"With Google" was a prototype. I prefer the nexus logo.
Looks fairly similar to the current nexus

Dealbreaker will be the notification light and price of course. Let's do this

What do you mean notification light being a deal breaker? It was confirmed to have one weeks ago and if you don't want it, just disable it?
A notification light is far from anything that could deal break me.

can't they make it even thinner? It looked so much like nexus, even with improved cpu it won't make it any smoother.

Metal was so 2009. With newer, lighter and tougher materials like carbon fiber, you aren't going to see many more phones with any type of metal in them. Yes, regular "plastic" can have a cheap feel. But there are lots of newer process we are seeing on these materials that can give it a high quality look and even better feel than metal. Even so, I don't think the Nexus 4 displays much of a high quality look to it. My guess is Google is trying to keep the costs down to make it affordable in the Play Store.

Any good cases? I have the otterbox defender and its great just really bulky and the screen protector is awful imo.
Looking for a nice tpu style case like the spg ones.
Also any suggestions on a screen protector? I was thinking about getting the spg flex.

The bulk that the commuter case adds to the phone is very minimal in my opinion. It makes it look very sexy, sleek and protected. Also the build quality is very nice.
Also got a 1 year Sprint warranty and a Lifetime Otterbox warranty.
Great case.

So i decided to a Comparison/ vs video of the verizon GS3 vs Verizon G-Nexus... you may or may not agree with this video, non-the less im interested in hearing what you have to say... tell me whether im wrong or right? let me hear your side of the story
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fE4NVOvweR4
Your right about the display being better on the gs3 I don't know why Samsung didn't put the same one on the galaxy nexus but if my nexus isn't next to a gs3 then I think my screen is great
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Your right... the only thing that boggles my mind is that ... they both have the same screen technically... so I don't know how the GS3 looks better

I also think it's a different screen and of course wanted to put the best displays on there own Samsung branded phones. The note also has a better screen than my galaxy nexus

Either way, Google didn't want bleeding edge anything in any of the Nexus phones.

What do you guys think I can do I want another nexus only got 15$ I'm pocket how do my options look?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
If you only have 15 dollars then get a screen protector. That's really your only option if that's your budget. Now if you've had the phone for less than 30 days you can add square trade to it for 99.99

Found that out with my ns4g when truck ran over it 2 months after having it and I took it apart. Craziest thing tho...a large portion of glass is straight gone and it still lights up just can't see anything but lines and a slight green tint and computer sees it if plug into usb. Before my current phone (gnex) came out cheapest could find screen for it was $175. Not i think saw for a hundred. It's been sitting in drawer. Hope my gnex doesn't break and don't want to know how much for screen.

Just posting a question as I want to know and hear if anyone is even contemplating on making a switch? I'm no iPhone fanboy and think the Samsung Galaxy S 3 surpasses the iPhone 5 on many levels. :good:
Edit: The title states Samsung Galaxy S II but I meant III
I am but i will keep my sg3 as well as my one x.

How dare you. This is an insult to the galaxy s2 which despite being a little old, is way better than the iPhone 5
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I won't be switching to the iPhone 5 because I love T-Mobile, I love tinkering with Android, and because I love my SIII.
However, everyone keeps going on about how it looks the same as the 4s and I just can't agree with this. Yes, the front looks the same (just longer) but they really have updated the features that I hated about the 4/4s. For example, I thought it was ridiculous that they made the back of the 4 and 4s glass. It looked lame and was just one more piece to easily break. I also didn't like the silver bezel (not a fan of it on the SIII either).
Now that the bezel is black and the back of the phone is no longer glass, I am actually a fan of it. I especially like that it is a bit thinner than the 4/4s and skinnier than the SIII.
If I was a big iTunes user, needed my phone to seamlessly work with my Macbook Pro (Android sucks at this), and enjoyed the simplicity of IOS I would probably get it. But I'm definitely sticking with Android. The SIII is the most solid phone I've ever owned.
Apple says the gs3 basically is an iPhoneso I got the best iPhone already

True that the SGS 3 might be like the iPhone 5, but I would take the SGS 3 over the 5 any day. The only nice thing I like about the 5 is the aluminum body and how solid it feels (if its anything like the 4). Other than that, they can have it

Hopefully u don't use a screen protector. It makes it not work as well. Other than that I live mine. The only thing I don't like is the fact that its so big and I have to carry it around separately. I'm working on just using the tip in a smaller body with a clip that I can attach to the fold of the flip cover so that it doesn't interfere with it closing.
Other than that I love it. Oh yea, you can't use it on any other device.....

I don't have have a note 10.1 to test.... I can see it working on that as the screen is similar to ours. Same with the note and note 2. As far as iphones, iPads, my transformer etc. It will work if u push extremely hard.... feels like I'll break the glass though if I do. Its because the tip is so fine, roughly half the size of a standard stylus
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
it's to my understanding that the reason the C-Pen won't work on most other devices is because the Galaxy S3 and a few other Samsung devices have a higher "resolution" (if you will) touch sensor. Basically it doesn't require as much of a contact patch to detect touch.
