***Official Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release speculation thread**

[darejer]

I took it out of context first. Busy day at work and didn't read your post clearly.

Sorry if that misled anyone, just a bit excited about this dang phone.

Everyone is so on edge... we'll look for meaning in anything!

Saw snooki and it made me think back to college. Snooky's still around Antimony? Awe the good ole "boro" miss that town burnt most my brain out there, but it was worth every cell....funnest 4 years of my life!

Saw this on AC from a guy that got to play with a friends Nexus (works for Google). Just thought I'd share:

"- It's very very sleek and nice to hold. Very light, but has a solid feel. It makes my Evo look like the brick it is. I wasn't sure I'd like a phone even bigger than the Evo at first.

- ICS is everything you've heard, it was fast and responsive. Scrolling through hundreds of contacts in the new People app (a lot of which had no pictures, and those show up as a grey box which is not very attractive) was no problem.

- Camera is near instant. I took a panorama, it tells you if you're moving the phone too fast, and automatically ends the panorama when you stop moving.

- Some apps already dismiss the software buttons, like the Gallery. Buttons show up when you tap the area, but otherwise the entire screen is usable. Its a big difference.

- ThingsI didn't get to try - browser, face unlock, any system settings.

In general, if you've used Honeycomb, ICS navigation is very similar."

My deepest and most profound apologies. I just read through and realized what I had inadvertently done. Indeed I was rolling my eyes at the headphone tangent. The news I have is from last night.. that we most likely have a bigger battery than everyone else, by 100 mAh.

I never meant to lead folks on. Why it took so long for me to get back was because I didn't know folks were waiting. I was teaching a student and composing a long post for the Guide Central section, basically stating how staff here should be helpful and loving guides to all people, in order that we be known as the most helpful Android Forum on the planet. Serious. No joke. I mean it. I hope we're modelling caring for newbs and others.

Sorry!!!!

Wow, totally worth the wait.

Clock's running, Edison - you now have just under 24 hours to thank 200 people here.

Apparently that was the GSM version... which I guess explains why the FCC passed through the GSM version before VZW's.

CK - Or it could be this version:

Judge: Hans you may question the defendant

*silence*

Judge: Hans!?

Hans: Huh?! Whu?!

Judge: I said it's your witness.

Hans: Oh right........well um. Hold on....

*Hans picks up one piece of paper with one sentence on it.*

Hans: Sir were you at 1245 Mariposa on July 15th, 2011 at 8:45pm

Defendant: No sir I was not

*panic washes over Hans face*

Hans: No further questions your honor

*the courtroom audience starts to get restless and commenting among themselves. The Judge slams the gavel down!*

Judge: Order!! ....Hans you have no further questions for the defendant?

Hans: Um no your honor.

Judge: Hans please approach the bench!.......what the hell are you doing? This man is on trial for murder and just told you that he was not at the scene of the crime and you just walk away?!

Hans: I'm sorry your honor. I'm not prepared at all.

Judge: Not prepared?!! What do you mean not prepared?

Hans: Well I've been spending an inordinate amount of time on a public forum talking about a phone.

Judge: Not the RAZR I hope.

Hans: No sir, the Galaxy Nexus

Judge: SHH... That came out today?

Hans: Yes sir.

Judge: (pounds gavel) We will adjourn for the day, I have some business to attend to. (Runs out of the courthouse to the nearest Verizon store

Better ending

We'll see though, pretty big outcry, and just common business sense you don't piss off your customers before even opening your doors...

Good news: She's coming out to visit in February for a week! I get to see my beautiful red-haired, green eyed 4 year old niece!

Bad news: Her dog, Penny, recently had puppies and even though I told her to reserve one for me (German Shepherd), she didn't.

Yeah, sure wish they could have beat App State, just all the breaks fell the other way. Oh well, great thing about FCS, don't have to worry if you are #1 or #2...

And on a slightly more relevant topic, what do yall think about this?

So just checked the FCC and Samsung submitted 5 documents today.

Nothing good except a filing for a GT-S5690. Not sure what it is, but it does have a microSD slot.

Links are here: https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas...me=N&application_id=650278&fcc_id='A3LGTS5690'

Carry on.
