***** The Official Galaxy Nexus Thread *****

[Kreeeee]

Now you will be able to use the phone as a games console:

With only 1 USB port? You would need to use Bluetooth pads as the USB can't be used for other data when it is being used for HDMI.

If you was buying one, which would you go for from the Razr, GN or the GS2?

I'd wait until the release dates of the Razr and GN are confirmed.

How come? What could change between now and then?

I thought MHL port can be split.

Do you think the Razr will be good enough to be compared to the other 2 though? I really want to get the razr because I absolutely love how it looks, but don't want to get a phone that is outdated before it's even started.

I think spec wise it matches up quite well. I'm not sure I'm ready to trust Motorola yet though.

Well, if there is a big gap between the dates, get whatever comes out first!

I hope you're joking...

 

[Robbo]

I hope you're joking...

What are the dates?

If the guy asking likes the Razr, he should probably get that unless he's worried about updates being fast.

 

[sarge78]

Both are coming out next month. (o2)

Buying the razr would be a gamble without testing. We have seen duel cores like the artrix and the LG that spec wise should be good but are killed software wise. I would choose the sgn over the razr for the fact it comes with android 4, the razr will come with butchered 2.3 and may officially never get versio
n 4 . Bit like buying a laptop with vista on and the makers not confirming if windows 7 will work.

Get both and return the one you like least!

Has the uk atrix received its 2.3 update yet?

No update when I look on mine yet.

that's bad. as bad as LG with the O2X.

Motorola and LG can't be trusted with updates IMO.

From what i was reading T-Mobile and Orange are meant to be releasing 2.3 very soon, but who knows really but the states had it for a while now.

 

[sarge78]

Yep, Europe is still waiting for 'official' GB... that's ~8 months, absolutely shocking.

Only buy a Motorola if...
a) Your happy with the preloaded software until you get a new phone.
b) Don't mind rooting/flashing yourself. They're brilliant for 'leaked' updates and custom ROMs + the bootloader is unlocked on the UK razr.

Stock Due 7th November

Lol every item is "Pre Order Now Free UK Shipping".

 

[reflux]

Get both and return the one you like least!

That's not a bad way to blow £1k

 

[Robbo]

Surely the Razr will get ICS early 2012 as Motorola said so and Google own them...

Absolutely shocking from Google and Motorola to be honest.

 

[Caseh]

I might end up going with this, not sure I could give £450~ to a company that have such a poor record for software updates!
