    Post What is the reason why you chosen the gnexus from other phones?

    The devs and the fact that when new cool features are made/coded/summons though unicorn sacrifice, the gnex is first in line for them. Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

    Post Interesting Article about Google Wallet and root...

    Even for when the article was written, I feel that there was a higher understanding of how to work around root and wallet. At least that is what I have experienced on my vzw gbex (running 3 different families of roms in the course of using Google wallet) Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

    Post Google Wallet: Whats the BIG deal

    I feel that apple will be the force that creates one standard for mobile payments. They have a very powerful draw because so many people buy a single phone. Until then, all hail Google wallet. I hope it stays for the long run, as I use it anywhere there is a pay pass terminal. Sent from my...

    Post Battery life in comparison to iPhone?

    In an LTE coverage area with moderate to heavy usage (web browsing in poor (read indoors) reception), social media, short videos, sms, 10 min email syncs) I can get about 12-14 hours of battery. In CDMA only mode in the same usage, I will go 20 hours before the battery is flat. In other words...

    Post Here’s Why Android’s UI Will Never Be As Smooth As iOS Or Windows Phone 7

    Here's an analogy for you guys. Android is to ios as the concord is to the 747. The iPhone and its os will happily carry the masses around in relative ease in a decent manner. Like a 747. However, an android device is like the concord, an achievement of technology that can do so much more than...

    Post OK I really want the Nexus but I'm not due for an upgrade. You're all smart, help!

    Getting an extra is not a bad plan, but the cost adds up eventually. And correct me if I'm wrong, but verizon is not doing the traditional new every two years updates anymore. I think your best plan is to wait until the year and a half marker (I know I get some discount at that point) or buy a...

    Post Is the no sd card a huge down for the nexus?

    I honestly am starting to prefer the lack of SD card. I have the VZW version, so 32gb is a lot of storage to begin with, and the internal memory is faster than the cheaper SD cards. Also, USB works fine for me. Sent from my XOOM 4.0 on xda premium

    I have the LTE nexus, and yes, LTE does do a number on the battery, and yes, it is ever so slightly thicker. however, I'm pulling 10 mb/s down in a very poor coverage area, and a reliable 40+ mb/s down when I get closer to the city.

    Post Face lock actually is useful!!! And not a gimmick like they say!!!

    I tried it for two days, but I became tired of looking like a real winner in public unlocking my phone, as well as it didn't catch my face all the time. (about 66% of the time) I do agree however that it is more than a gimmick.

    Post Samsung Galaxy Nexus: Too Big For the Human Hand?

    I think that the nexus is ok for people with above average sized hands, but really, if your hands are too small for the GNEX, then they are too small for most of the 4.3" devices out there right now anyways: Here is a comparison between the GNEX and the DroidX (4.3"). There really isnt that much...
