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

[JesusTheKing]

I'm on my way back from seeing the almighty LTE G-nex! I took some photos as well.

Here's one with the proper apps disabled;

Here's one showing car home doesn't work yet ;

Here's a comparison shot with my Droid;

Here's a very happy me, hehe

And finally, here's a screenshot from it showing my post (I Bluetooth'd it to my phone)

What rom are you running on that droid?

 

[Mr. Link]

Quiet tonight...everyone driving back from NYC? I didn't know the event was open to the public!

Christmas is coming early this week.

it will have to be done with root. the thing is tho, they take up a total of right about 2mb between them, and can be disabled so easily that going through a lot of trouble to remove them really doesnt achieve anything

Yeah I agree, not a big deal to most, heck it would be really easy to remove them with root too. It wouldn't bother me, but some it does. Good news this is a Nexus device so easily to remove.

Also I wonder when Verizon stores are going to be getting display models in.

 

[MMcCraryNJ]

Is it possible to complete uninstall the verizon apps and just disable them? Or is this only something you can do to root?

I think the cooler things with this phone are going to be what developers can think up with ICS. I would absolutely love the ability to minimize the on screen buttons on websites and not just on video.

May not be possible to completely uninstall them, but disabling them is just the same. They won't show up in your app drawer and they won't ever run. The only thing you won't get out of disabling them is the space they take up, which together = a paltry 3 or 4 MB. To that I say, who cares?

How did it feel compared to the droid in hand and overall?

Lighter, bigger but sooooo much Nicer!

 

[Mr. Link]

How did the screen interact? Is this screen going to support multi-touch...because I'm pretty sure the Dinc screen doesn't.

Not am event, just a Samsung experience store showing off the goods! The tree was okay too, I guess....

Thats what i thought. The Note is clocked at 1.4GHz. What i find suprising is that in the graphics department, even with an older GPU, the Nexus outperformed the Note.

Proving that the OMAP 4460 in the Nexus was an excellent choice.

The Dinc screen supports multi touch... most phones these days do

from the ifixit teardown, iirc it has a 10-touch input module, so unless its software restricted, it should

 

[Wilfred B]

Is that the stock charger with the blue LED?

Unfortunately not. This is what they look like. A lot better that HTC's mind.

 

[tpags]

Why could there not of been a Samsung store in the Chi. I'm jeolous.

LOL nice. It would have been nice to see a tree made of Nexus (like the most recent VZW commerical)...where all the Christmas decorations are phone screens.

Hi Guys,

Long time lurker figured I would join the discussion.

I also went to the Samsung store in New York this evening to get my hands on this phone. I was for the most part blown away.

The ICS OS is awesome but definitely sports a bigger learning curve then past devices.

I've been worried about this. Is this phone going to be user friendly for those that aren't tech geeks?

Screen was perfect, not one mispress for me (for the 15 or so minutes I played with it while my wife rolled her eyes at me geeking out)

Huh...I was having problems...but then I guess I never really knew what I was doing.

 

[scottg96]

Yeah, my wife rolls her eyes everytime I get on my computer to visit this thread that never ends!

pinch to zoom-unzoom is a multi touch function, so im sure you have done that before

 

[Mr. Link]

Woo-hoo I hit the Jackpot...congrats to everyone on 60K. The thread that broke ALL records.

 

[Ninja Monkey]

Can't wait for the 8th!

 

[zx10droid]

Come on Friday, get here!

I think the simplest way to answer this would be to say, if you've used Android before, you will know what everything does, its just in a different order.
