Asus = Premiere hardware and support.

I used Asus motherboards exclusively when it was beneficial to build your own computer.

I tried out the transformer recently. It was excellent. I decided to wait for a tablet.

Asus also is one of the few companies that actually manufacturers notebooks/laptops, and builds some of the dells, hp, apple products. I had an Asus notebook, it was a really nice machine. There mobo's are fantastic for geeks that wanna overclock. Very well built.

Nitpicking is good. You never know when what everyone else considers a minuscule issue is a deal breaker for you.

I agree to some point -- I guess hating is a better word.

XDA is filled with people who are hating on the phone and don't even have one yet and I am sure they are just frustrated with the fact that its not out in the US yet.

Are you going to go away from the GNex for good? Or repurchase when they fix the issue?

It depends how they fix it. It's been proven to be a hardware issue, so if they release new handsets with the issue fixed I'll be all over it, I love the phone and I'm sure you guys will to.

If they release some sort of half arsed software patch to mask the issue, I'll have to take a view as to how that affected the phone's performance. Looks like you guys in the US should have no such issues.

Yeah, true, I saw your comment, hadn't read the article. Nitpicking is good, hating is bad.

From AC:

Indirect Verizon retailers free to order the ... Galaxy Nexus

galaxy-nexus-indirect.jpg


Pardon us a minute while we read way too much into something. The screen you see here is what indirect Verizon retailers -- as in not a corporate-branded store -- now see to order their own Samsung Galaxy Nexus stock. And note that it says Samsung Galaxy Nexus, not Samsung Nexus Prime, which reappeared on a Best Buy flyer first posted in our Galaxy Nexus forums last night.

Point is, it's still coming to Verizon ... eventually ... and we're still expecting it to be the Galaxy Nexus. Probably.

Congrats! Although I can't help but see the name Asus and think Wal-Mart (not that Wal-Mart is inherently bad. I shop there all the time, just not for electronics). I want to like it but maybe I'm just too uneducated about the Asus name brand.
Asus makes motherboards, along with gigabyte they are the most trusted choice for pc enthusiast

Edit: actually I bet you were thinking of ACER not Asus

So I guess $619 is the off-contract price.


I know we've talked the USB Mass Storage thing to death already, but I just wanted to let all Mac users (like myself) know that Macs will be able to utilize the Mass Transfer Protocol that is replacing the USB Mass Storage in the Nexus. All we have to do is download an extra app called Android File Transfer to our computers.

Also a lot of people using Mac or Linux are talking about using WiFi file transfer instead of having to plug into their computer at all.

Let's face it, xda is not known for being friendly. They have good info of you're willing to search and search for it.

I can't wait to have a gig of ram and fast access to storage!

Accessing a class 2 MicroSD card on my Droid is painfully slow and available RAM is always balanced on a razor's edge.


Will everything being in the phone itself make accessing the gallery quicker? That's almost painfully slow on any rom I use.

Ok, I'm getting fed up suffering through my Blackberry's endless life. I've had this stupid thing for 3 years now and I want to step out of the dark ages. I really don't want to go the "renting" route out of fear that Verizon will donkey punch me in the face then point and laugh after they delay the GN, but I'm getting to the point of no restraint. Should I wait until 12/1 to rent? That way I figure I'd still be within the return period if they delayed it a few days. I figure I can hold off for another week.

Hi. My names Dubie and I'm living in the past. I need help.
