I figured a thread like this may be useful as people will probably end up posting things like this in the Google Play announcement thread.
Mods: Use your discretion if you disagree with this thread.
So Mr. What Can Brown Do For You person just came and dropped off my GN. I didn't open the box yet. I noticed that the return address is NOT Google:
Return phone/address:
(855) 836-3987
UPS-SCS GA
BLDG 1 DOOR 54
2200 OUTER LOOP
LOUISVILLE KY 40219
Anyway, can I answer any GN questions for anyone? I'll be happy to turn it on, take photos, etc. if people are wondering if the shipped ROM matches info given out by Google, radio info, etc.
Put it on your head and take a picture.
Omg. Late to fashion party.
sent with 3g courage. better recognize. 4g courage coming soon. stock up on diapers.
Only difference is the device having Wallet and Offers preloaded. And it's takju. Nothing really interesting.

Well I didn't want to switch to Verizon to get a Nexus phone when I was happy with my Nexus S. If you're saying that there was a thread like this already for new USA owners, I apologize. I figured the forums would be filled with these kinds of threads and I didn't notice any right off the bat.
Does this have different radios than what we currently have?
EDIT: Answered my own question, the stock image has I9250XXLA2 in it. How come this doesn't have North America-specific radios?
Got mine to.. imm30d build, and it wants me to update.... hmm root for imm30d or should i just update?
heres my info...

ahh, to lazy to update... half a sleep, rolled out of bed to pickup phone from ups, ate some wendys and charging this thing... 2 things i noticed
1. samsung has one dusty factory , my nexus s was the same way
2. a samsung that charges fast? (checks pulse)
sigh btw im stuck rooting my g/f droid 2 global fun... :: thinks locked bootloaders r evil ::: :: looks at sbf files, thinks about taking a nap::
I'm going to cry... I finally got a Galaxy Nexus that does not have a purple tint a lower brightness levels. My dark grays are actually dark grays! This is my fourth and I believe should be my last Galaxy Nexus.
GNEX in the hizzy!
Got mine about two hours ago.
Running off my works wifi for now....Can't wait to go get some service after work but the question is ATT or T-Mo?? I'm not sure yet..in my area they both have good coverage.
Anyway, first GNex and no purple tints no visibly bad screen. Compared to my old GS2-E4GT the GNex blows it away. Looks better than my co-workers IP4 screen in comparison also.
Maybe my eyes are getting old(30), because just 5 months ago the Atrix 4G pentile screen was enough to drive me away and sell the phone. After reading all the awful stories and how obvious the pentile is...I am relieved and I can't even tell honestly.
So far the 4.0.x experience on my phone is great, already have a TP so 4.0 wasn't new entirely...but wow big step up on the phone!
I'll use it for a few weeks while deciding which rom to start with
Anyway phone info:

Go prepaid. If you don't talk much, T-Mobile. If you do, Straight Talk's at&t SIM. (YMMV with coverage in your particular location, of course)

Hush, the "pentile is eeevul" crowd might hear you.
Been busy getting settings back the way they are on my Nexus S. Can someone please link me to that screen pictures thread that has the OK/NOT OK red stamps on them? I remember seeing it somewhere, and I want to see how my screen stacks up. Having the GN side by side to the Nexus S, the screen is waaay darker on full brightness than it is on the Nexus S. (Nexus S 100% bright is BLINDING) I'm also noticing that the GN is a warmer color than the Nexus S and shows more color change. (compared to the Nexus S, which has none IMHO) Thank you!

I am debating returning my sgs II, while I still have 15 days left to return it to wait for the Galaxy Nexus. I love the hercules, and im not returning it because of problems, I just want ICS and I feel like even though its a top rated phone, it will take forever to get ICs on it. I also think the Galaxy Nexus GSM version will be available around the same time as verizon version. Anyone have any input?

I think you will be waiting atleast a couple of months after it released on verizon before you see the GSM version. Plus there are quite a few devices either identicle or very similar to ours. So I think once one gets ics the porting will be much easier.

Yeah its a hard decision because I really like this phone....just don't wanna pass up the time I am able to return it for full price, and then regret not returning it. You really think it will be a couple months for a gsm version? Why do you say that?
return it, cancel it, and get another SGS2 from another store
then you auto extent to another 15 days
Be careful with this. Took my Tmobile gs2 back because of the screen issues and rebooting. Got a new one with minimal line issues and it seems snappier, but the guy told me it was the last exchange in the store. Me thinking I had 10 more days. Apparently since I returned an amaze and bought a BRAND NEW phone, the 14 days did not reset for me. I was always told anytime I had a new device it would reset the return period.

Well, I bought outright, so i actually get 30 days to return Its only 15 days if you buy with contract at a discounted price. And I have thought of that also...i still have til the 15th so ill give it a few more days and see if we get any news about the nexus I guess.... i dunno
Galaxy Nexus comes mid November 17 to 28 according to the fans in the GN forum.
personally i'm not excited at all about the GN, it's like a side-upgrade compared to SGS2
if you want a HD 720 device that is as best as you can get for Tmobile
otherwise SGS2 is the top of the hill at the moment spec wise
Considering how long it took for the Galaxy S2X to show up on Telus doorstep I wouldn't hold my breath for any upgrades.
It sucks as two good phones will be out but you'll have to decide of which two has the more important features and myself I love the screen on the Galaxy S2X

They did. But you will still will be waiting 3-4 months for a gsm version also keep in mind importing it might be more money then just waiting for the release. It is suppose to be released on Verizon right after black Friday. It was stated by various android sites recently. I wouldn't upgrade to it. If we get cm support or miui we will probably get ics within weeks after source drops.

im keeping mine ,the leaked speculation for the next galaxy phone are incredible...5mp camera and no sd slot ,that imo is going backward .i know the resolution is there and so is ICS but i can wait for it and if the next galaxy phone is anything close to being as planned then i would think it would be the right decision to keep the phone....unless you just got a bunch of money to blow then go for it
stick with the GalaxyS2 boss! like someone said earlier in this thread - we'll get ICS support fairly quickly with a ROM after source hits. specs are better on our phone and the lack of microsd card was a bit of a deal killer for us.
i'm getting galaxy nexus with 1280x720 resolutions! that is like putting your home desktop monitor in your pocket! haha
and 4.65 screen which the GS2 can never give me!

I'm debating doing the same. FWIW, I think the int'l GSM version of the GN will be available perhaps even before the Verizon version. If you're willing to pay full retail, it's an attractive option.

Just pissed that the s2 will get 4.0.2 or above probably before us. Samsung said they will update the s2 first quarter on 2012 (so march the latest?) And some of us are still on 4.0.1
I bought a nexus for a reason, so I can get faster updates, but looks like other phones might get it even before us / end of rant.

Don't take it so hard, you will still get the OTA first don't worry .
For the Samsung S2 is not clear that it will get anymore updates after the S3 pops out in half a year or so...
And after all this time next year, yours will be with the newest OS first

Lol okay lets just chill out for a second. Samsung promising the S2 to get ICS in the "first quarter" doesn't mean ****.
If you're that goddamn ancy you should flash to yakju and you'd be on 4.0.2 right now. Otherwise, just chill your **** and you'll get 4.0.2.
And the thing is, you'll get 4.0.3, and 4.0.4 or 4.1 etc. The S2 will get 4.0.2 and then be done. And it'll look like garbage and have TouchWiz on it just like it has now on 2.3.

And you would still have an inferior version of android. How many ICS roms do those phones have..? Oh wait, none. The update to 4.0.2 isn't that large and if you really cared so much you would spend the ten minutes it takes to learn how to flash a rom onto your phone instead of complaining about it. Also, if you want a touchwiz filled ICS, by all means get the sgsII.

Seriously, you bought a phone intended for Devs specifically because you *don't* want to root or flash (clearly showing that you did your research before purchase </sarcasm>), and now you're whining because it's not getting minor updates as fast as you want, even though, being the current Nexus, it will be updated faster than any other phone on the market?
I think you'd be happier with an iPhone, man.

Good play on version #
As more phone makers start to roll out ICS you'll see more and more version #'s, not necessarily equating to any tangible improvements.

Then sell your Nexus and go back. Nobody is making you keep it. you can root your phone and put 4.0.3 or even a 4.0.4 rom on it. If you dont want to root you phone you can unlock it, temporarily boot CWM and flash the stock 4.0.4 OTA.

well, you are acting like a kid. grow up.
I'm sorry you don't like your Nexus, but no one is forcing you to use it. Feel free to sell it and buy any HTC phone if you'd like. Truth is that the Nexus will still be the first to be updated to vanilla Android, because no other phone in existence will have it. You go buy the HTC phone it will have 4.0.3 and that's amazing! But it has Sense, and when it comes to the next update, you'll be *****ing again that its not coming and you'll want your Nexus back.
The fact that you'd consider leaving the Nexus on 4.0.2 for an HTC phone on 4.0.3 because its x.x.1 higher leads me to believe that you don't understand how great having a Nexus is.
I dont understand this impatience. The nexus will get the 4.0.4 update, likely very soon. Google is just finishing everything. They are not sitting around doing nothing. And they are not purposely holding back. They WANT us to have the update. Its just taking time.

But you guys really help me out if I dont succeed!
AFAIK theres a better radio (which is really useless today) in 4.0.4 or 4.0.3
If you really dont want your nexus i'll take it... Mine is in the shop getting wifi fixed. Had to RMA and i'm really missing it. I'm stuck using this brick of a Dell Streak, not having my nexus is really bad. But on the bright side I still have my Gtab running 4.0.3!

I think a lot of folks get wrapped up in the numbers. Is there any real world difference when you are sitting at home at -100 and the wife is at -83? Is there some sort of call drop or throughput issue that is your concern, or is it just the fact that the number is better?

LTE reads differently in signal strength vs. 3g.
Real world is my wife's razr getting full 4g in olive garden with me bouncing between 3g and 1x on the newest 404 radios after a reboot.

I still wonder why my g/f's Charge reports better signal when I have my Verizon Galaxy Nexus in 3G only mode....in a 3G only area.
I can attest to the signal strength dBm affecting speed. My wife's Charge sits at 80-84 dBm and pulls 20-30mbs on speed test with a lower ping (mid 80's) while my phone in the same spot is at 105-117 dBm constantly moving up and down and im lucky if the download speeds go above 15mbs, usually around 8-10mbs. The reception on this phone is horrible, IMHO this phone is a lemon.
Reception is the most important thing on a phone by far. And the constant flipping from 4g to 3g murders my battery where my RAZR would never ever lose 4g in my house my galaxy is switching back and forth constantly. I'm on Kang b36 w newest radios.

How is it an epic fail?
Gotta love how everyone complains about not getting updates, then when they get an update they're pissed because its not as big as what you expected.

agreed. I don't think this is an epic fail at all. It seems like there is a 26 day turn around time from testing to roll-out. If anything remains consistent, I'm hoping we see jelly bean sometime mid august.

I can see why people are ungrateful.
First "fix" is developer speak for, "we are tweaking the visuals on your signal bars without actually doing anything helpful."
Second one is to support a Sprint app that I am sure is pay-for.
Last one is a simple toggle preference which I believe is nothing more than a build.prop edit.
Lets not forget what they aren't telling you: That local search will be gimped.
Yeah, I would be pissed and ungrateful too.

Is it really an update? RSSI indicator mod? That is not fixing any type of signal for your phone. It just sounds like a graphic fix to make you feel better.
Wi-fi and LTE defaulted on. I guess this is for the people who do not know they needed to turn it on. Now it will turn automatically once updated. Thing is, unless you are one of the 6 people to be in an LTE market will this really effect you? Bottom line is they need to gimp search and they are probably pressured to do it in a timely fashion. If not for that, you would not be seeing an update.
This is on update that Sprint can have first over Verizon. I will keep my search for now, thank you!
Its a epic fail because of the Be they feed you to update so they can fix some things with out you knowing. How are they not able to just say were going to take search off and give you some pretty lights for signal bars. How does it effect me. I'm with everyone else who thought they were buying pure Google phone. I keep lte off because I don't live in a lte area.
So like he said ^^^ how would this update have anything to do with me.

It is there following Verizon but can't seem do any better.
I thought coming fro. T-Mobile Sprint was going to be the **** unlimited data (o yea!) Cheaper and I get a dope ass phone. ( phone is ****ing sexy). But cmon sprint IDC for 4.1 now I just wanna go outside and search the web with my unlimited data at speeds faster then it takes a snail to cross the finish line. And I understand there setting up lte. How long do you think theyll keep it unlimited once the get lte up and running.
Back to topic for those that want to update do you just flash back your bak up off stock and update or do u need to something else.

Why would you want to even take this update? It isn't fixing anything but will be removing things....
I mean, I wouldn't use the stock update anyway, I'm just sticking to cm10 lol.
Can the update and update NAG be stopped ?
