Figured as much. Thanks for the reply, I’ll look into it. I pre-ordered one for my wife and while she doesn’t mess around with rooting and flashing I figure it’ll be good to know this stuff if she doesn’t like it and we end up swapping.

It apparently does. Head on to xda-developers and read some of the posts there… Though they did make Triangle Away work with the new ROMs.

They only charge you tax on the full price if you live in a greedy, broke state like California. We don’t pay sales tax on the full price here in NY. Our state government is not that greedy or broke…yet

Yeah it’s always good to test for a bit, so you have a baseline experience, before you go installing other ROMs.

I had the Gnex for two weeks. I had issues with calls getting garbly, and a few times I was talking yet the other person could not hear. The speakerphone was also terrible. Like no joke, terrible. A big deal for me I realized. It came with 32 gigs, but no external sd card expansion slot so that’s your max. Battery life was terrible as well.

I returned the Gnex and pre-ordered the S III. It will have a better camera, processor, double the RAM, bigger battery, bigger screen, screen is reported to have more natural colors than the Gnex, external SD card slot that will handle up to a 64 Gig SD card.

Oh and the tax they charge you which is on the full price of the phone before it’s discount and not just the $199.
