DONATE TO ME
Default Couple of Questions

Hi guys, I'm going to be upgrading to either this, or the HTC Rezound when they come out. I have a couple of key questions that may swing me in either direction.

1. Does anyone know if this phone have an SD card slot? That might be a dealbreaker for me.

2. To anyone who has ever had a nexus/non-HTC phone: Will there be Sense based roms for this phone? I really like having the option to go back to Sense. The Incredible was my first android phone and Sense for me just looks better than pure android. Then again, I haven't actually had a chance to play with ICS yet, so I guess we will see.


Thanks for your time and I look forward to possibly becoming a part of the Galaxy Nexus Community.
Current Devices: Samsung Galaxy SIII (d2vzw), Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Toro)

There have been Sense ports for the N1. There was an attempt to port Sense to the NS that stalled, due to an unfortunate EFS wiping script contained in the ROM. Many NS users lost their IMEI number due to that.... I'm sure someone will try. However, the New Nexus will get allot of development love I imagine.
AFAIK no SD slot. There was one on the N1 but none on the NS and I think I heard there wasn't one on the Galaxy Nexus.

1. All indications from news reports showing pictures of the inside of the phone show no MicroSD card slot, but there is no official word at this point.

1. no SD card slot
2. it more than likely wont be possible since sense is made by HTC and things are needed to port them correctly. im not saying its not possible, but it will take aloooot of time to get it running properly that its hardly worth it
