This is actually looking better than the Droid RAZR. At this point, the only thing the RAZR has going for it is the thin form factor. But I’m still getting the Nexus.

Compared to the pictures on the web, I think it makes it look thinner. But maybe that’s just me.

I guess I’m the only one who’s actually in love with the HTC Rezound.

Personally, Apple places better control on providing quality parts on their smartphones. That is just my opinion. Apple uses Aluminum and glass, while other counterparts use plastic, rubber materials. Not that its a bad thing, but you can the philosophy of the companies. ICS is going to be an improvement over any gimmicky OS’s, such as Sense and Motoblur. I prefer LauncherPro to any of the OS’s on Android.

I’m getting to a point, when I hear specs, it reminds me of saving 394HP is faster than 385HP, when it comes to processing speed and screens. I am big on user experience without hesitation and interruptions between homescreens, scrolling, etc…I can recall when the TBolt, decided to bolt and had to pop out the battery at least once a week. I see unique features on ICS with the Panoramic view, Android Beam, and Voice typing.

Again I will wait until mid Jan 2012 until I make a decision to go with G-Nex or 4S…No need to rush out for the G-Nex. I am hoping the battery life is similar to the iP4.

Itunes sucks…I hate it! TBolt is a great starter phone at $100 price point, but not $250. I know the Thunderbolt inside and out. When you have to carry a USB cable, just to enjoy 4G speeds, that is pretty hideous!

Guess who the manufacturer for the A5 is….Samsung…..Guess what Samsung had to compete with the A series processors…Exynos….So you can understand that the processors are well built.

Droid 1, Thunderbolt, Droid Bionic, (2) HP TouchPad’s, iPad 1&2, BB Storm…

I disagree. Retina Display is much more crisp than the display of the Samsung Galaxy SII. In terms of color saturation and contrast that is where your eyes discern the difference. In terms of sharpness, Retina Display has it beat. I prefer the IPS LCD Screen over Super AMOLED. Keep in mind, the Retina Display is 2010 technology, while new Android’s come out month to month and can not beat the iPhone’s sharpness and viewing angles. That is a shame, like all of the HTC phones and Motorola phones. Samsung has the best looking displays behind Apple.

I am by no means a Apple Fanboy, as my product list goes from Droid 1, Thunderbolt, Droid Bionic, (2) HP TouchPad’s, iPad 1&2, BB Storm all within 2.5 years. So I understand technology very well.

Battery is a problem on every HTC smartphone. What is the point of mentioning about the 4S? EVO, EVO3D, Thunderbolt…horrible. Go ahead and add the Rezound. Regardless if we are talking about 3G vs. 4G speeds, I prefer battery life over 4G speeds at this point. Apple is smart by allowing the chipset makers of the A6 (future) to embed the 4G LTE chip on the processor to improve battery life. We will see the first Android phone 1st Quarter next year. Apple will come out with the iPhone 5 around Sept/Oct. Most likely should be quad core, since the iPad 3 will be quad core. It seems like Apple likes to build the faster processors within the iPad then gets converted over to the iPhone.

Overall, the iPhone has better fluidity, movement between screens, bounce back response from top, bottom, and side pages, more thought into the design of the OS, whereas Android tries hard to improve on the features of what Apple has already accomplished. Keep in mind, do a quick scroll on a HTC or Motorola device. Still choppy isn’t it…One reason is the frame rate that Android smartphones have…Plus Apple has hardware acceleration with their apps. Its almost like comparing 60fps vs. 25fps. I notice this with my eyes…I have to applaud Samsung for making an improvement on scrolling, but still is behind the iPhone. Keep in mind, 2010 vs. 2011 and Android has not advanced in terms of fluidity. Bigger screens, bigger processors, but can’t get hardware acceleration corrected on both cores.

After seeing the video like 3 times I’m starting to like this again. I had a week to play with the HTC Flyer and that thing was fast with only one core at 1.5ghz. Plus this has a full 720p display, hardware buttons, removable battery and SD card slot. Only thing is missing is NFC and ICS (will come but when). I held out on the Bionic because I knew 720p displays were right around the corner. The Nexus still has a slight lead for me but I can’t wait for Thursday to get here.

I live in a city surrounded by hills. I guess you don’t know what it’s like to get out of a city often visiting friends and family in the hills where a neighborhood in a deep pocket loses connections (4G and phone calls). Cloud = useless in those areas.

are you out of your mind? exynos blows the hell out of any chip. Its the most advanced chip to date. It crushes the a5 chip easily and the quad core tegra will do the same. Apple is outdated so stop being a pist off fanboy and deal with it. Android advances quicker.
