Android Galaxy Nexus + Ice Cream Sandwich

Running on a Droid Charge with a custom Gingerbread 2.3.

@b1adesofcha0s - You might as well wait for the Samsung Galaxy S3, the Nexus definitely won't be the best specced by then.

I think that's what I'll probably do. I bought an HTC EVO 4G out of contract when I shattered my old Palm Pre. I'm sitting on an upgrade right now and while the Nexus would definitely be an upgrade from the EVO, the specs don't really blow me away. The Galaxy S3 looks like it's going to be a beast and I would hate to use my upgrade on the Nexus and then be pissed when the Galaxy S3 comes out.

Hopefully I'll be able to resist the urge for new technology and keep the EVO until next year. It's practically brand new.

The only thing about all Nexus devices is that they are ALL naturally faster than comparably specced phones. This is because Nexus phones have the stock Android UI with absolutely no wireless carrier extra software garbage. Also they don't have any brand specific UI's like Samsung has Touchwiz, Moto has Motoblur, HTC has Sense, etc etc. All of those things make a high specced phone run slower. Which is why you always see a Nexus phone benchmark so much higher. AND Nexus phones will always be the first to be updated! That's why I absolutely cannot resist it.

Do you think the Galaxy S3 will have Touchwiz on it? I guess I didn't realize not having it third party UIs was a Nexus thing. When I saw the Galaxy Nexus on the press release I was hoping Google was finally getting away from this open source crap that lets everyone put their useless software on all the phones.

Nope, they still will let carriers and manu's put their garbage on there, but never with a Nexus phone. The Galaxy S3 will definitely have Touchwiz, but were on Touchwiz4 right now and I really like it, TW5 should be even better. TW just keeps getting more and more refined and elegant. But the Nexus will not have anything but the original stock unmodified fast as hell version of Ice Cream Sandwich. Of course I'll be going in myself and changing some of the icons.
