Hmmm most crazy/interesting rumor about the Nexus program yet...
Rumor: Google Changing Up Their Nexus Program, LG Optimus G Nexus Debuting In November, and More
I'll reserve judgement until i see them. I think its a good idea, but I've been so wrong in the past. lolIf that's the case, it is unlikely that Sprint would acquire an Optimus Nexus since they are due to receive the Optimus G in November.
Personally, I'm not very fond of this "Certified Nexus" device idea.
I'm just wondering. After Google announces the next Nexus, will phones that come afterwards be able to switch from custom skins to stock?
That was my takeaway. Phones that have this "theme manager" will allow you to disable whatever skin a manufacturer puts on it. I wonder about this, though... some of the skins are more than skin-deep, and reflect actual changes to how Android operates. Can you really turn them on and off so easily? Or will the future skins be more of an "alternate launcher" thing?
Either way, as long as we get stock Android capable of receiving updates from Google (and not having to muddle through some hellish OEM process) I'll be happy if this is the direction the Nexus program takes.
The Nexus rumors continue....
Digitimes says Nexus branded phones from Samsung, LG, Sony, and HTC are likely | Android and Me
More on the LG Nexus.....
First hands-on report of the LG Optimus G Nexus | Android and Me
No sd-card is only deal breaker for me. I've never changed a battery in any of the phones I've ever owned, so that doesn't really matter. 32 gigs internal would be nice though.
Bummer. No SD card support + non-removable battery = fail.More LG Nexus rumors. These state that the phone has a non-removable battery, no SD card slot, and only 16gb of storage (max).

I do not want Android device that is like the iPhone in the worst ways. The S3 has proven you can have a super slim phone with a removable battery.
I don't understand why OEMs continue to get it wrong in the Android space, despite S3 showing the world that removable batteries and SD card support are what the consumers want.

Yeah, I don't get that either. These two things are not deal breakers for me, but they're certainly negatives. What gets me the most about these rumors is the 16gb max storage combined with no SD card. Some of us are not keen on streaming data from the cloud, thanks.
Yeah, I just read this just now. Wow, just wow. Those are major deal breakers right there. I just hope now that the rumors of multiple Nexus devices are true.
i am going to have a hard time choosing..
Note 2 for $249 to $299
GS3 for $50 (Rumored: black friday special for Sprint)
I know I want Note2.. but price is a big difference.
