I agree. It was frustrating, but late updates are not the only reason Google did not go with Verizon this time. And I still think “disaster” is a bit harsh.

they didn’t say it word for word but there is a reason they are not doing another one right now… case and point http://www.droid-life.com/2012/10/29/andy-rubin-talks-about-the-lack-of-lte-in-the-lg-nexus-4/http://www.droid-life.com/2012/10/29/andy-rubin-talks-about-the-lack-of-lte-in-the-lg-nexus-4/

Google has never come out officially and said it was a disaster. It was unfortunate, but it was hardly a disaster. Apple Maps in iOS 6 is a disaster. Having to wait a couple more months for an update is not a disaster.

yea I did mean GSM but google has come out and said they are not happy with the schedule and many other things, people buy a nexus to have stock android and to have the newest version of android and thanks to verizon that does not happen, the updating process is a disaster! google has said it and most other people have said it. Its not just me.

“It is a disaster because the verizon/lte g-nex gets updates months after the cdma version.”

I don’t consider that a disaster. Just because you do doesn’t make it true. Considering the verizon Gnex still gets updates WAY before any other non-Nexus phone on any carrier, I’d hardly consider having to wait a couple months a “disaster”. Annoying? yes. A disaster? hardly.
I also assume you mean to say “GSM version” instead of “cdma version”.

…you really dont read what I say, you are taking anything you can out of context. I explained what I mean by disaster after that thing called a comma. It is a disaster because the verizon/lte g-nex gets updates months after the cdma version. I have one, and i like the phone (not love by any means… it has horrible camera and its really not all that durable) but the update problem is not only recognized by me… google has even come out and spoken out it.

The bezel is wasted space, the only thing it adds is size, and this already a good sized phone…

The current Gnex is not a disaster. I love mine as does nearly everyone else I know who has one.

…seriously? ok well this recent verizon galaxy nexus has been a disaster, what i mean by that is we dont get updates onetime because of ridiculous testing periods and we were even dropped from official support for a while. The no LTE is the only point that might not be true, all the others such as smaller memory is confirmed! it only have 8gb and 16gb models and there is not removable battery, you should read all the information before you post.

It does look like a toy that two kids pulled from either side and disfigured.

MIght be the best decision you ever made. Prepaid FTW. Contracts are worse than being imprisoned.

No problem. You can always use one of the cloud services for automatic scheduled backups while you’re on Wi-Fi or just use something like this:

I didn’t know Google took a stance against SD – *search* – now I do, thnx for that. While I think their reasoning is sound, I’m not sure why large internal storage and SD capability need to be mutually exclusive. I still want one for backup convenience (I flash roms constantly). Oh well. I’ll take a nexus sans SD over the rest if I must… but I reserve the right to occasionally bitch about it.

Personally I’ve owned every Nexus (including the N7) and I think I like
the Gnex the best, for me it’s the best nexus yet. This new LG looks
pretty nice considering it looks like the Gnex but I just don’t know
about that chrome bezel might have to ditch that…
