yup. but I don't think it will be 8GB - maybe it was only for devs to cut the costs of production...

or maybe... this is a $300 unlocked phone to go on fire like the Nexus 7?

btw, I don't like relying on the cloud either. I prefer card slots and yes, at least 16GB.

i strongly believe it's a prototype and 8gb means nothing in that case.

I would never get a phone with 8GB of storage unless there is a microSD card slot. If they decide NOT to include the microSD card slot then a MINIMUM of 32GB of storage is needed.

I firmly believe this is just a prototype & 8GB was included. This WILL never see the light of day. If Google decides to shove cloud based storage down our throats then it will be one of the biggest FAILS in recent times.

Cloud is not for everyone & Google I think is smart enough not to do something so crazy.

Why is there talk of a 32GB Nexus 7? Point made I think. lol

I use kloud storage (my letter "see" key is stuk, forgive me.) for pretty mutsh everything these days. However, I dont want to be forsed to either. My dox, most of my musik (i keep some on the devise just in kase.) Hell, even my pix auto bak up to G+.

All that said, I'd still like to see at LEAST 16 on there. having low memory is not an exkuse to make it sheaper. Your talking the differense of a few pennies at ekonomies of skale, nothing that is going to make any big differense in the final kost.

Frikkin "see" key,... ugh..literally just stopped working... grrrrr...

If this thing is cheap! and cloud storage is good enough to use! then you can believe i will be lookin at it LOL :)

With all those MONSTER SPECS you're gonna not wanna get it cuz of low memory?? like i said if cloud storage is convenient enough to use then it should be excuseable......but also lets look for what other nexuses are available from sony, htc, and others before getting tied up to this one........things are getting better and better :)

Let's hope that they are not taking a page out of Apple's book. (itunes)

especially the nexus phones where developer phones but with only
8GB.. i hope the g nexus 2 has more GB storage.. i think its a handicap

Well they better make a lesser affordable option available to consumers... As the iPhone 5 has proven, the cost of the phone won't matter as much if you create something people truly desire. I imagine a number of people would gladly plunk down cash on a higher GB model without issue.

If 8GB is all we get I know they've lost me as a consumer, which is a shame since I love my Galaxy Nexus...

i suppose if they make multiple nexus devices, htc nexus 5 will be on the top

You're referring to the last Nexus device, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, not the original. The original Nexus, the Nexus One had .5GB of onboard storage, but it did have microSD.

It's both depending on how you look at it. The full resolution is 1280x768. The reason it's sometimes listed as 1184 is because 96 rows of pixels are reserved for the software buttons.

Oh I see.

Thanks.

36. g2a5b0e posted on 13 Oct 2012, 00:04 1

It's actually 1280x768, an aspect ratio of 15:9. 96 rows of pixels are used for the software buttons. I can't say I know why they chose 15:9 over 16:9 either, but I see no serious disadvantage to it. An extra 48 rows of pixels can't hurt, I suppose.
