no SD slot = many lost sales esp the geek market which is always going to be the first onto this kind of thing.
I'm not actually fussed about the CPU, my tegra2 atrix is plenty fast and with gpu acceleration I can't imagine wanting it to be much faster, I mean cmon its not like I play crysis or crunch sql dbs on this thing lol

IT is all in all a very nice phone thou but 16gb fail, like other XDA addicts I'm rockin 16+32 and not going back to only 16

"Geek market?" it's a developer phone. What else can be more "geekier" than that to provide developers with the latest Android OS.

A phone isn't meant to be carrying all your movies. Sure, if you have SD slot + internal sdcard(16GB)... you can store everything. But honestly, are you going to use every single little piece of movie or song that is going to be on your phone? No.

The phone also supports USB OTG. You can use a USB flash drive if necessary.

hey buddy there are those of us who are nerds in multiple areas you know, like er, music maybe lol .

For the record, 16+32 lets me store maybe 1/4 of my music. No I don't use my phone for movies. I'm sure there are some people out there who do (and who want 720p rips too).

way to project your usage patterns onto everyone else.

what do they gain from not having SD card slot? that ease of use argument / confusing mount points etc.? Wait you just said its a dev phone. ??!?!? If you don't want your app to target external storage then just don't use that feature...

What use is it having a 720p screen if you can't watch movies on it?

Not a very sensible argument.

It's not about movies. I carry most of my music in lossless format.
16GB just isn't enough for anything. That cloud argument doesn't good up either, data is limited and streaming quality still sucks.

Moreover, a dev phone makes all the more for removable storage as we do a lot of flashing and such and its always convenient to have the other files safe on a SD.

The filesystem argument is understood, but there's no excuse for not including an extSD for just media & general files.

It's a pointless argument to convince someone if the 16GB is enough for a phone or should he go for models with higher storage capacity. it can be easily decided comparing ur last experience.I have a 16GB nexus s and I think doubling up my internal storage will make my life much easier specially considering the 720 video capturing feature of this phone.
any of you guys seen this:

looks like it's about to drop, finally.
so sad that samsung/google ****ed this one up and didn't at least tell us that a 32gb gsm version will indeed be released

now i gotta find a buyer for my 16gb one...\

More delays.. According to expansys it'll arrive at the end of Feb AT THE EARLIEST. I'm in shock at how badly this has worked out, I should never have waited for this and just snatched up the 16gig.

For long trips I'll just plug in a USB key to watch movies once Google gets its head out of its ass and fixes the OTG host issue

check out "[root] StickMount (G.Nexus)" in the Market.

Hi All,

I placed a preorder for a 32Gb version at Computeruniverse.net. Today I got a message from them:

We are sorry to inform that the item you have ordered (listed below) can no longer be obtained from the manufacturer, contrary to the information originally provided to us by our suppliers. Unfortunately we have also been unable to locate this product form an alternative source.

We will therefore be unable to supply this item.

So it looks like 32Gb version is delayed, or maybe even cancelled...

Clove had it at 3rd of May, now it's back at 27th February:

We've just been notified this morning that Samsung have dropped the Galaxy Nexus 32GB from production. At this time it looks like they will not be releasing it. Not good news at all.

Whoa, that _sucks_. But thanks for the update, Corey.

So is that in then? No 32GB GSM Galaxy Nexus?

Does anyone think that replacing the Galaxy Nexus GSM's 16GB chip with with a 32GB one is at all a possibility? These guys used to do memory upgrades back in the old Windows Mobile PDA days. But looking at the Galaxy Nexus iFixit teardown, I can't even see where the 16GB memory chip is...

We are just waiting on an official word, but that's what we have been told by multiple suppliers. Emails came in a few minutes apart.

Argh!!!!!! Makes me want to punch someone in the face

Appreciate the quick update though Corey, this is obviously not directed at you, but I'm so frustrated at having had to wait this long for nothing. Damn you Samsung!

good to see expansys team here on xda-developers. kudos to u guys !!

spacebar2011 · Feb 15, 2012

I highly suspect they're bringing a refreshed Galaxy Nexus with a better camera and a newer GPU/CPU. There is no other reason why they'd delay the 32GB version by such a long period and then drop it altogether. New Galaxy Nexus coming..

i want/need that refreshed version, even though i absolutely despise how they released the galaxy nexus.
i need a nexus device, hopefully they'll release it w/ 64gb.

but we can already be thankful, that they built a nexus phone, i'm pretty sure they've got all their resources on the galaxy s3. how dare we expect a 32gb gsm version and the original vehicle mount.

2nd what you said. I will trade in my 16 gig GNX in a heart beat for a refreshed one.. can only wait.

And don't underestimate Samsung's production capability. They've got huge lines and a massive in-house components advantage.
