released 6 months after the GNex are both better than the GNex?
The only thing wrong is battery but any LTE device until they get built in is going to suck. Once they get VoLTE running its going to be another boost since you won't need both radios constantly on.
It's crazy how long the Galaxy Nexus has held the top spot.
i remember my little sister had that phone on Virgin Mobile... she was ok with it, but was super happy to get an Android phone instead. all i remember was the touchscreen was really wonky...I'm really hoping that the Galaxy 3 or whatever Samsung are unveiling on the 4th is available on Sprint from the get-go. Not going to hold my breath, but my current contract expired in early April so I'm due for an upgrade and want to finally jump on the smartphone bandwagon. So for me it's either the next Galaxy or hold out for the iPhone 5 whenever that thing bothers to show up. I have no real preference between Android or iOS, so at this point it's whichever comes to Sprint first :/
Been using an LG Rumor Touch (with no data plan) for the last two years.
The physical keyboard is nice but good lord the touchscreen and software are terrible. Upgrading to a smartphone of any kind would be a huge jump in tech either way.
Not to mention the fact that 3G radios will still have to be used for quite a while.The S4 soc will have the LTE radio built in, so we'll get awesome battery before VoLTE comes out.

I don't think the one x is getting any spectacular battery life
The handset ships with Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and comes with Google Wallet pre-installed (including a $10 credit to get you started with the company's mobile payment service).

The Nexus in the "Galaxy Nexus" name still lives!!
Absolute bargain! That's only £250 pounds. Crazy cheap. Even with tax I'd still pay under £300...
EDIT: Are they selling it in white? I really hope they bring this to the UK.
Yeah that's an insanely good deal.
Maybe google will push for the pin docks to hit the states now?

Nice! Hope this means Google is looking into making their own phone down the road.
I sure hope so!
Sim, I've set my phone to open play links in the play app which doesn't show me anything in the UK. Could you confirm if white is available?
There seems to be only one SKU. No other options to choose from. Don't believe they are selling the White one.
The XL is the one with the S4, and so far it's doing great on battery. It's reaching 4-5 hours of screen on time when the Tegra 3 version only gets around 3.
You can install Google Wallet on the the GN even if you're on T-Mobile!
Regular simI'll definitely jump on that $400 offer to replace my Nexus One.
Quick question: Does the phone use a sim or a micro-sim?
Regular sim
Great. Also, I'm assuming it has the same free "tethering and wireless hotspot" menu that my Nexus One has and that's been removed from the carrier versions?
Just making sure that I dont lose any functionality, since my N1 is my clutch wireless hotspot and I dont want to pay for a tethering plan.
assuming you used it, did you ever get a text from at&t telling you that tethering requires a plan? I got one on my nexus one while running a 4.0 rom and I read somewhere that while 2.3 and below didn't distinguish data used on the phone itself and data done by tethering (the way iPhones/WP7 do) it was possible that this changed.indeed it does. (assuming its exactly the same as the unlocked from the UK i had)
Sweet deal on the G Nexus.
I'll bite once it's down to $200.
I want this phone so badly! I have an iPhone right now and the associated data plan and whatever, so if I get this phone, will I have to change anything with my data plan to get internet, etc if I'm on AT&T?

Are anyone else's soft keys lagging or have choppy animations? Mine seems to have just started doing this.

I noticed mine were a bit laggy today too.
Always when the phone is heavily multitasking.

If you are on a custom rom, you can shut off the button glow animation. It helps to speed up whatever process is related to the button press.
Wanna hear something strange?
I have app drawer set to open when the home button is pressed while on the desktop. If button glow animations are kept on, the frame rate is cut in half when the app drawer transition animation starts. With the animations off, that same transition is a silky smooth 60fps.
Also, another quirk I noticed that's a difference between my GN and iPad 3. In iOS, the system tends to halt animations and data processing while you interact with the screen (scrolling a web page or app for instance), and resumes after you let go.
On the GN (or just Android period), the system continues to process data and animations at the same time you interact with the touch screen. This usually means choppy performance, but results are MUCH faster than they are on the iPad.
Interesting trade offs.....
there was a large article on this on G+, along with some hubub about an intern saying android will never be as smooth because of it.
So my usage of an iphone increased the other day. I was playing with an iphone4 (previously only a 3GS) running the newest ios. Talk about choppy
