  1. Maybe I have had too many roadside bombs go off next to me, but I can't make out a difference between the two. Maybe the GNex sounds a bit tinnier.
  2. I'm talking about the regular speaker. The one that faces your ear. I don't use speakerphone either. There have been several times where I was driving on post, see post security, and put the phone in my lap so I don't get busted talking on the phone while driving. I can still hear the earpiece and the people I am talking to can hear me as well. Last I heard, ICS will be coming to the RAZR in Q3
  3. That's funny, because at my work, you could consider it marginal coverage. I was in the middle of the woods plotting out a land nav course and I kept getting calls with no problems whatsoever. Then you add on the fact that the speaker on the Nexus is nearly as loud as the speakerphone on most phones when turned up and the speaker on my wife's RAZR MAXX is so quiet that if there is any background noise, the phone speaker is completely washed out. The OS difference is night and day. RAZR is buggy, laggy and laden with bloat, where the Nexus is slick and fast. The wife wants her Epic 4G Touch back in the worst way. She hates the RAZR MAXX. To be fair, I have only really played with her phone when it is not functioning well (she hands it to me to fix) but for a stock, non-rooted, phone to be acting this way less than a week after activation is unacceptable, especially for a "flagship" like the RAZR MAXX. And I have done a factory reset and that is not the problem.
  4. Explain please... I have noticed zero problems with voice calls.
  5. I am at -93 dBm sitting on my couch, but droidRFtool CDMA is telling me that I am 8742 miles from the tower. That is pretty good signal propigation.
  6. Well, Marklar Marklar's a good Marklar. I have Marklar been a Marklar of Marklar. Marklared from my Marklar Marklar using Marklar
  7. My commander has an army issued iPad and all he uses on it is email, email attachments and angry birds. There are laptops cheap enough for that use and really cheap Android tablets that could fit the bill. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
  8. Yeah, the cloud is great and can reduce what has to be saved on the phone but not on tiered or throttled att. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
  9. It also has to be unplugged, or it will just reset. I learned that through trial and error and error and error...
  10. I was talking to a coworker about it. Pretty much anywhere I go that I would use a tablet vs my phone, has WiFi. Home, work, coffee shop, all have WiFi. I don't see the need to have a monthly plan for a tablet. Now if I had to work in remote areas, then I would see the need for 3G or 4G plan on a tablet, or a tethering plan.
  11. The HTC One series was announced last night. The One-X will be an AT&T phone with ICS and sense 4.0, a 4.7 inch 720p screen, 1.5 Ghz dual core Snapdragon S4 processor, beats audio and 1800 mAh battery. It also will sport a wireless HDMI connection (with an adapter.) The One-V will be an entry level ICS model with Sense 3.6, a 3.7" SLCD2 screen with 480x800 resolution, 1GHz single-core processor, 5MP camera, 512MB of RAM and 4GB internal storage, but no expansion SD slot. The One-S will go to T-Mobile and will get most of the items from the HTC One X, such as ICS, Beats Audio and HTC Sense 4.0, but it’ll be more compact with a 4.3” qHD Super AMOLED display, dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 processor 8MP camera with F2.0 lens. It will be 0.31” thick, which is way thinner than the HTC products we have seen. It appears the HTC One line all contain their new ImageChip, which allows for advanced picture taking abilities like taking pictures while filming a video and low light capabilities.
  12. LG, king of the low to mid-range android handsets is reportedly "heavily in discussions" with Google to make the next Nexus phone. Ramchan Woo, the leader of the company's smartphone division broke the news of their desire to be the next Nexus manufacturer to CNET. This COULD be a good thing, as LG has been doing more with less in their smartphones. The Optimus S is one of the longest tenured smartphones at Sprint and has unimpressive stats, but still manages to be a servicable handset. It might put LG in the elite group of flagship manufacturers if they secure this contract. If you are not a LG fan, fear not, as no firm commitments have been made yet. http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13970_7-57385389-78/lg-in-talks-with-google-for-nexus-device/
