Galaxy Nexus is Getting Stomped in Laptop Mag’s Smartphone Madness Challenge, Let’s Change That (Updated)

by: Kellex | posted 03.27.12 | News

As of this moment, the Galaxy Nexus is getting crushed in Laptop Mag’s Smartphone Madness bracket by none other than the HTC Titan II. Pretty sure that is a Windows Phone, yeah it is. Probably the same one that got “smoked” over the weekend by a G-Nex at one of Microsoft’s stores. So let’s show Windows Phone again how good this Nexus is and rack up some votes over there. Otherwise, we may be stuck with a bunch of phones with a “gorgeous UI” that no one will ever buy, battling it out with the Galaxy SII for smartphone supremacy.

At the time of this posting (12:19PM Pacific), we are about 900 votes down. Go get ‘em DL community.

Update: In about an hour and a half, we were able to erase that 900 vote lead and jump up by 1,600 votes. Keep crackin’ away at it though, we don’t want a comeback by an unreleased Windows Phone.

Vote at Laptop Mag’s site.

Cheers Timm Eddy and Pinocchio!

Sorry, can’t take this challenge seriously if the HTC One X lost to the BB Bold 9900.

  When I saw this I knew I couldnt take it Seriously. ISN’T A SMART PHONE yet it won to a FAR Superior next Generation Device. What a JOKEEEEE!

Thats understandable. The only thing the nexus has going for it is the fact that it has the latest OS. As far as phones go its a huge piece of crap.

And now we’re 1300 votes up. WP7 stomped again by the GNex.

Nexus up by 1300 votes. There aren’t even that many Windows phone in existence, so it should be a lock now.

Maybe because the Galaxy Nexus is a poor as excuse for not only a nexus device, but as a phone?

Gnex taking a nice lead

4S out in the first round? I’m no Apple fan, but crikey, that’s seems unpossible.

Also, the One X hasn’t even been released yet, has it? Why not put the GSIII in there if that’s how it’s gonna be played.

(Titan is now getting a serious pipe-hitting beat down…)

  The Huawei Ascend D Quad hasn’t been released yet either. What a janky bracket! HAHA

ROFL The G-Nex is SMASHING the Titan now! Love it!

I think it’s pretty rad that in the original vote there were only 538 votes. :-P
darkseider

That poll is really silly. Not to mention that there seems to be an incredible bias to WP7 phones especially ones that haven’t even been released yet. Hell by the time they do come out Krait and Tegra 3 based handsets will be out and about.

Someone is being stomped, but it is not the GNex.

Nice job guys

Way to go guys. Keep it up!

I’m incredulous about the results on that bracket, so far.

A Blackberry Bold 9900 bests the HTC One X, but the Galaxy SII beats that same Blackberry Bold?

The iPhone 4s loses to the Huawei? (I’m ok with the Lumia 900 wining that region.)

A Galaxy Note loses to an entry level Lumia 710? Ugh!

I think the only region that makes sense is the one with the Galaxy Nexus and Titan II.

Now a full 1k votes ahead!

What a difference 30 minutes makes. ^_-

  No being rude, but I’ll bet it did not count it and you wasted your time. If you look in the box above the vote it says
  Thank you, we have already counted your vote.

Galaxy Nexus is winning now. All is right with the world.

I have a feeling it’s going to come down to the Galaxy Nexus vs the SGSII. The Galaxy Nexus should win, but it may not considering there are many more SGSII users who don’t realize how awful Touchwiz is and how amazing ICS is.

  Ah, but when you put the two together….sweet romance.

Holy crap, I came by and the GNex only had 200 or so votes. I left and see you post this article; over 2k votes. Droidlife. Doing it right.

Just said I was Vote Number 4k. /flex

Since the Titan II isn’t even out yet and no one knows what the hell a Huawei Ascend D Quad is – I’m guessing this “contest” doesn’t necessarily have to include current or main stream phones. I say we throw in an OG Droid into the mix. I know I’d vote for it.
