Galaxy Nexus At Google Samsung Android (Ice Cream Sandwich) Party!

Galaxy Nexus At Google Samsung Android (Ice Cream Sandwich) Party! http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
Looks like Hong Kong party went very well, umm except for the face lock feature, which locked out the demo duo.
Ice Cream Sandwich makes you want the next Google phone, Galaxy Nexus, the world's first Ice Cream Sandwich phone was announced and man, when you see the possibilities, iPhone 4S looks puny. I would not have got an iPhone 4s if not for Steve Jobs but now I want a Galaxy Nexus. Perhaps I will sell it on CraigsList. The phone with 4.65" HD Super AMOLED screen (1280 X 720 Res), a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor and a unique curved design, oh add LTE and HSPA+ to that as well. Then take a look at this iPhone 4S vs Galaxy S II drop test, and if Galaxy Nexus is to have the strength anything close to Galaxy S II, it will survive as long as the iPhone 3GS did in my hands.
The phone has 5MP rear facing camera that is capable of 1080P movie recording and photos without any shutter lag and low light shooting capability.
Galaxy Nexus has no physical buttons and ROBOTO font will make text on the phone lively. The virtual buttons can rotate and hide when not needed.
Phone will be released in November, in Japan through NTT - DOCOMO and followed by US.
Then of course the phone comes with iCe Cream Sandwich, or Android 4.0 but that got to be another post. But the NFC based Android Beam, you just bump phones to exchange information like contact info, web pages, map direction etc.

Now that iPhone 4S saga has calmed down and reached normal level in tech radar, there is something else is coming to be the news of the day.
The release of Google's next Android OS code named Ice Cream Sandwich and the announcement of next instance of purely Google version of Android phone, Samsung Galaxy Nexus, is coming on October 19th.in Hong Kong. This was originally supposed to have happened on October 11th and was postponed out of respect to Steve Jobs, who left us recently.
But it may also reveal the release date for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and the HTC Vigor (codenamed Rezound) on the same day. According to a leaked / faked document, both the phones will launch on Verizon on or after November 10th. Both priced at $299.99 with a contract.
I guess we will have to wait and find out on 19th.

HTC Vigor, or HTC Rezound, according to the rumors has a 4.3-inch screen with 720HD capability, a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, 1GB RAM and an 8MP rear camera. among other things.

Nexus Prime, Will It Be The Samsung GT-i9250?

Nexus Prime, Samsung GT-i9250 http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
With rumored specifications such as Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich running underneath a HD (1280x720) screen of 4.5", a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, Samsung GT-I9250 stand good enough to be Nexus Prime for me. But there are other phones pointing towards Nexus Prime but if the Nexus S is any indication, it will be a good phone and I really like to have an Android phone with native OS.
Fact that Samsung already has a support site ready for GT-I9250 must be an indication that it is ready to be released and I am actually looking forward to it as I am in dire need for a new phone.
So I will keep on looking at the Samsung site and you can too.
