Anyone who has an phone upgrade due

[JJonas]

How does it handle a Facebook feed?

 

Friendstream is the one thing that has kept me on a Sense ROM for so long. Is there a suitable replacement in Android 4?

[HaleStorm]

There is a facebook widget that you can put onto one of the home screens, it seems to work ok and the facebook app itself refreshed very quickly on wifi and on 3G

I also have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

It was my first smartphone (The phone I had previously was some 5 year old brick that did nothing much apart from calls and texts)

I was a little concerned over the size of the phone before I ordered, however I've grown to love it.

 

For a lady or even a man with small hands the phone may be a bit too big, but for me it’s fine. It's light and feels good in your hands to hold, and I don't really notice that it's in my pocket. The screen is excellent and I really love it. Having a big screen and running at 720p reso it's very easy to navigate and good for watching movies etc.

Older androids might of had these features...I’m not sure, but I like how everything syncs. My bookmarks sync with Google Chrome which is what I like the most, and then the same with contacts, photos and other stuff that I forget.

Battery life seems good to me. Currently my phone has been running on battery for 9 hours and it's at 65% battery capacity, although I haven’t done anything too taxing on the phone, just emails, sms, web browsing and playing with a few apps. Still seems fine to me.

 

The people's app on ICS is nice because it has all your contacts and then you can select the contact and swipe across to see twitter updates etc. from that contact.

I like the phone lots and could say lots more about it. I'm happy to try answer any questions and test stuff out if you need as well.

Only minor complaint might be the sound. At times it feels like the sound could be a little louder but can’t because it's already on max.

 

My contract is with T- Mobile

Length = 18 months @ £25 per month

Minutes = 300

Text = 300

Internet = Unlimited

 

It cost me £159 for the handset with £30 cashback, so over the 18 months it costs me £579 including the price of the phone.

Big? That's not big.. I just took delivery of a Galaxy Note.. THAT's big..

Android 4 now has proper Proxy Settings avaliable in the menu and its on a per connection basis and not an over all setting.

TFFT! ABBT!

Did you get it directly from T-Mobile or another company? I'm due an upgrade and couldn't see it on their site.

Also, T-Mobile don't do "Unlimited" Internet anymore, unless you've got an OLD plan.

I still have Unlimited, but was told I will lose this if I "upgrade"...

 

I've been looking for a NFC Phone for a couple of years

I got it from here.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Pay Monthly - Mobile Phone Deals - e2save.com

 

It says Unlimited data, so I guess it's unlimited lol? Sure there be some fair use policy somewhere though.

[featured_spectre]

Unlimited means 500mb with t-mobile and Orange, 1gb with 3, o2, vodaphone and virgin.

I just read it's 500mb for streaming/download, but unlimited for web browsing.

What ever it is... i'm happy:)

I could never find it in Android 3, i always ended up having to find a proxy app for people who wanted to use the schools WiFi

 

When you add a new wireless network there's a proxy settings drop down which can be set to manual so you can specify a host name and port.

 

My transformer runs 3.2.1

The new QuadCore phones may be out by then, looking at some of the leaked spec sheets on GSMArena they look to be pretty awesome, 1.4Ghz DualCore Snapdragons with Tegra3 chips and 2gb ram....they will outperform netbooks!!

 

Do you possibly have a link? The info I've found on this is very sketchy

 

I too am looking at a New phone in Feb and planning on the Galaxy Nexus but my mind could be changed

[north-ict]

Sounds like quite a few of us are ending or nearing the end of our contracts. Its just a worry when your on the tip of new releases and buy something thats older.

I'm due an upgrade in January but have been able to upgrade online for about a month but I want a "deal" from Vodafone as I have been with them for 12 years but I can only get a deal on on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus if I call them

[SimpleSi]

but I want a "deal"

 

It just depends on their sales plan when you phone.

 

MY advice is to say you are leaving and when you get put through to the leaving dept then negoiate - but you have to be prepared to walk to somewhere else if they are not able to wheel and deal at the time.
