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

[EarlyMon]

Has anyone seen any benchmarks as far as a Galaxy Nexus Vs HTC Desire Z/G2?

I find Nexus S Vs G2 benchmarks, but no SGN. I'm curious to know what numbers im jumping up to..

Maybe this is helpful -

Eh, I'm sticking with Quadrant. Best benchmark out there.

Ok, obviously not. And I agree, that ICS really changes the game. It will be interesting. The only benchmark I've seen so far has been this one, indicating performance will be very close to the SGSII.

Some benchmark results from the Rezound (from web):
AnTuTu, average of 3 runs: 5644,5724,5245; 5537.7.

I wish VZW would throw this thing up on their website. Slim to none chance for me getting one on Friday if I have to go to a store.

 

[wyggles]

Nope! I want Friday. I have two finals on Thursday morning.

Ditto, wouldn't be able to get it until around 7PM.

Called another store near me, she say the have the demo unit and is "unofficially" going to be available on friday.

Deleted -- old news. Apologies.

When Nexus One came out, the benchmark showed that it's over double the performance of OG Droid. Now looking at the chart above and how small Nexus One has become, damn, this is gonna be heck of an upgrade for us OG Droid users.

Without screen protectors, how will you guys keep your screens from getting smudgy? I read that the GNex's screen is supposed to be oleophobic, but is that enough? And is it permanent?

Hai! I love your SN

Thanks! It's a pretty good descriptor of me

Welcome, thanks for exiting lurkdom.

It was an inevitability - I feel like our pains over this phone lately has made us all kindered souls! haha

A little OS who is viewing and posting from there galaxy tab 10.1 as I am?

Not just me i hope as i watche tv on my samsung UN55D7000LFXZA TV. ?... I like samsung can you tell? Damn i need a life...lol

 

[AntimonyER]

Yep - and I've set my official guess to Steven on what our final count will really be.

Cool beans on the screen protector story.

Tell them invisibility is a new Android feature.

Don't tell me you are going to be like Verizon and keep that official info from us too?

 

[Digital504]

haha. stores getting stock, and one district is rumored to get ~ 2.66 phones per store. haha. nice.

can't wait to get this phone so i can gth out of here.

Obviously each store won't be getting "2.66" phones per store. They will have to decide which store gets 5, which store gets 3 etc. I put that information on there to tell you (what appears to be) the very limited stock that will be out there.

Does that mean no online purchasing?

Apologies if already posted --

Statement From Verizon On Google Wallet

apologies accepted.

seriously though, i don't know how they can say that they don't block apps. google search was blocked from several of the bing'd androids on release and blocked every wi-fi tethering app on the thunderbolt.

Not just me i hope as i watche tv on my samsung UN55D7000LFXZA TV. ?... I like samsung can you tell? Damn i need a life...lol

Anyone have experience with Steinheil screen protectors? If so what's the verdict? Looking at screen protectors and want to order today so it'll be here by the time I have my phone.

I have. They are very good but I'm going naked after seeing how I gave one some rough treatment putting holes in it and the glass on my OG Droid with out a scratch or make even when inspected with a magnifying glass.

I had to conduct surveillance that required belly crawling in the woods. I had the OGD in my front pocket with my keys.
I never do that but in the heat of battle and having to not waste time I put them both in the same pocket.

When I pulled it out there were several holes in the protector clearly visible by the air allowed under the film. It looked ugly and I winced.

After inspection there was not a single mark.

So I decided to run it nude and found out I was missing a degree of touch screen responsiveness.

Stepping out of lurkedom

Went to my local corporate store in Huntersville, NC and made an appointment to pick my Nexus up Thursday. FINALY!!

Actually a lot of wifi tether apps have made it back to the market. In their defense.

A small piece of microfiber would be enough for me.

How do I know what Verizon Wireless stores around me are "Corporate"?

Thanks in advance...

My guess is that they make Google/Manufacturers do all the blocking. So they can get away with saying that they don't do it.
