Remember this? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I remember I was so excited about this phone, and when I saw this trailer my jaw dropped!
I wonder how the next nexus trailer will be
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I remember that teaser well!
Haven't seen it in a while though, thanks for digging it up.
I forgot how curved they made it seem in that teaser, it looked insane. Originally I assumed the final design would be that curved. I remember the mock ups that were going around the Android news sites after that teaser came out...
I too can not wait until we get a new teaser trailer for the next Nexus. Hopefully that will happen sooner rather than later!

Aah, I still remember the times.
When the GNex was still a rumour...with the then-monstrous 1.5GHz and novel buttonless design.
And then we had this teaser. It was like a dream.
But time flies and ICS is no longer a novelty, and the Nexus is not an awesome device now.
In Hong Kong the price has dropped by half.
I miss that time!

The nexus is awesome no matter what

This times two. Still the best phone on the market in my opinion.

The screen looked so much more curved than it really is lol

Yes!!! I was so excited when I saw this!

Jup. This teaser was the reason i got interested in a non ios product.
and i never looked back once i got it

I was so excited when I saw this

Yep, no work got done that day. I was glued to the forums looking for more!!

Is it me or is samsung going a bit over the top with these presentation? The sgs3 intro had a small orchestra, whats next some cirque du soleil performers?

It felt like this

I honestly do not find this the best phone on the market, but it is my favorite device so far and still awesome. I was so excited when I saw face unlock, 720p HD display, pentaband GSM, beautiful design with software buttons, and etc. I know its not the best phone spec wise( as referred to earlier), but to me its the best deal and still a very beautiful and relevant android phone.

This is the whole coverage of the launch event ahh the memories:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts5WBm0tXzI

Google needs to let the rumor mill open to build up some suspense and excitement for the next nexus phones. Android has progressed that far and needs a boost.
need more high def music...

Ahh the memories. Actually I never planned on owning it, I just saw my contract ending in 2013 and thought bummer, no new phones till then. Then my carrier texted me one day to let me know I was available to upgrade already, even though not even 2 years had gone by on the 3 year contract. Went to the store, Lo and behold Nexus was only $35, yoink! Mine!

I'm interested to see the rumours build up, although I won't be getting the next nexus, going to skip a year.

I am very happy with this phone

Today being Christmas I am thankful for this smartphone. Yeah there is always something better coming around the corner, but not to be greedy lets be happy with this awesome device.
Being rooted with a great ROM and cool ICS theme this phone is warp speed fast, with great battery life, and looks so damn cool.
Even compared to my buddies new Nexus, I honestly like this phone a bit better, for numerous reasons.
Merry Christmas

The thing I am so amazed at, is how far Android has come along in such a short time.
My first Android was the MyTouch 3G, which was very clunky and choppy, and just a couple years later I am holding this awesome Galaxy SII with 4.5" AMOLED screen that is razor thin and very lightweight.
Wow Android has come a long long way compared to those first year devices.

Definitely a great phone. Cant wait for what the future of android and the galaxy line holds. But a family member had his Nexus and I feel so much better. I already knew it was not worth jumping through hoops to get. But now I have no jealousy at all. Only things it has is ICS in pure form. It also feels a bit more solid.

My brother recently got an iPhone 4S and I got to play with it for a bit, and it made me really appreciate the GS2 that I have so much more. It's an amazing phone and I'm perfectly happy with the phone I have, finally.
I'm very happy with this phone. I haven't even rooted it yet and I'm not sure I have a reason to. Yet? lol
My only gripe is the slipperyness of the back cover. I have a case on order so I hope that will help it.

Open the box and take a picture of the box opened. It is a little strange that you posted a picture of a phone box to prove you had it.
You don't have to prove it to me. I'm just not going to believe you without proof.
If you do actually have it can you post some pictures of the phone for us? I know you have friends with camera or a camera/webcam somewhere in your house.
I will post pics of me using it when my girlfriend get home but the picture of the box open here it is, I have no reason to lie.

Merged another thread into this one that had been created 3 hours AFTER this one.
White Epic in Hand
I have had the white one since New Years Eve. Went to Best Buy to replace my 3 year old Blackberry Curve & the guy asked if I would rather have the white one. They tried to ring it up on 4 different registers but couldn't get it to scan. 15 minutes after they were suppose to close, they finally scanned a black one just to get me out the door.
I realized why it had been such an issue after I read the Jan 8th release date online.
Anyhow, loving moving up to this phone after the Berry.

Made the switch :)

This tab is going to be un-real. Display is going to be top notch for Tablets. Beats the IPad retina display. 299ppi!? Dayummm

There is more to a display than PPI and resolution.

Agree with that. What's up with the buttons in the middle so far from your hands? My initial reaction is that I like the old tablet UI better.
I'm curious about the A15 CPU. This will be the first Android device using one and give us an indication what to expect from future smartphones.

Thank god for Paranoid Android!
I like it. Going from phone to tablet should be seamless - everything in the same position on screen. We've grown to the Android tablet UI for about 20 months since Honeycomb first rolled out, and naturally this is a change. The design team had to give this serious consideration before making it happen, so there must be a solid rationale behind it all. One more step towards eliminating fragmentation.

Making the tablet experience the exact same as the phone one does not equal getting rid of "fragmentation" (that word gets throw around so much people are forgetting what it means but that's a different discussion). Other than a larger screen what advantage does a tablet have over a phone if it's the exact same UI? There isn't one. There should be some kind of distinguishing factors between the two types of devices or there stops being a point buying both when there are Phablets like the note out.
Damn resolution is higher than my 1080p laptop, can only see half of the full sized pics =P

Back to Android

Hello guys so i want to start by saying i'm coming back to android after a whole year=]. So basically i was the biggest android fan boy, i had about every android phone: G1, G2, Nexus One, Mytouch 4g, Galaxy nexus and the list goes on. I really got bored of android for some reason nothing was really changing so i jumped on the Iphone bandwagon. I love my iphone (currently the 4s) but im just bored of it i really miss android and want to go back. Since its been so long ive been disconnected from the android world so i really dont know about the new stuff or what phone i want to get. Right now i have sprint and im not due for an upgrade any time soon. I would just like for you guys to give me some suggestions on what phone i should get, right now im thinking the galaxy nexus because its the last android phone i had and i really really loved it. thanks in advance.

It's pretty strange to call a guy a dumb ass for using an iPhone. Last time I checked they make calls, texts, and apps run. Not sure what the problem is. My GNex is great, but i have a 4S as well. There are many apps first and only for iOS, and if I am going to a party or club its the best for photography (compared to my GNex). I would say Nexus 4 given your current choices. Nexus is always the way to go, and it has great specs.
