Repeating my question since this thread is going so fast:

If I buy this in the US, will I be able to unlock it ?

How strict is Google with the unlocks, are they like Apple ?

Dude, nobody knows now. It'll be sold unlocked, definitely.

It begins!

At least now I won't have a craving for an ice cream sandwich each time I hear about the next big Android update.

MercuryLS · Oct 19, 2011

Is ICS going to be available as an upgrade for my Nexus S?

Kinitari · Oct 19, 2011

Very solid, nice new updates. Nice to hear it's going to be standardized across tablets and phones as well. I mean we already knew that, but it's still nice to hear again.

Wonder if the Nexus S gets ICS treatment

Noricart · Oct 19, 2011

They didn't say a damn thing about pricing, or the carriers they selected in the U.S and Europe.

metro isn't an OS

horizontal swiping has been around for ages.

F the 4S, F the Razr, Galaxy Nexus is my next phone.

I'm sure. The Nexus S has only had 1 version of Android...

nib95 · Oct 19, 2011

Not sold. The majority of features I've seen in iOS (though having them is nice) and the UI looked a little cluttered or complex, and slightly mish mashed in design or aesthetic. A few cool new additions though, and despite being 5mp only, camera looked solid. Guess UI responsiveness and battery will decide it for me, but the GPU inside is very disappointing.

The stories of still slightly laggy UI are very disconcerting, don't really see the benefits of hardware acceleration immediately.

Probably sometime after GN gets released in November?

Beam is NFC tap-to-share on steroids.

DrFunk · Oct 19, 2011

No pricing info, specific carrier (i.e. AWS?) support, and no demo of ICS on tablets. still a decent event though and I'm getting this device day one it's available for T-Mobile/Wind/Mobilicity.

It has a pentaband radio

At this point, the only thing I want them to focus on is the UI. Feature-wise, it looks good.

Bump to get an app is boss.

But I'll never use it since no one I know but me will have an Android 4.0 phone.

You must not know many people. I know tons of people with Android phones.

might be time to drop my droid 1. hopefully this new job comes threw next week so i can afford such things.

I'm with you. I still have the OG Droid, it's finally time to move on. ICS looks great, and the Prime looks killer too. Though I have to say that the RAZR looked good too, wonder if we'll see an announcement that it'll be running ICS day one now?

If you can't even say that that shit was a vast improvement over GB or HC you're god damn delusional.

They had me at "Nexus."

Then they pulled me even tighter with "720p screen."

Damn, SDK hasn't been updated yet :/

OK, so when the hell will this be open sourced Google?

If those demos were anything to go by, they don't have final code yet.

I'd expect it once it's stable.

Dude. You don't even know what Metro is.

Swiping left/right is not a Metro-only thing.

My point was that almost none of them will be upgraded to 4.0. Unless the tons of people you know are all into ROMs.

Clutter? Are you kidding me? Did you not see the full ability to condense condense condense to your hearts content via folders and the like? They did a damn fine job.

flsh · Oct 19, 2011

Can't wait for ICS. Hopefully a high end 4" phone comes in the next year that fully supports all the features for when the Nexus S doesn't cut it anymore.
A lot of complaints but it does seem that they really have gotten their shit together. Most of my complaints can be fixed with hacks, so I don't really care that much.

Circle T · Oct 19, 2011

Just tell me when Google, because you can have all my dollars. Looked excellent. Really like the all the little tweaks.

My main problem with the ICS build is the small icon sizes on the selection screens.

What is up with that?

I'm guessing the target areas are the same, just the icons smaller, they seemed spaces out well enough.

Its just anything now that has any sort of scrolling to the right or left and people are crying foul.

planar1280 · Oct 19, 2011

They showed that you can access your notifications when your phone is locked. isn't that a privacy flaw?

BigFwoosh · Oct 19, 2011

Haven't been this jazzed about an Android release since Eclair. G-Nex is my next phone, without a doubt.

Lol at my opinion? Okay. It's obviously vastly more feature-rich, but I think the UI looks damn ugly.
