It'll probably be a nexus s type nexus.

I could see it. Except better since the nexus S kinda sucks (from someone who STILL HAS ONE).

Also LG making the nexus 5 might not be terrible. They've been getting slowly better at the hardware stuff recently, especially in their latest bunch. I wonder if it'll be the same hardware design direction as the 4 though, or more following the optimus g pro (minus button).

You guys are funny.

You guys are funny.

you don't find it odd that google would go all out with this X phone thing and also be making a nexus 5 with LG?

THAT'S A BIT ODD DON'T YOU THINK. Unless it's completely LGs choice to release the phone and google is like go for it!

 

[The Faceless Master]

LG again ugh.

well, at least it wasn't Pantech, Huawei or Sony!

If you buy any phone right now you'll punch yourself in the face and crotch.

Will Verizon customers be able to purchase the X-Phone at a low price from the Play store without contract?

Will CDMA and GSM be on one chip, making this one of Motorola's world phones?

Hey looks like this article from a month ago may have been right: http://www.android.gs/nexus-5-release-date/

Sources inside LG supply chain inform that the South Korea based company is already making Nexus 5 prototypes and that the smartphone will be based on the company’s next flagship smartphone the LG Optimus G Pro, which is expected to debut later this month at Mobile World Congress 2013.

As it happened with all the previous Nexus smartphones, the Nexus 5 will be running the latest Android iteration out of the box, and since the Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie is expected to launch in May at Google I/O, this will be the version underpinning the new flagship smartphone.

Ghetto hacking a sim to a micro sim as we speak. Downloaded a template from the web. Will report back.

You guys got me.... Of course LG will make a better phone than Moto. :/

Well no one can say which would be better but I thought at I/O we were going to see the X phone being the phone that shows off Key Lime Pie. But if there is a Nexus 5, doesn't that uhhh kind of ruin that? What are they going to announce both at the same time? The sitch just got weird.

Cutting worked despite my GF's apprehension. Got her phone up and running.

I was pretty surprised how sloppy you can be while cutting it, and still have it work.

Yeah she cut cause I have shaky hands, and it wasn't perfect even still. It worked as soon as we booted up though.

[BootlegSnackz]

anyone looking for a good podcast app needs to try Pocketcasts now

ever since it updated it has been the best replacement for Listen

Clean interface and simple to use, plus syncs across multiple phones and tablets.

Newest update just added a dark theme. And it has had the widget back for at least a few weeks... Crazy good


Now to find a replacement for Google Reader. Googy you bastard

I remember back when everyone had 100 diff models out there. I can't even remember what an inspire 4g was.

It was the US/AT&T version of the Desire HD aka in Europe. It was like AT&T's 1st fake 4G phone. Nobody bought the phone though at full price, but AT&T kept it around as it was one of their cheaper offerings. Hardware was between the GS1 and GS2, and the latest official firmware was Sense 3.0 with Gingerbread 2.3.5.

Safe to say the upgrade is pretty massive. That being said I do wonder how bad the over clocked Tegra 3 chipset is on battery. At anyrate the GF was just happy that the FB app actually worked and didn't crash on her. LOL

You guys gotta be here for when I drop the bomb LIVE.

As super high res phone displays were being discussed, I also wanted to point out the current rumors indicate the Sony phablet which is supposedly in the 6.44" range will also have a resolution of 2560x1600, and is supposed to be slated for a June announcement.

 

[dave_m123]

Getting?

LOL

 

[Groof]

Aren't Nexus phones based on flagship phones of the general time frame it gets released? Unless it is just a slight spec bump then sure I guess...

6.1".

Ahh, so they are going with the Toshiba panel?

Also on esato there are rumblings that Sony is considering pushing up the One Sony announcement to June. If this is true then I may delay my ZL purchase.
