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

Anyone else tried using another phone after spending time with the Nexus?

They feel like toy phones, I tried to use my girlfriend's HTC Desire and it felt horrible, such a tiny device.

I can't say I've felt this, no. Though it's probably because the Desire is so old and inferior now more than the size.
 
yeah had trouble using my wifes phone, they all feel small and the screens look off. saying that im getting lag with mine of late, in-between screen changes and going to the app draw there seems to be stutter
 
Quite interested in this phone...what does everyone think of this deal? Seems tempting enough! :p

Samsung Galaxy Nexus £100.00
300mins + 3000texts + 500MB Data Vodafone @ £36 p/m *12 Months* Phones4U
£55.00 Cashback on Android Phones. Quidco

Seems not too bad in all honesty, especially for 12 months.

Totaling £477.00 for 12 months, usage and phone, doesnt seem too bad!

Yes it's a nice price works out cheaper than buying outright when you factor in the minutes.

Thought so mate...decided to go for it :p

Making a departure from Windows Mobile/Phone for the first time in 4 years so will be interesting to see what the other side of the coin is like for 12 months at least!

Seemed too good a deal to miss out on.
 
I bought this toy 2 days ago. But I am a complete n00b to Android phones, smartphone actually.

There are only a few stock apps, and also whenever I want to do something more like downloading the Opera Mobile, it always prompts me to Sign up for Google.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Also any online user guide/tricks that are useful?


thanks!

Mine when i had it always lagged a bit in the app draw no matter what custom rom or when it was stick, funny thing all the videos i see show the same thing on this phone but on the Nexus S with ICS its as smooth as butter.
 
There isn't any 'lag' per se, but there is micro stutter in places. All devices have it though and I imagine most people don't notice it.

I asked others and they could see it. We see a noticeable delay during the animations but it can be intermittent. It's as if something is bottlenecking the rendering resulting in a very low frame rate. :confused:
