I only need a microsd slot and/or more storage (32 GB is my minimum); I don’t care about LTE… I’m always on wifi anyway (with way more than a 20 mbps pipe)

Hello,
LG is one of the bad companies to give timely software update on their devices. Rather than Announcing 4.1 update schedule they should provide the schedule of the devices who havent received ICS 4.0.
They were going to update LG optimus black in 3rd quarter for ICS 4.0. and still they are not coming forward to announce the actual date and update schedule. they just wanted to increase sales by making this type of false statement.
This type of companies should be banned or fined for making false statement to higher their sales and doesn’t stay on their words.
I am really disappoint to hear that google will be making their next nexus flagship mobile with LG. if they dont care about their customers than we don’t need to purchase their devices.

That is if you have a decent signal. Recently tried switching and couldn’t even get one bar in my house.

Even if you bought a phone that worked on ATT LTE bands that will only work with ATT and Rogers in Canada, All other carriers in the US and abroad are using different bands.

Regardless of what the rumour mill says I think making a Nexus without LTE makes a lot of sense.

The problem with LTE is Europe and Asian are actually the biggest cell markets but yet neither has fully deployed LTE (if at all).

Considering google seems to be trying to make one variant of the Nexus like apple did with the iPhone it wouldn’t make sense to put LTE in a phone when LTE won’t work anywhere but north america. Even in North America there is no LTE “standard” everyone is just using their own tech and calling it LTE.

Step backwards? That’s worse than Apple who has been standing in the same place for the last 3 iPhones.

With rumors of a 32 gb N7, I’d think they’d be well aware of how people want storage in a device, just hope if all nexus devices this year have minimal onboard memory, hopefully the’ll add and sd slot, at least.
Hopefully Motorola nexus will have an sd slot, every moto phone always has an sd slot.

I think that there are actually other nexi in production, but LG just sucks at keeping things under wraps.

Not sure why I care anyways, I’m on Verizon. And thanks to their lack of wanting to give timely updates I will probably never get to own another Nexus device unless I switch carriers. So I guess that I’m just trolling anyways..lol!!

a) I’m not sure if someone looking forward to a Nexus device would constitute an “average user”.

b) I agree about LTE, but I think there’s still a good chance it’ll end up having GSM LTE radios. If not, I don’t think this phone would be acceptable for use, even by developers. who would develop on a phone that’s not compatible with current technologies?

Camera and storage are two things that matter to the average user. If the camera is on par with the old model, less storage, and slower data speeds then I would consider this a downgrade. I mean no LTE is a joke in 2012!!

Nah, I’m hopping off this bandwagon and grabbing some unlimited fauxG from T-Mobile. I’m just waiting for the right device, meanwhile my ETF can drop a bit. Since I’m on shared data anyway, why not make the transition?

Might be the comment of the year!!!

wow lol. Anyway, it’s a downgrade in that one spec, albeit a very important one (so far). The camera is no less than equal, but has more megapixels. In every other spec it destroys the gnex, unfortunately it’s made by LG
