Here, I posted before on Samsung U-nivez wall
https://www.facebook.com/SamsungUnivez/posts/404925649977

Solid enough news for now......
As you can see, this is not a screenshot, and Samsung U-nivez has not deleted the post either.

same here...... (:
And I hope telco won't sell it... However, I think a telco will sell it. If a telco does sell it, I hope the contractless price won't be sky high. Nexus S ORIGINAL set sold by Maxis is still about 2K+. Launch price of the Nexus S contractless by Maxis was 2.5K when it realistically should be 2K or lower.

Well, they offer me 2299 for Nexus S, when I ask about Galaxy Nexus.  shocking.gif

That was exactly what I mean. If you by chance want a Nexus S, then better get it from directd. Much cheaper.

Good to tease "fruit" users too, when we show them our Zero-Shutter Lag Camera not to mention HD screen with whooping HD resolution of a notebook tongue.gif

Not to forget BIGGER screen... Seriously, "fruit" screen looks like a midget weh now. based on many peoples views, they say they Galaxy Nexus is big, but easy to hold just like the "fruit" and still pocket friendly.

Ergonomics is the key to success, do you know what makes Nexus special than other phones including fruit. The curvature screen, it makes users easily handle a phone much comfortable and finger-friendly. Especially, when comes to scrolling, tapping the screen.

Not to mention the best JavaScript coding is on the Galaxy Nexus latest Android Browser, I wish they bring along Google Chrome to replace the stock android browser. Just like Fruit bring their "Safari" to their phones. That would be nice...  brows.gif

The browser is actually a slim down version of Chrome...... I can't say for sure, but it does use Webkit.

So this time, Nexus not decide to bound by telco's. It's a hurray for me. OK, estimate price RM 2199 or 2099? If RM 1999 would be a great deal for most of us. smile.gif
*
YAHOOOO. Pricing I guess its like u said earlier. We would have to be dreaming to see it at RM 1999. But we can still dream. xD
EDIT: AP set......... Pffffttttt

I'm not 100% sure, that's just my guess. Maybe there will be more docks for different function from 3rd party.

but the difference between this and Rhyme is that Rhyme comes with the dock when you buy the phone, while this you'll have to buy it separately yourself.  laugh.gif
aww thanks! happy.gif really appreciate it!

I really put quite some of thoughts in it.
yup XD however that might change once the phone is out.  tongue.gif

Ok er, I think should mention it
1. Doesn't support USB mass storage, instead it supports MTP and PTP which will work without any issue in Windows. However, Mac users will have to use this application to transfer files: http://www.android.com/filetransfer/

2. The GPU isn't half bad. I know you already posted it, but add in this graph
http://images.anandtech.com/graphs/graph5133/42471.png
http://images.anandtech.com/graphs/graph5133/42472.png

And remind users that it is only second to the S2 i9100 (non G) which is no longer sold in Malaysia. Moreover, the G level performance *should* be somewhere around the Bionic and LG Optimus 3D's range. So, in Malaysia if you disregard the Note (its a bit too large for a phone anyway), Galaxy Nexus does have the best GPU.

3. Screen is Pentile. However, looks crisp and sharp because of the high resolution. <- Maybe better don't mention its pentile?

4. Flash Player is currently not supported. However, Adobe and Google have confirmed they are working on it.

EDIT: Fixed the "Apple" in number 4.

great idea, updated 3rd post.

However I don't think we have to mention about the S2's issue, because I'm not trying to prove that GNex's GPU is the best.. but to justify why not having the best does not matter.
will do so in the fourth post. I want to keep the first post clean. tongue.gif
Plus, does anyone actually use those links?
*
No problem. But what I am just worried is that people think the S2 in the benchmark there is the same S2 sold in Malaysia. That is all. Its written very well by the way..... rclxms.gif We want you to be TS for V3! rclxms.gif thumbup.gif

Just keep spamming the software update button. A new firmware with the volume button fix was pushed out this morning. Search for samfirmware on twitter.

If an update IS released, and it isn't pushed to you, maybe you can try this trick I found in Nexus S xda forums.

nexus s force update
Force check in your phone.

From dialer: *#*#2432546#*#* then check for update in settings again.

Too short hands on to actually do a review. It would be unjust. But I'll try to molest as much as possible and bring charger as well in case it ran flat.

I have heard from another user (friend's friend), battery last for 1/2 day only.  ohmy.gif

The software update would be from Google directly, not from Samsung, right?

As I have Galaxy phones that requires me to login Samsung Dive account in order to check for OTA updates.

Nexus, its from Google.

No prob. The free/trial version only tags 20 songs at one use, so after you hit 20, close the app and restart it back. The paid version is unlimited.

I only use this to fix tagging that doesn't work on iTunes. iTunes has built-in tagger that does it automatically and unlimited.

I use Windows Media Player, it usually works well, but sometimes it screws up the tags......

Er, guys I know u guys were discussing about Umobile. You were all talking about the RM 28 Prepaid. That one has a 500 MB FUP(cap) right? After that you can still surf, but will be slowed down. I wonder what is the speeds like once u exceed 500 MB?

Another thing is Umobile offers RM 28 postpaid plan. To see more, just click the link.
http://www.u.com.my/postpaid-packages/new-postpaid-plans

Postpaid vs prepaid that I see:
1 GB FUP (cap) vs 500 MB
100 free SMS to Umobile and 200 free SMS to outside Umboile vs 30 free SMS
0 free minutes vs 100 free minutes
Higher sms/call rates vs cheaper call/sms rates (on average)

I text more than I call, so should be no issue. At the same time, I don't text like mad, so I should be under the 200 free SMS...... And we now got Whatsapp/Viber so yea....
Just wondering, anyone here knows how long is the contract for the postpaid line? I never had a postpaid line, so I wonder how is it like once I make the switch? And what is the process of switching providers like? Is it simple or complicated?

o.O having a data plan that is affordable is off topic? Then what is the point of smartphone lol? But I do agree with you a couple of pages ago. Over 1 word that starts with "f"... Its not the swear word, its just a neutral word, yet it had a heated discussion there.

if you are not bound to get phone from umobile , you are not under contract ( should be the same for umobile )

like mine , i didnt have any contract with digi even thou i using smart plan 48 . i can change anytime i want .

the prepaid has better rate on call /sms ( 500mb )
postpaid have bigger quota . ( 1gb ) , and more costly rate for sms and call

up to you to decide.

I heard the cap will be 64kbps (not kByte, but kbit). Basically, nothing you can do with it, other than just messaging.

There is NO contract for U mobile's postpaid. You can terminate any time you want, bill will be calculated based on pro-rated figure.
*
Thanks for your replies. So as long as I don't buy the phone, I can terminate whenever I want. Understood xD

@Harddisk I saw that too, but some time the "real life" experience of throttling can be a different scenario. And maybe it isn't as bad as Telco X's speeds once your throttled although both may have the same "theoretical" throttled speeds

Process is, make sure your current line is not tied to any contract, then just go over to the new carrier's counter and tell them you wanna do an MNP. That's all.

Do call the bank to update them on your MNP as some banks don't send SMS to non original carrier's phone prefix, if you get what I mean. smile.gif

Is Galaxy Nexus better than SGS2? Hard time to decide whether to wait or just get the SGS2 as SGS2 will also get the ICS update?

Read "What makes the Nexus special?" in the FAQ here: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=47004231

Its explained so well there, that I don't see further reason to comment on it.

hmmm...wondering whether sgsII G version will get many ICS custom rom or not since it is using TI OMAP proc.
*
Its not really the processor here that is the issue. It is whether the developers are willing to put in their effort in another device or not. And they have already put in a lot of effort into the non-G model. However, you may see developers port RAZR or Galaxy Nexus ROMs into the 19100G. But again, whether developers want to support it ultimately is another question.

this is why i am in dilemma in choosing my upcoming phone.
prefer to play with many custom roms but i9100 hard to get in market.

from previous nexus line, the custom rom for nexus is lesser than sgs series.
*
The thing is, I see a lot of Touchwiz based custom roms on the SGS (i9000) line each time I lurk around xda. Real AOSP based roms, not that many...... And I think we all agree that MIUI and CM are one of the best custom ROMs out there. And they support all the Nexus. As for the i9100, I think its (almost) impossible to find a NEW set in the market. So, that just nails down to the 2nd hang i9100, Note (Note and i9100 use similar hardware, shouldn't be too difficult to port; but better play wait and see approach if ur getting the Note just for custom roms) and the Galaxy Nexus.

EDIT: Take note, currently I do not use any Android phones, I used to use a Galaxy Ace, now using a Nokia phone.
