I'm hearing about poor battery life from testers. Ugh.

This phone needs to deliver on everything after all this buildup.

GO LIONS!

Lions kicked BUTT today!!!

If this was shared on one of the hundreds of pages previous, I apologize but this link relieved me of any reservations I have about the pentile display on the nexus.

Seriously, Scott... you should tell you reddit friends that you are 14yo and they might cut you some slack.

*15yo, going on 16.

No no - you forgot -

You can tell a freshman by his happy, eager look,
You can tell a sophomore, 'cause he carries one less book,
You can tell a junior by his dashing air and such,
And you can tell a senior, but you can't tell him much!

scottg96 - don't these guys get to you. I think a lot of us wouldn't mind another turn in the barrel as a sophomore.

I'd do it just for the new skeleton!

talked to my buddy who ive known since high school who works at verizon in rsm, ca. He says they havent received any word about the nexus and he told me not to expect it until December. He says typically employees are informed about a new product coming a week before release.

Poor battery life is relative. All depends on what you consider "poor"

I was going to add my two cents but I lost them sorry.

My son won't stop talking about his fantasy football team and I actually just said to him, "You need to quit obsessing over that and go do something productive." I better set the example.

GO PATRIOTS! (tomorrow)

Must not be reliable since it doesn't say that we will get it tomorrow. Mods, please delete this post as it is entirely too realistic.

Scott just picking on you buddy, don't take it seriously

How many other mobile phone men do you know? What else did you think my name means?

The Motorola Photon 4G gang has taken to MoPho as their phone's name.

I thought you went from Verizon to Sprint and back, actually. :eek:

That's not what most of the employees have said. Most say they don't know until the day before or the day of release.

Does he work at an authorized retailer or at a corporate store? And/or has he gone to work in the past few days?

No kidding... had to hear my family go on and on yesterday about my "choices" in high school. Ugh... would love to be able to go back and change a few (or more) things.

Well, depends on how you look at it (literally, etymologists debate about this stuff)

And with that, I'm also done giving the resident sophomore a hard time.

Are you kidding me? I'd jump right past high school and into college if I could. Unfortunately I can't, and it's hindering my ability to do what I really enjoy doing (technology stuff and writing music, which I do at home on my computer).

He said single digit hours on LTE. To be fair they are prototypes.

thecandidate said:
Testers??? Where?! I always said this phone would have to last me most of the day with a charge since I dont carry around batteries and chargers everywhere I go.

I follow Lee Johnston on Google +. He's the owner of Issimo Apps.

"I hope the release LTE Galaxy Nexus gets better battery life than the prototypes... And all of you wonder why Verizon took so long to approve the device for launch...Just Saying. Let's just say it's single digits..."

"5 Hrs is what my friend gets with heavy use on LTE only... And he has more than one."

AcousticRx · Nov 20, 2011
