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

[Sportster]

Didn't see the event....is it UNLOCKED?????? Any mention?????

I wonder how long the facial recognition takes to register your face and unlock the phone. If it takes too much longer than a thumb swipe, which obviously it will, I could see this getting annoying. We will see.

Now a month to wait before i can actually GET it... oh man...

[Dubbin1]

It is a nexus why would you think otherwise?

 

[VTarantino]

So looking at the official specs, BGR was SPOT ON. vz_wired was a troll?

 

[jaydotelloh]

What happened to our fearless phandroider that traveled ALL the way to hong kong? Hands on video? Answers to all our questions??

 

[VTarantino]

Why are there still so many freaking questions about this phone after the launch announcement!?

Google and Verizon are really crap at handling this

 

[Sushibagel]

So November 3rd or 11th when is it coming?!?!?!

I heard that the pins were there for the dock... don't remember them saying it would be included. Would be nice though!

 

[UBRocked]

Well...ICS is unbelievable!!! Google...'you done good'

Now for the love of God...STOP SKINNING THE PHONES! It's pretty apparent we don't need Motoblur, Touchwiz, or Sense anymore. End the fragmentation by making all future phones vanilla Android!

I'm getting a new phone in January so it might not get this phone depending on what is out. But ICS is a winner so just optimize the hardware for Google's software and be done with it.

Just sayin'

 

[brain85]

No mention of hardware accleration?

Verizon was said to have told Moto the bootloader stays locked,per Droid Life. THAT's why I'm worried about the bootloader being locked!! Why would they make one lock and the other not?

 

[BCM]

Does anyone have a link to the webcast?

Thanks!

I really think I heard them say its included when they showed the dock.

I hope it's a gorilla glass screen. This would really sour things up.

I thought Google wouldn't lock the bootloader to their own phone. And neither does Samsung.

Have a feeling it will be unlockable (a la xoom if i remember correctly).

They are all locked. The question is...Is it encrypted?

 

[red66charger]

23 days if it's released on November 10th. It'll feel like twice that though.

Because this is a nexus phone not a moto phone.

The fact other manufactures can modify the OS is part in what contributes to the OS's success. However, its very nice we actually have the option to get a phone with vanilla Android.

the WEEK the announcement was delayed was enough to make me go CRAZY

Good god you just made it seem like forever
