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

[Rrrracer]

OK, quick question, and something I haven't thought about until now.

This phone requires a special LTE SIM card. Forgive my newbness in this department, but is this something that comes with the phone or does it have to be purchased separately? If the latter, how much are they?

I certainly believe that after owning the TB since it was released.

But still a good sign for those who want to go with the Razr. Maybe they will start showing up in the marketplace a few months after release and I will be tempted to try one out.

If it doesn

Verizon has a team of lawyers. If it was blatantly illegal, they likely wouldn't do it. It is more likely that one of the clauses is open to interpretation which its lawyers can argue in court.

I agree with this. The wording is a little iffy. Handset locking prohibited could mean they cannot lock it to be used ONLY on their network.

Would love for something to come of this, but I'm sure VZW is aware of these regulations and the FCC is aware of locked bootloaders. But, who knows, maybe someone files a class-action suit and wins.

Was the touch sensitive bezel to bring up the soft keys a rumor that got debunked?

Yes, by a lot of hands-on videos.

Well so much for hitting 16k before I leave work... Congrats to whoever gets it... I mean congrats Steven!

Verizon to launch Samsung Galaxy Nexus with LTE - FierceWireless

Seems Verizon will have exclusivity, after all.

As a photographer this is close to my heart. Phone cams are still evolving and as we consumers keep commenting the more ground they will cover to keep in the competition.
As a PI I have this urgent want for a good low light phone cam and I have seen Samsung doing great work there in the GSII.

It remains to be seen what the RAZR will have in this area.

that is why I have passed on Motorola phones in the past their cameras aren't the greatest guess it is sort of deal breaker for me

would have only had to wait like 2 more minutes.

Yeah but I carpool, and I give the guy crap when he is late, so try not to be late myself if I can help it.

that is an bummer hope cm team can get ics out by end of the year. If its going to be an vzw exclusive for ics devices for the four or five months than I may have to think hard about getting an iphone 4

If it doesn’t have to come through Verizon, I believe it. If Verizon handles the updates, you won’t see it til late Q1, in my opinion.

Correct..we are looking at 10-11 weeks for it to push to RAZR's assuming it passes thru internal testing on first run.

 

[RadYOacTiVe]

Just got the server is busy on my refresh...i think Steven is messing with us!

 

[pcj]

What, no spam leading to 16k?

True, but it doesn't stop me from using it.

The big question is how long that exclusivity window is.

 

[zx10droid]

hilarious, now its exclusive again

 

[Ytram]

You guys are crashing the server again at your attempt to get 16k

 

[pcj]

nope

 

[Ytram]

But I think I'm going to get it instead...

Bah, off by one

 

[zx10droid]

WIN!!!
