That a day made of glass video was playing in a loop when I was at the Corning glass museum a few years ago. Pretty cool video though.

“DOES THIS LIST INCLUDE ALL DEVICES THAT HAVE GORILLA GLASS?
No, unfortunately, customer agreements prevent us from identifying all the devices that feature Gorilla Glass. This list shows all devices we can talk about. We’ll continue to update the list as customers allow us to share that information.”This on Corning’s FAQ page……..

Weird how you have a BUNCH of Samsung devices listed that DO have it, including the SII, but the GNex isn’t going to have it?

Maybe the above tweet isn’t accurate and we should just all wait and see?

Wow seriously samsung? you really did rush this phone… No 8mp camera, No 2mp front facing, No SD card slot and most of all no gorilla glass?? (Probably more but can’t think of the top of my head) come on even galaxy s2 has all of these specs… Only main good specs are the HD SAMOLED display,4.65 inch screen.. I mean might aswell get a galaxy s2 for cheaper and wait for ICS.

OK, so now its official that the Galaxy Nexus does not have Gorilla Glass. Odds are that it has the same glass that the Nexus S had. I have searched and not been able to find any drop test videos of the Nexus S.

Have any of you found some? if not perhaps someone is willing to sacrifice theirs to test. this could be very valuable information.

So it’s not gorilla glass, who cares? My OG Droid doesn’t have gorilla glass and it’s survived a rough 2 yrs.
If Samsung is using some other kind of tough glass, it’s all good. If not, well, maybe a drawback, but certainly not enough reason (alone) to run screaming from the phone.

As a person who just broke the glass on his thunderbolt, this is unsettling. Like, i truly hope this has good build quality. The tbolt may have issues, but its one of the most well built phones I have owned aside from my RAZR. (no not that one ).

Digitizer will be in tomorrow, hopefully it wont explode. I just cant stand cracked glass. 2 days later im going insane…

“I’ve taken a fork on several occasions and stabbed/scratched my Droid X
screen before while DRUNK and still didn’t have any scratches. I think
that speaks in and of itself.”

Yes… yes, I think it does.

(But it *also* really testifies to the scratch-resistant properties of Gorilla Glass. )

I kid. But seriously, my original Droid has gone two years without significant scratches, despite treatment that has left the photo button devoid of goldish and the volume rocker able only to make things louder. So I have reason to trust Corning. Samsung… has not acquitted itself as well in my experience with its consumer products. (Your mileage may vary, of course– the plural of anecdote isn’t data.) A GG screen starts with a certain level of confidence for me– a no-name fortified glass of unknown properties has yet to prove itself. I await the real-world reviews, but I’m already wondering if I can keep my OG Droid going another eleven months till the next Nexus device.

(But of course this one is on Verizon, and who knows if the next one will be? Decisions, decisions.)

Funny, doesn’t seem to hold up as well as the phones that do advertise that they have it.

Cloud? Whether you grab the Nexus on Verizon or AT&T, etc. Your gonna have good bandwidth available for accessing cloud stored material so its really not that big of a deal is it?

The cpu speed is the same however the GPU is clocked 26% higher in the 4460 which is quite substantial.
