Sticksboi05 Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 The "MAP" release from I think Droid Life shows November 10th. ---------- Post added October-26th-2011 at 10:49 AM ---------- Out of those, I think I'd go RAZR. Its supposed to be getting ICS too so that will be nice. Yeah but it won't be vanilla Android, it will have Motorola nonsense on top of it.

Skinz4Life12 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Out of those, I think I'd go RAZR. Its supposed to be getting ICS too so that will be nice. i keep reading about ICS...what is that? also, my thing with the razr is it won't be running "Ice Cream Sandwich" (who the hell named it that anyways) and who knows how long it will take to get the update. the nexus has a bigger screen too. i dont' know i'm kind of torn. i'll go screw around with a razr before i decide i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one big factor though, is if you need lots of memory. There is no microSD card clot in the Galaxy Nexus and there is in the Droid RAZR.

The RAZR won't come with ICS, but it will get the update for it. I like the RAZR because its thin and with the kevlar and gorilla glass, it seems like it will be tough to break this phone.

HBnotBlades Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 In addition to having ICS from the start, the nexus will be the first to get updates pushed to it from google. So when the 4.1 update comes out, you'll get it right away without having to wait months for your carrier to figure out ways to make it suck.

If you root your phone, you don't have to worry about updates from the carrier and manufacturer. I've had Gingerbread on my HTC Thunderbolt for close to 2 months now. Today they released it officially for the Thunderbolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're all named after desserts: Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, and Ice Cream Sandwich. I think its cool they put statues of them in front of the HQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistertim Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 wow i feel stupid now hahaanyways, i heard there will be a 16gig and 32 gig galaxy nexus? thats lame there is no SD slot. i'm just wondering if its going to be $400 for a 32 gig and $300 for a 16 gig Nobody really knows the prices yet. As far as the memory, I'm pretty sure I read there will be a 16 and 32 gig Nexus. With the RAZR I believe you get 16 gigs as standard but it has an SD slot where you can put up to 32 extra gigs. To be honest, 32 gigs is a lot of memory so I don't see too much of a problem with the Nexus not having the SD card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
