So basically the Nexus 4G will be badass: ``` Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Dual-core 1.2 GHz or 1.5 GHz processor Either TI’s OMAP 4460 or Qualcomm’s Krait-based Snapdragon chips 720p HD “monster-sized” screen 1 GB of RAM 5 MP rear-facing camera with “class-leading image quality in addition to superior low-light performance” 1 MP front-facing camera 1080p HD video capture and playback 4G LTE support Ultra-thin design No hardware buttons Thanksgiving release ``` If it’s on Verizon, it could be my next phone maybe? possibly? ---

My atrix decided to not want to use the earpiece speaker during a call. Only way for me to make a call was to use speakerphone. Otherwise the speaker worked for everything else. Att didn’t want to hear about it since I didnt have insurance but they would sell me a new one at 449. Motorola said send it in it has a 1 year warranty. ---

A couple sites have reported those Nexus specs, Android and Me says nuh uh. I’m just posting what I’ve seen. Although for a phone that’s supposed to be all about google, the camera is kinda lacking. No 8MP yet? I may hold off on an upgrade to see if any Ice Cream Sandwhich phones come out around November maybe even October. ---

Still beta. Camera doesn’t work. Lots of bugs. It’s merged with the main CM tree (whatever that means) and getting nightlies, but AFAIK you’ve got to buy rom manager premium to get them. I’ll play with it a bit longer, but GB Liberty is smooth and solid at v0.8 so I’ll probably stick with that ultimately. ---

Ugh! My girlfriend is furious right now. She is waiting for the Samsung Galaxy S 2 phone to be released since she doesn’t like the Charge, DX2 or Incredible2. Now what? She doesn’t want to rush to get a data plan, but it looks like she may not have a choice… if she wants to get in on the unlimited data plan… FFFffffuuuuuuuuuuuu… ---

while it sucks that they’re doing tiered plans, I would be willing to bet that 90% of Droid phone users probably only use ~1GB per month. ---

> [@ProgRocker](#): > > I wish they would have dropped prices a bit…but w/e. As stated above 2GB is WAAAYYYY more than most think. yeah, 20-25 is more reasonable for the 2GB plan. Oh well, I’ll be sticking with the 2GB plan for sure. Hopefully they’re gonna also do a family share on data actually. That might work out great. ---

By making sure I only download silly big files like roms over wifi I’d have no trouble staying under a gig or so per month. No big deal. This will only affect the jackwagons that are tethering all the time and eating all my bandwiches.
