Waiting eagerly for an Indian launch date.
imo u will wait 4 atleast 3-4 months. i m an indian n currently in us, returning on nov 20th, so i will buy 4m the us, unlocked.
Hardware Change?
Will there be a change in hardware for indian version of Galaxy Nexus?
I don't think so that there will be any change in hardware of Galaxy Nexus for Indian version. Indians may get the device in some were early next year.
Didn't Samsung release SGSII quite early for Indians or is that just an illusion? And generally Indian phones are same as world wide GSM ones.
Hardware Change: LTE Radio
Those phones which are going to be released in the stateside will carry LTE 4G radio, whereas it is not required in our country, we do not have even consistent 3G signal even in our cities.
So i am expecting a 16GB version of SGN with no LTE radio in it.
India - Launch
Guys any Leaks on Indian Launch???

Hope we will get a date soon..
I think it is Google's fault that the launch is getting delayed. The device is obviously ready but since it is a nexus they want to launch it first in US. Samsung is ready to launch it I think, like how they launched the S2 many months before the US launch. But I think the price will be a big shock. Nexus S is overpriced to date, by at least 5000 over similar spec phones. I think this one will be priced 10000 more than a Galaxy S2.

What..??? 10000 More?? I dont think they can sell it with that price range. Current market price of SGS II in india is 28K - 30K (though Sulekha is selling at 25K). You Add 10000 to it, boom.. 38 -40 K.
Samsung / Google should limit the price to a max of 32-33 K, other wise they will loose the potential buyers. If that is the case, i will wait for another 3-4 months, for some other ICS model from either HTC/LG / Sammy.

Very simple, Are you fond of using stylus, and have a big pocket then go for galaxy note. Note is useful for those people who wants to take quick memos often as part of their work.
Or you just need a phone, then definitely Galaxy Nexus.

Thank you bro!
does nexus support MHL???
Supposedly but havent got any confirmation. It has the hardware for it.
I invented cyberspace. You're trespassing.
I think yes. You just need a standard USB adapter/converter.
Hello, I am going to Hong Kong tomorrow for a short trip + I have a birthday on the 26th of November, so I would really like to buy Galaxy Nexus there I haven't fined any info if it is available there now, but this phone was announced in HK, so probably it has to be release one of the first there? Checked HK expansys, there is just a preorder.... Hope I will find it somewhere in the market, otherwise, will have to buy Motorola Droid RAZR or HTC Titan, but I really liked Galaxy Nexus, it just feels so nice in my hands
My understanding is that its literally only available in the UK right now.
They are not selling in HK yet
Any news on this yet??
If the phone was launched in HK why is not available here... how does that work?
No other Asian country gets the phone now except Japan.
because at that time, there was some other event going on in HK. (Asia D).
they usually announce something in conjunction with another event. (so that since the people that is going to launch is there for that event, (asia D), might as well do it together).
that doesn't mean it will release the phone there just yet. they just announce it.
Expansys HK said they should be getting stock by the end of the week~ but the price is around 6K HKD i believe which is similar if not a bit more expensive than the ones Expansys US sell at right now.
You might find one in the computer centre by the ladies market I forget the name of it now. But they quite often have phones from the UK in there . Would be more expensive though.

Bought my nexus today, but was surprised to find that none of the big uk retail shops, carphone, phones4u, vodafone, 02,have any accessories for the galaxy nexus. Am I missing something?, cause the phone has been released a while back.?

Why would they, it's the same the world over, any decent and/or cool accessory might as well be a unicorn that will show up 12 weeks after you order it from some obscure website and pay $100 for shipping.
I don't think it's feasible for brick/mortar stores to carry many of these accessories since most consumers are generally happy with the "universal" junk and the devices change so quickly. Unfortunate, I agree.
One of the things we have to accept as Nexus users is that Nexus will never be mainstream phone heavy supported with acessories. It is obvious that the Nexus idea is not interesting to carriers and oems, since they cant fill it up with bloatware and it makes people wanting others phones to be upgraded for the last super-cool Android version.
This is my second Nexus phone and I dont plan to buy a non Nexus again, but I accepted the fact that I will be with the minotiry. Phones like the Samsung Galaxy S are much better for oems and carriers and will be much more marketed/supported.
Thanks the only problem is, I now have to wait for the accessories I ordered online, which will take days, that's the problem, even the corner shops, that sell all kinds of fake accessories, don't have a screen protector, and having owned my fair share share of smartphones, this is a first, not to find a single shop selling nexus specific screen protectors.
currently saving up.. if fate allows i plan on getting a SGN 10.1-2014ed to replace my twice dying Kocaso M870.
over the past 3 months ive done quite a bit of research through mags and android sites claiming this to be the best tablet around especially in terms of functionality.
several minor reviews and 2 hour long reviews posted on youtube with the earlier information has convinced me this is the direction i want to go.
im a gamer.. artist.. and one heck of a multi tasker that hopes to become a dedicated streamer in the future... this tab will help with all these things.
my key issues is what model of the SM-Pxxx series to get...
Firstly.. im located in the US.. and will only buy from certified reliable retailers.
this means amazon and ebvay and thier china hackware and voided warrentys are totally out of the question.
Im as of current.. stuck with best buy and thier 50$ off sale of the SM-P600 32gb-black..
16gb is a joke being the OS itself takes up 8 gigs...
i looked into the 64gb version.. but simply put.. it dont exsist.
3g.. and lte versions.. dont exsist.
before being flamed.. please hear me out.
according to samsung.. LTE ONLY comes in 32 and 64gbs models.. yet ALL the amazon LTE models are 16gb..
even the description on the amazon sales page STATES the device has been opened and modified.
and most importantly.. youtube videos of the so called LTE versions are A) all in german..
B) ALL have thier "unboxing" comming from an unsealed box... C) all having 16 gb-wifi listed on the front of the box AND the screen protector.. D) the screen protector has NO mention of 3G or LTE while the back of the box mentions LTE at the side of the list.
simply put.. these LTE versions are NOT the real deal. its a china sweatshop gettingthe cheapest 16gb model.. cracking the tablet open.. thus voiding its warrenty.. and adding a LTE antenna from some cheap cellphone... so they can sell a 550$ tablet for 800$... huge profit.
And its a mess i intend to avoid.
And from what ive seen.. the 3G model has only recently been leaked that vorizon will be its carrier.. and any "news" of the LTE version.. or the release date for EITHER version is simply non exsistant through official channels.
all this in mind..
Doi keep saving for the SM-P600 and be happy wiht a legit tablet..
Do i wait and hope that the 601 or 605 release in the near future before this dying tablet stops booting up...
and if i wait.. being i cant afford the cell phone bill as i never call ANYONE.. what would the 601-605 offer me that the 600 series dont already offer save a slightly faster processor?

This might be simpler than you think. The only device authorized to be sold by Samsung in the U.S. is the P-600. Anyone selling a P-601/5 has imported it and it comes with no warranty from Samsung as it's considered grey market. I have a P-601 I got from Negri and it's from Trinidad. Knowing it has no warranty I insured it through SquareTrade. That's an option for you too if you buy from someone like Expansys, Negri, or NewEgg. You can get SquareTrade on eBay items too if you do it at check-out. But if you're looking for warranty support from Samsung your only choice is buying a P-600 from an authorized Samsung reseller. VZW's releasing their version of the P-605 (LTE) soon but it'll cost you an arm and a leg. If you weren't aware, the imported P-605's don't support the U.S. LTE bands so you'll be stuck using HSPA. And both it and the P-601 work fine on AT&T but only work on T-Mobile in markets they've re-farmed to 1,900MHz. I get about 5-8MB download speeds using my P-601 on AT&T.
I have the Verizon 4G LTE model SM-P605V. Thinking that it will make phone calls, turns out it doesn't. LTE is fast however, just pop a 4G sim card in.

The P605 does exist in 16gb. It can be purchased in a number of reputable chain stores both here in new Zealand and also in Australia. It's likely an Asia Pacific only model though as we are part of that region.

Was browsing the web and thought Id take a look at moto's Japan site.
So since XDA wont let me post links, go to motorola japan to look.
Motorola recently updated their Japanese webpage and the Moto 360 is the start page.
Good news (for me) considering Motorola has zero presence in Japan.
For example; the phones they have on the page include razr and razr HD !
Does anyone have any info on this ??
What is so interesting in the fact that Moto 360 is available in Japan ? You could buy one years ago from eBay or from one of the online US stores, if you wanted one.

Well motorola hasnt sold anything in Japan for years. If you look at the webpage, youll see !
Getting stuff from ebay is a hassle if you live here - the fact that they seem to be back is a step in the right direction

Plus the range of android wear watches is very limited here. And I dont want to be rude but this would be interesting to people living in Japan who are members here - whats so interesting about stuff coming the the US or UK ???
Ahem, are you talking about the fact that Motorola is selling it directly or about the availability?
Because I bought the Moto 360 last year already on Amazon Japan.
Cheers

I don't want to be rude either. And believe it or not, I do understand your position. I live in an UE country which never gets the goodies launched in US and UK. And yet I can easily manage to buy the things that others are getting first, at good prices. We live in a global market, prices are similar, warranty indeed is a problem but I for one don't think that I needed warranty work more than 2 times in my dozens of devices purchased.
I will be rude....
Just kidding. The moto 360 is way overpriced on amazon.co.jp because it is imported (from us amazon?). I think 2nd gen is $500 (¥49999) right now. This is great news cause I can get one cheaper and with a warranty and maybe with some google goodies, like play store credit or something. 1st gen is like $250 right now, but $150 on us playstore.
Edit: Looks like a $150 moto 360, gen 1, is only 6-12 bucks to ship to Japan from us amazon. Not bad, but with the weak yen, we still take a hit, so it would be better if priced at ¥30000 on the jp google store. But, I do not see it on the store here in japan. Really want a 360 2nd gen. hmmmm......
