Comprehensive Android Phone/MODs/ROMs Thread

Not sure, you may be right on that though.

I think Verizon was confirmed for November - they will have it first for a bit.

Google/Sammy event is tonight! Get HYPE!

Edit: LEAKS GALORE!

Either these posters are extremely elaborate fakes, or NTT DoCoMo is really bad at keeping secrets. Just hours after it prematurely tweeted a November release for the Galaxy Nexus (aka the Nexus Prime), we now have what appears to be a full spec list and comparison with the other handsets in the Japanese carrier's range. The details are nearly all familiar from previous suspected leaks, including the dual-core 1.2GHz Texas Instruments processor, 720p Super AMOLED curved glass display, five megapixel camera with 1080p video recording and 32GB of storage (plus 1GB RAM). Now, it's entirely possible that the fakers are all singing from the same dodgy hymn sheet -- but if that's true, then they've also been busily submitting forged benchmarks to GLBenchmark, which displays results from a 'Galaxy Nexus' that include the same 1.2GHz clock speed and HD screen (albeit listed as 1196x720, supposedly due to the onscreen buttons). We'll know the truth soon enough -- the full fandango is but hours away.

Event will be livestreamed tonight: Live: YouTube.com/Android, 10/19/11, 10AM, Hong Kong Time (HKT)

MY BODY IS READY.

[Kenshiin]

I'm also looking forward to seeing what the Droid RAZR will have. I'd like a thin phone for once.

[Kurokikaze]

So cute. :D

[tyven]

when is razr being announced? isnt it supposed to be today?

[Kurokikaze]

Yes possibly. Theres a Motorola event going on right now. Just started actually.

[tyven]

just got introduced http://live.gizmodo.com/motoandroid/

[Kurokikaze]

Motorola makes some ugly looking phones...

[Kenshiin]

I think the RAZR looks fine. I was so excited to see all that was included with the RAZR but then I heard it isn't going to have Ice Cream Sandwich. These phones always make me mad. They always have loads of goodies but seem to be missing 1 important feature.

[Tymon]

RAZR is a little underwhelming, but it was doomed to be with the Rezound and Nexus right around the corner.

It still looks like a really nice phone, and it's certainly going to be Motorola's flagship.

[tyven]

no xoom 2 make me sad

[tyven]

welp, i am already sold on the galaxy nexus

[Tymon]

I am completely jizzing in my pants at ICS. Buying a Galaxy Nexus day one, absolutely sold.

[Julian]

[Kurokikaze]

Day motherfucking 1. Google - shut up and take my money!

That camera is phenomenal. O_O

[Tymon]

Holy shit, ICS available RIGHT NOW.

[Kurokikaze]

CM8 before Galaxy Nexus?!

[tyven]

ummmm did they not announce a preorder or release date?

[Tymon]

ummmm did they not announce a preorder or release date?

Nope. November.

Verizon roadmap says November 10

[Kurokikaze]

No I'm wondering if I wanna get HSPA+ and stick with TMo or get that LTE and go to Verizon/Sprint...? Hmm.

ChrisSoyars: We're counting 5 features in ICS that have been in CyanogenMod for quite some time, great success! I'm quite excited for ICS.
ChrisSoyars: Android 4.0 SDK available. ETA for an SDK ROM? My bet is we will see one sometime tomorrow, don't get excited, because emu roms are lame.
