At least as an android user we have the option of using a different launcher unlike Apple products.

I personally think it remains the droid phone...
Nexus phone won't be that high resolution screen tho...

This is a Phone.. you won't see it get the low pricing that the Nexus 7 got. No way.

What are you talking about? The only gripe most people have with HTC is their Sense interface. Besides that, they have the best build-quality of any Android manufacturer (except maybe Motorola) and the components they use are second to none. Honestly, it'll be a nice change from the plasitcky Samsung Nexus devices we've been being treated to.

Im talking about how I (not everyone else) don't like HTC ui.. I've had the Sensation 4g and the amaze 4g.. My personal opinion on it is that it slows the phone down a lot.. I always end up downloading something else to change it. I understand that their One series is lighter but I can't deal anymore.

if it's Nexus, it will be Sense-less..

can you make Sense of that?

I thought about that... HTC isn't doing to well right now and maybe Google put a bid out and HTC came in at the lowest price point to build... IDK just a thought

The way it has always worked before was every company submitted a device to google to become the next "nexus" and they picked what they thought the best device was. Now that everyone is allowed to make a "nexus", I'm not really sure.
Knowing Google, my guess would be the only true requirement would be stock with direct access from Google for updates... unless your on VZW of course, then your screwed like every other phone.

It depends: if you get the global version it will probably be unlocked. If you get a carrier branded version (especially Verizon) then good luck, sister...

Love my Rezound too bro. Highly underrated phone, imo. If this indeed winds up a Nexus device, I will likely change my stance on the 5" phone and get it. This device as a Nexus could really be a huge boost to HTC.

Stop complaining and root/unlock it then.

GSM networks are quad-band and 3G ones are pentaband. I think you are confusing the both.

95. remixfa posted on 25 Sep 2012, 08:05 0

eeh no.
There are 5 GSM frequencies. When you include the 4 standard GSM frequencies + Tmobile's 3g/4g frequencies its called pentaband.

The unlocked galaxy nexus sold in the Google Play store is pentaband. It will work on every 2g/3g/4g GSM carrier in the world.

85. Berzerk000 posted on 25 Sep 2012, 02:13 1

Knowing Google, they will most definitely sell it on Google Play unlocked, as well as on a carrier. Most likely within the $400-500 range. So all of the phablet lovers that want nice stock Android on a 5+ inch display can have the option to do so without having to get custom roms.

96. remixfa posted on 25 Sep 2012, 08:07 0

the galaxy nexus was more expensive than that at first ($650 at launch if i remember) and it didnt have near the specs. To have any hope of the price coming down, the specs need to come back to earth a bit.

101. Berzerk000 posted on 25 Sep 2012, 10:39 0

Yeah, the display needs to be 720p instead of 1080. And maybe they should stick with a dual S4 Pro instead of a quad. If they can keep the Nexus 7 at 200, the idea of 400-500 is feasible

well from all the rumors lately it seems probable that there'll be more than one new Nexus phone here soon. there may be a Moto Nexus yet.

87. Berzerk000 posted on 25 Sep 2012, 03:25 0

I can only hope. I might actually have to settle for a Sony if there isn't a Moto Nexus, and assuming HTC won't make a smaller version of this Nexus 5...

86. Berzerk000 posted on 25 Sep 2012, 02:14 4

If it has a quad S4 Pro, and you enjoy stock Android vs. Touchwiz, then definitely the HTC. HTC is known for having better build quality than Samsung as well, so that's a plus.

totally true! but i doubt HTC coz it has now "a close tights" with Microsoft!

i wish sony or motorola!

If it's a Nexus there is no Sense. Although you could root it and add it.
