Then get the Maxx. You won't be cutting edge (see comparison) on some specs, but you'll be the envy of everyone tethered to an outlet at the airport.
The RAZR Maxx must have ICS by now, right? The chart in that link indicates GB (2.3).Then get the Maxx. You won't be cutting edge (see comparison) on some specs, but you'll be the envy of everyone tethered to an outlet at the airport.
Yes. It now has ICS.The RAZR Maxx must have ICS by now, right? The chart in that link indicates GB (2.3).
Yeah, there are threads around the internet about the C&P problems. The only solution I have seen involves having your phone rooted and clearing out the clipboard cache. I haven't read anything about Samsung addressing it.My G Siii won't receive picture messages from an iPhone...anyone run into this trouble?
ALso, I can't copy and paste anymore, the browser (chrome and dolphin) always crashes
There's CDMA coverage across most of Canada.The Nexus 4 is built by LG, though.
My RAZR Maxx is an LTE world phone, and that functionality saved my bacon in Canada on vacation this summer. I lived on Yelp and Google Maps.
The implication is he could remove the SIM card given it's a world phone. You can't do that with regular CDMA phones.There's CDMA coverage across most of Canada.
About a month and a half ago, Best Buy had a deal to extend a contract and get a free Galaxy Nexus (after $30 activation fee... fu Verizon), I jumped on that and a couple weeks afterward Verizon updated the phone to Jelly Bean. Google now is exponentially more useful on the phone than the Nexus 7 (I have one as well). I rooted the phone this past weekend (trivially easy with the root tools available on XDA... the process wipes the phone though), and I'll be able to get any put any upgrades on the phone via XDA (and way ahead of Verizon.. if they even are going to upgrade the GNex anymore... FU verizon).Google Now (and jelly bean in general) is very cool, and I absolutely love the stock Android experience.
Was responding to the "world phone saving his bacon in Canada". I do a lot of international travel and can only use world phones from Verizon, but it's not necessary up north.The implication is he could remove the SIM card given it's a world phone. You can't do that with regular CDMA phones.
It's incredibly expensive to roam with a Verizon CDMA phone in Canada. Having the ability to swap out a local SIM will save you a ton of money visiting there. We're talking savings in the hundreds.Was responding to the "world phone saving his bacon in Canada".

Sigh. Got an upgrade in January that would have been perfect for this phone.I don't have one yet, but I got some hands-on time with the Nexus 4 today. Ho-lee shit is it nice. I want. I want it now.
Buy this phone. Except for suckers still using Verizon. For you: jealously wish you could buy this phone.
(Favorite part: at AT&T or T-Mobile postpad plan prices versus prepaid, the cost of an unlocked Nexus 4 straight from Google will pay for the difference in about three months.)

I still love my SII, but I'll be due for an upgrade in another 6 months - it's guaranteed that my next phone will be an unlocked Nexus. I'll be interested to see if they make the next Nexus a Motorolla phone, but I'm sure it's not too far away.I don't have one yet, but I got some hands-on time with the Nexus 4 today.

That you're still on ICS is one thing; because Verizon (and Sprint) require special drivers for their nonstandard hardware means that manufacturers are generally slower and worse about updating--the Galaxy Nexus updates were through Verizon instead of Google, and it showed.What's wrong with Verizon? Apart from getting a signal everywhere I travel to?
Whereas Nexus devices have had it since about two weeks after its release (except on--yep--Verizon). And the difference between 4.0 and 4.1 is stark in terms of user experience.Jellybean is on its way
A difference I will doubtless appreciate even more having played with 4.0 in the interim, instead of jumping from 2.3 to 4.1. B)Whereas Nexus devices have had it since about two weeks after its release (except on--yep--Verizon). And the difference between 4.0 and 4.1 is stark in terms of user experience.
As nice as this must be for Nexus 4 owners to hear, there is one huge “if” condition involved with enabling 4G: it only works if you’re on a wireless carrier that uses spectrum included in Band 4. As of typing, this includes Telus, Rogers and Bell in Canada, as well as AT&T in the US in some regions. Other wireless carriers in the US, Europe and Australia use different bands, so the majority of Nexus 4 owners are out of luck.
This is why Google/LG didn’t announce support for 4G LTE as a feature in the Nexus 4: it only supports a very small fraction of wireless carriers.
What terrifies you? Are you new to android?I just got the Samsung Galaxy S III yesterday. I love it, but to be honest I am terrified of it. Any suggestions or tips that would help me? The first thing I want to figure out is hwo to change the keyboard, I hate the one it came with.
The Android keyboard is still kind of shitty in 4.2, though; I still use Swype Beta on my devices. I find that a lot of the value in the Swype keyboard is the easy long-press functions, which the stock keyboard lacks.If you can grab the 4.2 update (I don't know if there is any mod for the SIII with it right now), you get the Swype functionality.
