Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Chugworth's Photo Chugworth 22 Oct 2011

Okay - Finally! I'm almost positive that this will be my next phone:

-F_ke3rxopc

I've been waiting and waiting for a dual-core LTE phone. I was planning to get the Droid Bionic, but when I heard that an even better Nexus phone with Android 4.0 was coming soon, I decided to resist the urge to buy the Bionic.

The Galaxy Nexus has even more advantages besides that. It has a 4.6" screen at 720x1280 (316ppi). It supports NFC (just think how cool you'll look when you wave your phone to make a purchase). It even has a barometer! I mean, really, how did we ever get by without barometers in our phones? :o

The phone should be out in November. More details about it are available here:

After seeing you online elsewhere I got all nostalgic and had to come check out the ol' ieX. Anyway, I just happened to see this topic and wanted to be the first non-spam reply :P

I was in the same situation you were in. Holding onto my OG Droid, looking forward to the Bionic until they screwed it over and this beauty was announced. Got it on release day and have been loving it ever since!

Did you end up getting it?

I've been playing with this at work, and boy-oh-boy is it a sexy piece of electronics. It really is amazing how far cell phones have come in the 13 years since my first Nokia 5165 :lol:

...and come to think of it, this phone is more powerful than the computer I did my homework on 10 years ago!

I'm still sticking with my HTC (T7575) Windows phone. It does what I need as I'm just not a bells and whistles kind of guy.
