This was posted in the Android OT, thought it would be relevant here too:

If true, I'm guessing google wants to keep the $350 price point and is simply going to do a spec bump to an OMAP 4470. I'm not sold on this based on the fact that it claims to have an SD card slot and google has very clear reasons why they've been omitted on the past 3 nexus devices.
i have major doubts that this is at all true.

has calmed down a bit.
I'm out of the loop, why is google excluding SD cards in Nexus devices now?
they have ever since they got any semblance of storage built in. They say its a UI issue and they can't seamlessly integrate the SD into the OS as far as usability goes, so they don't offer it

So the third party phones that offer SD slots, how do they do it?

by solving problems instead of running away from them.
What does your S3 do when you plug it into a computer, and how does it distinguish where to save files to?
they haven't solved shit, they just ignore the problem. Its pretty clear from the skins they put on devices that they dont give a shit about UI

sorry, im a bit behind the curve in terms of smartphones.
just wanted to know why the nexus is better.
seems like the evo LTE is faster no?
I feel that on sprint the EVO will have better support and longevity. If he wants updates, he's going to have to flash custom roms regardless.

This is the only reason I'd consider it a possibility. We haven't heard anything else aside from that 5 devices rumor anyway.
oops, sorry for the doublepost

yeah, im going to use the CM9 rom.
Just go to a store and try out the nexus, EVO and galaxy S3. Can't go wrong with any of them to be honest.
we got a rumor from the Japanese carrier about an LG, a Sony and a Samsung Nexus
disappointed that there's no HTC Nexus One X listed :/
No one knows. It took them something like 6 months to simply update from 4.0.1 to 4.0.4, so a jump to 4.1 could take even longer.

I'm hoping that as with 4.0.4, there will be a leaked 4.1 before official 4.1 drops. All I want is a bone-stock AOSP 4.1 + My Verizon support I can flash. My Verizon Tuna has stock 4.0.4 and I love stock Android, the only thing I've done with it is add Leankernel.
jelly belly is your friend.....just do it
When I finally upgraded my old Droid Incredible about a month ago, I had to make the tough choice on whether or not I wanted the Verizon G-Nexus (I knew I wanted stock Android). I ended up bailing and getting the GSM G-Nexus on AT&T. I have little to no faith in Verizon's upgrade process, and half the point of getting stock Android for me is getting timely access to OS upgrades.

Have a question about cases and screen protectors. Doing a lot of research for a heavy duty case for my father. Just got him a free Galaxy Nexus from Best Buy. He carries his phones around in holsters and works in a crane, so I'm thinking of going with this Ottorbox Commuter as a case and this Seidio Active Holster for the holster. Since I've seen a couple people say that case works with this holster I figure i'm safe there. I guess I need a screen protector too, so what do you guys recommend that doesn't create crazy smudge marks or that horrible rainbow effect? Is it even worth it to get a screen protector with this case? I don't use one on mine. I would have gotten the Ottorbox Defender (which does all this in one solution), but many of the reviews say the built in screen protector is shit and dirt gets inside which scratches the screen.
Isnt Samsung rumored to get JB out to international GS3's late this month? I would die laughing if a third party device hit JB before Verizons shitty Nexus.

I just got a Sprint Gnex about 2 weeks ago, but I am well versed in customs ROMs as I was a owner of the original Nexus One. I want Jelly Bean, but need to know some of the pitfalls of flashing this phone.

get 911 on standby, there have already been at least 3 JB leaks for the international GS3, it's not looking good for toro.
pitfalls include flashing addiction and a new sense of smugness.

What is special about that?
T-Mobile SGS3 leak right on cue
Easier to just read the official thread where he explains it but essentially they are the 'purest' and most up to date GAPPS available basically. I refuse to use any others at this point.

Which link should I use and will flashing it result in me having a missing gallery or a duplicate one?

Love the the Commuter.
Still haven't found a screen protector I really like though. Wasn't a fan of the Zagg or whatever that ones called. Too noticeable and the texture was too "sticky". I'm on a different one that I can't remember but it was a wet app too. Much more invisible but there are marks on it.
Quality of life for the rest of us on here would have gone down either way.
love ya jay
Normal one, non-custom, is the one I am using...and having a normal syncing Gallery is why I like them. No dupes either.

So is it safe to cross-flash stock 4.0.4 to one of the JB ROMs, and then someday when the official Google 4.1 ROM drops, flash back to the official ROM? I don't want to reinstall everything again and again. I went through that with my old Droid X and it always took me a whole day to get my phone back the way it was.

I've also just cracked my screen, it's an old Evo 4g. The screen on the evo is still somewhat usable, just looks gnarly. I still have a little more than a month until my next upgrade, and I do plan to stay with them. Should I buy a Nexus S or Galaxy Nexus secondhand cheap for now, or just wait it out?

gnex second hand is still pretty expensive.
