Support NeoGAF

[Vanillalite]

Love the browser, updated apps, and in general the new feature set. I'm also alllll about that fucking resolution. I'm still not sold on the actual underlying look of Android though. Just the core setup never really has spoken to me yet. It's hard to deny how feature rich the product has become with 4.0 though.

 

[Shakala]

Anyone know if the battery is removable?

When they mentioned the "hyper skin" on the back they said "battery cover" so I'm assuming it is

 

[Divvy]

Are people complaining about the look forgetting that it's android and that you can customize it to hell and back?

When they mentioned the "hyper skin" on the back they said "battery cover" so I'm assuming it is

Ah, thanks

 

[blitz64]

For verizon, I hope it is
$249 for 16gb version
$299 for 32gb version

Why would you let your designers put the app icons over the thumbnails, Duarte? Seems obvious that it should be under the text, to the right, or not there at all.

 

[nib95]

Nib I love you man but you're fucking crazy man, you karazy.

Shit looks smooth as hell.

Lol. Well I am pretty crazy!

Agreed

 

[Cipherr]

Why have two clocks? sloppy... *shrug*

I checked it here on the emulator. Long press, drag to trash

Completely agree. That's the worst UI blunder of ICS I've seen so far.

Yep, it is.

 

[kehs]

Maybe it's a failsafe in case nothing actually renders from the screen, so you still have something in the spot. Either way, I hate those previews.

I think they didn't want to confuse people. The goal probably was to condition users to touch the recognizable icon in the middle of the thumbnail in order to switch to or swipe it away. If the icon was on the side some users might go try to swipe the side icon under the text instead of the thumbnail.

 

[Jeels]

I am not interested in the hardware at this time, but how the heck could they not announced ICS release, even on their own devices. My Nexus S is ready.

 

[Foob]

guess it's time to figure out a way out of my at&t contract cause i neeeed this

 

[Shakala]

Lack of sd card slot is my only disappointment

 

[georgc]

guess it's time to figure out a way out of my at&t contract cause i neeeed this

So no chance of this coming to AT&T cause I love my unlimited plan.

 

[fatigues_gasolini]

I might be picking this up, though off contract. My Droid Charge is awful.

 

[Divvy]

The previews are exactly the same as in honeycomb.

 

[kehs]

Is there a link to rewatch it, I missed the first like 15 minutes? There's nothing up at youtube.com/android

 

[∀ Narayan]

Seems very curvy.

I got my Nexus S last year and won't be upgrading any time soon, but this phone looks pretty nice.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

SD card slot?

 

[DrFunk]

So no chance of this coming to AT&T cause I love my unlimited plan.

Unlocked, yes. With contract? Nope

 

[Blackhead]

Guys, they know you don't want 2 clocks on the lockscreen:

 

[dsunit1]

This phone will be mine day 1.

 

[Korey]

I hope the Metro comparisons will stop now, because Matias clearly doesn't like it.

“Across the board Google and Android is taking design a lot more seriously,” Matias says, and points out that Roboto is used throughout the system. “There’s this thing that’s happening right now in user interface design that I find kind of shackling."

Apple owns rectangles and MS owns squares.

I LOVE YOU !!!!

 

[Deleted member 17706]

This should be bannable. Nobody has shown any lag in it yet.

Edit: From the videos from The Verge, I see no lag.

R...really?

That looks particularly smooth to you?

 

[Divvy]

Oh Canada!

http://mobilesyrup.com/2011/10/18/g...canada-will-get-the-galaxy-nexus-in-november/

Fantastic! Now just need the price!

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Fuck.

Please AT&T. I only have till the 5th of november to return my GS2. Give me a date. That is all i ask.

 

[kehs]

It's okay Zefah, by nothing android will ever be smooth, just move on.

no, not you, yes i agree, i dont like that. The quote and that image don't go together for me

 

[voodoojohn]

Will the LTE version work overseas?

 

[brotkasten]

Squares = Metro.

I've heard Microsoft patented squares. Thank God every major Android OEM has a license now.

 

[zedge]

Apple owns rectangles and MS owns squares.

I lol

 

[Ferrio]

So is it over? They didn't give any pricing/carrier/release date details?

So, yes/no/still more?

 

[gcubed]

“I came here because they’re winning, but also because I could not stand the thought of there being another decade of being trapped in one paradigm, of being trapped in the past just because somebody manages to grab maximum marketshare, and then that’s the thing everybody uses with incremental evolution.”

“I thought ‘okay you know what, I’ve tried to win so many times before,’ and it’s been shown that it doesn’t matter how great a product you have and how revolutionary the product is… distribution and marketshare are the things that matter.” Matias smiles, “Now I’m going the other way around.”

lolz Duarte.

So, yes/no/still more?

nope i'm assuming it will come out all this week

 

[reKon]

the phone looks good overall and ICS has some really nice features, but the lack of an HDMI port is kind of big for me...

The lack of an SD card is also disappointed. These are things that the Nexus S did not have

 

[Hobbestetrician]

Oh Canada!

http://mobilesyrup.com/2011/10/18/g...canada-will-get-the-galaxy-nexus-in-november/

YES YES YES! Just moved to Canada and will need a new phone soon so this is good news.

 

[Bad_Boy]

hyper skin?

 

[jokkir]

Oh Canada!

http://mobilesyrup.com/2011/10/18/go...s-in-november/

Yes. I was just about to switch me phone too. I guess I'll wait for this!
