Android Galaxy Nexus + Ice Cream Sandwich

Synack · 10-19-2011, 09:42 AM

Anyone getting this beast combination? I am for damn sure. Was just announced last night.

You can watch the full introductory video here:
androiddevelopers's Channel - YouTube

Or one of the first promo ads:
Introducing Galaxy Nexus. Simple, beautiful, beyond smart - YouTube

This combo looks amazing.

After reading the comments i guess i am an iYuppie.

I love how people fight over which is better, and they usually use the same type of behavior to rag on the iphone crowd, as they are ragging on the iPhone crowd for using...

Wait, yea, I think that makes sense.

I tried an android, didn't like it. Became an Apple fan, have had every iPhone and love my new 4S.

Ice Cream Sandwich...I like that.

I would love to get it, but seeing as I am with Sprint I don't know if I will be able to.

As far as the Apple/Google war. I think most importantly it comes down to which interface you prefer. They both have their pros and cons, and as they continue to copy each other those pros and cons will all start to blur together. Unless of course, one of them sues the other into the ground.

Verizon/Tmo/AT&T/Sprint are all getting the Nexus.

And 007MI6, by the sound of it, it's been a very long time since you've touched an Android, but since you already just bought the 4S, there's no point in trying to convince you to switch to the light side.

theDreamer · 10-20-2011, 09:44 AM

Was waiting on this phone, but honestly some of the leaked specs were so much better.
The RAZR and this phone are basically the same, RAZR is thinner and currently lacks ICS (update is early 2012), and neither specs are pushing the limits in my opinion.

It was going to be either this phone or an iPhone 4S, I will be going 4S for the next year. Android OS has improved a lot lately but not enough.

I'll be getting this or whichever Android phone is best in March when I can upgrade my phone.

Yes, it has been awhile. I've always been perfectly happy with my iPhones though, it's ATT that pi**es me off, but I can't be without data and voice at the same time.

I have the iPhone, iPad, iMac trio going, and I like they way that they all sync and flow. Android makes a nice phone, it's just not for me.

m4a1mustang · 10-20-2011, 09:53 AM

All I know is I need to upgrade soon. My Droid 2 is junk.

b1adesofcha0s · 10-20-2011, 09:59 AM

I have a Droid Incredible, which is still running good right now. Recently rooted it and flashed some copy of Android 2.3, which is nice but still has some bugs. My sister just upgraded from an original Droid to the Droid 3 like 1-2 months ago.

Synack · 10-20-2011, 10:07 AM

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.
