Galaxy Nexus: ICS/Android 4.0

[Keiran]

What do you think? A true iPhone killer?
Or does the lack of an SD Card drive put you off?

Ohh, it doesn't have SD Card Slot ?! 

Maybe their perspective is from an iPhone. Anyways the Phone is of course a Killer. Normally Google affiliated phones are.
Nexus S brought the GB, and now Galaxy Nexus with ICS

I think Google are starting to release phones with every Android update, correct me if I am wrong but:
Nexus One - Eclair/Froyo
Nexus S - Gingerbread
Nothing for honeycomb but that is understandable since that Android version is for Tablets.
Galaxy Nexus - ICS

Yes, its true. But the thing I'm not understanding is, why Google making Phones in tie up with Samsung when they already
have Motorola in hand! (Even though making with Samsung is good, because Samsung phones are relatively cheaper compared to Motorola)

The nexus one was made by HTC, but apart from that the other models are made by samsung.
If you look at the phones in the market, the Samsung Galaxy SII and the Motorola Atrix, which do you think sell more? Samsung.
I think Google and Samsung have a contract also.
It does not really bother me because this forum originated as a samsung firmware network and samsung phones tend to have better hardware, eg. the best screen I have seen is the Super AMOLED Plus on the GSII.

Hehe !! 
Well, I was mentioning about Google's acquisition of Motorola Mobility. (http://mashable.com/2011/08/15/google-motorola/)
Even I've also seen many problems raised by Moto users for their Android Devices, mainly in Android Market while, those apps didn't
have an issue with my Phone. But question is why contract with outside Hardware vendor, while Google 'now' having their own.
Maybe its more clear from the comparison b/w SII and Atrix.


Off Topic: Why I'm not able to reply in "The Dark Forest Group" Thread. The "Youtube" video doesn't looks to show up (Preview)
in the New Theme of DFG. Also, when new posts are being typed, when previewed some parts of texts tends missing from the screen.
The forum's view reverted from full widescreen view. Note that, all these are my suggestions. Didn't know exactly where to post them.

I changed the widescreen view because I think it looks better the way it is.
The Darkforest Group thread -> something to do with permissions, sorting it out now...
Btw, for the text going off the screen, look at the link in my signature
